How should Arsenal utilise him to best develop his talents over the next 18 months?

Wow, that's a tough one.

I'm going to have to go back and look at the Man United model with Fergie.

Right.

And Fergie got people out on loan and got games under their belt.

So you would say get out on loan?

I think so.

It's the only way he's going to... He will get to a certain level by training with the first team and the first team squad every day.

But you really don't start taking proper leaps until you play first-team football.

And he's not going to be doing that anytime soon, I don't believe, at Arsenal.

So where would you send him?

I would send him to the top of the Championship.

Send him to a team who actually are going to be dominant and he's going to get plenty of the ball

and he's going to get reps, that's where I would send him.

You see players going to teams in the bottom half of the Premier League, there's no point in doing that.

There's no point in going to a Burnley, because all you're doing is defending.

It makes you a better defender, but Arsenal want you to be in the final third, creating and scoring goals.

Wherever it is, even abroad,

I think the most important thing is it's a good level and you're at a team that's going to have a lot of the ball and that way you get loads of reps.

Stevie, which is more difficult?
