Hey. I was wondering if anyone knew about potential loan moves. We have a few players that are at that point where they need to try and make the step up now. In particular: iwobi, adelaide, chambers, beilik, zelalem and gnabry. and then there are a few players that look set to have an exciting future such as dragomir, sheaf, malen and maitland-niles.

I really think we have a decent team now but also for the next few years and if we were to add a serious striker (i really like the idea of sturidge) then we would have to be considered title contenders.

I don't have any 'inside' knowledge, but from what I've read/ listened to and a bit of common sense, I think as far as loans go;

We know chambers is available for loan, Wenger himself said it on Saturday.

Gnabry has a future at Arsenal according to Arsene (I think the lads quality personally, just unlucky with injury last season) but may not play much this season with Theo, Oxlade, Iwobi, Alexis and even Lucas who can all potentially play right and left.
Schalke want him apparently and their sporting director said today he believes 'every club in Germany apart from Bayern would like Gnabry' which is praise indeed!

Debuchy could leave on loan or permanently.
We'd be short at Rb I think if we let him leave, but we do have Mustafi, Holding, Chambers (if he stays) and even at a stretch Coquelin who can play RB is Bellerin is injured.

Jeff is officially a first team player now, so he will most likely go on loan somewhere.

The others you mention are all u21's so I'd imagine they'll stay and train with the youth teams unless someone actively comes in for them, which is lilkely, considering how well some of them are coming along, like Zelalem, Bielik and Willock, who may benefit from playing somewhere else instead of learning in the u21's!

Yeah i was thinking pretty much along the same lines. I do think a few of them could be doing a job for top end championship or lower end prem teams.
