Who doesn't Roy Keane want? Arsenal isn't exactly known for going with deep pockets and they have a lot of youth depth so I could easily see Roy outbidding Arsene for this guy.

Anybody know anything about this guy?

He's a bit of a project, hence Wenger's interest. He looked good in an FA Cup game I saw a week or so ago.

I don't know a thing about him to be honest.

This kid is English and currently plays for Leeds.

The thing with the Gunners is Arsene finds the young talent. It's not that they won't spend money. It's that once the player gets there - the wages are set in stone. Hence why Flamini took off to Milan.

Delph fits what Arsene does - young, talented players...and then sells high.
