Youth team development

Haven't been impressed by McGuane a single bit

Bold Tone

I agree and would add Da Silva who has looked a liability in the first team.
I hope it's nerves as he must be doing something right on the training pitch to get there.
I think Nelson and Nketiah are the best but they have to contend with a higher bar as the first team is always going to have world class internationals in their positions as shown by AMN making it ahead of them.

We could be down to 1 by next season. We were sold a dream

Two of those are great players while one was sold for £40m. That's incredible for a group of five talents.

Couldn't help thinking that myself!

(The other two have also played for England, one of them many times... I'll stop there!) 🙂

He's an interesting talent because he has a touch of everything about him. Good mix of technique and athleticism.

His contract is up in the summer and he's been linked with Juventus, Man United, Man City and one or two others.

A League 2 club is a bit disappointing but if they've promised regular game time, perhaps even in the CB role we've been playing him in, then it'll be very good for him.

Our loan choices and management has been pretty shocking for a long time now. I'd rather they have apps

2 of those loans got cancelled and re-loaned out while 3 others are on the verge of being cancelled.

And probably none by the end of next season.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Safe to say that Bramall has absolutely no business being an Arsenal player?

And Jenkinson 😆

goon

Jenko has been injured. Bramall looked useless to me after seeing him play a couple of times, just a pace merchant like Traore.

Smith Rowe wonder goal.

Lovely.

Wtf how is that even possible? Must have been very windy or something.

Incredible strike.

Emile Smith-Rowe has flown under the radar, people seem more taken by the other more flashier talent we have, but I have been banging on about him for ages now. I really, really like what I've seen of him.

He is 6'+, fast, athletic, two footed, superb technique and awareness, and a killer in front of goal. Plays wide but has also been used as a striker. I've seen him score some absolute genius goals over the past 18 months or so. And not 18 until July.

We won the game 3-1 btw. Mavropanos was apparently very impressive again. Xavier Amaechi and Tyrece John-Jules, both only 16, made their first starts at this level. Both were reportedly very impressive and the latter bagged a brace. Really good stuff.

The angle of the camera is doing most of the work.

Big Willie

Even with the camera angle accounted for the curl on that is just wow.

That was my reading of the tape as well. Good ball nonetheless

Reminds me of this:

Emile Smith-Rowe is a fair bit different. He reminds me a bit of Gareth Bale with his build and turn of speed but when he's in the box he moves and strikes the ball like Pires....in style not necessarily quality! Cool as a cucumber in his finishing.
