What do you guys think is going to happen with zalalem (spelling). Could he replicate fab and play at 16 or is he likely to go on loan, hopefully to a premier league club

I actually don't want him to go on loan. My reason behind this is because he is so young I think that he will be very impressionable. Sending him to another club so early could completely change his play. So I think Arsenal need to keep hold of him for a few more years in the reserve team and then promote him to the first team whens he's 18/19

Knowing Arsene history for promoting young talent and NOT spending - remember his quote" We make superstars we don't buy them" end quote - do not be surprise to see Gnarby - on the flanks - Zelahelm - in the middle and Miquel - in defence - all promoted to the seniors this season.

I can see Frimpong been sold, along with Chamack and Bentner

Park and Ryo on loan and Gervinho given another chance to prove himself, especially if the move for Higuian OR Suarez dose not come off

Sammy Nelson, the greatest left back

He's quality. Anyone who says otherwise just hasn't seen him play. However, Cesc was exceptional and was surrounded by stars too.

Zelalem is not Cesc, and we are not Arsenal of old. Because of that, I think he should be used sparingly this season and eased in.

He's very good but don't forget he's playing against weaker opposition and just on pre-season. But he defo has bags of potential and already shows some good quality on the ball.

See tbh am sick of this. Am watching the premier league years on tv 07/08 we fell away that year because what happened to Eduardo. Since then am sick of this transfer policy its b*******. Fed up with rumours running around. The past few year we have bought mertesacker, giroud, podolski even gervinho they are average squad players its beyond a joke. Arsene if h love the arsenal love everyone on this site spend the money for top quality

My opinion, he won't trouble the first team with his presence - stop hyping up kids to be our saviours they won't be. Sure he might get the odd meaningless (in Wengers eyes) cup game but that's it. Nor would he be ready to go on loan for a season.

The fact is this is the perfect time to take over, he has a number of young players cooking up. He has a number of young players with a few experienced players in the team. I think he needs to buy players just a couple of major signings, players that will lift the experienced but enhance the young players game, cesc would be perfect but that's not going to happen but that calibre of player is what we need. Buy a captain.
All these rumours and none will happen until afc are back from pre season it's at simple.
Though I would love to think that deals already have been made and there just giving there respective clubs time to replace those we've signed but this is arsenal and its not likely.
