Wow, that is some serious nonsense.
How can asking you questions be nonsense unless your own reply is guaranteed to fit ino that catagory ?
Time waster.
We seem to be here today 400,000 pw anyone.
I think the Arsenal press are out in force trying to ensure that the fans can feel happy that "he is only going for the money". This is what they said about Nasri Clichy and Adebayor
Yep. Sanchez better be ready to receive loads of media hatred as any other player we signed from English clubs. They can forgive us everything but taking players from other PL clubs. I just hope this time some of our fans won't get affected by it and on first bad game or two start to repeat some of media drivel like they are with nasri, raheem, stones etc.

That approach isn't consistent with your point: "People who think these guys have some kind of miraculous talent judging abiity, are just fucking stupid, & going against all evidence."
Sorry, I just don't think you're making sense. You're saying that Pep has no ability to judge but you're also saying let him pick the best ones in his opinion.
Regardless: my point is that you don't have to put them in the first team to find out. You just let them train with the first team players and see if they're goos enough to hold their own there.
No, I'm saying all along, that Pep, and all coaches scouts managers everywhere, are making an educated guess.
They don't ' know' at all.
They don't even 'know' if the 11 senior pros they put out will be the right team nor if the 50 mil centre back they sign, will actually succeed let alone being able look at a kid & say for sure whether he can make it, just by watching training sessions.
The only time they find out, for sure, is when the kids play a number of senior games & in some cases, like Pep with Bojan, & Ferguson with several they still get it wrong.
By the way, if you picked the kids who 'hold their own' in training, we would have had about 40 in the last few years, they are fucking good.

Tbh Sanchez has to perform if he comes here. No time to fuck about waiting.

It doesn't bear thinking about, if he turns up & flops.

doubt it, he's too good and experienced for it. Might not be what we expected and not as good as he was last season at arsenal, but he'd perform at certain goodish level for sure.

I imagine you are right.
Still prefer we sign younger players or use our own, myself.
