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.

Jack and Gibbs aren't really our own produce either. Jack signed up from Luton (although to be fair he was about 9) and Gibbs signed up when Wimbledon collapsed. If you look at our handful of potential youth players that could make it, almost all of them have been signed up from elsewhere. Hardly any of them from North London. Makes you think has/is there a problem with our youth system, there are bound to be enough talented footballers.
Bloody hell, if 9yrs old doesn't class as one of our own, what does? - do they have to be conceived by Wenger? (if so, perhaps we should be scouting the rap community in Paris )

Might explain some of the signings from France Wenger has made over the past decade. Sanago springs to mind for some reason. It is also well known that he loved to visit the Ivory Coast!!

Maybe they need to be popped out at half time in the ground.

You've hit the nail on the head.
Better yet, let's make DB10Gooner our undercover Parisian Scout.
With his love of Hip Hop and all things Wenger, he would be the ideal man for the job.

Football Scout or Boy Scout?
If it's the former, he'll probably get injured.
If it's the latter, he'll probably get fucked by a British politician. Was ever thus.
