He mostly played in defensive positions. How many goals would Lamptey's highlight reel show?

They won't get 30 million for him though.

Goals aren't the only thing that highlights a players ability. Lamptey's highlight reel, already, is him outpacing Jamie Vardy to get back into position. A couple of quality dribbles down the wing to get out of tight positions, marshalling wingers out of the game, etc.

If the best the Arsenal fans can manage to find of AMN is 2 yard tap ins and a couple of decent passes then either they're not very good at compiling a video or he's one of these players who "do all their work off the ball to make space for others".

I'm on board with this.

According to the Sun ( :D ), Arteta doesn't want to sell him but the powers that be have decided it's happening. The player wants to stay in London and now Spurs have thrown their hat into the ring, along with Palace, West Ham and Fulham. Arsenal want 30 million but "might have to settle for 20 mill".

This is what I heard from an Arsenal fan yesterday. Arteta is really pleased with how far he's come on, but he's being told to sell because he they (the hierachy) don't want him on the books next season.

You focused on the goals. That vid of AMN showed pace, one touch passing, skills, awareness, composure, and strength on the ball. Of course you can't read too much into a shot video but it gave a good all round impression (to me at least).

So is this one still a probability or even a possibility?

Yea, along with cups and T-shirts with the hash tag. Maybe a website. Don't want to be too tin pot about it....

I'll Tweet Amnesty International.

Oh and Emirates airlines. #BoycottEmirates

Bloody auto correct [emoji1]

In true BHA style we should go with #freeashley - the Yorkshire bellends wouldn’t understand the humour!

Interesting titbit at the end of this article on AMN:

"The report adds that Ainsley Maitland-Niles could follow Ceballos out of the club ‘with the 22-year-old apparently feeling untrusted by the Arsenal boss’.

The Englishman ‘is attracting interest from three clubs – two in the Premier League, one in the Bundesliga’ and would like to start playing in a ‘right-wing role’ at his potential new club."


Would be some right side with Lamptey & AMN if we land him!

The lad loves Brighton.
He's best mates with Lamptey.
His girlfriend lives near Brighton.
He went on holiday once.
Who would you rather play for? A manager or another manager?
Tinpot Arsenal.

Doesn't scan very well, what's the tune?

It's not a song. Just joining in on the #FreeBenWhite parody.

This is what Leeds fans have been arguing about Ben White. "Kalvin Philips" "Bielsa" "Blah blah".
