    Good luck with the reserve Arsenal keeper. We had their reserve team captain Daniel Boateng on loan at Swindon he was possibly the worst central defender I have ever seen although very pacy. Unable to pass a ball straight, and jumping for headers a foot behind the forward. Lasted 60 mins.

    Incidentally Di Canio has said that Kerrouche currently has the fitness of a 55 year old woman. Using his running fitness test by increasing speeds from 10km/hr by 1 km/hr per minute til you drop, a pro footballer should register 18km/hr, Di Canio registered 21km/hr age 38 at Lazio (3rd best at club), Kerrouche registered 13.5km/hr.....
    To be honest he's just a kid to stick between the sticks for a match of little significance...given our season went belly up weeks ago. So long as he puts a shift in and doesn't do anything stupid I'll be happy.

    Kerrouche had little idea or determination from what I saw of his few brief moments with us. So that info comes as little surprise.
    Di Canio should pull on a shirt today for the last few minutes...he'd still run rings around most players in this league!"

Oxford United sign Arsenal goalkeeper on loan

Oxford United have signed Damian Martinez from Arsenal on an emergency loan for tomorrow’s trip to Port Vale.

The 19-year-old has not played for the Gunners’ first-team but was included in Argentina’s squad for friendly internationals last summer.

Martinez will start for the U’s, who must win their final game of the season to stand any chance of reaching the play-offs, following injuries to Ryan Clarke and Wayne Brown.

He replaces Connor Ripley, who was recruited at short notice from Middlesbrough for last weekend’s game against Southend United.

The teenager was released this week after making a mistake for the opening goal in United’s 2-0 defeat.
