HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

lol nothing special

Segway

He played really well when we played Anderlecht too. With the kind of authority and maturity that Zelalem can only dream of (for now).

Yep. I'm not going to make predictions about where they all will end up, but if Zelalem were on Tielemans' level he wouldn't have run around in the Arsenal reserves for so long. The compilation you posted on the other page was really impressive.

Mirth

He's also played in the Champions League. And has done since the age of 16.

I don't know if he's any good or not but comparing him to Crowley or Zelalem is irrelevant anyway.

I'm also certain that no one on here was paying any attention to Tielemans when we were playing Anderlecht. I certainly wasn't.

And even if I was, it's still 2 games against a significantly better team - not exactly the best game to judge a 17 year old.

I was because as you said he was only 17 years old which obviously made him interesting. He didn't stand out in any particular way but didn't look out of place either and that was impressive in itself.

Bet Zelalem would be first choice at Anderlecht too.

jones

He wouldn't. I've actually watched a couple Anderlecht games and Tielemans is on a completely different level, Arsenal, Dortmund, Chelsea and others are after him for a while now. Zelalem is actually older than him and plays in the Scottish Championship.

Klaus

I don't think I've ever seen Zelalem control a midfield for that matter. He seems destined to become more of a final third player.

lorddulaarsenal

I think he'll take cazorla's current role if he makes it here

Crowley will be the one to nab a place in our forward area

Clrnc

Anderlecht is churning out some really decent talents, or Belgium for that matter.

lorddulaarsenal

I suppose. For me England and Portugal are producing the best young talents at the mo

mdgoonah41

germany is a cut above. they have a ton of 23 and under talent

lorddulaarsenal

Not as good as England or Portugal

Mirth

France have a lot of good talent coming through as well.

lorddulaarsenal

Rugani or Stones Klaus?

est

Dubious links to Sergi Samper again.

Is he an option in January? Good enough to be a long-term Arteta replacement?

lorddulaarsenal

Yeah I like him a lot. Very clever user of the ball

speedy

8m buy out ? It's a no brainer. Better than dry powder.

Mundo Deportivo said Barcelona scouts were at the Emirates when we played United, mostly to scout Bellerin but possibly Ramsey too. Don't think they'll go for Bellerin this winter but they might try in a year or two, can see him leaving if we don't win a league or two until then

est

Fuck Barcelona!

Bellers has got Arsenal dna. The Weng needs to play Ramsey in the middle though.
