If he stays a few years he will be the best

Is there a better crosser of the ball in the premier league?

I'm not sure there is.

I wonder how long it will take for him to play every game....surely must jusr be his fitness now needing improvement as he should be 1st choice at RW.

Some pretty good crossers in the PL to be fair: Fuchs, Brady, Larsson, Ward-Prowse, Brunt, Trippier. He's up there but can't say after 11 games he's the best.

Looking forward to getting Baines back in the side. We lack a threat down the left without him.

In 361 premier league minutes he has as many assists as all of those players combined. And that's ignoring his 3 assists against Barnsley.

Yeh he's a good crosser and has decent players to finish them off. Why does that necessarily mean he's the best crosser in the league????

Arteta is dead to me.

That's the best list you can come up with in the PL?

You can often forget that he's only 21 with bags of learning and improvement to come. As he has said, playing at Barcelona meant he didn't really need to learn to defend, track back , press people etc, that will come slowly. Teams will start to be wary of him when he has the ball. Get too close to him and he'll skip past you, stand off him and back up and he'll pop the ball into the box for Lukaku/ Kone. As he gets fitter he'll get more involved and make a more consistent impact.
The only downside to his game is that he can be eased off the ball by a more physical defender , goes down too easily and throws his hands in the air expecting a free kick which doesn't come.
The exciting thing is that the PL will require him to address these weaknesses, and add another dimension to his game to go with the Spanish flair.

This kid is ridiculously good at football. I can't even think of anyone his age who creates chances like he does.
