Anyway, I don't think Traore will be back in the squad next season whether it's a loan or a permanent, Pedro will be coming in along with maybe other wingers and, if Clichy goes, we must replace him with someone who's ready, like Baines, so he won't gt a look in at LB either.
To be fair when AW first arrived he had a 10 year plan regarding bringing youngsters through, whilst Wilshere has broken through and been very good he seems to be the only one so far, it wouldn't have been unfair to have expected a few more.

Not sure any of the other youngsters will make it either.
