He doesnt have the required brains or finishing ability to step up imo and you have to ask yourself where he will actually play in this team as I would assume podolski will be left wing and the ox (or walnut) will be right wing (if we sticking with same formation). For me he is an african feo.....head down and fcuk knows where he is going 
I'd like to think jenkinson will step up cos sagna will be out for a while but I fear that too many fans have already written him off and I think that he will be more aware of that than any of the other players would be (given the fact that he is a Gooner) thus increasing the pressure on the guy and that is not fair considering how little experience he has at this level
I suppose it isnt a far out opinion to suggest that coquelin will be the guy that steps up the most - from the games I have seen him play I would suggest that he is a promising player although he will need game time to make that step up and I would still prefer we buy a proven quality tough DM and have coquelin as back up (selling song in those circumstances would be fine with me
). I think that the fans already have high hopes so him being a good player this season wont be a surprise although that might be unfair on the kid.For me comparing the transformation in kos last season to any of these players is wide of the mark - I thought in the first season that the guy showed enough flashes to suggest that he would be good enough once he adjusted to the pace and physicality of the english game. That he has (imo at least) overtaken tv5 as our most important centre half is a surprise for me though
Personally I would like to see ramsey go on loan to another premier league club (maybe fulham as part of a deal which would see dempsey joining us
). He is another guy that has been written off by many and while he def did struggle last season I would still like to see him go and get regular football elsewhere to see if he can bounce back from his horrific injury
