Obi had monster numbers... the question is if he can translate it to grownups level...
Our online fanbase are absolute melts. Sort of people who don’t have jobs but are having a go at a 16 year old kid.
Funny old game, football. Cottrell's a good technician but injuries really scuppered him, along with the fact that we seemingly had 0 plan in terms of a loan progression for him. Very much seemed like an afterthought, in the same way that Matt Smith & Catalin Cirjan did for quite a while until they turned 20. We've got to get more proactive with players like this, even if we don't think they'll make first team quality. Glad to see he's playing somewhere though, hopefully he can carve out a career as he's pretty talented. Hope a few of our other recent graduates can turn it around.So this just happened:
Former Gunner moves to Slovakian first tier
Former Arsenal academy midfielder has signed for Slovakian first-tier side Zemplin Michalovce, turning down offers from the English lower leagues before making the move.dailycannon.com
Zemplin Michalovce are sitting comfortably 6th in the Slovak League not too far off from EL/ECL qualification places (the ones where you need to play a bunch of preliminary rounds) but I don't see them pushing the current TOP 3/4 so it's definitely an interesting move from him carreer wise.
Mind, I don't know his level so he might just be after the big fish in a small pond kind of deal here.
The town of Michalovce is about an hour drive from where I live and they will also visit my local team after the winter break so I'll definitely keep an eye on the fixture list and will try to catch a game when he plays.
Football, eh?
Always had that ability. People thought he couldn't do that because he's little but that boy is an ox. Tough kid. Reckon this finally kickstarts his season in the Championship. Brighton have got a serious gem. He'll be playing PL football next season.He showed great strength against a very strong Luton player. Used his physique very well to shield the ball and get the shot off.
