n-n-n- n- nineteen ...the average age

[Rayleigh boy]

of a US infantryman serving in Vietnam and the average age of Wengers
Arsenal team last night ....

seems sort of topical at SUFC the moment - how far can we go with the young
players ..?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Disneyland?

 

[MrB]

Thailand??

 

[Rayleigh Weir]

They're all overage, so 'all the way' if you're so inclined...

You've got to take your hat off to Wenger who is prepared to give his talented youngsters a competitive game rather than rely on his usual players.
Average age of the starting eleven was 19 with the youngest only 16 and with another 16 year old on the subs bench.:)

 

[Beefy]

The thing with that Arsenal team though are that they are both young and brilliant.

I'm no Arsenal fan but I'd love to see them win the lot this year.

Don't give him too much credit, he just does not care about the competition and he see's it as a chance to see how the youngsters get on in a 1st team game. He would never do it in a meaningless league game. but i will give him credit for his knowledge of the market, but he seems to tire of some of his young talent. Bentley for one. under wenger bentley would have replaced beckham ages ago.

Bentleys ego preceeds him ? Micah Richards pushed down to under 21's though seems a strange decision

 

[Skyblue]

I bet it wasn't Sheffields 1st eleven though. But that wouldn't have made such good headlines.

It was Wenger who sold a young Bentley to Blackburn, having failed to give him much in the way of first team opportunities at Arsenal.

 

[Beefy]

Bentley isn't anywhere near good enough to get into the Arsenal first team. Wenger saw that and moved him on (for a huge fee after the 25% sell-on).

 

[A Century United]

Sheffields team, with ratings by Slipperduke:

SHEFFIELD UNITED

Paddy Kenny 4, Greg Halford 4, Gary Naysmith 4, David Cotterill 4 (Kyle Naughton 4), Chris Morgan 3, Matthew Kilgannon 3, James Beattie 3 (Jordan Robertson 4), Danny Webber 4, Gary Speed 5 (Lee Hendrie 4), Nick Montgomery 3, Stephen Quinn 4

Pretty much the first team.
