Youth Hit Out

[LDN Blue 7,903]

It shows that he can do well in the fizzy pop leagues, but is useless in the Premier league.

Fair enough.

I hope we do see him in the Premier League next season, I hope he proves you wrong too

Mancienne set for Hamburg.

He is having a medical on tuesday and signing a 4-year contract.They will pay us 3.5 million Euros.

Can't find any English site.

So,another young player out without being given a proper chance.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Happy for him.

He's worked hard for a permanent club. Arnesen's the only person who realises the potential of these players.

No, that's good decision.

He had his chance to prove his worth at Wolves, all he proved is he isn't good enough for Chelsea.

We over rate our youth so much. We expect managers to play youth, that we don't get to see train everyday etc and also expect results - It just can't work like that. If the player is good enough they will play à la Josh McEachran.

Very true.

But we need to see more progress though. Most definitely.

Why does Arsenal play their youth when they are no better than ours ?

I didn't say a manager should play youth consistently and at the same time expect results.That is nonsense.

But we could have used this bad season to try some of them,give them more playing time and see who is good enough.

What an incredibly stupid answer. They play there youth, everyone respect them for that...Why? Cos I really have no idea. Where has playing there youth got them? I'd rather be a club that is winning, than a club that is producing youth.

Philosophy of the club, simple as that.

[Madmax 9,219]

More than philosophy, it's the moment we're in as a club. Taken over by a billionaire 7 years ago with huge pressures and expectancy to fill up the trophy cabinet ASAP i.e get us on par with the established order in the league and Europe. No manager will gamble too much with youth because of this pressure.

And like sam said, whoever is good enough, will make it. Doubt Cork (as much as I like him) would have ever progressed beyond a squad role here. Mancienne and Sinclair showed they're not good enough for a club that looks to be in the top 2 minimum every year. Really gutted about Borini though, the lad deserved a chance.

Very well said. Not everyone in the academy is meant to be our next star, they've got to earn it. Sure this system has its problems but it's the same for everyone. So in that sense it's fair. You need to take your chance or it's gone.

You would expect us to give a chance to young player to play in PL while we are battling for a CL place? Sorry, but with our youth policy that could've never happened.

[dave30 728]

i agree completely ^ ^ ^ we had a number of nothing games towards the end of the season and the youth were still refused chances
