Youth team development

Claudius

Qwiss looks like similar path to Nwaneri and MLS. Probably sit on the bench at some point this season and make a 5 minute appearance next year. Great to have 3 players of this level. It feels like La Masia now. Not just volumes of players, but incredibly talented folks

Don Pacifico

Claudius think Arteta said something about PL rules not allowing us to include him in the match day squad...?

Qwiss

Claudius yep it's impressive. Wenger legacy coming through.

I think his birthday falls at a point where he can't play in the PL or CL this season. Arteta hinted that this is the main bottleneck to his first team involvement this season. I suspect his first team integration might be much faster than a lot of people believe. I would take the over on 0.5 first team starts for him next season.

Now thass what I call an academy

Unai Emery’s fledglings gonna rock the world

banduan

lorddulaarsenal Unai Emery’s fledglings gonna rock the world

they the BFG's babies now, and have been for a while. He been doing good work.

Claudius

banduan credit to him. i used to think he was building a woke force of babies who were too in touch with their feelings. but voila, we have wonderful young men who have full football toolkit and are bursting with confidence

TambourineMan

Looks like we might lose Heaven to United. Would this be a big loss?

Claudius

TambourineMan he’s highly rated. Arteta likes him. Good on the ball. Left centre back who can do left back. He’s the right age profile for Gabriel replacement. Hopefully he understands that

Qwiss

Claudius TBH if he wants to go he should go to a smaller team where he will play more. There isn't much reason for a player of his profile to go to United instead of us. Especially when they are already trying to blood Lenny Yoro.

Claudius

Qwiss I understand that United is able to lure young boys and their families with these massive pay checks. Which I understand. Butler-Odeyeji played his first and last champions league game for us this week after 14 years with the club. This shit is brutal.
But it would be good if he and his agent looked at that club - saw the rat faced captain, the weasel of a butcher who is ahead of him at left centre back - and decided that this is no place for a decent young man.

Young lad was in training today. 17 year old striker. 6 goals and 2 assists in 7 in u18 premier league. 1 goal in 7 in PL2. Also Nigeria needs to convince a few of these kids to join their national team. Cos what a talent pool.

Sicario2 this kid is gonna slay Odegaard

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Goodbye Odegaard.

Claudius

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert who’s your weed man?

RowJimmy

Strange agenda.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

😂

RowJimmy

I mean, Odegaard on form is one of the top 10-15 players in the PL. So regardless of who is coming up through the youth system, we keep him, unless someone offers us enough money that we can get either Isak or Wirtz plus one other nailed on starter with change in our pocket.
