I said last season when he first arrived and people were criticising him that I wish he was one of ours.
I do hope we can get him but wages may be the stumbling block
We sometimes forget how young he is with lots to learn.
Chuk's loan ends at the end of the season, when he is also out of contract at Arsenal. I wonder if, like Inman, he sees the Alex as the club where he can build his career?
General consensus is that he is not a PL player and probably never will be, and if he moves to a Championship club he may not get to play and will warm the bench.
Chuks 'fits' with us and I think he is respected by the rest of the squad, I think.
I sat next to Arsenal's 'man in the area' last night and he was reporting back to Wenger on Chuks's progress. He was also asking a lot about Coco, but that did not worry me.

Sorry but I think we have no chance, he's well above our level, despite what some say on here I think he is bound for the prem, his vision for forward passes is excellent. He's ability to keep the ball, his shooting from distance (although we are steadily training this out of him). For me he is the full package and I think that he could easily slot in to a few prem teams.
So basically we've no chance, I'm not sure Arsenal will give him a chance in the first team but there were 35 scouts at the game last night and 15 were from prem clubs so there will be plenty of people aware of him now if they weren't before.
That said, yes I'd love him to come to us but we couldn't afford his wages me thinks.
Not a chance. Not only is he too good to be a permanent Crewe player, I doubt we can afford 10% of what his wages would be.
think we said same about Inman
just remind me who he plays for now
not all players need stupid prem wages to live on
some luv playing regular - and Chucks would do that here
Mr Bowler make a cheeky offer - before others do
+ say give Arsenal - 50% sell on
Oh we can dream

You know what, me too, I doubt they would go for it but it's worth a punt!
Hope Mr Bowler is reading this site
Good idea. . . and we can always bump in a signing on fee (and loyalty bonus) for the player from the money saved from the transfer fee to offset the lower wages . . .
Crewe can not compete in the Transfer market with Rotherham and Fleetwood so No Chance!!
