We’ve now seen the squad thats been named for the tour to Singapore and there are a few names missing that will raise an eyebrow…!
I would of thought after a long loan spell that Wellington Silva finally joining the side would of mean’t Arsene would want a good long look at him but seems he not is the squad to travel. Maybe he has been lined up for a loan spell in England. Isaac Hayden is another missing from the squad again maybe he is lined up for a season long loan but otherwise it would seem that Arsene doesn't see him as part of the 1st team squad.
We normally say the pre-season tour gives us an idea of the youngsters that Arsene rates and Dan Crowley, Jeff Adelaide and Chris Willock will all hope to shine along with Chuba Akpom who I think has a big opportunity to throw down a marker especially with Danny Welbeck still recovering from a knock.
It will be interesting to see the younger players alongside the regulars and to see who impresses or who fails to show the necessary skill to step up when needed. It’s not just about the ability its about being able to show the talent on the bigger stage and to be able to make a mark when playing against seasoned pro’s and experienced players. Attitude and mental strength are a prerequisite and am sure Arsene will be looking at how the young players conduct themselves as he does love a bit of mental strength……
A lot of social media hot air yesterday with several sources saying Arsenal are close to a huge signing, not sure if thats giant haystacks huge or a world class player but as yet nothing has happened so I’ll hang tight until we announce the signing of Messi.
Enjoy your day.
