With pre season up and coming, which player(s) are you most excited to see in action? I had youth players in mind when i created the thread but any player goes!

I myself hope to see Bielik, and Crowley the most out of the youngsters!

Can't wait for A.O.C to come back!

The flashes of technical brilliance are exciting. Here's hoping he really EXPLODES onto the big time next season without having injuries.

I want him to get a setback free run of games.
I want better stats than Sterling next season(!).
I want 2015/16 to be The Year of The Ox!

Hope we'll get to see more of Chuba. The lad looked promising a couple of times he played, too raw still tho. Looks like he has the necessary skill set to succeed, just needs a bit of polishing. Wouldn't it be great for us to nurture a top English striker in the coming years?

I'm predicting Maitland-Niles, Zelalem and Crowley all to feature.

League is very weak
Oxlade Chamberlain. Hopefully has a good pre season and that could be the base to him exploding next season.

He'll contibute, just needs to keep fit, this is where im hoping we'll further see the influence of Shad. Saw hints of it last season where Wenger took his time with players returning from injury, in previous years guys like Theo were straight back in the team.

Welbeck too, lets see how he looks, and hopefully a good pre season gets the confidence up in him. Going to be a massive player if we don't sign a striker.

Pre season could also see shoot outs between Per/Gabriel, Debuchy/Bellerin, Monreal/Gibbs etc.

Mostly the youth players IMO, particularly Zelalem, Bielik, Iwobi, Maitland-Niles and Crowley. I'd also be interested to see Akpom doing well too before he goes on a loan (hopefully a good one).

Of the seniors, Gabriel, Welbeck, Ox and Wilshere hold the most interest in terms of how they will shape up for the start of the season. Most of all though, I want to see if we are going to build on the tactical set-up we attempted to employ for most of last season, with the high-pressing game being tried and tested more than a few times.

So only 5 friendly games including the CS? Seems short.

The season starts fairly early which doesn't help much but our pre-season last year didn't have many matches either. There are a couple Arsenal XI ties against Bristol Rovers and Boreham Wood aswell, although probably youth players will play those ones.

Looks like half our squad will only get the Emirates cup games, the players who played in the Euro qualifying games will be back July 13th if they get four weeks off like Wenger said. The rest (Arteta, Per, Monreal etc) returned today I think, unless they get extra time off.

Chambers and Alexis should only miss the first two/three games of the season as well, back for Liverpool.
