General Reserves Talk

[Vela]

The likes of Nigel Nieta and Jeffrey Monakana weren't even on the bench for the FA Youth Cup game and Chuba Akpom was. At least Arsenal picked the best team possible.

Joshua Rees has signed a pro deal by the way. It leaves Roberts, Charles-Cook, Wynter, Campbell, Glasgow, Bunjaku (if he is still here), Monakana, Bihmoutine all left as second-year scholars.

Think Cook, Wynter, Bihmoutine and Roberts will get pro deals.

I'm not convinced anyone mentioned in your post will make it to the first team, other than Chuba Akpom, who looks like he has a chance.

 

[Vela]

I'm not that convinced either but Arsenal have to offer some of them professional contracts for players in the Reserve team next season.

Arsenal Reserves are playing against Chelsea Reserves tomorrow at London Colney 1:05PM KO. It's live on Chelsea TV which means there will be a stream for it.

 

[DK Gooner]

Reserves were thrashed 4-0 by Chelsea.

I heard Lukaku was playing for Chelsea, did he tear sh*t up?

 

[Vela]

I watched the game, the scoreline didn't reflect how Arsenal played. Murphy wasted three good chances and hit the post. On another day he would of scored them. Meade could of scored as well.

Lukaku looked good at some points to good for the level.

Alban Bunjaku is on trial at #WHUFC after leaving Arsenal. A very talented, technical play-maker, but not with an attitude to match. Shame.

Still waiting to hear a bit more on that. I was following him (well - his football at least), and would genuinely like to know wtf happened.

Albaun Bunjaku has left Arsenal after not being provided with assurances regarding a professional contract. According to this link below.

I like the look of Bunjaku. His presence combined with Toral and that blonde kid can really open up the oppositions.

Interesting to see dan's and others' replies in that link. I'm not sure how much truth in their accuont. But if Alban is being this impatient, he clearly not loves Arsenal deep enough and should learn to sort himself out elsewhere.

Arsenal Reserves v Sunderland: Martinez, Hoyte, Miquel (c), Boateng, Hajrovic, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Yennaris, Eastmond, Ryo, Murphy, Park.

Meh, Sunderland scores from a set piece.

 

[goonerwarsh]

Meh, Sunderland scores from a set piece.

...glad to see it's not only the first team that are good at that trick

FT: Arsenal 0-2 Sunderland
What a bad result considering that Miquel, Ryo, Park and Chamberlain all played.

 

[Airknight]

Park played? how was he?

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

The Martin O'Neill Factor goes way beyond the first team it seems.

 

[Jbruin]

Miquel, Chamberlain, Ryo AND Park... And they lost?! How the ****? At least some one please tell me their GK had a wonder game and Park was awesome.

 

[Finnish_Gooner]

Park played? how was he?

I just followed the live "twitter news" and he had 2-3 chances but couldn't finish any of those.

 

[ferrarif50hunt]

How did such a strong side lost 2-0 at home to Sunderland?

 

[Airknight]

Maybe you already saw it, but here's a report
