Which player(s) are you most excited to see in pre season? (Pre season thread)

[A_G]

I think the non international players like Per, Monreal etc are back on July 6. Jack said he's due back to training on July 10 so I guess the others who played in the Euro qualifiers will be there then too.

 

[Danskin]

Welbeck, Chamberlain, Wilshere and some of the young boys.

 

[Rex Stone]

Sanogo, this year he'll come good I know it.

They will be back tomorrow. Mathieu Debuchy, Per Mertesacker, Gabriel, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Nacho Monreal, Mathieu Flamini, Danny Welbeck, Emiliano Martinez, Yaya Sanogo, Francis Coquelin, Krystian Bielik and Hector Bellerin are all back tomorrow. Players who had international commitments after the season ended are due back next week.

 

[Danskin]

Macey, Iliev, O’Connor, Pleguezuelo, Robinson, Maitland-Niles, Toral, Crowley, Wellington and Iwobi are expected to be there as well.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Petr Cech.

 

[Hunta]

Praying there's no sign of Diaby.

 

[Lilwizzle]

Gnabry.

 

[Bigbludfire]

Funnily enough, Theo. The performances will probably determine whether he starts at ST in august.

Both good shouts.

Welbeck getting a preseason with us could help him a lot.

Welbeck getting a preseason with us could help him a lot.

Getting used to the team over the course of a season, going over tactics etc. If Welbeck improves his offensive positioning, and off the ball runs, that would be a start. I don't think he's as bad a finisher as people say, I just think he doesn't get into enough shooting positions to score. Almost has 0 presence in the area.

I remember when Bendtner used to get abuse for missing chances, but that ************ was always in the right place to get chances. If we see an improvement in Welbeck's overall movement, and if indeed his finishing itself does improve (which I admit it does need to regardless), I'd be more optimistic. So I'd like to see him during pre-season and how he looks in the final third. We're unlikely to be signing a striker, so either he or Theo needs to look good at CF.

At this point, Theo looks the better CF though lol

"Are you looking forward to seeing Welbeck?"

 

[Sanchez11]

Cant believe no one has mentioned gabriel i think he will be a beast next season. Also looking forward to see ox and crowley.

 

[Danskin]

If Wellington is to stay for pre-season, he will definitely be one I will look forward to watch. I saw some of his performances for Almeria and he's an exciting player I will give him that.

 

[Jaywood Mac]

Cech, Bellerin, Gabriel, Ox, Wilshere, Walcott at cf and Wellington if he is indeed back.

 

[Rex Stone]

"Are you looking forward to seeing Welbeck?"

Speak for yourself mate.

 

[cloista]

Cech. Best keeper we've had for a decade.

 

[Mitch]

Wilshere - I really think he's going this goal scoring patch into next season.

Walcott - To continue where left off at the end of last season and cementing the CF role.

Gabriel - Looking forward to him proving himself and displacing Per.

Flamini
