Arsenal U23s & U18s Thread

[RealGunner]

IIRC Chris Willock was getting hyped few months back for some reason. Might be the one to watch out for.

Hinds is a new name to me. But will keep an eye on him.

guys anyone else disappointed in jack jebb racism

the youth team has lots of Black Players and for him to do such is just going to bring lots of discontent

really sad

jebb played in the last game. I don't know what to think really, not sure I agree with what the fa thinks constitutes "abuse", so regardless of him being found guilty, I would reserve judgement until knowing what actually happened.

Maitland-Niles trains with first-team

Kaylen Hinds played the full 80 minutes for England U16s tonight. Looked strong and athletic, but had a really unlucky night in front of goal; he had about eight attempts on goals, one of which hit the post, another which was a missed penalty and decent amount which were met with miracle blocks or saves. To his credit, he kept going. On another night he would have had a hat-trick.

apparently Bellerin was impressive vs Wolves Under 21

Bellerin always is

He's probably one loan spell away from the first team.

Sky Sports understands Arsenal have won the race to sign highly-rated Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Matt Macey.

I assume the 18 year old GK will play with our U21/U18.

Brighton & Hove Albion are reportedly at the front of the queue to land Arsenal defender Tom Dallison.

The 17-year-old centre-back only joined the Gunners from West Ham United last year but Sky Sports News report that he is desperate for first-team football and already wants to move on.

Dallison has been training with the Seagulls over the past week, but his agent Alex Levick remained tight lipped about the youngster's future.

"Tom is training with Brighton, that is all we can confirm at this stage," Dallison's agent Alex Levack told Sky Sports News.

"We can't comment on his future."

Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Reading, Watford, Wolves and Sheffield United are also believed to be interested in Dallison.

Crowley and zelalem back training

[RealGunner]

Jon Toral is back

[Sina]

^Great!

[urbaNRoots]

Zelalem is back aswell but it's still not known if he'll feature against Chelsea in League Cup (arseblog).

[Sina]

shame probably this comes too early for him
who cares about defence
i would have liked to see all Toral,Zelalem and Crowley starting all together

[DuringTheWar]

If Chelsea is too early for zelalem I hope we have a dead rubber champions league game that he can play, but it doesn't look like that will be the case this year. If we get knocked out by Chelsea hopefully he can get some fa cup games after jan

Crowley in squad for Dortmund in 2 days

[RealGunner]

wow

[Sina]

how far our team is expected to go in this comp?

[Jay29]

The U19s drew 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund's in the UEFA Youth League. We gave up a two goal lead. Lipman and Toral scored for us.

The team was:

Iliev; Bellerin, O'Conner, Pleguezuelo, Ormonde-Ottewill; Kamara, Olsson; Maitland-Niles, Zelalem, Toral; Lipman

Bench: Vickers, Siemann, Moore, Jebb, Crowley, Iwobi, Hinds

Toral was apparently very impressive.

[RealGunner]

Toral <3

Interestingly its 11 games into the season and the u18 team have only won once this season, that was the first game

[RealGunner]

Nigerian U17 wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho's agent: "The thought of him following in the footsteps of the GREAT KANU has a nice ring to it."

Kelechi Iheanacho's agent: "I can confirm that Arsenal FC's Steve Rowley, acknowledged his talents and has said nice things about him."

[RealGunner]

Arsenal U-21s v Villa: Macey, Yennaris, Ajayi, Pleguezuelo, Ormonde-Ottewill, Hayden, Frimpong, Toral, Eisfeld, Gnabry, Afobe

Not familiar with macey and Ajayi
