Bradley

Was surprised to learn he was 20. The way they go on about him assumed he was about 16. Looks a good player though

Arteta holds a grudge against youth systems after being snubbed by Barca as a kid

God, Chelsea are useless!
Two players worth a combined circa £221 million in their midfield yet Liverpool are playing through them with ease.

The funny thing is that they are sweating on Walters signing a new deal when he can go off to the likes of Dortmund and get game time playing at a high level.
I gave up on Arteta and promoting youth after the PSV debacle in Holland.

He just set up the third. Good thing for Trent he's moved to midfield.

Apparently we are selling Lino Sousa to Aston Villa, given the problems we've had at left back to not even get a look in at some point you've got to ask some questions of Arteta and his ability to bring through talent into the first team.

It's.a tough one because without us actuallt seeing them being given a chance at this level, you have to trust that Arteta isn't seeing enough from them to be sure that they can handle the highest level, and at the end of the day his number one priority is results.

I understand the argument that Arteta has had opportunities to give them that chance and refused, but if they're getting chances in meaningless games or when the game is won, what are we really learning about them? No one saw this coming from Bradley when he played a meaningless game against USG.

We have some good youngsters, Quansah looks an excellent prospect and I was really impressed with Mconnell when he played last week

Yeah agree. Arteta is here over 4 years and he didn't promote not a single youth player in a first team.
