You will note that Van Persie is NOT listed. Cesc is. And Shane Robinson, he would not be carrying it for his 5th. He’s on 8.

Gotta say, selling Stokes was a great bit if business. £2.7 million is huge money for a kid that has very little chance of getting into the Arsenal team. I know his goal record was very good at Falkirk and it’s assumed you cannot argue with that… But it is not conclusive proof of brilliance. The gap between the SPL and Arsenal is massive. For my sins I see alot of SPL and some of the teams, Falkirk included, would struggle in the Championship. Stokes would have to make a huge step up and if Wenger and his staff don’t think he is able to compete yet with the established talents of Henry, Van Persie and Adebayor (throw in Baptista and Bendtner too, even Theo), then there is no point holding him here. Wenger has never been made to regret one of the young players he has sold. By that I don’t mean that they won’t score against Arsenal or have a great game, Bentley style, but that they never become a truly consistent player of international quality.

As for the argument that it’s silly to sell him while keeping Aliadiere… well M’Boro are supposed to want him and Le Boss has no problem with that. If he survives January here, he’ll be gone in the summer for certain. He’s not so much kept ahead of Stokes, as less courted than Stokes.

Finally (seems like I’m picking on Blogger today but hey, it’s all in the spirit of debating the Arse) I think it’s well harsh to asssume O’Cearruil has no future cause we picked him up from Watford reserves. I’ve only seen the lad play once or twice so I can’t pass comment one way or another on his ability. But look at players like Ian Wright or Dean Ashton or Kevin Doyle… did not start off glamourously at all and all below the level of Watford. So for now, let’s see how much of a future he has on the basis of what he does on the pitch and that alone.
