Arsenal have confirmed that young Spanish prospect Julio Pleguezuelo has signed professional terms at the Emirates.
The 17-year-old centre-back, who was lured from Barcelona’s La Masia last summer, has impressed at under-21 level, competing in the UEFA Youth League and the FA Youth Cup.
Pleguezuelo is one of three Spaniards in the Gunners academy pushing for first team opportunities with Hector Bellerin and Jon Toral also showing signs they could compete for first team minutes in the coming years.
If you want to feel old he was born on January 26 1997…3 months and 28 days after Arsene Wenger took over as manager of Arsenal.
I hope we’ve learned from the Fabregas affair and have attached magnets to these lads’ heads (or whatever it is they do to pigeons to fuck up their homing instinct). Barcelona don’t seem to be very good at taking no for an answer, the arrogant, corrupt shites.
Newshound, was there really any need for that last paragraph? 😉
Pleguezuelo?! Sounds like a name of a disease.
Doctor: I’m afraid you have pleguezuelo.
John Terry: Shit!!! How bad is it doc?
Doctor: Your teeth will fall off, you’ll lose all your hair, your legs will shatter if you ever kick a ball again and you’ll feel an awful, terribly bad burning sensation anytime you shag someone’s wife/girlfriend. Apart from that, you’ll be just fine.
I hope Ormond-Otteweil (the black dude), Pleguezuelo, and Bellerin make the team. Them with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Källström would fuck with commentators and the opposition gloriously.
Wouldnt it be cool if/when everytime Källström scores a goal, he’d be like SHAZAM!!!!
No?? Alryt I’ll go and make dinner for the wife and the kids..
Not totally sure “the black dude” was necessary considering the majority of our youth team is black
Ok. I feel old. Very old. And I was born in the year 1992.
That made someone born in 1992 feel old? You just made a whole lot of us feel even older.
Smeg … by the time you were born, I’d been supporting Arsenal for longer than you’ve now been alive.
Try 1975 and then we’ll talk…
Try 1960 😉
God i feel old, i’m 19 and he’s 17 but he looks older. Well, a young talent goes pro, he has a bright future with the Gunners.Good luck to him. 🙂 COYG!
You think you feel old? I’m 25, going grey and teach kids, and I haven’t the faintest idea what the fuck they’re talking about most of the time- it ages you terribly. I told them I remembered when there were only 150 Pokemon and they looked at me as if I’d just suggested that the Power Rangers were an offshoot of Al Qaeda. At least they do know what a Power Ranger is. Small mercies and all that…
Omg pokemon and power rangers was the shit! Im 25 too……what about DJ Kat in the mornings before school. Damn the past was good.
I remember when there were only 150 Pokemon… I’m only 19 and I realized that from last year onwards, every “bright young talent” would be younger than me.
Anyway, Arsenal apparently signed Pleguezuelo and his little brother. Farca were really pissed off. I love it when they get pissed off. The Cescrobbers. I was 16 when they signed him. That was the last time I cried about something football related.
I remember – He-man, The Phantom (The Ghost who walks) , Dragon Ball Z, Power Rangers, Jungle Book.. Sigh!!! I’m fucking old..
How about Asteroid, Centipede, Frogger, and Donkey Kong?
Ummm.. Mario?? Prince of Persia?? Contra??
There were some game makers who labled contra as delta force

Exiled Gooner, you think YOU feel old? I’m 34, going grey but I don’t teach kids. I remember when Thundercats was the best cartoon EVER (still is in my opinion). Tell that to your kids Exiled, see how they look at you then 😉
Yeah, thunder thunder thunder cats! hahhaha
i preferred The Masks!
They redid Thundercats, Manga style!! Snarf doesn’t speak!!
There should be a law which states anyone under the age of 30 (which includes myself) is not allowed to claim that they feel old.
I realise it’s not that old, but as I say, working with children makes you feel older. Couple that with trying to do a Ph.D in Renaissance literature part-time (resulting in no sleep and a low bank balance), a fiancee who models herself on a member of the Stasi (I love her really) and a body that is slowly falling apart and one begins to feel positively decrepit.
I’m 22 & don’t feel old and wasn’t allowed to watch Pokemon because my parents said that they were evil creatures created by satan and sent to poison children’s minds and turn them into sleeper agents for when the empire of japan rises again.
Electric Soldier Porygon was just the start. The attack shall continue. Hail Pikachu.
I’m in my late thirties lol loved watching dogtanian and cities of gold – top cartoons
C’mon then. If any of you remember Andy Pandy, Spotty Dog and the Woodentops and Listen with Mother you can also, like me, claim to be old! The rest of you are thinking ‘fuck off grandad’!
And the original Thunderbirds and Doctor Who.
Thunder.. Thunder.. Thunder CATS HOH!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry.. I couldn’t help myself..
My wife’s shouting at the background.. Gotta go.. Sniff!!! Goodbye childhood.. Hello Oldman..
Why you lil’…. arrrghhhh!!!!
hes just another on the conveyer belt at AFC he has prospects but so have many others have and there out on loan looking like never to return but we have to go down this road because now and again a shining star emerges and hopefully get into the first team but these players are rare
Ummm.. Okay.. But I hope that’s not all what she said..
I’ll get me coat*
I do hope Szczesny, Gibbs, Wilshere and Gnabry don’t read this…
And Bendtner but fuck him
born in 97? fuck i am growing old. Why God Why.
If I here see another 19/20 say they feel old I’ll turn 40 in two months that’ll learn ya!
What’s a Pokemon?.. Is that the correct spelling?…
go and get a gameboy now!!!!!!!
