CM is Arsenal's preferred position not his, he simply said he prefers it to right-back which isn't his position either.


How anyone can want this kid as a CM is beyond me.

Why not? He has all in his locker to be a very good cm, he is quick, can tackle, good passing game under pressure and so on. In what position do you see him ?

He can't tackle, he isn't strong enough and he gives the ball away in sloppy fashion already.

He's a winger, so I see him as a winger.

He can be a very valuable CM for us. His speed, energy and mobility are what we are missing right now. He's good at ball recoveries and can pass and move forward like a quality player. He needs a little more experience with his positioning, passing, close in ball control and at 20 he can still bulk up a bit.
Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

maybe as a hard working wide man he can make it. \never as a cm at the highest level. He is just way too sloppy and has low football IQ

Not sure why Sims has been pumping this guy, I don't see him in anyway as a solution to CDM.

Elneny is clearly the better player in that role.

Thought he had the tools, was evident after the first leg that he doesn’t have the concentration to play in midfield

This will be the last time he plays there for a long time

He looked better on the wing than he does at CM.

Yeah. For Wenger to take someone off at half time is deep.

Very good talent. If it doesn' t work out as cm then he is able to play another Position like lwb. He had Salah in his pocket, people have short memories

He's very talented, but sadly it looks as though his CM experiment is over.

What is the purpose of Nelson though? Completely faded as the season has gone on.
