Of what benefit is it if you groom kids for 2, 3, 4 years and then he gets snapped up by another club willing to spend money? What makes this more likely to happen is the fact that a lot of these kids are from foreign countries, they get an offer from a club in their home country and find it irresistible. I think Arsenal cannot go beyond this peak if they continue with this policy. I really think Arsenal is gradually becoming a feeder team for the top clubs in the world.

Apparently Fabianski didn't have any problems the whole night, which is a little bit of a shame because i wanted to see what he can do. Good match practice for Djourou though - we're gonna need him during the league games if the Toure/Gallas thing keeps fucking things up. As for the Bendtner critics i think the guy will be phenomenal if given more chances. He's just fantastic on the headers & playmaking abilities. I expect him to replace Adebayor up front once he fucks off to some other club end of next season. I would have liked to have seen the whole match to see how well we did defensively.

With the first team squad already very young, no all may make it to the first team of Arsenal. Yes, i am not siding my club but i know thats the case. I must also say United did not threatened us must, cause if we had gone a goal down we might be in trouble. Dont be too overhyped just yet.

It has been happening for at least 2 years now. Very early to say anything. Having said that it was a good performance but the match was not shown live, we saw only the goals and not the whole match. Again very difficult to judge.............. Its only one game and frankly magnificent performances in the Carling Cup is nothing new to Arsenal. It has been happening for at least 2 years now.

One game means nothing... I want to see at the end of the season if these youngsters keep on producing the goods. If they do - then check success, if not, add this season to the long list of misses by Wenger. And about "home-grown," including young superstars from every country in the world into Arsenal is not home-grown. F.ex. Vela has spent 4 months (May-Sept) in England with Arsenal and two years loaned out --- not grown at home, I would say. Lastly, I think that Arsenal's youthful attacking football is lacking at least one thing to ensure success, namely physicality. Against any quality side (see last years demolishing by Tottenham) these lads cannot stand their ground. Nonetheless, they play exciting football that is a joy to watch for neutrals, but I bet Arsenal fans want more than ephemeral glitter. Maybe sustained silverware would be better?

If Eduardo gets fit and back to his best and Wenger has him, Adebayor, Van Persie and Vela to choose from up front, Gooners will wonder what all the fuss was over them making no 'big name' summer signings. Bendtner isn't up to it though and I expect him to go the way of Aliadiere and eventually get sold to a lesser team - probably boro. Vela really looks the business to me already.
