I hate over hyping youngters but that lads seems to have it all. He's awesome. And Ramsey looks special too.
I'm quite excited about Adebayor and Van Persie partnership, as long as Van Persie stays fit.
And Nasri looked good yesterday too.
Eboue hasn't changed I see.
And Diaby is nearly the new Vieira. My favourite player atm.

Yeah, but they both have looked good against Juve and Real Madrid. That gives me confidence, and belief they may be ready.

They were pre season friendlies.
Throw them in any Prem game, or play them in the CL against the same to clubs, and it'll show you just how not ready they are!!

The thing is Wenger has a great record of bringing kids through, and he will do it again no doubt, but seems that any kid that even shows a small amount of skill is suddenly hyped into this next big thing.
Its not even fans that I have a problem with, as you lot are bound to get excited as any other set of fans do about their kids, its the commentators and other media that gets me when they do it!!

I agree with Cosmotron (again  ) Juve would not play like that had the game meant something!
Take Del Piero's clumsy back pass against Hamburg as a prime example!

I completley agree. Its unfair on the players too as it puts so much pressure on.
But iIhave been watching Wilshere in the Reserves for a while too, so my opinion isn't just due to the friendlys etc.

Not really. Pulled up and asked to come off, but still ran about for 4 or 5 mins whilst a sub warmed up. Will be a slight strain but nothing too bad.
