Levante are going to the Europa league after a good season. I hope Pedro Botelho will stay with them 1 more season to experience playing in the european stage

Joel Campbell played 81 minutes against Marseille the other day in a crucial game to stay away from the relegation zone. He helped them win 2-1, fairly earning a penalty and looking dangerous throughout. He's also not scared of physical defending, which bodes well for transitioning to English footy. His highlights are here:

I'm really excited about Joel. He might be great off the bench next year, if he can get his work permit

He's a real sharp prospect too, he improved a lot this season and he will be a good addition to our squad. His development will be fun to watch like ryo

I'd be curious to hear some opinions and debate on Ozyakup. His touch, distribution, and positioning have been masterful this year for the reserves. I suspect that next season is a really important one for Ramsey because Ozyakup is hot on his tail for time at ACM. For Ozzie next year I expect 1/2 season with arsenal starting in CC games and then a spring loan to an EPL team. If he really hits the weights this summer then maybe he could even stick around arsenal all year. He needs to improve his strength and tenacity but he has vision and passing ability in excess combined with an impressive work rate. Me gusta

He's looks good in the highlights I've seen but it's hard to tell when you don't see full games. Think a loan spell would be good and help us see how developed he is

SKool (Arsenal) 3 weeks ago

Serge Gnabry, the one for the future. :)

MrFickles (Arsenal) 3 weeks ago

Gnabry and Ozyakup have been the youth/reserves players of the year, IMO. Gnabry is just a young pup so he needs time, although he has tremendous lower body strength which might mean that he'll be physically ready for the big time sooner than some others. I really like his style though. He's very direct (always looking to be dangerous) but he also always has his head up and is a willing passer. He's fun to watch. Thanks for posting

Miyaichi for Bolton vs Swansea

CWDProds

He had a tough game. Swansea's LB is very fast and played him extremely tight. Ryo also had almost no support when he got the ball

Riglore (Arsenal) 3 weeks ago

Cheers for that. Watching Ryo develop is gonna' be heaps of fun

There's no like button so.... *clicks imaginary Like button*

Haha. Yeah, it would be nice if there were 'like' buttons here. Thanks for your comment, GunningThruLife

The nextgen series will be a big stepping stone for our young gunners (and also for other great youngsters out there). Another way to help improve progression to the young ones.

And I hope Campbell gets his WP sorted out too

MrFickles (Arsenal) 4 weeks ago

Pedro Botelho is a very interesting prospect. Are there some La Liga fans that have thoughts on him? He has quietly had an impressive spring on loan at Levante, who have had a good year (currently 5th). He can play LB or left wing. I think he is at his best at left mid in a 442 formation, which likely means his future is elsewhere. That being said, he actually plays a little like Gibbs. I'll be interested to see if he and Campbell are awarded work permits this summer. I've been impressed with Botelho's progress and we don't really have a LB prospect close to the first team. His future is probably in Spain though, as we have super-utility man Coquelin to back-up Gibbs and Santos

Bothelo made it clear that he wants to play in the EPL with his parent club (AFC). Also he's playing for Rayo now after he barely got time at Levante so yeah

Imo I think bothelo is to similar to Santos and AW was waiting on his WP but then 8-2 happened and Ottewille emerged from our youth ranks too so that leaves Bothelo in a bit of a limbo :$

SKool (Arsenal) 4 weeks ago

Looks like we should not let any of our youngsters go to Levante. First was wellington silva, and then Pedro. Both barely played

But yeah if his WP gets accepted, or he gets his Spanish Citizenship(which he must have by now), then well have him, other wise he might be sold

MrFickles (Arsenal) 4 weeks ago

Actually Pedro was with Rayo Vallecano last fall (2011) and then was caught drunk driving in Madrid which ended his loan spell there. Levante agreed to take him on loan this spring (2012) and he has been used there now to some good effect (that penalty he conceded against Barca was a bad call). Apparently he's done really well in training with them and has been used by them in some very important games. I've seen him play a few times for Levante and he has definitely improved. He's a bit of a flier. Feisty with skills, a decent passer but very, very one-footed

SKool (Arsenal) 4 weeks ago

Lmao, only now that I heard about the drunk driving incident. No wonder the loan spell changed

Realmcoy (Arsenal) 3 weeks ago

I saw him playing against sevilla on the weekend. He looked good offensively and defensively too, but i'd love to see his talent displayed in the EPL. He has the right build and he would be a good understudy for Gibbs and Santos. I hope he gets promoted to the 1st team squad like coquelin did at the start of this season

Here's a link to game with Lorient and Montpellier (It's in French btw). Campbell's goal was well finished but he can improve much more on his overall game.... His 1st chance was shocking lol

SKool (Arsenal) 1 month ago

Cracking goal by Campbell. More of the same please

MrFickles (Arsenal) 1 month ago

Woohoo! Highlights from Newcastle v Arsenal reserves game featuring the game winner from Thomas Eisfeld in a 0-1 victory. Enjoy!

Ozyakup looks the real deal, so composed on the ball and has the ability to make any pass.
That looked like a real tough game, glad the boys pulled through.
And congrats to Eisfeld, good finish there

Does Jon Toral play as a Holding midfielder?

MrFickles (Arsenal) 1 month ago

Well, Toral is very young so we'll see how he develops but I'd say he's more of a box-to-box midfielder

SKool (Arsenal) 1 month ago

He holds both Spanish and English nationality, yes. Spanish national team or england team?

Sn3kyn00b (Arsenal) 1 month ago

I thought he played as an attacking mid

SKool (Arsenal) 1 month ago

Judging form that video below, imo I see him as a half holding mid, and half center mid. In comparison to out first team, I would say its Song/jack wilshere(deep midfield role). Toral is not like rosicky or arteta

Sn3kyn00b (Arsenal) 1 month ago

Check out where he recieves the ball though, it's usually in the opponent's half.... Plus driving runs with the ball, movement off it.... He'd be like a playmaker in central mid with the license to make forward runs/support the forwards

Plus on the arsenal website it does say he is a ".... Left-footed creative midfielder who likes to play just off the strikers", and that he ".... Also has an eye for goal and his late runs into the penalty area see him on the scoresheet regularly". Timmy cahill?

Cloudst (Arsenal) 1 month ago

Jon Toral? Cesc Fabregas role in basic terms

Sn3kyn00b (Arsenal) 1 month ago

^ yeah I thought so :3

MrFickles (Arsenal) 1 month ago

You can't tell yet exactly how a player his age will develop and Arsenal likes for their youngsters to have versatility so that they aren't pigeon-holed to a single role. He's definitely a skilled, creative player but he's also more feisty in the tackle than Fabregas was. Box2box? ACM? Yes, he does both. And no, he's nothing like Tim Cahill.

What does :3 mean? Is it a symbol that shows how pleased you are with yourself? Hmmm, maybe it's a cat face

Type it in on facebook chat. It's squidface
