Hello everyone, just wondering what people's view are on Lewis Smelly. Personally I thought he was poor Thursday night. don't know if he needs to be loaned out somewhere or sold on.

He showed last season that he has great potential. I think maybe a loan in the summer, as I think we need all the players we can get at the moment with the injuries we keep getting.

Theres a lot of potential in the young man, but it's fairly obvious why we are still in the market for a LB.

Not convinced at all, far too error prone and too easy to get past. That LH Side is wide open whenever he's on the pitch.

Are we in the market SW? Calafiori and Hincapie both play there. MLS is a young lad who has shown his youth and his potential in equal measure. He's an excellent player and just needs more experience, which he is getting.

Strange one MLS, after last season, he looked really good and never saw Cala replacing him at start of this season.

But this season, in his minimal minutes, Skelly has looked way off it. Whether it is lack of minutes and his confidence or what, but currently without injuries he shouldn't be starting any games.

As far as I can tell we've never been out of the LB market under Arteta, Wire.
But yeah, what I've heard is Cala's injuries and MLS's age/form have us interested again.

LB, LW and ST seem the most obvious positions for upgrade, though I'm excited to see how Kai can fit into this team!

Fair enough mate, I just can't imagine we will dip into the market. If MLS was really playing poorly (I think he'll get better when he gets more chances) then Timber would be the natural fit on LB as 4th choice.

Agreed, must admit that I didn't think we'd miss Havertz all that much, but I really appreciate what he brings now that Gyokeres has led the line for us. Kai's touch and vision really is very good for a forward.

Bit late to the party about MLS but I've read Arteta is thinking of trying him in midfield. I reckon he would do well there as an AM. Once we have a suitable backup for Califiori of course.

"Arteta plays left-sided midfielder in midfield" would certainly by a shocking headline, Sally!
