Youth team development

kamikaze

Wilshere is the most overrated Arsenal player of all time.

Second is possibly Denilson, whose appreciation by football hipsters I'll never understand. He "recycled possession" if I remember correctly...

Just give this lad all Welbeck and Theos minutes.

Yes, please. Just don't Wilshere him into the ground.

There is no way we will keep Nelson under this current ownership/administration.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Arsenal U18s beat West Ham U18s 6-1 earlier today. Emile Smith-Rowe scored a hattrick. The kid is a BIG talent.

When was the last time we've had a talent like this at 17? Not even Wilshere was this good. Fabregas?

Who would you say he is most like in the first team - just asking to get a sense of what he may be like.

Ricky1985

In this team, not really anyone very closely. With his upright running style and elegant ball striking he kind of reminds me of Robert Pires. At least I've thought that a few times when he's swept home a finish.

He's got an awful lot going for him. 6'1", fast, good dribbler and crosser, good eye for a pass, very clever in the final third - scored some wonderfully inventive goals - and bangs in a lot of goals too: usually from the right or left wing.

He really is a big talent, along with Trae Coyle, the next crop to potentially make it to the first team after Nelson.

Sancho going to Dortmund

City have only allowed him to talk to Dortmund, Bayern and Madrid apparently. How does that work if he doesn't have a pro-contract?

Anyway, the old joke about how 'Arsenal will probs just sing a 17yr old loooool' isn't even true anymore 🙁

That was after winning the Premier League 2 Player of the Month Award earlier in the day.

Already his sixth goal of the season. I am really pleased he's put a free-kick in the top corner because I've been annoyed watching him not get a chance to to take one ever after seeing him bang them in regularly for the Arsenal youth sides.

It's sad that I'm worried about what wenger will do with him once he's in the first team.

Also the more desolate things are at senior level, the more hype/expectationb falls on his shoulders

goon

Didn't he take corners to ahead of a load of senior players in pre-season? He's obviously good in dead ball situations.

Can't wait to see him in the first team.

Ricky1985

I've always loved his striking technique on a deadball - it's extremely repeatable and I think he'll turn into a specialist once he's a proper player.

I've seen him take fantastic corners with his left foot a number of times as well.

Bold Tone

Uses his left foot as well?
That's a W.
Wish Welbeck, Walcott & Wilshere would.

Also a superb free-kick scored by Josh Dasilva in the same game:

He has been very impressive so far this season. Really stood out along with Nketiah and Nelson when I was at the Emirates. Played left wingback that day but is at his best as a box-to-box CM. Got a good mix of everything about him.
