Reiss Nelson: Time to Shine?

[truth_hurts]

Terrible environment for him to come into this season -our stars haven't been performing consistently, we are in a battle for top 6 and fan expectation is high. Think he needs to be managed properly with cameos and the odd start at home. Clearly talented though.

Think it’s the opposite pal, the fans are already looking forward to watching him play and he’ll be a breath of fresh air after Iwobi and Mkhi last season.

Really hope so; I just think of some of the abuse that Iwobi gets. I hope the fans would be forgiving with Nelson.

Personally, I'd love to see him in our squad next year.

So far one of the few reasons to be excited about the upcoming season, him and our new kit.

Immense talent- penned a new deal before being loaned out, I can only assume Emery gave him first time assurances. It’s always nice watch a lad from the academy with genuine ability get a go.

He has something they don't have right now: end product. Goals.

Don't worry too much about that. The biggest reason why people hate on Iwobi's performances in the wing is because he isn't a winger in the first place.

Nelson, on the other hand, is exactly the type of player that the fans want to see.

Iwobi started copping abuse when his hair turned to ****.

He should’ve been in the Adidas video.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

He should’ve been in the Adidas video.

Probably was in Germany when they filmed it, these are filmed months in advance...

He should’ve been in the Adidas video.

One of the youngsters in the Koscielny scene looked a lot like him. Don't know if they that on purpose or not though.

 

[DanDare]

Think he's one of the only players that will actually get the fans' patience

Emery needs to sort himself out.

This is Arsenal, you play the kids

 

[MutableEarth]

Really looking forward to seeing him in the shirt next season out wide or in the #10. His brand of exciting forward play is so desperately needed in this stale team, along with the cutting edge of his academy peers.

Fraser on the left, Nelson on the right. Cabellos in the middle with Torreira andLacazette as the link-up striker with Aubameyang up front. Think that would be good.

Ofc Tierney at LB for that scottish connection on the left side.

This isn't a thing, we only relied on youth because we were broke post emirates. I prefer us not player youth unless they're Cole, Wilshere or Fabregas level. Sick of these sub-par academy players we churn out year after year.

I have very low expectations for Reiss. As long as he can dribble and doesn't lose the ball every time he gets possession then I'll be happy with him.

Most of the academy players ain't even getting opportunities to play lol.

I think Nelson is talented enough to make it.

The only thing I worry about him is his movement on the ball.

He moves a bit mechanical and not as fluid or agile as he was when he was younger.

Hope he can get stronger, improve his defensive awareness and link up play.

Big things on loan. Emery ain’t playing him.

Seems like Nelson has got the no.24. He has an Instagram story with a picture of some training gear and flip flops with 24 on them.

Nelson #24
Willock #28
Nketiah #30

Smith Rowe and Saka both had academy numbers so they are probably off on loan.

Saka will stay IMO - they don't have to loan him just yet, would be surprised. Saka is probably one of few they'd wanna keep around. Only dubious point is whether he's already above U23 level or not, which you could argue based on last season.

ESR though will probably go back out I think. If they think he won't get much games here then he'll definitely go back out.
