Are we a nursery club for Arsenal??

[Harry Holmesdale]

Ashley Cole on loan started it, now Taylor on loan, Vernazza trained last week with us, I know we got Black & Gray permanent, but I do find all these loan signings and players training with us a worry.

Remember 4th biggest club in London........

You have a point Harry, but to be honest I don't care at the moment. As long as we continue to witness the skills of players like Tommy Black I am happy to be a feeder club to anyone who would like to send us players they won't play in their first team.

Tommy Black was absolutely superb yesterday. His goal was pure class - premiership quality and I want more of the same please.

[Eagle]

I'm not complaining.
Everyone of those players have been outstanding for Palace, and Cole and Black definately the pick of the bunch.
Although i see your point about the loan deals as we are coaching them for Arsenal but Ashley Cole we always knew was never going to be a permanent deal and it seems the same for Taylor, however you never know, if Taylor enjoys it and Arsenal are still not willing to put him in the first team e may ask for a transfer.
But the signings of Black and Gray have been excellent, they are both quality players and for us to buy them was superb. A definate snip at £1 million for both of them.
Who's for the next Arsenal youngster???

I think you can look at this situation from a different perspective - namely that clubs like the Arse are nurseries for the likes of us!

If these great kids carry on not getting into the top clubs first teams, we can keep picking them up for peanuts.

Sounds good to me.

I see no problem in the situation. Clubs like Arsenal are too blind to see the talent they have and think they must spend millions for quality. Meanwhile we steal all the talent they've already got from under their noses. As long as we sign them like Black and Gray, there is no problem.

[JohnA]

No they are for us.
Don't say it too loud though, M. Wenger might complain!!
