It took him a few games but you can really see he is ready to push on now. I think his injuries took their toll on him but he looks over that now. You forget sometimes that he only turned 21 a few months ago but hopefully he keeps on progressing now.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Had a brilliant game yesterday against hardened opponents. What a talent.
Can't understand why Bellerin didn't get a chance in the last few weeks. Chambers is a great player and will become a brilliant CB but he doesn't have the pace to play wide. Meanwhile Monreal plays at CB and doesn't look like he has a clue what to do. Bellerin was brilliant in the Emirates Cup. It all fits, the way I see it. Instead, Wenger decided to do the same stupid thing 5 times and wait for it to start working, somehow.
He probably didn't want to have two 19 year olds in defence playing next to each other.
Chambers as DM...a option???
I don't think he's experienced enough for that yet but it could work.
Don't think so, although he can't do much worse than Flamini to be fair. Chambers should be played at CB.
Not doing well at PSG at all, fans don't especially like him and he's not getting much of a look in. Shame, cos he's a good player, so wouldn't surprise me if he's loaned out/sold.
Really like Krychowiak but I'd be surprised if he left Sevilla so soon after arriving there.
Really like Krychowiak but I'd be surprised if he left Sevilla so soon after arriving there.
I don't know why our scouts didn't make a move for Krychowiak in the summer, surely with him being in good form in France he would have been spotted by our scouts. Like you say I am not so sure we would be able to sign him unless we make a very big offer. He has been in sparkling form for Sevilla though.
It did seem like a typical Arsenal move, good season in a bit of a second rate Ligue 1 team. The problem was that he actually addressed one of your needs, so I guess the scouts wrote him off.
Ya, if you look closely Shaw is actually offside.
Only one of our new signings wouldn't be a guaranteed starter for Arsenal.
Shaw wouldn't, Herrera wouldn't, Rojo wouldn't and that Blind would says more about their lack of options.
Whilst we're on the subject from the entire Liverpool squad I'd take Sterling and from the entire Arsenal squad I'd take Sanchez and Oxlade Chamberlain. That would probably be it.
What about Mertesacker/Koscielny?
Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil...
and wellbeck
We've better attacking players than Ramsey and Ozil, in fact Ozil has done nothing to note.
Yes, maybe, no way.
Shaw definitely would, Herrera would, Rojo probably not and Blind is an excellent defensive midfielder.
Better CMs than Ramsey and Wilshere? Ozil is some no-mark? You been on the Xmas sherry early doors?
Gibbs isn't any worse than Shaw, Herrera isn't better than Arsenal's midfielders, Rojo definitely not and Blind is good. Javi Martinez is excellent. Blind is a good, solid midfielder.
Who in our final third would Ozil displace?
Cant honestly say any of those would get in. They'd be replacing Rooney, Mata and Di Maria I imagine.
Ramsay would get in because he is better than Fellaini and Herrera. The other two wouldn't, Ozil hasn't done much more than Di Maria so far despite the extra season and he's also the reason that Arsenal didn't go for Fabregas thus handing the title to Chelsea.
Shaw is miles better than Gibbs defensively and going forward. He's been one our best performing signings yet I still see he's still being criticized by some people for no reason expect because he was bought for a lot of money? Herrera is currently better than Wilshere and Arteta, brilliant midfielder.
Not a chance herrera would get into our midfield
I'd take Ramsey in the middle over Fellaini/Herrera any day of the week. The other two, nah.
I rate Shaw and haven't criticised him once. There's not much between the two left backs and Shaw is certainly not better going forward.
Again, Herrera isn't brilliant and he's not much better than Wilshere. Herrera and Arteta wouldn't be competing for the same role in midfield anyway, they're completely different players. He would be competing with Ramsey. The "brilliant" Herrera is struggling to get into van Gaal's team.
Ramsey's been shit this season, Wilshere is never fit.
True enough, I kind of assume every arsenal player is a number 10 but he seems to play better coming from deep so it'd be herrera not mata he'd replace.
Wilshere is bang average in my opinion and I would take Herrera over him any day. Yeah Herrera does struggle to get in our team despite being very good 
My joint team would be:
Wait ... this is the Liverpool thread. Everybody feck off to the Arsenal one.
So, to continue our discussion from the Liverpool thread, although Ramsey hasn't set the world alight this season I'd still take him over Fellaini or Herrera.
My joint team would be:
My joint team would be:
He can't even get into your team ahead of Elbows.
Ship has sailed, absolute crock, lazy shite.
Elbows this season would get into your midfield as well.
Edit: cheers to whoever moved this post into right thread, sorry for posting it in the wrong one, mixed my tabs.
I haven't seen a lot of Wilshere or Arteta this season that suggests they'd be starters ahead of Fellaini. He's a different player from last season.
