Poor Jeorge. He's actually turned up to this tonight. I'm almost glad I didn't have the time.
Seems like John-Jules didn't rate that performance from Sheaf/Thompson either!I replied to a Jeorge Bird tweet saying that John-Jules should have moved into midfield and Balogun replaced one of the midfielders.
Tyreece John-Jules himself liked the tweet . That's genuinely quite funny
That would be the optimum outcome for me - Eddie will travel anyway but I reckon he might be lucky to see the pitch on Thursday, I just hope he gets a nice little run out in the home leg aswell. Saka and Amaechi defo have momentum and ability to make something happen but Nketiah and Willock have definitely paid their dues too. It's an exciting time and all of them have to be in the picture.In an ideal world we hammer Rennes on Thursday so Saka & Amaechi have a chance of making the squad for the home match but I think I'm being optimistic.
Interest has been high since his return from injury. Arsenal's academy is predictably top heavy in it's distribution of talent so naturally some talents are fighting for the same spots - Bundesliga teams are looking to cash-in and Xavier Amaechi&Emile Smith-Rowe have been high on the list since the Youth Cup run last year. RB Leipzig have been scouting them for a long time and they actually wanted ESR with an option to buy which we flat out refused I believe. Amaechi, on the other hand, has been followed by both Leipzig and Dortmund. Dortmund I can imagine, are keen to stock up in case they decide to cash in on the jewel that is Jadon Sancho. Amaechi - super fast, versatile dribbler, regular chance creator and two-footed finisher - seems perfect on paper.@MutableEarth what's your opinion on the interest in Amaechi from Bayern and other teams? Can we keep him or do you think he might be tempted to go somewhere else?
