Carling Cup side has three world class players (12/11)

usual thread starter… what I’d like to see is some of these youngsters given more of a chance in the first team when the regulars have lost form. Just one or two at a time, but give them a chance – they are patently good enough. Might expand on this for an online ed before the weekend, time allowing.

Smiles all round!

Can’t stop smiling... the boys done good! Next few months will certainly be interesting who’s going to make the jump? Especially if injuries and fatigue start playing a role in our title push (God forbid) of cause we already knew of the talent processed by this group of players but the way in which they dismantled a Premiership team with such ease has moved them up a peg from promising youngsters to 1st team challengers!

Wenger will blend kids in slowly, so as not to cause stress fracture injuries and minor bone fissures from overplaying at too early an age.

Like to see the kids get regular chance as subs though.

I too thought Jay Simpson will be the kind of player to have a good career but away from Arsenal, but just maybe he will come through as he offers an outlet, good off the ball runs.

Jay Simpson's joy at scoring his first senior goal for Arsenal was one of the many highlights of last night, the runs he makes are excellent but for me he has that uncoachable talent of being in the right place at the right time, I hope he makes it with Arsenal.

And I'd like to see Vela in for Adebayor or the unnecessarily arrogant van Persie. Carlos is just amazing and No 3 was a 'goal of the season' contender.

It's 3-0 to the Spuds at SHL as I write, so a chance for revenge coming up, maybe? :twisted:

Ramsey is definitely worth calling up if we are short. He should get run outs as sub if we ar winning games comfortably. I wouldnt be too worried if Gibbs gets a chance either, but this would only be due to a Clichy injury which we dont need.

Possibly Wilshere but still a bit young.

Definitely Vela who is/ will be as good as Torres.

Not totally convinced about Randall yet. He might fall into the "too arrogant" category at times, and seems to have a bit of a nasty side. He played a few amazing passes the other night though!
