I’m actually thinking it makes sense to send him on loan for another year. He’s been fantastic for us and that would make it seem like he would get into the Arsenal side, but he really needs a season playing every match and not in and out of the team at Arsenal

It’s been a dream loan move for both the club and certainly the player. His stock has risen ten fold. Deserves a lot of credit with his excellent attitude and I think he’s genuinely loved his time here. This besides the fact that Bruce unbelievably left him on the bench for a few games.

It's really amazing how well he's played with us, i remember seeing him in his league debut which was against us at SJP and thinking this lad won't make it very far. but he's been one of the best PL loan signings i've ever seen.

Lets see if he can build on his loan spell or was this just another Papiss Cisse scenario

He’s going to have some pressure on him if he comes back. If he got 6-10 goals in the full season it’d be a good return but people will be expecting 20.

This would be my concern. The expectation would be immense from the thicker element of our fanbase.

Just as well we won't have to see that then, as I can't see Arsenal selling him.

More chance of him playing for Arsenal regularly next season. They’ll not spend any money and Arteta has already shown he’s willing to bed in younger players.

We probably could sign him though, but we’ll never place a bid close enough.

I think he'll end up here on loan for another year, it suits all parties.

Same.  If there is a buy clause, it'll be big now.

Bloody get him signed up. Pay the fucking fee over many years if needed, just get it done. He’s what we’ve been crying out for ages. We’ve not had any mobile CMs in our time. Sissoko, Wijnaldum, then like nobody for ages?

Good player, seems an even better lad. Wish him all the best.

I think he'll have a good PL career - he's got a decent amount of attributes that could work well in a few different set ups. Don't think he'll find that at Arsenal though...

Think you’re right about Arsenal not suiting him. Must admit the times he’s played for Arsenal he hasn’t looked half the player he has here. Be interesting to see what Arteta’s mindset will be with him concerning his future. I will be surprised if he’s here next year unfortunately.

Remains to be seen how Arsenal will treat him once pre season starts, he’s definitely good enough to get in most PL teams though.

As I said before, some players (and managers) just click with a certain club. It’s lightning in a bottle and doesn’t come around too often, well not like this. He’s perfect for this club.

25-30 million should see Arsenal snap our hands off. Before his goal scoring exploits I’d have said under 20 million but it is what it is now.

The issue is our budget.
