I can't be arsed with any more of this bollocks, I'm off out on the piss.

Good post. It seems people are envious of Wenger's achievements at Arsenal yet don't want to see the same set up implemented here. Strange. Iz becoz we canna parayde dem lyek. If dey not heard of dem den they must be shit innit?! seems like deja vue here. Under Souness we were told that it was fine to clear out the bad eggs because Alex Ferguson did, now we are being told its OK buying a load of 17 year olds because Arsene Wenger has. Quite incredible the complete rubbish that people get suckered into believing, and all because the fat bastard ate all their pies or something......... Not to mention, that Bobby Robson has been down the same path and didn't match Wenger ie Bramble, Ambrose, Viana, Gavilan, Cort, Cordone, Jeanarse, Lua Lua, Bassedas, O'Brien.............. his best buys for the club being Woodgate, Bellamy and Robert by a country mile. N'Zogbia wasn't a bad signing and half of those you mentioned were not signed by going down the same path. Interesting people are now saying how good zoggy is, they should have listened to me 3 years ago. The players above were all signed with the future in mind, or for cut prices in accordance with what the manager thought in the same was as Wenger has done. Please explain why you think following this path is a sure fire winner. Because I'll tell you something, it isn't. It means absolutely nothing, when almost all of these players will fall by the wayside. You need quality players now not for the future and if you pursue a penny pinching hope of reaching the top levels of the game, and I have never seen a manager ever who has done this as well as Arsene Wenger. Of course, it is the height of incompetence if our ex board - or the current one - can't find the new Wenger, and for that they should all get our heartiest condemnation for it. I don't think going down this path is a sure fire winner but I think it is a good policy providing it is not our only policy which I'm sure it isn't. This policy is to complement the first team transfer policy, I'm almost sure of that but it just so happens that January is poor time for buying quality players as hardly any clubs are willing to let go of their players, there is no point buying a player now that we don't really want or need long term. If come the summer time we don't go out and sign any proven quality and continue with only this youth policy then that is the time to shout down Ashley and Mort and be very worried.

I know.

Gonna have exactly the same problem in summer then. Most clubs are very reluctant to let any players go during the January window, the summer window is totally different.

As I've already said, all his stats are totally random and set at '0'.

All his attributes and stats are set at random apart from his position.

Cacapa has scored a couple, Beye scored one, Viduka against West Ham.

Just going to help Keegan out for a while, will get on with things while Keegan is working on other things, someone Keegan knows and trusts.
