It depends if Eze is our LW, Nwaneri will still get plenty of games as Ode’s understudy. This is not 2003. There are 60 games to be played, everyone will get plenty of chances.

RowJimmy

It seems to me that if this was the plan, it would have been part of the agreement about the contract renewal and announced at the same time. (Not saying it's a bad idea, not sure about that.)

Doc

If we are not going to rotate more then what is the point of having a big squad, he should get plenty of minutes, he is ready to contribute and could have a breakout season... Don't remember many loans deals that have been rally useful.

Meatwad

i'd be trying to become a striker if i was him. don't waste that ball striking ability. all the money is in being a #9, not a #8.

Doc

Meatwad that super tight control would make him a nightmare in the box, question is can he do all the other admin tasks that come with a striker... Maybe in a couple of years.

It’s interesting - we have a few players who you don’t really know how Arteta will utilise them. Merino, Nwaneri, initially Havertz, Rice, Madueke and now Eze

est

He'll do well to learn a thing or two from Eze, but he's still a ridiculous talent himself.

I think it will be good for his development that he isn't in a position where he's one Odegaard injury away from having to be the main creative force in a title challenging team.

Mirth

Absolutely. Nwaneri's got bags of talent but he barely made an impact in the U21s Euros. He's got a while to go before he's someone that features week in, week ou for a title challenging teamt. Eze doesn't block his route to the first team.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

It's quite disappointing to read he made little impact at the Euros.

Klaus

He was 3-4 years younger than most of the other players though.

Qwiss

I don't care about his euros impact. I've watched McAtee enough to know he's not better than Ethan, its basically like judging Pires by his France career.

Big Willie

Qwiss fucking Raymond Dom-on-neck. Mever knew what to put where.

RocktheCasbah

Big Willie yeah, makes you feel sorry for his girlfriend, don't it?

Don Pacifico

Was thinking about it but wonder if with Havertz out, we actually see him get minutes at CF.

flobaba

Interesting thought.

No chance.

Don Pacifico

Thought he had a very mature performance today. Admittedly Leeds were dire but best game I think I've seen from in that role.

Klaus

I liked it a lot too. You lose some of the security with him but against a team like Leeds we have to be able to afford that. Trust the defence to be able to handle a few counters. The upside is a lot more fluid attacking football.

It's a joy to see this lad zip between the banks on the field. I don't know if I've seen a touch this good at Arsenal outside Bergkamp, Henry and Özil.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Klaus I don't know if I've seen a touch this good at Arsenal outside Bergkamp, Henry and Özil.

That fifteen year old's is arguably better!

Don Pacifico

Klaus You lose some of the security with him

Potentially but the work he did when we didn't have the ball was was really impressed me. We know he's a threat when he's got the ball at his feet, when he's running at defenders but to see him cover Odegaard's role in it's totality is what made me feel like he could actually be a serious alternative in that position.

Klaus

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert Maybe, but I'd like to see Dowman do it at the speeds Ethan does before I commit an opinion. I've seen Nwaneri pull off stuff in tight corners that would have broken a normal man's ankles.

Klaus

Don Pacifico He's an intelligent lad. Hard to believe he's only 18.
