    He has done well wherever he goes on loan and has been on loan in three different countries. He had a great World Cup too.

    But he hasn't had much of a chance with us yet. He has made a couple of appearances but not shown much so far.

    I thought he actually played pretty well in the league cup but I know others disagree. He is still a raw talent but he looked pacey and strong and had a couple of nice touches.

    Do you think he'll get many opportunities this season? Will he just be used for cup games? Or can you see him forcing his way regularly into the match day 18?

    I think he will be rotated into a few domestic cup games and perhaps get a short run of prem games at the end of the season when we are 13 points clear with 3 games to play :)

    I didn't think he played badly in the League Cup, I just thought he was pretty anonymous. There's been a hype developing around him for quite some time now so it's a little disappointing that he hasn't kicked on. Maybe we'll see him in the FA cup.

    He is probably going to go out on loan in Janaury. I can only assume that he must dreadful in training or something, because one thing we can't accuse Wenger of is not giving talented young players a chance.'

    I'm sure a mid table PL side would jump at the chance to take him on loan. Send him somewhere like southampton, they've always been good at developing younger players.

    He won't get in their team.
