Yep that was lovely, quick and precise football from back to front. Lovely goal.

Sorry, can't do that. Welbeck and Walcott need games.
Unfortunately there are some very strong rumours around that Jadon Sancho is going to be joining Tottenham today.
Nelson should just unfriend him.
Nelson is ready, but we all know Wenger doesn't have the balls to use him properly.

That would be terrible, and also shows how much a pull Spurs has nowadays with young English talents after Pochettino's work there.
We better be careful, it is quite possible we could lose the likes of Nelson to them as well
Biggest regret was Rohan Ricketts. I still have nightmares about that move.
I thought I was the only one

Wenger: "I could've signed Jadon Sancho"
"Go ask his mummy"
Even if we're not getting Sancho* - and he'll regret it btw because Wenger would have been very good for him as a player and a person - we still have Reiss Nelson. The kid is a genius.
Not sure it'd be so clear cut he'd regret, if he did go to Spurs there track record at developing youth has been pretty good recently and Arguably better then Wenger's. I can't remember the last youth player he has personally overseen who has got the same sort of level of the notable ones for Spurs.
Pochettino is a better manager for youth products than Wenger in recent years. His track record showed at Southampton and Spurs.
I lost count of the amount of times Wenger preferred some useless first teamer than a better youth product.
I stand by what I said. Sancho could go either way and Wenger would have been, and would still be, very good for him.
Anyway, Jack was great to watch the other night as well:
He can't come back and displace Xhaka quickly enough.
I know it's a highlight reel and u23 level but that looked good.
Without Sanchez/Ozil/Ox:
---------------------Cech -------Mustafi--Koscielny--Monreal Nelson------Xhaka--Wilshere------Kolasinac -------------------Ramsey --------------Giroud--Lacazette
Jack <3
What a player.

It's every touch he had, so its a fair representation of how he played. And it might only be U23s but we've seen him do that for Arsenal at every level and also for England. Just wish he could get himself properly fit but it's a pipe dream.
