Nzonzi

Thanks. I've always rated him. Had a great first season at Rovers and won fans player of the year. Dipped a bit last season but I don't think its uncommon among young players to be a bit inconsistent at the start of their careers. Been pretty much back to his best this season.

I think he'd look even better in a decent side. He's had to spend the majority of this season trying to hold together a lightweight and probably overly attacking midfield. I don't think Arsenal are overly strong in the holding midfield area so he could probably give Song and Diaby a run for their money.

Overall he's great in the air, tough tackler, reasonable pace and a reasonable passer.

From an outsiders point of view, he is a player I personally rate. He was/is young and in his first year he was one of Blackburn's best players - from what I seen of them. Last year he never played as well, but that is understandable as he was still adapting to the league, but others figured out what type of player he is.

If Diaby goes, he will be a perfect replacement, as he can hold the midfield, although I reckon it will be between him and Coquelin, both for a spot in the Arsenal and France midfield, if Arsenal were to sign him.

Does he have what it takes to play for Arsenal?

Well, he's French. I'm not yet sure if he's likely to bottle it when in sight of a trophy or wind down his contract to move to a decent club...

N'zonzi is a great player and would not look out of place in any Premiar league team

He's good and got potential, but to be fair he's no herold goulon

Never a wiser word was said tinkler.
