No he's not. He adds nothing in that case either.

and there was more than one game where bringing him on immediately improved our midfield

No there wasn't.

Yes, he does, he stays back, is safe in possession and offers work rate.

Well after last nights shenanigans it looks like he's just been upgraded to best player in Egypt's WC Squad 
The problem is that he often starts.

More a reflection on how **** the rest are.
Noted, but I'd rather see AMN get the starts as he has a higher ceiling.
say yes
forum master baiter
Agree with this 100%. Think what annoys me most about Elneny is that he's getting precious minutes we could be using to develop AMN / Willock.
AMN is already the better player imo. If we want to compete with the top clubs we should be using our limited funds to buy first team quality, not squaddies / backups whose job could (and should) be done by our academy talent.

League is very weak
Think Emery will put the potential and development of AMN above giving minutes to El Neny.
I'll give Elneny his credit though - had some good showings this season that made me think that there's potentially another level there - although I'm not entirely convinced.

@Furious on a roll
Even if y0u rate Elneny, giving the number 4 shirt to a squad player seems a bit odd. Rightly or wrongly, that shirt has so much resonance with Arsenal fans.
Well maybe someone sees him as more than that, because no 4 is a big deal. Cant lie was shocked when I heard it.

Tbh, shirt numbers haven't mattered for a long time at Arsenal. Look at Perez and Podolski, look at Wilshere, no way should they have had the numbers they did.

We need legs with the Europa league campaign. Elneny is much better than Willock

El neny is the perfect squadie, people say he offers nothing are just blind.
His short passing game is excellent, he can make forward passes between the lines and rarely gives the ball away despite bring under a lot of pressure and being pressed.
Also he has a terrific engine! Only thing that's a huge negative point against him is that he seriously lacks any athleticism and strength.

If Emery is planning a pressing system, Elneny will be a big part of it as a squad player. His engine is terrific.

Imagine calling other people blind and then coming up with this drivel:
Terrible posting.

I'll be honest.
Getting Welbeck (No, he's not good enough even as a squad player), Mustafi and getting in better wingers, and a starting midfielder has to be greater priority than getting in a replacement squad player for Elneny.
