As I said before on this forum I hate threads like these because the majority of the players being talked about are too young to be written off.
At the age of 17 or 19 how the hell can you tell who will make it and who won't? One player has a few fancy tricks and the next one doesn't so he won't make it, is that it?
It's all bollocks.
Think about your current job, if you were doing it at the age of 18 would you be any good at it? If not should you then give up or go and work for a smaller company?
I didn't even START my current job until I was 22 and at the time I knew absolutely nothing about it whatsoever.
Look at Jay Simpson, when he was 17 he was rubbish, couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo. A couple of loan spells later and he's dynamite, making a huge difference to the team.
At that age players can change dramatically in the space of a single loan spell.
Why write them off now?

I'm struggling to understand this one.
Nordveit has played about 5 games in England for Arsenal, all of which were reserve games. The rest he's played in Germany or other countries on loan so unless you've been stalking him how on earth do you know whether he'll make it at Arsenal or not?
