For people feeling low, when everything seems fucked sometimes great players step up. Have we got one now? We'll find out soon

Jon Toral-Harper:

Burnwinter

He's Toral-Harper now? I see his Englishness is in the ascendancy at the moment - or is that the Sanchez-Vicario / Guevara-Lynch thing?

asajoseph

If his name was Jon Harper, imagine how much less exciting this would be....

I believe Toral is his father's name, Harper his mother's name.

Burnwinter

That would make sense with the Spanish mother's maiden name thing.

Ryo Miyaichi's first Arsenal interview (I think):

Captain

Is he in his school uniform?

Ricky1985

Yeah, he is. Must be from a few months back.

Klaus

It's from december when he signed, I think. I've seen that pic before, several months ago. They ask him towards the end how the injury is healing too, to which he responds that he's over it and playing again.

Ricky1985

It's look more and more like we've got a really good player on our hands in Kyle.

Ricky1985

And a decent debut from Conor Henderson. You can see what a useful player he could be in central midfield, lovely left foot, good range of passing, along with a good build and athleticism. He'll have to really come on to make it here, because competition is so fierce, but he'll become a good player no doubt.

Really? And I mean really?

If that was some Chelsea or Man U youngster, can you honestly say you'd be impressed by that?

4 mins of footage, 1/3 of which isn't actually any football, an overhit long ball, a blatant handball, 2-3 nervous looking knocks out of play and, apart from the header at the minute mark, some pretty routine defending.

Meh.

Ricky1985

Obviously it's a guess that's based on far more than that video alone. Come on, Luka, think about it.

It was a very mature performance. Was nice to see. He didn't show much of his distribution but we already know he's got a good range. At this point it's about making yourself useful to the team more than anything else and he realised that. I'd like to see both him and Miquel feature a little bit more next season, but they've got their work cut out when you consider that Bartley, Ramsey, Lansbury and JET will all be back.

Guessing both will go out on loan next season, providing a club can be found.

Ricky1985

Think both of them need to have successful season-long loans, preferably in the Championship, next season, if they are going have a chance of making it here.

Klaus

Yeah, probably. I don't think Henderson is going to have any trouble finding a Championship club. I'd try Cardiff again perhaps, providing they stay down. They want to move the ball around quickly and could use a clever midfielder in there.

Miquel I'm less sure about. I think a loan to Spain might be better for his development. His strongest points aren't the ones that are most sought for in the Championship.

Sorry, the posted video with the 'it looks more and more' comment underneath suggested I was about to watch something impressive tbh.. (although that makes me an idiot, I watched the full game and wasn't that impressed)

I prefer the look of Miquel personally.

Ricky1985

And some aspects of it were impressive.

I've seen the kid countless times now, and know alot of his strengths and weaknesses, what I learnt from that video, and what has impressed me recently, is his calm demeanour in matches that are FAR bigger than anything he has ever played in previously. He doesn't seem awed or scared at all, and he looks like he's up for the fight too. So when you add that to what alot of us already know about him, week by week, performance after performance, he is starting to look a really good player in the making.

Miquel can't defend half as well as Bartley can, although he does have potential. Still, he's a million miles away from being able to go to somewhere like Sporting Lisbon or Celtic Park, and play as well as Bartley has recently.

Clrnc

Conor Henderson is not going to make it here. I think he have the talent to flourish in a midtable premierleague club in future, but if Lansbury will make it, then he won't simply because there is a lack of space in the squad. Even if Cesc leaves, I think we will buy someone to replace him.

Bartley meanwhile, I am positive either him or Miquel will make it as 4th choice. They would definitely do better than Squid imo. I also like how Bartley don't shy away from challenges and fights even when he is new at Rangers. Lacks abit of pace though
