The best player produced in the Wenger era by far was Ashley Cole and we flogged him for a bag of crisps and the worst captain in living memory for the sake of 5k per week
Can add JET to that list now plying his trade with Bristol City, which is about his level to be fair

Afobe now bought into the U 21 squad- not saying much given that Sanogo is captain of the French U21s :?

Akpom off to Hull on loan, will be interesting to see how he gets on there.

Meanwhile the guy I am excited about, Daniel Crowley is off to Barnsley on loan. Last AFC player that went there though ended up in Russia :lol: :oops: :oops: -

Here is a compilation from last season

I had to watch that video twice because the first time I was utterly stunned at how SHIT our youth forwards are. :shock:

That was embarrassing :oops: :oops:

Crowley looks a real talent and I hope to see him in the first team soon. He looks better than Wilshere did at that age.

Agree, like what I have seen of Crowley, great vision and can take a mean free kick too
Better than Wilshire, I'm not sure, loved Jack as a youngster, his goal v West Ham (youth team ?) was reminiscent of Brady at his best

I think Crowley''s movement off the ball and vision off the ball is better than Wilshire's.

I hope Crowley makes it through.

Chuba done well so far on loan, two goals in two games. Shouldn't of loaned him and Sanogo out, after we have our usual injury list will need either of the two.
