Ricky, who do you reckon has the best shot at making it in the first team out of Zelalem, Jeff and Crowley?
At this point, Jeff looks a mile ahead.
I don't know what sort of player we'll see return from Scotland in Zelalem's case though. He's so good technically and such a clever footballer that I still have high hopes.
The one thing that I think will hold Jeff back is his lack of a defined position. He's neither a midfielder or an attacker currently, not really anyway. Would like to see him really find his best role. He'll get games wide for us next season here and there I reckon though.
Crowley doesn't quite have it in my opinion. He's going through a rough patch after his strange loan situation but he always looked better than he actually was for me. Phenomal balance and dribbling though. I'm not writing him off but he needs a lot of the ball to be effective and he does of a lot of stupid things that tell me he won't get the chance at Arsenal to be as central to the team as he needs to be.
