Speculation - Arsenal Academy

[Lower West]

Apparently Arsenal are in contact with Reading regarding the transfer of one of their academy players. Having seen Reading sign graduates of the Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and Leicester academies. Arsenal are desperate not to be left out and their reputation for producing talent tainted. Stam has been offered first pick of their cast offs. Whether he accepts is another matter.

What?

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. I'm struggling to see what this means too?

[PistolPete]

We signed Evans (Man City), Moore (Leicester), Blackett (Utd) and Swift (Chelsea) so the OP thinks we'll go to Arsenal next. Bloody odd way of saying it though

[maffff]

Well, they signed Osei-Tutu from us, so it's only fair.

[Sutekh]

Wow, what a story

Arsenal approached us to take one of their players?
Arsenal have seen us sign the likes of Swift and Moore and don't want to miss out on selling a kid to us?
Arsenal have offered us, over everyone else, first refusal on their unwanted youngsters?

Sounds legit.

Would take Serge Gnabry on a free.

Would take Serge Gnabry on a free.

Or that striker Akpom. Or the Jeff Reine-Something guy.
