London Calling, you Zombies of Death! A Transfer Thread?

Can someone explain why you guys rate Lansbury so highly. I'm not disagreeing, I just haven't seen enough to have a strong opinion. He hasn't seemed too impressive in his first team appearances.

Personally, I was impressed with him at Norwich last year (and not just because of the Dougie!!). He showed great potential there, and while I don't think he knows what kind of midfield role suits himn yet (playmaker, box-to-box, anchor), I think with Wenger and Pimorac molding him over a couple of years mixed with his natural talent can allow him to be a solid, reliable midfielder.

My impressions are only from his spell at Norwich. I think he did as good in the Championship on loan as Wilshere did in the Prem on loan, so I think has has another few years before he can consistently play in the first team, but I think he is well on his way.

Arsene Wenger has said of Lansbury:
