Match Thread: FA Cup 4th Round Plymouth Argyle v Liverpool

[Nineteenx]

Joe Gomez has hundreds of appearances and has won everything in the game playing under five or even six LFC managers. Kind of goes against your argument.

He’s just a wum don’t entertain him

Well Gomez was bought from Charlton and wasn’t a product of the Academy and why is no one mentioning Curtis Jones??

Was Gomez Rafa's last signing?

Apart from Saka and Skelly who else has come from Arsenals academy who's in their team now?
Smith Row moved to Fulham. Can't think of anyone else but I'm sure there's more.

Nwaneri is from their acadamy - 17 and looks utterly shit hot. ascored the last goal v City

Dowman is 15 and trains with the first team. A rare prospect. Year ahead of most at that age.

Ah yes forgot about him.

Firstly, either last season or the season before, Gomez was very close to leaving the club, and I'm not talking about leaving in a similar way to a Torres, Suarez or Coutinho. Secondly, just because a player has made a lot of appearances it doesn't mean they are 'top quality', even more so when a lot of those appearances are as a sub or because better, more reliable players are missing. Lucas Leiva played lots of games for us as a starter. Was he 'top quality' and good enough to justify all the appearances he made? I think we all know the correct answer to that question.

The Academy is a money maker for the club and if they produce first teamers all the better. It just so happens we produce more than most. Sorry Miller forgot about Curtis.

Great, a few million for FSG here and there, fantastic that Ian.

Rather have arsenals kids that's for sure, than be making some money.

Bradley aside but at 21, is he really still a kid?

I think that's what you lot aren't getting i'm talking about the recent youth.

We're currently 2nd from bottom in the under 18 league

it must be because we're too good. 20 pts behind utd in under 21s and sit 7th place.
