Welcome George Lewis

[Rex Stone]

Big signing across the line, King Edu at it again.

Gotta have that Cohen Bramall signing every summer.

Love how nearly every new signings and players linked to us are good on the ball, including defenders. (Not counting contract extension)
With Arteta, I’m sure we will have our beautiful football back.

Our 2nd recent signing of similar age for the U23. It makes sense, they come in, make it to the 1st team or sell on for a profit. We cant get them all in at age 12 so this looks a good decision to me.

 

[Furious]

Tf is the Academy subforum for?

 

[Macho]

Signing teenagers who have been released purely on stats alone makes me not want to care. Was this the approach with Lewis? I know that is how we got Dinzeyi and Akinola.

 

[Camron]

Big signing across the line, King Edu at it again.

Has the eyes of a man who two-foots Bruno/Jorginho when they perform their stupid penalty dance.

Welcome aboard.

How do you even find players in the Norwegian third division. That’s some deep scouting

I read somewhere his agent shopped him about getting him trials at a number of clubs for quite a while. The cynic in me says theres a Rwanda connection so... Feels a bit Park Chu-young

 

[krackpot]

this was in the pipeline since a long time I think. Glad we finally got him.

Purely a signing to strengthen the U23s. Coyle going on loan, Nelson and Saka pretty much first team squaddies etc....

I expect this guy to do reasonably well for the U23s, maybe get a loan in the EFL and sold on for a profit. He looks very direct and an exciting dribbler so I'd imagine he'll be relatively popular. This guy, Akinola and Dinzeyi are signings purely as punts for the U23 team with the potential for more. I'd expect very little from them in terms of first team output but it will be interesting to see how they complement the homegrown talents. Lewis will be a good dovetail if Sam Greenwood becomes the #9 (and Balogun leaves). Likewise I can see an Akinola-Azeez partnership in midfield doing pretty well. Not sure where Dinzeyi fits into all of this but he'll be of interest aswell. U23 team is shaping up nicely for the season.

Um..........
Great, I’m sure he’d be a good player.

I know it gives you nightmares but;

1. Football is allowed to be played more than one way
2. Wingers are allowed to be direct, it's part of what makes them dangerous!!!

In Lewis' case there is hope that he is more than likely to be a hit. Sources close to the academy said he was the best player on the pitch during the sessions he was involved in. Fulfil that promise and he will go some way to justifying Arsenal's more aggressive approach to youth recruitment.

As I said - relatively popular.

You can see were were t to get in some low risk youth signings to either promote or make profit from.

Bundesliga do this really well
