yes, i get that it's a youtube highlight. and it was championship. but, damn, if he don't look halfway decent. he should be here playing so we can find out if he is worth keeping. the jeff and, hell, oxlade-chamberlain should be sent out on loan and campbell allowed to find a new home. as is . . . he's going to spend a year at granada then sign somewhere else next year and our investment will have been . . . for naught. that's just dumb.
He's the same age as Bellerin and has yet to play a top flight game. Needs to play (and it sounds like he's not going to get that PT here).
i didn't think this one was terribly epic. a lot of the dribbling stuff, i don't think, would come off for us/against our competition. that said, i feel like you can see glimpses of what he can be and we need to find out if he can play at our level. if i am not mistaken, we picked up his option and this is the end of his contract. there would be nothing to keep him here if he does well on loan. and it'll just be another development that just . . . goes.
i haven't seen him extended but, based on the highlight, i'd like to see what he can do out wide to see if he can do a ljungberg. don't know if he's good enough defensively or even control to do B2B/ramsey/middle central midfielder role but those are the only two roles i can see him filling for us.
Anyone that follows the youth teams familiar with Kristopher Da Graca? How is he rated, do you think he can break into the first team or is he likely to leave?
We don't have a loan thread anymore but here is a radar Takuma Asano - 1st half of 2. Bundesliga 16/17 [for @Arsenaliac] pic.twitter.com/8srtRNI4Fz— Football Radars (@FussballRadars) December 21, 2016 Looks like a top dribbler.
NEEDED we lack dribblers in the team thats why everyone is on the Santi wagon. We need more dribblers to make CB's commit and open spaces up behind.
Didn't Wenger say he was close to the first team? although that 1 time he played for us last season he looked bang average.
We're losing Jonkers & Ljundberg to a Wolfsburg opportunity http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39103619 Good for them perhaps. Not so good for us perhaps.
Perhaps but more and more clubs are developing a system for production where bright coaches can come in and plug into. The idea of bringing Jonkers was to create such a system. I hope he has done some of that.
