I heard that Cedric Evina is a real talent, and that Conor Henderson has chosen to play for Ireland ahead of England. Are they both good players?
January 7, 2008 at 4:41 pm
yeah they’re both good, but i thought conor henderson was going to play for england?
January 11, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Do you know anything about schoolboy Graeme Hegarthy.
I think Conor Henderson and Oliver Nicholas have chosen to play for England over Ireland
One other question, Warren Barton the ex Newcastle player said on SKY a while back that his nephew is a schoolboy with Arsenal and I was wondering have you any info on the lad
January 11, 2008 at 10:20 pm
i’ve heard of hegarthy but don’t know too much about him to be honest. Yeah i think your right about henderson and nicholas and hopefully they’ll get more chances at arsenal. as for warren barton’s nephew, i’m not too sure, i’ve probably heard of the player but wouldn’t know if he’s related to him or not.
January 16, 2008 at 6:22 am
Do you have any idea who these two 14 year old schoolboy players were that Arsena Wenger referred to this week when he said they were complety players and there was no more that they could be taught technically?
January 19, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Is a Frimpong a quality player? The only things I’ve heard of him is he has been called up to England U-16 and is a big center midfielder. What are his strengths and weaknesses? Does he have what it takes at Arsenal?
PS This site is great a big help to a Gooner curious about the future.
January 20, 2008 at 11:25 am
Frimpong is a player in the Patrick Vieira mould, he uses his physique to bustle past players and can score the occasional long range strike. He gets tired quite easily though
January 20, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I’ve heard thatr Rhema Obed haver left the club…
January 20, 2008 at 5:35 pm
yeah i’m not sure if that’s true or not, but i think he’s still here
January 20, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Who is Rorie Deacon?
January 20, 2008 at 6:36 pm
he is a winger who plays for the u-16s
January 20, 2008 at 10:05 pm
conor henderson is a year above me at school (Colfe’s School) and he is choosing to play for Ireland over England. Real talent has been playing for our school team with boys 3 years older than him at times and has dealt with the physical aspect of the game really well. Should be one for the future! gotta try and convince him to play for england now!
January 21, 2008 at 10:11 am
How old is that Deacon guy?
January 30, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Igo to school with deacon he’s sixteen fast, atheltic and has tremendous passing ability
February 2, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Is Jack Wilshire a left or right winger? Do u think he could he the future right winger after Hleb leaves/retires? Cuz Wenger has said Walcott will be a striker, and Hleb has said he wants to retire at Arsenal which i imagine would be at around 33/34, which would make Wilshire about 24. If you don’t think this will happen, who will be the next right winger? Barazite? Randall?
February 2, 2008 at 8:00 pm
wilshere generally plays more centrally but can play wide-right as well. I think watt has done well when he has played there and ogogo can push into that position too, having said that, i feel it is very unlikely that a youth player will fill the role because by that time we probably will have bought somebody else. Jonas Rasmussen can play there too, by the way. He did today.
February 4, 2008 at 10:26 am
Theres speculation that fran merida wont make it at arsenal because his loan move can be made permanent, which if wenger thought highly of him, wouldnt be included.
its a shame because he was touted as the next fabregas
February 7, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Frans loan move can not be made permanant.AW has said that he will be part of the 1st team next season.
February 9, 2008 at 11:06 am
have you heard of jason banton as he is on the fa page but not urs
February 9, 2008 at 3:30 pm
banton signed for tottenham last month
February 10, 2008 at 5:44 pm
why did he sign for tottenham, do we have a good replacement
February 10, 2008 at 5:52 pm
yes, we have luke freeman who came in just after banton left and we got £100,000 for Banton which was a good deal to be honest.
February 10, 2008 at 8:02 pm
who is better freeman or banton
February 10, 2008 at 9:32 pm
freeman has more potential, but banton is a powerful out and out goalscorer. it’s difficult to say at this early stage, but i definitely think that freeman has the potential to be a top quality player. As for Banton, will he turn into another Rohan Ricketts?
February 14, 2008 at 1:13 pm
What age group is Benek affobe in. How good is he.
February 14, 2008 at 3:57 pm
benik plays for the u-16s. he was born in 1993, so he will be a scholar not next season, but the season after that.
