But nope, you wrote him off.

It was an intelligence test. Simple as that.
Pat yourself on the back for being one of the 'smart' people. But I don't recall people writing him off. You'll have to find one from me where I wrote him off as a player. I don't judge players like that. Especially young players I haven't seen. But I'm also not one clamouring for Wenger to spend big on this young player because I don't trust his development skills. That's my argument. Not for that money. If he can't get enough out of his record signing in Ozil and if he can't get more out of our young players, I trust him with less, not more. An intelligent person should be able to comprehend what I'm saying here.

Do you trust Wenger to develop him? That's the question. And the fact that Wenger didn't recognise his talent in the first place should be the point to question. Not the fans. Man Utd signed Bebe, Nani and Anderson for silly money too so that's no argument.
