Don't be so silly. No team in the top 2 divisions is going to have a teenage #1 goalkeeper. The most demanding Walton's 'people' can be is, 'make me #2, and don't sign the new number 1 to a 4 or 5 year contract'.

Why would any young player stay at a second division club? If a Premier League club wants them, they will have them. Cynical I know, but at the end of the day in a short professional career, money talks. I'm sure in the past parents mortgages have been paid off. 'TRUSTED AGENTS' are lining...

Wasn't it a £1000 and set of track-suits, or are those day gone?

Reading it back, I completely agree. My post was meant as a critique of the position, not the player. No team with a full squad can afford not to have a keeper on the bench, when 7 places are available. Since Tommy K's arrival, Ankergren and Brez have been in competition for the scraps, with...

Based on what? You can't mean Walcott - £12m The Oz - £15m Ramsey - £5m Even Jenkinson - £1m In 10 years Arsenal's programme has developed Wiltshire and Gibbs. Don't be conned by the hype, Arsenal have bought their development players, the same as everybody else, with the possible exception...

That's immaterial. The Ankergren position is that of permanent back up 'keeper. I'd hazard a guess it's the most 'available' place in football. All we need is any old chump who can catch and kick a ball. Back up keeper at Crawley/Gillingham/Portsmouth/Charlton, or back up here on a little bit...

That's what I'm saying, but Ankergren won't be number 1. Senior g/k - PiG replacement. Walton - The new Brez. Ankergren - I know my place. Walton will get more first team football here, next season, than at Arsenal. It'll be up to Walton to convert cup/injury/suspension appearances into a...

It does matter when talking about the only position in which you can't hide. seagurn has the right idea in posts 26 & 33!! Another senior goalkeeper will be coming in, it'll be up to Walton to take his place, and keep it.

But certainly won't do better or be on a par with Tommy K. The other youngsters aren't goalkeepers. It'll be good to see what he can do, but nobody is going to gamble the season on him.

Seeing as Southampton, 8th in the Premier League, are either a feeder club or being asset striped. You've got to wonder why so many panties are being moistened on this thread. If Arsenal want him enough, they'll get him, simple economics. Our only hope, for all our youth players is the promise...
