Norwich are about to lined up a bid for lansbury i hope it is true but it is the sun so it might not be if not loved to get him on loan, does he want to stay at Arsenal?
I think he's got potential to push for a first team place, especially in the CC and FA cup. A very good player in my opinion - and scoring against the Spuds to dump them out of the CC cemented his place in Arsenal folklore
Would expect Wenger to give him a chance in pre-season to prove his worth. May happen, but I would expect it to happen late in the transfer window if it does. Rumours are Henri won't be going on Arsenals Asian tour, but this is not due to him being on his way out. He is being given time off following the Euro-21s, and will join the squad for the Emirates cup and other friendlies.
That said, he'd do well at Norwich, so it might be better for him to go there. I think £2m is a bit of an undervaluation though. We're getting a reputation for selling players on the cheap.
Lansbury is reaching that tipping point, nearly 21, does he stay and battle for a first team place at the big club or go for a more cemented role in the smaller club I'd have him back in a heartbeat, but it's in arsenals and henris court.
I don't see the link, to be fair. Ramsey and Wilshere are already ahead of Denilson, Coquelin, Frimpong, Ozyakup, JET, Henderson not far away from the first team squad. It isn't a straight choice between Denilson and Lansbury, there are many others around the club already.
Well, Ozyakup, JET and Henderson are not first team material yet. Lansbury could quite easily take over Denilson's roles last season, apart from the defensive ones (Coq/Frim). You can see the link and it's a strong one.
Ozyakup is part of the squad for the Asia tour, one of few youngsters. He is being fast-tracked to the first team squad. Wenger fought hard to keep him at the club, and you will be surprised by him. Henderson is already very much in Wengers thoughts, JET is either going to be part of the squad or will leave. Point is, Denilson going has no effect on Lansbury. Henri is in a group of players who could very well be part of the squad this season, but it is a group with a fair few candidates for limited places.
I do find Ozyakup surprising actually. I was under the impression that he was always in the shadow of players such as Wilshere, Aneke, Merida and so forth. He is talented, but I didn't think he was that highly rated.
He is a bit younger than Merida, so was never really in competition. Wilshere is a special talent, so unsurprising Ozzy is in his shadow. Aneke is more of an attacking midfielder, but had a dissapointing season without JET and Afobe to play alongside. Ozyakup was arguably the most consistant player in the reserves, and one of (if not the) players of the season for the reserves. The likelihood is Oguzhan will go out on loan next season, possibly to Holland. But Wenger is having a close look at him in pre-season before any decision is made.
I hope you're right. After all, more talent is desirable. I meant that there were always higher rated players around him, even if they were in the age group above. I mean you look at our youth midfielders and say Wilshere, Ramsey, Aneke, Bunjaku, Toral and Jebb as the stand-out talents. Still, Ozyakup is known for having a good head on his shoulders.
Ozyakup isn't really a headline maker. More of a solid, consistant performer. Players like Aneke and Bunjaku will have a hard time transferring their talent to the first team, whereas Ozyakups attributes suit the step up moreso.
I do think that Bunjaku has the eye for the pass that Ramsey and Fabregas have. I am looking forward to him develop. I had always labelled Ozyakup as a slightly flair player to be honest, not a consistent one. Mind you, those two aren't mutually exclusive.
I recon it will be a loan for the year. Best he play premier league football i suppose. Dont think wenger will let him go.
