One of the midfield 3. He's very much capable of playing as an #8 in that system (advanced or otherwise). I'd argue it's where he will end up long-term.Where will he be competing. Artetas formation is 4 3 3. Where does he fit in.

I'll bet on him ending up behind the striker. The way he likes to run with the ball won't go well in the Premier League if he plays as an #8, it's too risky and it painfully reminds me of all the injuries that happened to Wilshere.One of the midfield 3.

He’ll be competing with other AMs at 8/10/wing depending on the system. Ceballos/Partey/Xhaka will be competing for the deeper positions in midfield.Where will he be competing. Artetas formation is 4 3 3. Where does he fit in.

He’ll start off on the wing and then come inside while in possession as the fullback overlaps, just like Foden does for City. I’m pretty sure that he’s played as a winger before alsoI dont think he will get many opportunities here next season. He isnt a winger so he wont play there. So hes competing for an AM spot.
That's weird considering that our only AM is Özil and he barely plays. If Arteta decides to play that way, ESR could be a regular starter next season.I dont think he will get many opportunities here next season. He isnt a winger so he wont play there. So hes competing for an AM spot.
His game is much more matured than any of the youngsters with the exception of Saka. You don't see silly mistakes in his game like you would see it with Willock and he is not afraid to play like Nelson is.Lol he’s not getting that much minutes, Willock and Nelson are a bit more advanced in their development than him and they are bit part players.
I can’t see us changing our whole formation and pinning our hopes on him to pull strings in a number 10 position he’s just not that kind of talent. There’s no reason to start him out wide as we have Auba, Saka, Pepe & Nelson.
If Özil was a thing then yeah he would be a shoe in for understudy but as of today we don’t. Could change depending on summer transfers though ofcourse. Loan would be best for him he would be just making cameos otherwise, unless he dominates games he gets the odd minutes in and let’s be honest - he won’t. Yet.

We also need to consider availability within the first team. There is an open position for Özil's replacement within next year, just enough time for him to get one more loan or some sub appearances/cup games at Arsenal.
Looking forward, I would expect Xhaka to be replaced internally with Azeez or Willock who would both play as an #8, depending on how their development ends up, and ESR's ability to score, create and run with the ball will probably be more useful if he can play with more freedom.
I do understand why you want him there, but I'm not so sure about his "engine" and would rather see him being fresh to make those bursts with the ball than doing all the grunt work that is required from an #8.
Both Willock and Saka got 25+ games so what makes you think that ESR can't do the same?Theres nothing weird about thinking a 19/20 year old who has 0 experience in the the PL is going to struggle to get games.
Pair that with Artetas idea to play 4 3 3 and his apparent interest in keeping Ceballos and maybe signing another player for midfield.
People see our kids doing well in the championship and think they are ready to tear it up in the PL.
The difference is night and day. A dozen good games for Huddersfield doesnt mean he will get 25+ appearances here.
Yeah, you're right, Wilshere did play like that and ESR runs a bit different with the ball. His injuries so far were muscular if I'm correctWhat reminds you of Wilshere exactly? Wilshere had small man syndrome, he was an idiot who tried to turn duels into 50 50s when the ball wasn't even there to be won.
He also kept the ball on the edge of his reach, Smith Rowe keeps it much closer. Wilshere left the ball there for you to think you could get it and then touched it at the last moment, basically drawing the whole contact and leaving him in the worst position while the defender is fully protected. ESR keeps it much closer.
I do agree he needs to release it earlier, but that's coaching. One flaw he needs to iron out is that when he is on the right hand side he dribbles infield showing the ball to the opponent, if they are quicker than him they can take it. He is incredibly one footed.
Nah, he’s been here with the rest when they were all getting minutes here and there before his loan. He used to come on and do nothing. Emile actually stood out to me because of how unremarkable he was.His game is much more matured than any of the youngsters with the exception of Saka. You don't see silly mistakes in his game like you would see it with Willock and he is not afraid to play like Nelson is.
Eventually, we will change formation once we get a bit more quality, and he can provide some depth for a couple of positions already.
I honestly can't see any logical explanation for him going out on loan while we keep Willock and Nelson at the club, he is much better than they are

I'm not convinced honestly, I just can't see how their game is more developed than his.Willock, Nelson and Eddie are definitely more advanced in their development and able to contribute a lot more at this level compared to Emile.
I’m not talking about talent btw, but he definitely needs another loan I think.
Like said I wasn’t necessarily talking about talent. The others can impose themselves in games at prem level and are just further ahead in their development @SingmeasongSong.I’m not talking about talent btw, but he definitely needs another loan I think.
Sure I want him to play more. Only reason I mentioned Leeds is that if he gets to play, at least when he returns to Arsenal, the high press is already ingrained in him.They didn't ruin him but I'd still rather he played a lot more than he did. Would probably have been more beneficial, but he still came back better so I have no real complaints. I think while the style of football is important, it's much more important that he plays regularly - that's the entire reason we're sending him on loan.
Looking at Leeds, I'm not sure there's a need for ESR there at the moment.
