Seem like another Afobe/JET not good enough to make the final cut but will establish himself in a lower team.

Very good start against Sunderland in a high visibility position. Kept calm, distributed the ball, used bursts of speed when needed. Looks very comfortable at this level. Really like him.

Mods: can we please more him out of the reserve forum and into the first team forum? Thanks.

can't decide what his position is though tbh, thought he was always touted as a forward, has come on generally on the flanks but yesterday looked fairly creative minded.

one of PG's favourite imo.

Except Wright, Anelka, Giroud and Adebayor, Wenger doesn't really like to distinguish his forwards. van Persie was nine and half. Henry was a winger-CF hybrid. Alexis and Theo are wide forwards.

Iwobi might be in the same plane.

When he has a limited ST they play CF and only CF. When they have any ounce of skill or vision they get moved around like all the ones you mentioned.

Very composed and sharp- doesn't dawdle with the ball at all

Got a nice turn of pace on him. He looked very comfortable though noticeably tired in the second half. Could see him being played wide or through the center.

Okocha was one of my favorite players growing up. Those mazy dribbles of his were to die for.
