Youth team development

Can't wait for him and Bielik to line up against City on Sunday. Buzzing.

This one's doing the round in the papers today: apparently we've offered a professional contract to a 17 year old Swedish striker who arrived in the summer of 2014. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20150119/da-graca-signs-professional-contract

I know absolutely nothing about him, but Sweden is a shithole when it comes to youth talent and everyone knows it. The fact that they still bothered to scout this guy might mean that he's a decent player.

He looks about 24

GaelForce

Article says he's a defender FYI.

Rex

Knowing Wenger and his ideas, it is not completely absurd if he was actually a striker when we signed him though. 🙂

What's the Swedish football system like?

Klaus

It's like a game of musical chairs, only there are more chairs than people playing, and afterwards everyone gets cake.

Rex

😆 you nailed it.

Brooklyn Beckham has been brought into our U18's squad, at the age of 15. Is he actually any good?

Biggus, how do you feel about Brooklyn Beckham? 😆

:john: What a stupid name.
I can't stand beckham as i forever associate him with fungus manu mob of scholes giggs neville and neville. For some weird reason i stiĺl associate keane with forest.

lorddulaarsenal

Brooklyn beckham is fat

Patters

Similar poncy body shape when striking. Good investment by the club, should sell some shirts in the US.

QuincyAbeyie

David Beckham seems like a very decent guy.

Beckham to be released in the summer apparently.

Yep, that was the vibe the last few days. Supposedly the two younger brothers have a much better chance of making it, especially, Cruz, the youngest brother.

The youth team also got knocked out of the youth cup last night at home to Crewe. All still a bit of a mess at the younger levels right now. Although, they are at the start of a big overhaul so it should improve.

What has happened to Zelalem?
After impressing when he first joined, he now looks completely ineffectual every time i see him.
Like Thomas Eisfeld who seemed be be overtaken by Kristoffer Olsson, it looks like he has been overtaken by Crowley.
As for Brooklyn Beckham, it's not as if he is destined to be destitute but i still feel sorry for the lad.
Being a celebrity's offspring is a double edged sword but he is lucky to have a supportive dad.

Everytime I look for our u18s in the league table, I get a shock.

DC's a massive talent. But they're not the same type of player. It'll still be a while before we should start worrying "what happened to Zelalaem".

Spyro

Jon Toral scored a hatrick for Brentford tonight. He seems to be doing quite well there. Anyone think he may have a chance of making it here?

Bosscielny

No way.
