Lansbury just lacked a yard of pace if I remember correctly. He has enough about him to make it at a mid table premier league side imo.

Between Gnabry, Eisfeld, Crowley and Zelalem I'm really excited we've got some genuine quality working their way to the senior team. I really hope they get to fulfill their potential with us.

Speaking of Fran Merida, he's now playing for a newly promoted team over in Brazil. That move to Atletico Madrid didn't work out, he went on loan somewhere and they let him go in the end, I think. I wonder if he wishes he'd stayed at Arsenal.
Haven't seen anything of Crowley but agree the others are certainly exciting prospects at their age, any chance we can train on a few decent defenders as well as attacking midfielders ?

Watched the highlights of the Peterborough Utd v Young gunners recently on the Pravda sight and even though these things are heavily edited it was a win and he was involved in everything that was good. No wonder Villa were f**ked off to see him go. Managed right this is a genuine talent.

As far as defenders are concerned, we could do a lot worse than getting Dan Burn off Fulham, he looks pretty decent and still quite young.
I've just watched the Peterborough game and Crowley was mightily impressive, his ability to find space in a tight situation and the weight of his passing was fantastic, he layed on 4 goals and scored 2 himself - definitely a touch of the Fabregas about him in my humble opinion. He also wants to be continuously involved like Cesc did (whereas Jack is involved in fits and starts)
