IN BRIEF.


WE SIGNED THIS 16 YR OLD FROM MADRID.

he looks like a eskimo. eskimo pussy is mighty cold

[cobain]

This is pretty ****ing exciting.

Add Bruna to a list of great young potential, notably Duran, Pacheco, Pourie, Nemeth...plus slightly more 'senior' players like Lucas and Insua. Fantastic work from Rafa and the scouting department.

SURELY one of the these, at least, will make the breakthrough...

Pourie is ****ing quality! Strong as an ox and always, always scoring goals. This lad will be huge!

His hairstyle is just wrong

[Robster007]

I begun to think that we have signed a lot of kids from all over the place in the hope that a couple will come through to the first team and even if they don't, a nice sell on fee wouldn't hurt.

That's how it works with recruiting youth though isn't it. Le Gems etc etc etc yawn

[Icon]

Is he a member of 5 or Blue or one of those other **** tit 'bands'?

I am still hopeful that Anderson and Hammill can make it, I would say the latter has more chance though, even though, I know it is likely to be wishful thinking from me.

It will probably be next season or never for both of them.

Not at the amount of kids we have signed over the past 18 months or so. We spent a bundle on the gems and put a lot of eggs in one basket. We probably have spent much less in recruiting a whole host of youth talent.

I doubt there is a club in Europe who has made such an effort in signing youth players from all over the planet.

[Mr Nike Top]

I've been impressed with the brief snippets I've seen of Astrit Ajdarevic, the Swedish midfielder. Does anyone know if he's expected to progress any further?

[andyinswinton]

Except for Arsenal

Arsenal started about 2 years before we did and I think they have spent serious money on young players to go straight into the first team.

I don't think they have bought as many young players for the reserves as we have.
