Beckham

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Beckham

Post by clockender1 »

After just six games with the u16 has been promoted to u18 this week. He' s still 15...

Anyone seem him play ?

Being in mind who his dad is, there's been surprising little hype so far. Like most famous offspring I had assumed he wasn't going anywhere, but maybe not ?

You think he actually has a chance at the first team ?

If he gets a shot ahead of Dan Crowley just because of who his dad is, I'll be livid.

Nepotism at it's finest.

I like those two replies. Neither have seen him play yet you've slagged him off.

I like the fact all of Beckham's sons are Gooners. Good parenting

If he was from French West Africa and shit, he would have been playing in the first team by now.

Unfortunately, this is all we have to go by thus far. Hardly comprehensive, I know. :lol:

Nice pace and first touch.

I'm not sure that 30 yard cross field ball he received would be permitted in the first team though.

Hope the lad does well for us and if he's a Gooner even better.

Has he signed professional?

Yeah, help me out on that as well. My point is that Crowley is two years older, has been consistently a standout at his current level and deserves a shot before the Beckham kid.

The better player out of Crowley and Beckham Jr deserves the first team chance.
I do not care if a kid has been with us for 10 years or 10 minutes, I want the better player to be selected.
I do consistently write that I want homegrown kids to do well, but only if they are good enough!

^ It will be Crowley. He is our best youth player - better than Zelalem, who for some reason gets called up to the first team at times but Dan never is. That's ass backwards. But maybe we're just biding our time with Crowley.

Have to admit that I have never seen crowley play, but from the clips I have seen of zelalem he looks to have real quality 8)

Feast your eyes - plays like a more refined Wilshere.
