Ethan Nwaneri: New Nwan-era?

[drippin]

I really do not understand why we gave him his debut at 15 years old and now he is nowhere to be found or close to the first team.

He is sometimes training with the 1st team though. Arsenal's first team training is intense, so it's actually pretty good for development at this point, when their bodies are not yet fully developed and they still have under 1000 minutes at U21 level at 16 years old.

I think he needs to learn a bit more of how fast and tough more fully developed players play, without getting any bad injuries.

I have no idea why he extended his contract but i want to tell him this:

Leave as fast as you can, sweet prince.

Can’t imagine you calling someone sweet prince

Nwaneri needs all the nice compliments he can get. He must hate his current situation, the poor lad.

He was on the bench tonight, not that bad for his age...

Some kid barely a year older than him smashed PSG away yet we can’t even give him 10 mins.

 

[Entropics]

Se queda on the bench under this regime

If he is good enough, he will make it sooner or later. Either with us, or somewhere else. Last group game will be e good chance to get some minutes. But yes, I agree that is taking too long to give him his second first team apearence.

 

[grange]

Should've played for at least a half hour today.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

You got to wonder if a loan would be in the offing.

 

[Sammy1887]

Both lads looked dejected and should be extremely pissed. You won't get minutes under this coach.

People need to remember the guy not even 17 so training with first team is already big experience for him. Arteta also serious guy maybe manager like Wenger would give these guys more minutes earlier

He won't get consistent minutes until 18 and he also continues developing

Would've been nice to see him get a run out in the 2nd half but I wasn't expecting it. What's he played a minute of first team football for us?

You look at someone like Saka though and he made his debut in the Europa groups and never looked back. Maybe Nwaneri would be the same?

Then why is he on the bench? Why not let him play with the u19 earlier today? Milan is giving 15 year old minutes. If you making the bench surely you are good enough to get minutes in dead game? No excuse for that

Ah, man... Old Kanye was so good, too bad new Kanye has been, well........

I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that
I think I was made for that

He's not 17 for another 4 months and you think he hates life and must want to leave because he's not getting minutes in the Champions League? He's already playing 2 years above his age group FFS

That 15 year old at MIlan is both more physically developed and has torn up youth football more than anyone our club has ever produced.
