Is this guy involved with the US youth teams. Just wondering cuz he's about to sign for Arsenal. And it seems to me that that's an indication of his talents. If he's not involved, perhaps he warrants a look.
Look around a little dude. Check the second page of this forum..you might find something there--he's been discussed already.
Wow, if this is true, this must mean the ODP scouts suck and that Arsenal's scouts are much better! (ducks)
This was much discussed on an ealier thread after he won a try out by capturing the golden boot @ some tourney. He wasn't an ODP or US Jr. Nat regular.
Welcome Ryan! Pay no attention to us regulars here, as sometimes when a new poster drops by there are many questions like yours and sometimes the regulars like to get a little silly. Yes, he is a good prospect and had a wonderful visit to Arsenal. In fact, GersMan wrote this excellent piece on Danny: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/NextStep/1042297216/view I'm glad you ventured over from the DC United board, as I have always liked your opinions. Welcome to the Junior Teams board Ryan. -Tron
Although not referenced by name, Arsene Wenger referred to a "young boy who will be joining us after the season" in a Sky Sports interview yesterday. One can only assume this is the same player.
I heard that too!!! And my first thought was, he's not talking about Danny, IS HE???? Maybe Arsenal have signed someone from Europe on a pre contract. I think he was talking about someone he would put right into the first team. Any Arse fans here know?
Re: Re: Danny Karbasiyoon? lol. I don't mind you poking fut at me because I know it sounded stupid at the top, but to clear it up, I had just read an article about him and he was spotted by Arsenal at a camp in North Carolina for elite players I believe where he won the Golden boot. Ironically, he almost didn't get accepted to the camp because of lack of ODP experience at the time. I was just curious if this lack of olympic developmental time meant he wasn't involved or had minimal involvement with the youth national teams. Just trying to find some stuff out.
Thanks Tron. I usually agree with your assessment of the team as well, especially with players like Convey.
