Always rated him. First heard about him on Football Manager a few years ago and watched out for news about him. It's a good move, he's a very promising player imo.

BBC fail?
Eboue and JensThat didn't take long.
quality!
1-0 Arsenal, good move.
That's a shame. Walnutt 1-0.
Walcott and Ramsey combining 1-0
That defending from Udinese left something to desire, both Walcott and Gervinho were free in the area.
Kazan are 1:0 up in Lyon.
Airshot Gervinho, although he was put off by a flying Belgian.
Terrible defending, good chance for Arsenal to make it 2-0.
Why didn't Asamoah square it?
Arsenal bench: Jenkinson and Frimpong? WTF? I they picked to random players from the reserves or under 19 to fill the bench?
FC Twente 1-0 up against Benfica at home... 10mins played...
What an effort Di Natale, off the crossbar with a freekick about 25 yards out.
Great effort, off the bar.
That was odd keeping by Chesney.
The bar saves arse
PIG with some De Gea-sque keeping there.
Udinese ain't giving this one lightly, eh? They look a team even without Inler, Alexis et al.
Both defences look shaky, Udinese's positioning is awful.
Good run, bad pass, shit hair.
Yup. Makes for good entertainment.
Another decent chance for Udinese. Arsenal are a bit shit defensively, to put it mildly.
This might be a high scoring game, end to end at the moment.
Hoping Ramsey gets more assists he's in my Sun dream team
Ridiculously open game ATM
good game so far....
Liverpool will beat arsenal at the weekend if they defend like this
Wenger is a fool for not having a few new signings sorted at the beginning of the summer - it would prevent the uncertainty that is on display here

Udinese's defence is just being walked through, Arsenal's is slightly better but nearly a great ball through them.
Wenger needs to get Song to shield the defence. I keep hearing how he's amazing defensive midfielder but he doesn't look to me like he fancies doing the nitty gritty.
They're lost without Wilshere. In the absence of Cesc he'd be relied on at the moment to get on the ball, take some of the sting out of the game and get the Gooners into a rhythm. At the moment its all too frantic. Nobody's taken charge in midfield.
That's why it's so exciting. Both teams play similar attacking philosophies but aren't too clever at the back.
What channel is the Arsenal match on in England?
Sky Sports 2.
totally agree
would have thought song would have stamped some authority on it
too many lightweight players in the side
think Gervinho and Walcott will catch them out
How is Rosisky still at the club???
I dunno about lightweights Cleverley's a slight fella but I think he'd do a lot better injecting some calm into that Arsenal midfield than anyone they have available can. They need someone to get on the ball and start pulling the strings. It feels as if they're trying to force it every time they get the ball and its costing them possession a lot. Some measured passing around the midfield for a few minutes to let everything settle would give them to sense of control they should have having gone ahead so early.
Why was Gibbs on the right wing?
Lyon 1-1 Kazan
Borisov 0-1 Sturm Graz
Borisov 0-1 Sturm Graz
I think I want Arsenal to go through.
Gervinho is terrible. Hes a very good dribbler, but his end product is absolutely shit.
