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

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.

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.


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.

Maybe. but I do think most of our young kids are overrated and for this guy to come at 17 from france and shine over them straight away speks for itself. Also from reports he has been very impressive in training which is why he got chance in the first team. the fact that crowley and zelalem didnt get a minute and he played both match says alot

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.


I know that, it wasn't a dig or anything I just meant that it's football thats a funny old game.

To be fair, Iwobi should look better. Not only is he older but he's been in our system and training with the first team for years. Still, I liked what I saw from Adelaide though he looks much better when positioned centrally. Outside of making De Bruyne look stupid, he didn't do a whole lot on the wing but when he got into the middle, he was driving forward and making well placed passes.

Dont get me wrong, i was really impressed with Iwobi too, its just that Adelaide looked so silky at times over the 2 games. Hes 17 ffs and already shown more technical ability in 180 minutes than 80% of the England team

I think Iwobi offers us something we need right now and that's trickiness on the wing and a nose for the goal. Adelaide is one for the future but I don't expect him to make a real impact for the next 3 years given who's in front of him in his best positions.

6ft, damn thats rare for a winger, even more rare for an AM if thats his natural position.

Pace, skill, vision, composure, physique... he's got all the tools. And you know Arsene - if he can't buy one he'll make one.
