He will most probably play for Germany though. USA can still tap him (get on it Chum)

If his stamina is that good at 16 then that's a good omen.

I feel a little bad for Yennaris, that he isn't going. Always liked him and hoped he would prove himself enough to break into the first team as a squad player. Plus he can fill in as a fullback so the staff must feel he just isn't going to break through at this point.

Apparently he just came from an injury. But he is always hindered with these injuries whenever he picks up form. Shame really

think we are going to need another centre half, Vermaelen will be off form when he comes back and we can't rely on Miquel to provide cover.

Arsenal have named the sqaud:

Damien Martinez is in, Gervinho is "ill" (aka leaving). Otherwise, it's the same as the provisional squad posted yesterday.

Gervais missing it is interesting. Harsh but I hope we sell him this summer, it's for the best of all involved.

This probably means that we're not only signing a striker but another attacking third player aswell. Or Gnabry gets more chances to play next season.

We've already got Podolski, Cazorla, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain for the flanks, with the option of Rosicky as additional cover. I can't see another attacker coming in with that level of depth already there.
