Reiss Nelson

Still has no awareness and almost always picks the wrong pass.

The problem with these young wingers is that everybody wants to be Robben.

Meh, he’s barely had a run of games to judge his decision making by.

The talent is there. Would be great to have a better winger than Pepe and have him and Martinelli battling it out for minutes/runs in the team on the other wing (Martinelli also through the centre) but unfortunately we spent 72m pretty badly.

Because that would not be good social distancing nor appropriate behaviour generally.

How are ya all feeling about his development atm ?

For me. There is no question about his ability. Absolutely insane dribbling, speed and vision. Add to that a good healthy brain and a humble hardworking attitude.

Injuries has been his downfall this season, but im still hoping to see a lot more of him during the corona festival of football.

He is regarded as the more talented of him and Sancho, which tells you alot about his ceiling.

Arteta could be the perfect catalysator for him to seal his name as an Arsenak great. Lets hope it turns out well.

Nah. Maybe at some point when they were both 15. But this is Eisfeld is regarded as the bigger talent than Gƶtze level facile.

Do like me some Nelson though :sunglasses:

Nelson on the right and Pepe on the left will do a lot to improve the fluidity of the football and their own effectiveness. But that will probably never happen.

Should be our front 3 for alliteration purposes alone

I can’t imagine Pepe being anything but shit on the left. Then again it’s kinda hard for me to imagine Pepe being anything but shit in general.

Arteta does need to find a way to get Nelson a run in the team though.

Of course you can’t. You’ve already decided what you’re stance of Pepe will be ;).

Nailed it. :giroud3:

If you’re referring to the fact I’ve decided he’s shit and it’s highly doubtful he becomes more than average for us then yeah.

I’ve been wrong before, though, and never been afraid to do a 180 when I have. See Ramsey, Walcott, etc

But Pepe has been a disappointment. I wish he was better. Lille fleeced us big time and now we’re stuck with a player who looks like another guy who can’t hack it at this level.

I take absolutely zero pleasure in finding myself on the same side of the argument as @AbouCuellar who is an arch troll. :ozil:

If arch troll means dude who’s fucking right about everything since 2015 then I guess yeah :man_shrugging:t2::sunglasses::cowboy_hat_face:

I think he has the pace and trickery to become really good for Arsenal, but the fact that everything has to be done with the left foot works very limiting.

@Joshua Arsenal overpaid, definitely. Couldn’t care less about that though.

Nelson still got a lot to prove. Even the younger Saka looks streets ahead.

In order, for me its:

Guen
Martinelli
Saka
Willock
ESR
Nelson

Martinelli is a much better prospect with a higher ceiling than Guendouzi imo

I’d swap ESR with Willock but otherwise totally agree with this list.

Martinelli could possibly have a higher ceiling, agree there. But Guendouzi is our most well rounded and ready to start youngster at this moment in time.

Yeah there’s not much in it tbh. Both aren’t setting the world alight lets face it.
