Arsenal's feeder clubs

YeahBee

Terrible hot takes
I just stumbled upon

Arsenal F.C.[edit]
On wikipedia

But no information on arsenal.com

What is the nature of the collaboration?

Why not a deeper collaboration with a higher status club, for easy loans that benefits our youngsters AND the recieving club?



Especially now that workpermits probably will get harder to get due to Brexit

What is the FA saying about that btw? will the rules change again?

Having a club like CSKA or Sparta Prague as a feeder club could be very beneficial for youth development or work permit restricted players.

Seems like theres not much to bring up regarding feeder clubs but I think the thread deserves at least a reply.

Could be seeing premier league clubs looking to South America for feeder clubs after brexit, could really change the game.

I'm not a fan of feeder clubs in the same continent but it would be good to have feeder clubs in Africa and South America.

From Wiki about Beveren

Arsenal controversy
Between 2001 and 2006, the club had a co-operation agreement with English Premier League club Arsenal. Several players were loaned between the teams and friendlies played. The agreement expired on 1 July 2006.

Subsequent to an investigation by BBC Television's Newsnight, FIFA requested the English Football Association investigate the relationship between the two clubs.

In 2001, Belgian police concluded that a loan of over €1.5 million had been made by Arsenal to the company Goal, which helped secure Beveren's financial position. Newsnight have alleged this may breach club ownership rules under FIFA regulations. The accusation is refuted by Arsenal, who state that the payment was an interest free loan and has no effect on the administration of the club.[1] The FA and FIFA cleared both clubs of any wrongdoing.[2]

Several players have been loaned between the two clubs or had trials. Only Emmanuel Eboué completed a permanent move between the clubs in this time period, from Beveren to Arsenal.

Never heard of this. An interest free loan you say...That was nice of us :rolleyes::lol:
