He must be this years intake  - it would be great if he made it to the first team.

I want Umit Eminoglu to make it from the kids. Proper exotic footballers name.

Didn't he used to play Sophie off of Home and Away?

And our under 21s and scholars:

Henry Cowans?  Is he related to Sid?

His son, I believe.

No fan pressure of expectation on him then!

[Hookeysmith]

Never knew Mark Delaney was working for the club on the acadamy coaching side - fair play to him

And the squad cannot be right - stated on radio today that Stan has been given the 20 shirt - that cannot be right either or we have been applauding a minute to early

Why has Stan  got no 20? I thought 19 was a special number to him.

He hasn't, he's just the 20th name on the list, alphabetically.

Where is Cowans? Can't see him on the squads?

[johncvilla88]

he's in the under 21s and Scholars

[supertom]

Love that. It's something that needs to happen more. Arsenal only have 7. Though in the FA's rules, the definition of home grown isn't restricted to brit born of course. I do like that we've got a good core of British players, alongside promising foreign players.
