Ooo. Got to take this seriously now.
Soares risks annihilation at the hands of Holloway.
The Mirror are reporting that United are set to bid £8m.

I might be a tinpot footballer but i don’t bullshit

Let's sign him as well.

I like Zaha, but I reckon he would do better to stay at Palace till the end of the season. He has good attributes, but I don't think there's too much to be gained from our point of view bringing him in January compared to the summer. Obviously if other teams make bids now, then our hand will be forced, but I reckon we should wait. He plays at a decent level already and plays in a physical division so IMO he does not necessarily need an extra 6 month adaptation period that we might want from our foreign signings. He will likely only get bit part minutes initially at Arsenal as well. Should he stay at Palace, I think we could benefit from the experience gained trying to push Palace to promotion. He is a key player and mentally I think he will gain far more and likewise his new club, if he can start to prove his consistency and temperament in more pressured situations.

He looks nothing more than a kick and run merchant. When he tries to dribble with the ball he looks like he's not in control of his own body, and half the time he looks like he's running down a blind alley. He looks completely raw, he probably need 3 - 4 years to iron out is deficiency.

I do not want, I want a ready made player who can do a job now plus if we want project to work on we have Serge Gnabry who is younger, can dribble far better, who knows our ways and he looks like a person that know what to do with the ball when he receive it.

Potential to be a complete flat track bully ala bale

Which makes me wonder why does Theo with his pace become a flat track fully like Bale.

Doesn't have any reason for Tom Soares to lie imo. Done deal?

Because Theo lacks power imo & gets pushed of the ball too easily, think its something he should work on in the gym even if it does reduce his speed marginally.

I'm hearing zaha to us with guh narby on loan to them

F*ck me! Kick and run? Are you sure?

He's not 'kick & run' at all.

For my money, he's at least where Ox is now, if not a little ahead. I think he's a class talent, and would play straight away. Not that he's the finished article yet, but he's ready now for sure.

He's far from ready, only thing he will do is frustrated us and also he's way behind Ox in term of development. People is acting like he's lighting up the Championship this season, he's not.

I really don't fancy him, but Wenger and co seems really interested in him for some reason.

They seem to be taking championship players more and more with importance, praising the likes of Lambert and signing players from there

No idea what you're basing any of that on, but you're pretty much 100% wrong

I am not 100% wrong, maybe 30% but still from what I have seen from him he is raw and needs a lot work. If he comes in now he will just frustrated us and he will probably need couple of years to be at a certain level we want at Arsenal.

Maybe I am been harsh on him because I want somebody to do a job right know. The Championship and Premiership are two different level and he's not even lighting up the Championship.

He's doing really well in the Championship so far this season though...

Anyhow, physically there should be no reason he can't make the move now. He's got the pace, strength & close control to step up quickly, though he has to get his head up earlier & that's something he has to work on, but to me he looks ahead of Ox in the wide positions already.

Physically I know that he is ready, It's his decision making are not up to standard we want it to be, like you point out he needs to lift his head quicker to make the right decision, don't get me wrong I would gladly welcome him here but if I had to choose I would want somebody more establish and ready to get going.

If I am really honest I would love to have him and an establish player but we know how Arsene is fucking cheap.

He's been pretty average for the last couple of months, outperformed by Bolasie, probably had his head turned by all the speculation.
Agree with shinda, wouldn't say no as he has decent potential but this kid won't be the game changer we need going forward this season. He's at Ox's level at best.
Anything above 8m upfront would be stupid though.
