I know it's only July, but it does frustrate me that was always seem to wait to the last minute for deals and then are held to ransom, if we do make signings (which we will have to) then surely it is better to get them in now before other clubs start chasing. The best players will be snapped up in no time and I want us to have a settled squad for pre-season.

Josh will come through as long as he managed and developed in the right way. Even I can see his talent, so he must be good.
Physically he is not there yet in my humble opinion, and he is certainly not ready yet to become the fulcrum of the team, but if we want to win anything in the next two or three seasons,we need such a player now, we can't wait for Josh to become the player we all know he will eventually be.

Physically he's not ready yet. Against Marseilles he held his own against Diawara, who's huge, but he got bowled over a couple of times just because of his size. In that respect I agree with you. I also don't think he's ready to take on the mantle of main playmaker for the side, even though he hasn't given me reason to doubt him... It's just too much of a gamble and could potentially ruin his chance of succeeding with us.
My prognosis: Cheeky bid for Alonso?

When i say physically, i mean to meet the demands of a full season, plus his body is not fully developed yet, he has the chest of a sparrow.

We need a cheeky bid for someone,although I think Alonso hates Chelsea.he certainly hates Lampard anyway,

Why do you say that he can't meet the demands of a full season yet?
It's not that I disagree with you, i'm just curious.

Because he is only 18 and as i mentioned, i don't believe his body is fully developed yet, and he certainly needs to strengthen his upper body.
I think this maybe the reason so many Arsenal young players get injured badly. Yes they have been victims of some horrendous tackles, but I also think they have been rushed too soon for their physical capacity
