great strike. we'll never hear from him again now.
great name, though.
the irony of a youth player, signed as a feotus, scoring against arsenal, the football incubator (c). oh! the irony.

The biggest load of bollocks is that myth, imo. Judging from his first-team squad, Wenger's youth policy appears to be to poach 20-year olds from French clubs after they've developed them and they've broken through. For quite a lot of money too. Then when they don't win anything to offer the excuse that they've a young team. He's a spoofer. To randomly select a player Wenger has developed....hmmm, Joe O'Cearuill maybe? Last seen not getting a game for St. Pats.

Anyway, Rose's goal, I love how Clive Tyldesley describes it as a "memorable goal". Understatement of the year.

quite so. although david bentley has done okay, hasn't he? you could almost put out a premiership xi of players that wenger let go on the cheap. they'd probably beat his current lot.

of course, i'd have to think about that, and i can't be bothered.

Lets see, Gael Clichy, was 16 when he moved from third division Cannes on a free transfer. Abou Diaby, moved from Auxerre when he was 20 so you've got me there, for a staggering £2 million, oops. Nasri, signed for a lot yes, but was 22 and already a French international with 121 league games played, not really part of a youth policy I don't think you could say. A million for then 18 year old Alex Song. Traore, signed on a free from Monaco aged 16 having never played for them. Other French players in the squad like Gallas, Sagna and Silvestre were all grown ups when they arrived and a pseudo Frenchmen like Djourou has been at Arsenal since he was about 15, his first senior club and all.

If you want to say that Arsenal pay big for broken through kids then you have to look to the British ones, I dunno how much with the installment we've forked over for Walcott but lets say it's ten million plus at this point, and we paid 5 mill for Ramsey.
