Has anyone seen this guy playing for reserves? http://www.arsenal.com/reserves-youth/players/sead-hajrovic there is some buzz at AFC that he is the next big thing after Wilshere and Frimpong
Never heard of him, I generally don't get excited about our youth players as so many are way overhyped.
We have had so many overhyped youngsters it's hard to know but good luck to the lad, fresh talent and impetus are always welcome.
Each week there is a different 'hyped' player in our reserves and then a few months down the line, you hear nothing of them.
^^ exactly. we heard about how JET was amazing. he's been sold. then there was Watt. he went on loan and didn't light the world up. there's been many more. the only ones that actually broke through that were hyped up before A LOT were Wilshere, Bendtner and Vela. u cud possibly also count Szczesny. and of course Fabregas. The others that came through the youth: gibbs, frimpong, coquelin, djourou were never hyped up too much. just quietly put through into the 1st team.
I don't think anyone was really hyped up over JET, well atleast not his ability to play, more about how he could potentially play anywhere. I think it was the fact that during his youth career he went from a Centreback to a Striker, gathered a lot of attention. Vela just didnt take the few shots he had in the PL. He did pretty well in the CC though. I'd like to see him given a chance, but I think he has been to Arsenalised, and doesn't utilise his strengths. By that I mean, instead of trying to brake through the defence or moving into channels, he wants the ball to feet and tries to get past the last man that way. If he started to make better runs behind the defence and latch onto the throughballs, he could potentially be a great player, but I haven't seen much of his finishing ability in the past 2 years, so this could of changed. Hajrovic looks pretty good in all honesty, he has a decent build for a centreback and he is already captaining his international youth side, and has taken over the captaincy of Igansi Miquel due to his injury. I also wouldn't say there is much buzz, this is the first post about him, and he has only just turned 18. Give it two seasons and he will probably feature in the CC.
