Josh Rees. Development Squad loanee from Arsenal.

SSN says he's joined on loan from Arsenal for a month.
Midfielder apparently ?

He has the pre-requisitive ridiculous pyramidoidal barnet and cheeky teenage grin. Good signing.

Yes, but "Josh?" Are there any quality footballers named Josh or Joshua?

I still dont see the point of a loanee in the dev squad .Is not like he's leaving the Arse ,as I wrote in the dev squad thread the Arse want him to get game time which hes not there . He'll play instead of one of ours who will start to un-develop and he cant get a game

Not sure he's going to deprive anyone of a game. Don't forget that Alfie Mawson (Maidenhead), Antonio German (Gillingham) and Emmanuel Oyeleke (Northampton) are all out on loan so the Development Squad is going to be pretty short of players in the coming weeks.

It might be a nice way of Arsenal seeing if he fits our squad as they know that as from July, he isn't part of theres.

He's here so we can look at him and he can look at us. It's about whether we take him on for next season. Those, currently here, with Dev Squad contracts, end in June. Some will be kept on, some won't, as we don't have players coming through our system yet, we looked at others a couple of years ago before giving a Dev squad contract too, ie Aaron Pierre, Kamau, German etc.

This does also mean that we have a working relationship with Arsenal. Which could be handy

Exactly.

We DO have a good relationship with Arsenal and I strongly suspect that when Rees' contract runs out at the end of the season he will be looking for a new club and we are getting first dibs.

That's what it looks like. I don't see him playing for the first team this season (given the loanees we already have), so it's about what may happen next seasoin

Wait a minute... it says he's also a right back... maybe Uwe's found an old AS coaching manual?

Welcome to Brentford, Josh!
