gater2 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I know this may have been mentioned, so sorry if that's the case, but what do people think of getting in one or two youngsters in Jan? It obviously worked very well last year for Hull and Campbell. I've just read this link: http://news.BBC.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...nal/7759236.stm of 6 Arsenal young guns, all 20 or younger, who are amazing prospects, but aren't ready for their first team yet. Surely it would be in both clubs' interest to send some of them to Chapionship clubs, where they can get first team experience and hopefully do very well (like Campbell). I know there is a danger of this, and it's been tried in the past, but I think it's worth a go, especially as we need a bit of new life at the moment. So, Gary, if you're reading this, get on the phone to Arsene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 IF the link with Arsenal mentioned last week is true, I would be surprised if one or more of GJ, KM or PJ isn't on their way to Turf Moor right now. Good luck driving through that snow chaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Red Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 If Arsenal go out of the Carling Cup this evening, then it's probably a given that Arsene will let some of his young guns have some time on loan at other clubs. But if they stay in the Carling Cup, and seeing how they have performed so far it seems likely, then I believe Arsene stated somewhere that he will keep them all at the Emirates so they can play in the Carling Cup, and gain experience that way.

Yeah, it closed last thursday, a few days later GJ said, he had to wait 5 weeks before he could go into the loan market, odd that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe for one minute that Arsene Wenger would loan out Danny Simpson or similar for a few months just so he can receive the kind of service that Nicky Maynard got at Preston on Saturday. He would probably take one look at our style of play second half and wouldn't even dignify us with an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see exactly what your saying about service, but shorly Strikers are the last thing we need. We need a winger who can deliver crosses.......

22A Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Can we afford their wages? The lowest paid player in the Arsenal youth team is on £4,000 (yes four thou) a week! Compare that to say the Forest youth team where most are on £250 week except those who've made at least 10 appearances for the reserves; they are on £350 week. I was told by these figures by a friend whose son is a Forest youth player and they recently played Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an absoulutly massive youth squad including quite a few 16 year olds and under, i wuldnt be suprised if a lot of the youth team are on peanuts (in comparsion to the first team) 4 grand a week is bull....

Steve Bruce and/or Birmingham will surely have first pick of Arsenal's kids - sorry but I don't believe there's any mileage in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
