Wastemond will lead the summer "no-name" exodus from our reserves as we get rid of a load of players who wont make it here, Rhys Murphy, Sanchez Watt, Kyle Bartley and so on will all go as well.

Think we might well hang on to Bartley on the off chance we can find takers for Djourou and Squillaci. Djourou can't be happy being a 4th choice at this stage of his career unless he really has no footballing ambition and just wants money. There are actually a few youngsters that are supposed to be great. Whether they're just Lupoli's remains to be seen but there are a couple that are gathering Wilshere-esque hype...and once it gets to that level, they're bound to be quite good. Everyone knew at 16 that Wilshere would be very good.
There are similar noises about Gnabry - 16 year old we've kidnapped from Germany. Will probably make the Carling Cup squad next season.

Remember when there were threads debating who was best out of Lupoli and Bendtner? :lol:
:lol:
Project Youth v1. :doh:
v2 is already better because it consists of GHELs.
We bought Podolski yet?
Djourou had some weird clause in his contract, which is why it was renewed. I don't think it was performance-related.
He's not certain to stay.
He still on occasion shows that he can be a very good defender. But if it's games he needs to gain consistency, he's unlikely to get them above three currently far superior players.
