Not Ready For Prime Time: Justin Hoyte

I've watched this lad in quite a few games now and unlike any of the other Gunner Babies, Hoyte just doesn't pass the test. Young players like Senderos, Eboue, and Fabregas have all had their issues at the onset of their careers in the first-team but with Hoyte he really seems out of his element. As a defender he does not fill me with confidence and on the rare instances when he does venture forward in support he offers little in creativity or force. When Cesc started out he seemed too little to be a cog in the midfield but you could see the skill, vision, and pace that were there. You could tell that once he figured out the physical demands of his position, he'd excel. Likewise, Senderos has been guilty of his fair share of dodgy defending but his technique and physical presence were such that it was clear that he'd improve with experience. I don't see anything to comfort me when I watch Hoyte. Flamani should be back there and Hoyte should be gaining his experience at Barnet and in the League Cup. -Sanford

Jean-Alain Boumsong Lowlights

After his error for Juventus helped Rimini snatch a draw this weekend, I thought it would be nice to see a few of his other gaffs. He couldn't handle the EPL and obviously he's going to struggle in Serie B. Can you believe Juventus paid over 3 million pounds for him? Or is it worse that Souness paid over 8 million for him based on his work in Scotland? And now Shay Given is left with Titus Bramble leading his line. Poor lad. Newcastle fans cover your eyes... -Sanford
