I hope Stokes is on form and send a little reminder to Wenger. Too many young promising guys from the youth teams have been ignored in favour of buying readymade players from the continent. If he keeps banging them in for the reserves then maybe he might start making the carling cup squads later this yr. He's still only 16 thought so maybe I'm a bit ahead of myself but he got a good review on the arseblog.com for his performance against the Chelsea reserves last year.

Striker - Anthony Stokes - Arsenal's best player. I found it hard to gauge his size because the lanky Bendtner made him look small and he is well balanced, but he might be around six foot or just under, and still only 16. A very positive player whose decision making is good. He has a good eye for goal and a strong shot, but knows when to play others in too. Most good Arsenal moves involved him. Some players shrink in front of crowds, some are encouraged by them. Stokes looks like one the latter. He tried his tricks and got a good reaction, even When they didn't come off. When Murphy came on for Samuel with ten to go Stokes went right-wing to good effect.
