[football]The Future is so bright, I gotta wear shades!

[G.K Zhukov]

As a Gooner, I gotta say that our youth policy seems to be paying dividens soon:

Future players who is possible candidates for playing in the first team:

Goalies:
Vito Mannone, born 1988. Picked up from Atalanta.

Defenders:
Matthew Connolly, born 1987.
Johan Djourou, born 1987. Picked up together with Senderos.
Justin Hoyte, now on loan to Sunderland

Midfielders:
Sebastian Larsson, born 1985.
Fabrice Muamba, born 1988.
Alexandre Song, born 1987. Picked up from Bastia (on loan, with the option to buy)
David Bentley, on loan to Blackburn.
Ryan Smith, born in Islington \o/

Strikers:
Quincy, picked up from Ajax.
Nicklas Bendtner, born 1988. Picked up from FC Copenhagen.
Arturo Lupoli, born 1987. Picked up from Parma.

I wouldnt be suprised if half of these manage to take the step up to the first team, and atleast 1/3 making it to become stable fist-11 players.

And then there is ofc Fabregas, Van Persie, Eboue, Flamini and Clichy.
