Nketiah looked very good when Jesus first got injured giving Nketiah his opportunity for a run in the team.
However, this was at a time when Arsenal were playing very well and with confidence and in a sense it made it easier for him to look threatening and get his goals.
When Arsenal’s form dropped so did Nketiah’s and I would question whether he would have the attributes to dig a struggling team (which we sometimes are ) out of a hole.

I’ve liked the fairly limited viewings I’ve had of Nelson but could see the attraction if Zaha departs.
Nelson is pacy, favours the left hand side and has a decent shot on him.
He’s not going to get in the Arsenal team ahead of Martinelli or Trossard so his career is at something of a crossroads in particular as he is now in his early twenties.
I suppose it’s a question of whether Zaha departs and what the deal would be for Nelson.

Agreed. You're normally on the button Lanzo.
Although I would love to get him and think he would fit well, I would much rather keep Guehi and get Nkletiah on loan. If we want to guarantee our status as a Premier mid table we need Guehi and Anderson to stay put.
Come on Blitzer, step up just this once. you're not here for long. Make south london very happy.

Very kind, thank you, yes, loan with option to buy would be good, it would maybe make Nelson sign on a free if Nketiah is going to come.

I’d have him at Palace. It’s his youth record that stands out the most…if he realises his potential, we’d have a very good player.

Nketia, yes. Nelson yes. Holding no. None of my Arsenal mates rate him at all and were convinced they were going to struggle when he was in the lineup.
