Eze on loan anyone?

[DenTyler]

Artwatta will 'train the Grealish' out of him, just like his baldy mentor at City.

And look how that turned out for poor old Jack. I learned many many years ago that wanting something is far better than actually having it… 99% of the time.

I can say with utter conviction that winning the FA cup was so much better than I thought it would be.

Back to Ebs. You can’t blame the boy for wanting to go to his boyhood club, Shearer can be a bell end but you can’t argue that he let his heart rule his head when he went to Newcastle and stayed when he could have gone to that United team. Something to be said for that. But Ebs is not shearer. As others have said, he was a luxury that our team put up with because like the FA cup winning goal he had special moments. He was always the lesser of the 2 out to him and olise and he really struggled to find any sort of form and rhythm until Sarr got going and took away defenders like Olise used to do.

At Arsenal, they just wont put up with a player that coasts 3 out 4 games. Too much at stake for them and they have too many options. Ebs will stick it out this season but by Xmas next year he will be angling for a move, likely abroad and then be back.

Crikey - now two other Eze threads ongoing on Palace and Football Talk.

He got into the england squad playing every week for us. He may not be on the plane being on the bench every week at arsenal. He's not even being subbed on lately.

A typical, the grass isn't greener elsewhere story, which Guehi, Mateta and Wharton should take heed of. Move to a big club with a big squad and find yourself warming the bench as your career passes you by.

Answer: "...Only in your dreams" (M.Arteta) 😉

What an absolute waste of a player. 5th game running as far as I know without kicking a ball. If he ends up missing the World Cup (which he will) then I hope he still thinks walking out at emirates in his arsenal shirt and jeans was worth it.

As was said, Wilf tried but the grass isn’t always greener, sometimes it’s a muddy cow s*** covered field.

Got 20 minutes, touched the ball twice, looked totally lost. Waste of a special talent.

Can't stand Arsenal to such an extent I'd almost prefer Brighton to win the league.
My least favourite manager in the perpetually angry Arteta and my least favourite player in the cheating Gabriel.

Such an entitled club where even the substitutes for the substitutes are internationals costing many millions.

A club that will potentially harm Eze's career although there may be some on here who will have little sympathy and say he's made his bed and has to lie in it.
He was given a few minutes tonight ( the first for a few games ) but not enough time to have any impact.

I don't see Eze displacing Odegard, Rice, Saka, Zubimendi , and there has to be a doubt about him getting into world cup squad if he doesn't get much game time.

I guess the big problem is the Manager or DOF will say - "Son, your a big part of our future plans", indicating that a position in or around the starting line up on a regular basis is virtually guaranteed, once they have signed then they find that things aren't as "cut & dried", management change, plans change, other players return from injury or maybe they pick up a knock in training & then they are just in the queue behind everyone else.
