To be fair, his last game that I remember seeing at that level (was against Southampton I think), he had a stormer, particularly in the second half he was dribbling rings around people. I remember because I think @Aevius compared him to Griezmann. I thought he was just having a great game, but he started to show that side of his game quite regularly in the little time he had at Charlton. He must be very highly rated.
I dunno it's a bit like putting all those 17 year-olds in the trenches in WW1 isn't it?
Yeah, Mavididi kind of gives me a Griezmann vibe, especially after the switch to CAM he made for the U21s. Like Antoine, he's shown to have a pretty complete skillset for a striker and some good pace, and he looks recently like he's really growing physically which should make him even better (as an individual, not compared to Griezmann). I really hope he gets some games next season, I'd love to get a young goalscorer in our side. Iwobi is the closest thing we've had to that in a while, but he's more of a playmaker.
We won that ****ing war didn't we?
It's really a disappointing season for Jeff. We don't see what happens in training, maybe he improved a lot but the few times he played for out youth teams or in FA Cup, I saw no sign of major improvement.
Complete silence unfortunately.
. Like the look of Tyreece John-Jules. Seems like he's the next number 9 for the U18s. They've experimented with Coyle there but I think Coyle will play as number 10 once Joe Willock begins to make the step up to U23s (or.......you know, he - and Chris - both leave).
Sheaf has great distribution, probably the best of the young CBs at the club. Seems to be enjoying playing there.
Are you including any of Bielik, Chambers, and Holding when saying that?
I'll say he's the best amongst all the cb in the whole arsenal team. You gotta remember he was a deep-lying playmaker before he was moved to cb.
I'd go as far as to say that, yes. @legendhenry_14 pretty much said what I was going to say - owing from Sheaf's time as a central midfielder, the most noticeable trait of his is that he has a very expansive passing range, it's one of his major strengths. I thought at first that he would have a future in midfield (he still might, depending on what happens). Sheaf's a very technical talent who I didn't expect to look as good at CB as he has. He does have a slight problem in that this development comes at a time when we have defenders who are very similar to him - tall, composed and technically capable. Luckily, he is quite versatile - full/wing back, midfield, CB, out-wide.
