Is that a cardboard cut-out in the photo?!

 

I was amused, what they've actually done is only taken group pictures - the guy (presumably Matt Crocker) is at the side of the photo for all of them, so he looks really distorted when they blow it up to crop and use as a photo of just him.

I'm interested to know what's happening with Alberto Seidi

 

He's supposedly very highly rated, he's on our U21 profile, but it still says he's Portugal based

This suggests he's not here training with the other lads. If he's not on loan somewhere, then where is he?

Because this article is about academy scholars - 16 and 17 year olds to play for the under 18 team in the 2011/12 season. Seidi is already 18 years old (DOB 20/11/92) and that is why he is listed in the under 21 squad.

When you say "he's not here training with the other lads" do you mean with the academy or first team? Isn't he simply in the "U21 development squad" which sits between the academy and first team?

Anyone know anything about any of these lads?

 

Heard Jake Sinclair is apparently a cracking talent but not heard anything about any of the others really ?

 

Luke Shaw is very highly rated and apparently on Arsenal's radar.

 

Ward-Prowse is promising too.

 

Other than those two, and Sinclair, I've no knowledge of the players.

About the same average height as the Barcelona Champions League team I reckon.... ;-)

 

That would tie in with us being the new Barcelona. Another cracking decision from Cortese to base the averge height of our academy intake on the Barcelona First XI. Fantastic progress, we would never have done this under Lowe.
