Arsenal's reserve team and youth players

goon

He's been dropped from the squad of the league 2 club he's on loan at :\

There were a couple of reserve games especially that blew me away, his passing range was phenomenal.

That's old news. Still only played two minutes for them though, not even getting in the match day squad.

That Banju kid reminds me of Zidane.

that's lame

Wow, first I've seen of Bunjaku and very impressed. More than anything, he seems to be very quick on the ball, unlike someone like Frimpong, who for all his talents does not yet have the speed of thought to compete at the top level. Very exciting talent; I wonder why he hasn't been given a shot in the reserves.

Out of those that have seen more of him, what would you say his weaknesses are?

Ricky1985

Slow and not very athletic would be why I have doubts about him. Remember Barazite had incredible technical quality and was a pretty quick and aware passer in the final third. Although this kid does seem to have a better understanding of everything to me - when to pass, when to shoot, who to release it to - but he'll have to be outstanding to have a hope of making it here in a forward position.

Don Pacifico

Thanks Ricky. Even with those deficiencies, he's still got a lot of talent to play with, judging by that comp.

Bunjaku will make it here I'm sure of that. He's in the Wilshere potential range and always looks like he's got time on the ball. I've seen him at Hale End and Steve Gatting & co., were excited about his potential back then.

He was born in Romford, East London and I quite like the fact he's not getting a lot of hype at the minute.

Bunjaku's nearly 17, I saw Wilshere quite alot at that age, and although I've seen only small amounts of Bunjaku, I don't think he's near Wilshere in terms of ability.

He's got as much ability, if not more than Wilshere. Don't let the fact that he's playing in an underacheiving Under 18 group cloud your judgement.

Don't worry about Ricky and Wilshere; it's a waste of time.

If you say so, I disagree, but there's no way to prove it either way, so I guess we shall just have to wait and see.

Personally I feel that Wilshere is the type of player you manage to produce once every other decade or so if you're lucky, but we do have a lot of good midfielders still coming through. I'm pretty sure that Lansbury, Coquelin and Aneke will be mainstays in the first team squad for years to come.

I haven't seen much of Bunjaku but that clip is pretty impressive. Seems to have similar ball control to Jack and Nasri. Keeps it very close to his ankles. Lot of turns and twists in tight spaces which gives him more time and opens up more alternatives. Is he eligible for England?

lorddulaarsenal

we'll take him!

You love him almost as much I do now. 🙂

Captain

Not possible.

Ricky1985

Born in Romford so he ought to be.

Yaya

Pretty good first touch/ball control/passing. Not a lot of dribbling imo. Some awful finishing though.

Pepe LeFrits

I did say he reminded me of Rosicky.
