League Two side Bromley have confirmed that Maldini Kacurri has joined on loan for the rest of the season.
The 19-year-old centre-back returns to Hayes Lane to gain further senior experience having been on the club’s books as a youngster.
Maldini made his Gunners debut in the Carabao Cup win over Bolton Wanderers in September and has been on the bench for four Premier League games, including the recent 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
Bromley, managed by ex-Arsenal keeper coach Andy Woodman, have taken a number of Arsenal Academy kids in recent years including Alex Kirk, Kido Taylor-Hart and Tom Smith.
Ex-Gunner Carl Jenkinson is also on the club’s books having joined in September.
Playing alongside Arsenal legend Carl Jenkinson. Enjoy this one Maldini !
He’s why we let Heaven go ! Good player the kid & tough as my 62 year old big toenail !!!
Gross
He must be having a total eclipse of the heart to be joining Corporal Jenks!
Turnaround
If he is anything like the legendary Milan player Paulo Maldini ( whom he might be named after?) then we have one hell of a player on our hands 👍 still can’t believe heaven went to hell (they are the red devils after all) but we can’t all heave our heads screwed on correctly – he should have gone to a club with more ambition like Crystal Palace (clearly streets ahead of ManUre)
Based on Hale End documentary few years ago, he indeed named after the Italian legend.
Gook luck Maldini Jr.
BTW, the fact that we cannot buy a striker is very disappointing. We still have (read “had”) a change this season, but seems the owners have more patience than we do.
a chance I meant!
We can but decided to wait for the summer to find the right one at the right conditions.
I would suggest you check what we did in the last two summers, mate. Would like to see your comments at the end of summer window when we end up buying a striker at 50-60m with the hope of winning the premier league yet another year.
Even Arteta signalled we need to add to put the pressure onthe owners and you don’t accept, hilarious.
Hard to believe the only business we did was this loan and selling Heaven for just 1.5 million. Hope it doesn’t come back to bite us in the butt not getting reinforcements up front. As it stands now with everyone available other than Saka we have one attacking sub off of the bench that is worth anything (Nwaneri) as Sterling is a waste. What the heck do we do if Havertz is injured, go the rest of the way with Trossard at striker and no attacking subs?
Ode replacement is more critical
Gabbie likes a goal and has been showing off his overhead kicks. He just needs to run back real quick when we’re out of position, no big deal. Striker/CB
You used to see the occasional big center back turning into a center forward. Sutton, Wadhurst.. Gabriel!!
Other strikers I anticipate thus season…
Nwaneri, knows where the goal is
Marti, fast
Partey, well if he can do right back…
Calafiore, recent quote “like everyone I was a striker when I was a kid”
Neto.
I would say it’s about how much money you wanna spend. Arteta, some players, and everyone around said we need a striker. It is also obvious that we wanted and tried. BUT, we could not land anyone.
This is while Shiteh could spend 180m and bring in 5 players, and Sp*rs could seal the loan deal that we were also interested in.
Tel would only leave on loan if there were guarantees on game time. Tel turned down a £50m permanent move to spurs, but accepted a 6 month loan as it means he’ll get game time. We wouldn’t have been able to guarantee him game time. Likewise even Ferguson. Even if we had been in a position to get him on loan, he’d have gone to West Ham for game time. City could spend £180m as they have been trading profitably for 3 years (their psr balance sheet will show around +£170m, whereas ours will show about -£92m – given that… Read more »
I got a feeling that Sterling is going to score some goals.
I admire your faith
I thought Rashford was worth a loan deal with option to buy or not, anyway its not to be,
Six point lead with a game in hand not impossible but highly unlikely to overhaul Liverpool, To get a specific player to try and win this or that in the short term doesn’t work out often, so more patience required
It’s impossible to have replacements anything near the level of first choices or they wouldn’t be on a bench, the two halenders are like new signings to me,
I’m split on this one. Given our poor summer, was there a deal we could have realistically done this window? Perhaps Tels was worth a gamble as only a loan….could have gone in earlier and harder for Watkins?
But there’s a credible case for saying we are most unlikely to win the league and we’ve got better players than Tels and Watkins for the CL win in Munich at the end of May
While disappointed i think the club are being very sensible. And i suspect we will land our preferred targets in the summer. We just have to ride it out this season. A trophy this season would be golden, but not at the cost of jeopardizing long term goals.
Broadly agree. I do worry that we are not aggressive / smart enough on getting them but let’s hope I am wrong!
