My expectations are to see repeat efforts and head over the ball commitment. He drops off a bit after half time so his fitness base needs to grow which will improve his output.

None

I expect a handful of games at most before he's delisted. With Taranto and Hopper coming in he's no chance of breaking the 22 imo

Agree
Will need a lot of injuries to get a game
We don’t want him playing

Nice we agree on something haha.

Sorry if our other chat got a bit personal, I will try to be more open minded about some of your more contrasting opinions.

The fact that he was Subbed off in 3 games tells the story.

[WilliamPowell]

I can't see him playing many games TBH. So many ahead of him now

If we have no injuries he would need to be doing something spectacular to be playing regularly and sadly just can't see it happening

I actually think being contracted for 2023 probably saved him from being delisted. Wonder if he was made available for trade?

I actually rate him before he got that injury, had a nice run of games, quick hands, and likes the in and under stuff just needs better fitness and stay involved more.

Damo is just fretting because Arsenal are top of the table and it's almost February. 17 years of painful conditioning means he has to release the pressure valve somewhere.

Agree. This is a pretty important year for him tho

Simply needs a new role with so many in front of him for a mid spot.
If they can create new roles for favorites why not some of the strugglers.
Personally i just wish we would recruit draft more hard edged mids around 188/88 size give or take a few of each..
