Whilst I do think he's gonna turn out to be a star, I do think at this very stage, he's a tad overrated. The one game at anfield was no doubt shown to prove his ability, but he'd hardly played many games for the gunners prior to that.
Don't get me wrong, he's a class player and could go on to become one of the best this season, but he needs to do a little more to be talked about like the way he has. He does remind me of a better version of Pires though. He's scores goals, has a very accurate shot and has a brilliant footballing brain. I'd love to have him in our side, he might have been a lethal trio combination with gerrard and Torres.
