Youth team development

Klaus

You know it.

Why was he recalled early? the article doesn't say.

Klaus

Not sure, but it looks like he's had a pretty good spell there: http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/arsenal-full-back-hector-bellerin-pulls-off-brilliant-lung-bursting-assist-for-watford-v-leeds/

Maybe one of our fullbacks is crooked? Gibbs has been sitting on the bench a lot lately.

Meatwad

he hasn't been getting game time since zola got fired so might as well bring him back.

Came here to talk Bellerin too as I thought it was odd he was recalled. Seems his last game was Feb 11th which isn't that long ago, but I had also heard he wasn't getting many games recently.

Lad looks a talent but I don't want to see Jenko/Bellerin as our RB pairing next year.

Moore got injured, so he came back to replace him.

Klaus

Who's Moore?

lorddulaarsenal

Tafari Moore. The busta rhymes of right backs

😆

Anyone seen anything of Semi Ajayi? Jeorge Bird said recently that he's making good progress and is a better defender than Miquel but not as good technically. He suggested he could be close to a squad place. We might be pretty desperate in the summer for a 4th choice CB if we also spend our time replacing Fabianski Sagna and Vermaelen.

lorddulaarsenal

He's an absolute tank. Agree with him not being as technically sound as Miquel but the premiership is now all about who has the most athletic team

Has Wenger ever brought through a good centre back?

Rex

Yes, he has.

frusciante

we signed him as an 18 years old, i wouldnt be surprised if we are counting with him and i wouldnt be surprised if hes fourth choice next season unfortunetly..but guy is physically a freak

Who? Senderos?

Song arguably, despite his woeful positioning.

Okay, so Kolo wasn't an academy product, but he was signed as a 20-year-old midfielder. Counts in my book.

Irishgunner

Doesn't count for me, but I understand why some would view him as a Wenger produced centre back.

I'm thinking more along the lines of u18 signings brought through and developed by Wenger.

Klaus

He is a Wenger-produced centreback by definition. He isn't an academy product though.

Timbob

Thuram.

But anyway, most managers at top clubs buy in centre halfs. Not many have the balls to throw an unproven kid in at centre back.
