General Reserves Talk

Aneke always kills it on my FM 15 saves.

At times I've seen him score close to 20 goals from midfield.

Same. ALWAYS becomes a demonic player.

Wenger's been name dropping Willock a lot lately when referencing midfield options. He's very close to the first team it seems....

By first team, do you mean close to getting actual minutes or close to being involved with the first team?

I think it's just based on his performances for the reserves and his progress in first team training but in terms of getting actual minutes on pitch on a regular basis I think he has a long way to go. He's not physically strong enough yet. Good dribbler though and seems to have a good level of stamina and very high technique. He may get a place on the bench for the FA Cup tie this weekend.

Nah, just close to being involved. Would be surprised if he got minutes.

He's gotten a lot stronger this year, seems to be holding players off with growing ease, good acceleration away from defenders now aswell. He's looking quite strong tactically aswell.

Really hoping Toral is recalled. I have no specific facts though:he had solid appearances scored 4-5 goals, had enough games on loan, yet to me it looks like he could be the most likely to have any sort of impact from our loanees in our crippled midfield.
With Jack, Rosicky, Arteta out for long term, he could provide numbers on bench and potentially replace on already won matches or in Cup games.

Hes getting regular starts so he will probably stay. He will be important to BCFC. He is doing well though, his passing and movement is very, very good.

Unbelievable Jeff with 2 goals as Arsenal beat Blackburn 3-2. The dutch wonderkid Malen with the other goal for Arsenal.

Jeff was subbed at 70 minute.

 

[MutableEarth]

Jeff is on the hunt for minutes on Saturday!

Nice to see him scoring, he needs to be doing more of that. What more can be said about Malen though?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

That we finally found our 40 million pounds striker?

We'll see though. I really like his game. Works channels, links up well, very direct threat and a good finisher.

Just looked at the Bench vs Blackburn... Nelson nowhere to be seen.

Injured? Or maybe we just slowing his development up a bit...

 

[Jasard]

Did Arteta play?

 

[Anders Harbo]

Adelaide with two goals. Really exciting prospect!

I don't think Toral is anywhere near ready for Arsenal and doubt he ever will be.

 

[Sanchez11]

Jeff to start at the weekend?

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Did Arteta play?

Yes, 45 minutes.

 

[albakos]

I don't think Toral is anywhere near ready for Arsenal and doubt he ever will be.

As I said, I didn't watch him lately, but the fact that he's been getting almost regular appearances at Brum who are at a solid position in Championship and he scored 4-5 goals, leads me to hope that he might be given a chance.

When we had to suffer through having all sorts of inferior youngsters starting in our first XI: Miquel, Frimpong, Yennaris, etc.. there should be a chance given to Toral too in next pre-season to prove himself.

Probably back to U18s seeing as we have players back for U21s.
