Pilko Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 major, major leap to think someone will come in for him this soon like...he's literally only performed in 2 games, in fact not even 2 full games i rate the kid but it's way too early even for us to peddle him i reckon Phil Jones went to Man U for like £16m after about 20 games for Blackburn, and Smalling was bought after 10 games for Maidstone and like 4 for Fulham. If the big teams are convinced he's good enough, there'll be bids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Feel like I can't get too excited about him, as that will mean I will get attached to him as I am resigning myself to the fact that if he does get anywhere near to fulfilling his potential we won't have him for too long.

He's also 21, Aarons is 18 - not many 18 year olds show this much potential. If he keeps this up between now and January then there will be offers, it's been seen many times before when a young English player shows this much raw ability.

Kanj Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Love how raw he is. Yep, i know people draw comparisons to Sterling based on "raw, young" (and skin color) but what I like is he brings pure unpredictability and pace - stronger than he looks too.

steve_69 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 He's 100% the kind of player Wenger likes to buy and buy early on in their career. I hate that we're talking about selling him already but we're owned by the world's biggest car boot salesman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Would be interesting to hear from the regular reserves and youth match attenders if this lad ever looked like he could be the real deal before the last year or so? I don't remember hearing/reading much hype about him. He must have come on leaps and bounds, or was he just our best kept secret and a real gem in the youth setup? Alternatively, could he be on a huge purple patch? If he keeps this kind of form up he will sadly be too good for us (as in a salable asset) before long.

Unbelievable Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Me and Brett said it on here a while back I think, we'd seen him a couple of games and you could tell imo. Soon as well when we went to the cup match. Just had a quick search in the reserves and youth thread, but he hardly got a mention before 2014. Seems like Brett, Cajun ( :'() and you were among the early admirers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Knew he'd be great the minute I saw him in pre season, didn't think Pardew would use him though considering his history with kids. Suppose he's had no choice though, it's hard to get excited though as he'll probably leave before long. Would get really excited about him, Perez and Cabella under a different manager. Oh well.

Unbelievable Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Is he two footed by the way? Is right footed finish was very assured yesterday if not. Could he be useful from the right wing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The fact that he was playing LW yet found himself on the right hand side is a miracle. Gouffran has never gone across the penalty spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very valid to question whether the kid has just hit a streak of form. But I think when you watch him you see something a little more than that, It's not just on the odd occasion in games that he seems to shine, it seems like every time he gets involved in the attacking third something happens. The goal in the game on wednesday sums up for me why I think he has a special talent.Taylor wins the ball well, but Aarons still has a hell of a lot to do, first he has the football intelligence to realise that there could be something on for him here, he reacts so so quickly, he's actually behind both the centre back and full back when the ball breaks free. Once he gets to the ball his first touch is perfectly weighted to ensure he stays ahead of the CB but doesn't run the ball out of play, then finally he strikes the ball with his right foot (which I presume is his weaker one) low and hard and through the keepers legs. In that goal he showed he has a football brain, he's not reliant solely on his speed he has great reactions too, has a great touch and is calm and calculated in his finishing. He got a lot of things right in one goal there, a form player or a kid with a little bit of potential is likely only to get one or two things right and get lucky with another. Pardew will want him to work on his tracking back ability and understanding when to play the ball to other players and that's probably why the idiot won't give him the start against Liverpool, we need Goufran for his supposed defensive ability.

Unbelievable Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 His style of play and entire demeanor reminds me a bit of an early day's Patrick Kluivert (at Ajax). His finishing seems to be pretty good too. It will be very interesting to see what he can achieve and what will ultimately be his best position.

midds Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Only a matter of time before we start hearing about how highly rated he is and how difficult it's going to be to keep him etc. The only reason we buy players like him is the hope he bursts onto the scene and turns the heads of City, Chelsea et al. He's not being bought for the benefit of the football team as such, he's been bought to make money for the club imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a matter of time, whether it's this season or next, that we'll start to hear Pards bigging him up in the media. Very soon after that it will be "we'll have to be strong if any bids come in for him this transfer window, don't want to lose him but we're not in the strongest position financially etc etc blah blah blah". Enjoy him while you can, he looks like a potential star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not being bought for the benefit of the football team as such, he's been bought to make money for the club imo. Fairly extreme innit? Don't think is tbh mate. Most players are bought by other clubs because they fill a specific role in the team and they'll add more attributes to the squad. We buy with the sole intention of seeing their value increase so we can move them on at a (large) profit. The contribution they make to the team is pretty much irrelevant. It's not "what can this lad add to the team?" it's more "how much could this lad be worth in a years time?", the priorities are wrong and that's why the majority of results and performances have been so horrendous for the last 2 years. The needs of the team come a very poor third to making/saving money and promoting Sports Direct and it fucking stinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
