Arsenal like to talk about how amazing there youth team is despite the fact they have only produced 1 world class player in recent memory and his name is Ashley Cole.

Meanwhile we hear very little about Man United's youth system despite the fact that it has produced Beckham, Scholes, Neville and Giggs. Even now the only Arsenal youngster that looks promising is Wilshere and even he is vastly overrated by the English media who are desperate for him to become the next big thing and England's saviour.

And despite having all these amazing talents at there disposal they have won nothing of note for 6 years!

Arsenal like to talk about how amazing there youth team is despite the fact they have only produced 2 world class players in recent memory and they are Ashley Cole and Cech Fabregas (You could argue Barca had something to do with Cech too). But both of them left while they were in there prime.

Face it Arsenal fans, you believed the hype and now you are faced with the reality and it doesn't look good.

u could also agrue that Beckham wasn't there youth if you don't count Cesc.....as Beckham joined when he was 17 from Spurs.....

Means "Quoted For Truth"

I second your post, it's hilarious that they spend their time talking about how they're giving youths chances and how they'll be big while clubs like Chelsea aren't blah blah and yet most of them don't even turn out to be good. Laughing

But you got to give Cesc to them, they made him.

by aford92 Thu Sep 01, 2011 3:52 pm

Yeah fine, I'll give them Cesc, I was being a bit harsh, Barca didn't have much to do with it really.

Right now, we need experienced players. A fast, short term solution. Martin would have been great, yeah, but it would have been a 2007 Arsenal type signing. Wenger might be tweaking his "youth only" policy. It's a refreshing change, IMO. Kids aren't going to get us nowhere right now. Gotze > Martin, but it didn't happen. M'Vila didn't happen, either. Maybe they simply were too expensive.

We lacked CB cover because Squillaci is shit. Also, when a player the caliber of Mertesacker is available for cheap, you definitely need to act. He's better and more experienced than all our CBs.

Which 2 AMs did we add? The only one we had was Rosicky What a Face

by Mr Nick09 Thu Sep 01, 2011 4:03 pm

Arent Benayoun and Arteta two AMs?

Yeah, but what other AMs do we have? We needed an AM after Cesc leaving, and I'm sure Benayoun is a depth signing.

by Mr Nick09 Thu Sep 01, 2011 4:08 pm

You have ROsicky, Benayoun, Arteta and Ramsey now. is Wenger going to add Martin on top of it? doubt it.

as CBs, Merte, Verm, Djourou, Kos, wo you need Cahill?

Arteta will be 30 once the season ends, Benayoun will return to Chelsea and he'd be 32. Rosicky hasn't been the same since his injury, is also old. Ramsey just isn't ready yet. So Martin would make sence, even if just for depth.

I agree we don't need anymore CBs. Cahill is mediocre, anyways. Getting Mertesacker pretty much killed all the Cahill rumors.

by SUPERCARTTS Thu Sep 01, 2011 4:13 pm

nonsense right there! We're simply adding 5 experienced figure heads to the mix. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

We have a healthy development system that is producing talent. No need for the knee jerk.

Oh this is a failure
6 years of building for the future has led to no trophies, 2 wins in 15 games and selling 2 of your best players in their prime.
Arteta et all werent bought for their experience, they were panic buys because Arsenal couldnt get anyone else.
You have an injury prone squad yet buy 2 injury plagued players? Saving some time by buying them ready injured?

by Lex Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:38 am

Sooo, is the Sneijder deal off then?

by cyberman Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:44 am

Yep, turned him down. As he said himself he expected to come to Utd..we pulled the plug.
Thats what big clubs do, we have options..not panic buying 1hr before the window shuts
Like an ugly twonk at a club, 30 mins before closing trying desperately to cop off with any moose that would have him

by Highburied Fri Sep 02, 2011 2:51 am

Man Utd is weaker than before.

De Gea is no VDS

Smalling and Jones vs Ferdinand and Vidic... no comparison

Full backs are hard to find lately

Anderson LOL, Cleverly?, Who else? Fletcher. .. Scholes is asking, are they any good?

Ashley Young and Nani can never be Giggs in this lifetime.

Rooney will be around carrying this team.

Definitely a good team but far from what they had before.

Im sorry, but arent Rio, Vidic et all still there?
WTF?
I guess our youngsters will never improve..might as well give up now..god i wish Jones was as good as the other top level 19 yo CB in the world.
If only Rio got injured last year to see what Smallings made of.
Seriously, sell Young. Hes playing well..almost too well...like hes got something to hide

Im quitting football, delete this account..im so depressed

by Highburied Fri Sep 02, 2011 3:02 am

Man Utds best asset? Sir Alex Ferguson.

It doesnt matter what team when hes in charge.

Players have to bleed to win games.

The reason why Chelsea is not being successful is because firing managers from left and right.

The reason why Arsenal remains in top4 and sometimes challenges for title and goes far in CL is because of Wenger.

God knows what happens to Arsenal and Man Utd when these two managers retire or god forbid something happens to them

Apparently, Chelsea told Villas Boas, he will not be fired even if they dont win a trophy. Thats a good start.

by Lex Fri Sep 02, 2011 3:03 am

LOL yeah ok, United turned Sneijder down.....
