Will I stay or shall I go ?

Thursday 5th August - the Emirates Stadium. After a long wait those who have tickets for Arsenal members day wait for the 2010-11 first team squad to be introduced on the pitch by Arsenal legend Bob Wilson.

Wilson announces : "fresh from his World Cup success, Captain, Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas runs out onto the pitch he applauds the crowd, who in turn chant "we've got Cesc Fabreagas" Of course the key question was : For who much longer ?

There were few signs on the day. The shops did a good trade selling new kits, but not many were taking the risk of having Fabregas put on the back of the shirt. During the training session Fabregas, like Van Persie, and Bendtner kept to one side not training with the rest of the squad as not yet being fit for action.

Yet on the same day news was announced that three young Arsenal players had been selected to be in the England squad for the next friendly against Hungary, seemingly the start of the next generation. Walcott, Gibbs and Jack Wiltshere. Wiltshere will get the media attention, 18 and his premiership experience largely restricted to a loan spell at Bolton, nevertheless Wiltshere has a real presence on the ball and used last weekends Emirates Cup to showcase his talent.
