Arsene Wenger has his own estimation of the value of any players that he really want. and he will not go over his own estimation of the top value for any players in the world just for the sake of getting the player he want

of course that just my opinion on how i see le Boss's behavior in transfer market

adebayor says he is happy and wants to stay.. again

tho to be fair, if he does instead stay, we dont need to buy another striker

any buyers for adebayor?

yea, the kids won their final. i am pleased that at least it worked out for them! the future is bright..its red and white! =) on to ade, i dun care if he wanna stay or go. seriously, i really dun care abt him anymore.

Our Academy's overall record in 2009:

W D L GF GA
21 2 0 64 22


Our Youth Cup run specifically (in which we played all three of the other Academy League group winners in Sunderland, Citeh, and Tiny Totts plus Pool and Villa):

W D L GF GA
8 0 0 25 8


Unbeaten in 2009. That is one h*ll of a youth team

and who says we didnt win anything this year? We won 6 trophies

the only things i like after the end of the season are
video compilations
and
transfer rumours

and waiting for the unveling of new away or home kit
World Cup or EURO (which only happens every 2 years... Sigh...)
Picking up season review DVD in Speedy
but the best is still

yeah, transfer romours
C. Ronaldo this, C. Ronaldo that... sick of it... but still its entertaining

yes, u r right
i beliebe he will purchase players accordingly if the price is right with the player's value

Those are really impressive numbers. Especially the GF and GA columns. However, I read a piece about West Ham's all-conquering youth side from the late 90s (or early 00s, I can't remember). That team was very much lauded like ours, but from that crop, only Joe Cole and Michael Carrick made the step up to the big time. The rest of them are either playing for lower-tier teams (Richard Garcia, Stephen Bywater), non-league teams while some have completely gone off the boil.

Point I'm trying to make is, don't expect too much from your youth squad. In the past we've only had Ashley Cole and recently Gibbs coming through (dammit enough leftbacks already!!). Wilshere has already made the step up but I'm not too confident the rest of them can.

fyi, there are lampard and rio ferdinand as well

clichy oso one of our youth product

Arsenal White Kit jersey for sale........

cesc is not exactly one of OUR youth products... i think the kids will do well. they(esp jack) impress me

Sorry bro... I was referring to the '99 WHU Youth Cup winning side. By that time, Lampard and Rio were establised first teamers already.

Well... Clichy and Cesc were poached from other clubs... But I suppose still can consider la... 1/2 mark

cesc came at the age of 15/16. clichy came at the age of 17.

we snapped/bought them.

still, coming at such a young age, our academy has some contributions on their development so they would be what they are now..

to date, we have only one that make through the rank (cole) and i believe gibbs will make it to the 1st team..

others, they play for other teams.. not bad for academy reputation i think.
bentley..sidwell..muamba..larrson..upson..to name a few..

Anyway..i am rooting Barcelona all the way tonight for this match no matter what.

Would love to see Henry to score some goals haha

yeah me too.. bobby said that if titi scores, he might dedicate it to arsenal. =) tears..

i only want to see Titi hold the Big Ears. if he's not playing, i could not be bothered who win tonight

but of course come 2.45, i'll be in front of my tv to watch the final

I hope the ex gunners will score. Sylvinho, Henry or Hleb if they got to play. Sorry to say, I do like Man Utd to win. Because especially my friends is going to boast around. Evra had been speaking a lot lately. Lets see what he can do

hail de catalunia..hehehehe
cmon barca...
tonight 4 sure all the manu rival fan will support barcelona..
and 4 sure barca is my 2nd team la..hehe

diaby playing or not?

hehehehhe.. cabut.....................
