Arsenal Reserves & Youths

Maitland-Niles starting in Englands u20 World Cup group stage game.

He was on the bench for the first match against Argentina.

Oh good. Standard stuff tbh.

That’s a true shame for him.

Weren’t gonna make it here anyway. Always looked featherweight.

Bielik, Nwakali, Willock and Reine-Adelaide all reached an age where they should transition to the first team

Excellent
 Like them both and Reiss does seem our jewel atm.

No mention of Willock


No Malen :frowning:

Is he a defender?

They forgot the words ‘pre-season’ in that quote.

Not what I expected at all but it’s a really good move imo.

Why can’t we fucking sign him and loan him to Benfica, FFS?

what did it say?

Just that he’s off to Benfica (to play for their B team to start).

It makes no sense, lol! Why would we sell one of our best youngsters to play in a reserve team?

It’s not a sale, he’s out of contract and we couldn’t get him to re-sign, god knows why.

@Burgundy this is a pretty ridiculous thought but I thought of that supposed overheard meeting with Wenger/Gazidis in a hotel room when they reportedly said “Willock has no future here”. :grimacing: In the history of straw clutching that has to rank right up there but maybe there was something to that?
