He's just over 6ft but looked taller. Imagine him in the hole PG.

I thought he looked by far the most talented kid in pre season. He had the ability to create and beat players om his own. At 17 just to come over France and play like he did for the first team was mighty impressive. The other youngster had advantage over him because they know the style we play with while he did alot of his good work on his own.

In the hole ahead of Ozil, Cazorla and Wilshere?
I've just watched some highlights of him and he looked good, but there were other moments in the first half where he wasn't so assured that aren't in the clips.
I think the advantage he has over the likes of Zelalem is that he is already physically ready for the premiership.
I wonder if we could adapt him to become a DM? He's got the physique we need.

Dont think he was most talented. Most aethestically pleasing maybe but not taleneted. We got a bunch of good kids that can really play here in future.They actually all posess skills of their own and its high level flair. Dont have to be skeptical about it.Rene was good but as was Iwobi imo.
Rene's skill was cool. But IWOBI pulled off a much better trick in a tighter space, in a defensive half and displayed solid strength.He elastico'd between two players.

48-50.
We got solid kids coming through.I thought rene was the forward but its the fortune kid that is .Wonder why he didnt feature.

It's hard not to get excited about him after his displays this weekend. Apart from Ramsey, Ozil & Chambo on Saturday, this guy was the standout player over the two days.
My only main issue is where the hell is his best position going to be? He's strong, quick, direct, skilful, has good control and has a decent pass on him. By the looks of it he could play on the wings, AM or even in as a CM.
He's 17 so he still has a long way to go. I'm glad Wenger is not going to loan him out because I think training day in day out with the like of Ozil, Alexis ect will benefit him more at the moment. I'm sure he'll get a few appearances in the Carling cup to.
It's not funny that people are raving him now. It's the first time people have seen him against a major club alongside first team players and he shined straight away.
He seems another one of those players who can play anywhere in the midfield/flanks (apart from as a DM of course) and we seem to be abundant on that front.
