In my opinion they will be squad games and few players will be asked to play Thursday and Sunday, but obviously Dick will need to make sure his passport is up to date.
A good chance for the likes of Elneny and Holding to stake a claim for premier games.

Great news to hear that Reiss nelson has signed a long term contract before heading to hoffenheim on loan.
I have no doubt he will improve as a player during that loan spell because he will be trained by one of the brightest young coaches in europe.

Agree, if he gets good game time.

It's got to be better than playing against other young players in the under 21s where with the greatest respect there is a very little to be learned at that level.
I'd like to see a lot more young English players who can't currently get into there clubs match day 18 go out on loan abroad for a couple of seasons and learn something a little different playing against 1st team players in other countries.
If your still playing under 21 football at 19 or 20 chances are your not going to make it in top level football.

There’s plenty if not more to be learnt at that level! It’s where the foundations are laid. Maybe you meant nothing more to be learned. And a step up is to be made, infact he will have champions league experience with Hoffenheim.

Yeah sorry that is what I meant to say mate :- (, but once you get to 18 19 or 20 at under 21 football you are simply repeating the same old stuff against similar standard players who can't make their clubs first team squads either, to improve and make the grade you've got to up the anti all the time until you crack the first team.
A much over used sales slogan that's used to try milk more and more out of people is " if your not going forward your going backwards because those around you will be moving forward while your standing still " but I think when your a young footballer it's probably quite true because it's a very very competitive business.
It's tougher than ever to make it in today's premier league because clubs search the world over for young talent apposed to 20 years ago when few youth teams had overseas players on thier books and it's so easy to get left behind.

v Cardiff, interesting to see how Emery deals with:
Torreira - Will he start him?
Ozil - Now he is over his 'illness', will he start him?
Lacazette - Will he play Aubameyang wide left in order to accommodate him?
The keeper and defence appear settled. Mkhitaryan seems to be a permanent starter, as does Aubameyang. So there are really only 3ish starting places up for grabs.

It is interesting to see who Dick starts each week and how they perform in his system plus it's going to be interesting to see how Dick deals with non performers.
So far Xhaka has 3 starts and 30 minutes of acceptable football under his belt, will Dick like Arsene accept Xhaka invisibility at best and liability at worst indefinitely? Will Leno ever get the chance to win the keepers shirt? Will Mesut come good? Will Ramsey be offloaded in January if he can't win a place with consistently good performances?
Answers to all these exciting questions and more coming to a football match near you soon.
