Arsenal youth team squad 2004/05
It is hoped that this page
will eventually serve more as a subjective guide to each player. ArseWeb
contributors and Arsenal mailing list members wishing to write profiles
for this page should e-mail me.
All contributions gratefully received.
Triallists and schoolboys who are known to have played for the youth
team are also listed along with such information as we have been able to
find out.

Professionals
The following players have professional contracts at Arsenal, but I are young enough to qualify for the youth team. The U18 teams this year
are also allowed 3 over-age players, but it seems
unlikely that Arsenal will take advantage of the rule often. Given his start to the season in the first team, it also seems unlikely that
Cesc will play for the under-18s again. See the ArseWeb reserve squad page for
biographical details.
