Welcome and good luck KB.
6'2" and 12 1/2 stone. more Diaby than Matic
best of luck to him though - with proper coaching he could make it.
personally i think small,stocky and quick is better for a DM - Davids, Makele, etc
Arsenal have completed the signing of 17-year-old midfielder Krystian Bielik from Legia Warsaw for an undisclosed fee.
Bielik made his senior debut for the Polish club in August aged 16. He went on to feature five times for Legia in the league and once in the Europa League.
The versatile Poland youth international can play in both holding midfield and at centre-back.
The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
A 17 year old that has played 6 first team games........

Granted but personally I dont want to hear about any more youth signings - in the recent past we have made many great potential youth signings only for them to disappear from sight altogether, so I will start taking an interest in this guy when he starts hitting the first team I'm not meh about signing him but nor do I want to see the club or fans make a premature fuss about it

Normally you would hold up a shirt showing your name and squad number.. Obviously it is important to get the best young talent into the club but we also have to live in the moment not the future.
Just what we need! Another 17 year old who Wenger will talk up as the next as the next big thing, then sell off at about 20, just like Lansbury, Eisfeld, Larrson, et al!
What's he supposed to do? Say 'we've signed a shit 17 year old' of course he's going to build a player up. Seriously some people criticise fecking everything.

Now tearing it up in the same team as another of our erstwhile tyros, JET, at Bristol City.