February 18, 2008 at 3:22 am
So what would you say the first team is for the U-18s is with everyone fit? Seems to me that it is this:
GK:Szczesny
LB: Evina
RB: Eastmond
CB: Hoyte, Rodgers
LW: Watt
CM: Thomas, Frimpong
RW: Wilshire
ST: Sunu, Murphy
Am I right about this?
February 18, 2008 at 8:25 am
i think you’re close, but i think the actual team would be:
———–Szczesny——————
–Eastmond—Bartley——-Cruise—-Evina
–Lansbury—Frimpong——-Wilshere—–Thomas
—————Sunu———–Murphy
However, sometimes players like ogogo, hoyte, rodgers etc may play to boost their fitness. sanchez watt could be played ahead of sunu perhaps.
February 18, 2008 at 3:09 pm
So Frimpong is defensive and Wilshire attacking?
February 18, 2008 at 4:48 pm
yeah, exactly
March 1, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Conor Henderson has been valued by Arsenal at £1million, as aparently Chelsea and Tottenham made inquiries for him
March 4, 2008 at 1:41 pm
do you cormac heegarty plays 4 the 16s
March 4, 2008 at 5:08 pm
do you know anything else about him?
March 5, 2008 at 12:42 pm
yh he goes to my school he has played a few games for irland
March 5, 2008 at 5:17 pm
what position does he play?
March 7, 2008 at 10:46 am
left back he has been injred lately but he told me he is back soon
March 15, 2008 at 11:58 am
is it true jason banton is back????
March 16, 2008 at 12:12 am
Jason Banton scored for Arsenal U16’s today
3-3 draw, as did Benik Afobe
April 18, 2008 at 5:35 pm
have u heard of someone with the second name glasgow
April 18, 2008 at 6:02 pm
yes, ben glasgow is a full-back for the under-16s
April 19, 2008 at 12:41 pm
is he good?
April 19, 2008 at 1:45 pm
he’s a decent player but very young so he needs to be given time
April 22, 2008 at 9:13 am
word on the streets says that this wee fella jack wilshere is pants-fillingly sensational. more titbits of succulent gossip on him please, including home vids uploaded to youtube and details of his exploits on the training pitch. word
April 22, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Deacon’s english not dutch
April 24, 2008 at 12:32 am
Wenger said that a couple of the U16s had nothing left to learn technically in his opinion, any idea who he mite have been talkin about?
Wilshire is great, he’ll go on to be a premier league player at the very least, but i think he easily has the potential to be a great Arsenal and England player, he just needs to keep progressing like he is. Whats great about him is hes the compleate package, great shot, great passer, can take men on and goes looking for the ball aswell, although his defencive attributes arent quite as impressing and at only 1.70m and quite slight i doubt hes physically ready for a first team start just yet, but hes not far off i dare say.
April 24, 2008 at 10:13 am
young gunz, i was referring to nacer barazite. i did a post a little while ago about who the players wenger was referring to. one of them is zack ansah, whilst the other is unknown but it could be anton morgan
June 10, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Ben Glasgow is a quick, mature right back or centre half with excellent tackling ability.
Has anyone heard of Josh Reece????
June 10, 2008 at 5:53 pm
i think you’re referring to josh rees, he’s a left-winger with an eye for goal.
June 10, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Josh Rees it it. Captain for Essex u14’s county side. Plays centre mid for them. How is he progressing for Arsenal??
And what about his centre midfield partner Callub Webb??
June 10, 2008 at 6:35 pm
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Callum Webb!!
June 10, 2008 at 7:43 pm
webb has excellent passing ability and has a fantastic work-ethic, whilst josh rees scored for arsenal in the nike cup.
July 2, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Is Tommy Twelves good
July 2, 2008 at 5:33 pm
he has potential but he is still very young so we’ll have to wait and see how things turn out.
July 2, 2008 at 5:34 pm
is he the best in his team and where does he play
July 2, 2008 at 6:27 pm
he is a midfielder but i have only seen him once so i’m not sure if he’s the best but he showed flashes of brilliance.
July 2, 2008 at 8:10 pm
what game did you see him play
July 3, 2008 at 4:11 pm
come zack ansah !!!!
July 10, 2008 at 9:04 pm
who is the best player in the under 14s
July 11, 2008 at 4:09 pm
at the moment i would have to say zack ansah, he is rated very highly.
July 19, 2008 at 9:17 am
who is the best player in the u13s?
