Fucking hell why do people get fucked off about us signing young talent, that ain't the problem, it's not signing quality, these lads have nothing to do with it.

Welcome to the Arsenal Mr Campbell, let's hope you have the same success as your namesake, and wind up the y*ds just as much.

He cant get a work permit for this season, because he doesnt have the appearance rate and we wasted our yearly application on Ryo. Anyone getting "excited" over this is a fucking fool.

Anyway, lets hope Moyes can size up him next summer and dump him if hes not upto scratch.

Because signing lads like this and Ox cube are first team signings as far as the manager is concerned.

Welcome to Arsenal Joel!

Just need 2 or 3 more players and we'll be ok this season. Always believe

That's not the players' fault, thats the managers. Blame the manager all you like but at the end of the day when these players put on the red and white, they'll get my full backing as long as they're 100% committed.

i understand your point and agree with you mate, but you have to agree with me that it's at least bizarre that exactly when we desperatly need quality in the first team we buy 4 players but 3 of them are teenagers... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

are you sure about this mate? can we only ask for one special talent visa per year???

EDIT: here it says you're wrong mate, but i don't know if the source is trustworthy either: http://gunnerblog.com/2011/08/12/joel-c ... on-sunday/

Good luck to him...but I just cannot get excited about any Wenger signing these days. It feels like re-arranging the deck chairs whilst the ship is going down.
