Arsenal linked with another top English youngster
It has been reported this morning that the Gunners have had scouts watching the up-and-coming young Plymouth Argyle winger Matt Lecointe, who has already made 10 appearances for his club despite only being 16 years-old.
The Mirror reports that Arsenal, along with Liverpool and Man Utd, are looking at taking Lecointe up to the Premiership and are willing to pay good money for him, which the cash-strapped League Two club are in desperate need of to keep afloat.
Lecointe made his second start for Plymouth in Monday’s 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe, and his manager Carl Fletcher was very impressed with his contribution. He said: “Matty worked hard and didn’t look out of place at all for someone so young,”
“I don’t look at Matty about age. All the players in there, if they’re good enough, then they’ll play.
“It’s a learning experience for all of them to take on in their future football careers.”
“We’ve got a lot of good players here and a lot of good young lads and the way they’ve been working they’ve been doing things the right way and things will turn round for the better,”
Lecointe has been favourably compared to a young Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Plymouth are hoping a serious offer comes in soon to relieve the threat of putting the club into administration.

He didn’t look out of place on Saturday but there is a difference in not looking out of place in a League 2 team (that is flirting with administration and has had no ability to purchase any new players) and not looking out of place among prem hopefuls. I get the feeling the big clubs can afford to come in and gamble (they’d have nothing to lose for what they’d offer Plymouth) while Argyle are left even more threadbare. The big clubs should offer at least a million else Argyle should stick two fingers up to them.
WE need him more than you do. Maybe a million plus a loan back deal until we get out of trouble.

Why is Arsenal going for cheap inexperienced youngsters/ teenagers/Under-20s players like Matt Lecointe who CANNOT make/help ANY TEAM to win trophies? In fact for God’s sake/for sure before God this thing is what makes Arsenal to go TROPHILESS/CUPLESS consecutively year in year out/season in season out[since 2005]!
And if Arsenal continues with this stupid issue of buying and having many teenagers/Under-20s/youngsters players in their squad;for sure before God it will just keep-on/ continue going TROPHILESS year in year out/season in season out!
So instead if Arsenal wants to be winning trophies;for God’s sake during the 2012 January transfer window it should:
1.SELL all its current USELESS, “POTATOES” and injury- prone players[including those who are currently on-loan but not all of its current players are useless, 'potatoes' and injury-prone] like: Squillaci,Emmanuel Frimpong,Jack Wilshere,Coquelin,Denilson,Sagna,Rosicky, Arshavin,Thomas Vermaleen,Nicklas Bendtner,Abou Diaby, Mannone,Aaron Ramsey,Carlos Vela,Craig Eastmond,Djourou, Koscielny,etc and all the others of its current useless, ‘potatoes’ and injury-prone players and replace them with just A GOOD number of elegant,versatile,talismanic and non-injury-prone players during the 2012 January transfer window so as to be winning trophies.
2.STOP their STUPID/OUT-DATED/UNCOUTH/MEDIOCRE/BULLSHIT and RETROGRESSIVE policy of buying and having so many cheap and inexperienced teenagers/Under-20s/youngsters players in their squad who CANNOT make/help them to win trophies and instead in the 2102 January transfer window; they should just spend a lot of their money willingly and whole-heartedly like teams/clubs like Manchester-United, Man-City,Real Madrid,Chelsea,Barcelona etc and buy and have and also be buying and having during other transfer windows apart from the 2012 January transfer window many experienced,elegant, versatile,talismanic and non-injury prone players who are between 23-29 years old so as to be winning trophies every year/season.

For sure before God Frank Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola among others are just the RIGHT PEOPLE/COACHES whom if Arsenal FIRES Wenger and appoints them[any one of them] as their coach,they[Rijkaard and Guardiola] WILL make and help Arsenal to be win and be winning trophies year in year out/ season in season out because Arsenal’s style of play/ game style goes in tandem/ MATCHES VERY WELL with Pep Guardiola’s and Frank Rijkaard’s coaching style/ techniques/tactics.
