wiggyrichard Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He's a bit good isnt he!? Im all for not rushing kids of 17 or 18 who are clearly talented, but every now and again you get someone like Rooney or Chamberlain who are cleary ready both mentally and physically. Wengar has already said that he will not be rushed and used in every game, but im sorry, i dont see how you can leave someone so talented out of the team when his fit? Wengar should be starting this kid when ever he's available imo. He's not fazed by anything and is built like a brick shit house for an 18 year old. Should he go to the Euro's?

wiggyrichard Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yes I think he should Agreed, i really dont see what there is to lose by taking him. Use him as an impact player, the other teams wont know whats hit them! The kids a game changer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 great potential but would not take him to Euros as the expectation be too much. better to blood him in Olympics with players similar age and lesser expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd take him. He is the same age as Michael Owen was in 98 or Wayne Rooney at Euro 2004. He already has high expectations given the size of the fee Arsenal paid for him so let him go, he is certainly good enough. He has played well in both the Premier League and the Champions League in recent weeks, it's not like Theo Walcott in Germany at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Take him. Him and Sturridge could make the diffrence between a 'meh' tournament as usual and a 'wow, can't wait for the next game'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He rocks up at Arsenal and plays football with no fear regardless of opposition. Arsene needs to protect him because 2 or 3 poor performances and suddenly he goes from being a talented, confident, arrogant young man to being scared to make a 5 yard pass, that is only natural and what makes him so good (beyond the talent) is the freshness and fearlessness he has. Got to go to Euros, even if he doesn't get any game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You should have asked 'should England blood him', but not give his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd take him and actually play him. Not like taking Theo Walcott for a little holiday in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'd start him. He has no fear which hampers many of the older players usually picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted March 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2012 Take him no question. Yes he is young and inexperienced but he has a maturity in his game and it seems in his character that is way beyond his age. He is certainly good enough and despite the pressure and the moaning from Wenger, I'd take him. In fact the moaning from Wenger alone would make it worthwhile.

flamingsombrero Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah rush him in, it's not like it's failed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again when this has happened before or anything. Besides when everyone says he's overrated and not well rounded enough in a couple of years time we can just throw in the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscartwright_avfc Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If you're good enough you're old enough. And he is definitely good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides when everyone says he's overrated and not well rounded enough in a couple of years time we can just throw in the next one. I think that is a very cynical view. And in recent tournaments I can only think of three examples of people in Oxlade-Chamberlain's situation, they were Michael Owen ahead of World Cup 98 (Success), Wayne Rooney ahead of Euro 2004 (Success) and Theo Walcott ahead of World Cup 2006 (Failure) and the Theo Walcott situation was quite different because although he had moved for big money he hadnt played in the Premier League at the point in which the squad was announced. It was actually a selection out of the blue which hardly anyone was calling for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah, the Theo thing isn't a very good comparison. IIRC Theo hadn't started for Arsenal and was taken as a striker in place of Defoe. Once Owen was injured, England were left painfully short up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Take him, the fact Wenger put him central midfield against AC Milan just shows what a quality all round footballer this player is. He's got a helluva lot of ability, can play either side or through the middle, good brain. I like him a lot. (as we all do ..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
