Which foreign name for Scrooge McDuck sounds most like a 13-year-old Arsenal Youth prodigy?

not finding a lot of name value in the current arsenal youth contingent, the counterpoint of chuba 'chubs' akpom and chukwuemeka 'chuks' aneke about as interesting as it takes

was prepared to hate hector bellerin for having a shit name and being another ex-barca youth player ready to take queen wenger's shilling, until i saw this photo of him and felt his move into the EPL was verging on the TE lawrence level of unlikely yet seamless acculturation

It's such a beautiful album that it far exceeded my expectations. It keeps the signature style of Tuomas's writing but brings it to a new level

Who's that in the photo with Bellerin?

Joakim Von And has that perfect fusion of Latin American and Eastern European so I'm going for that.

Whilst Arsenal have yet to enter the transfer market for any first-team players, the club have been busy making numerous acquisitions at U18 level.
In addition to the previously announced deals for Kristopher Da Graca, Jonatas Centeno, Savvas Mourgos and Elias Hatzitheodoridis, the club have this week finalised moves for promising youngsters Ben Sheaf and Hugo Keto.
Sheaf, a homegrown central-midfielder signed from West Ham’s famed academy, and Keto, a goalkeeper recruited from HJK in his native Finland, have both been capped by their countries at U16 level.
For all the promise of those listed above, however, Arsenal’s biggest success at youth level this Summer may well prove to be the retaining of the services of an existing player.
Chris Willock, an attacking midfielder deemed so talented that he trained with the first-team at London Colney last season whilst he was still as schoolboy, was the subject of considerable interest from Manchester United, where his brother Matthew, formerly of Arsenal, currently plays.
However, last weekend Willock confirmed that he has signed a two-year scholarship deal with Arsenal and will continue his development at the club. Although he struggled with several injury setbacks last season, Willock demonstrated his considerable promise during his 12 appearances at U18 level and also made the bench in the FA Youth Cup.
There are some other promising Hale End products in this intake, most notably Kaylen Hinds, a striker who featured in the UEFA Youth League last season, and George Dobson, a defensive-minded player with genuine leadership qualities. Tyrell Robinson, a dangerous winger, is also worth keeping an eye on, with Marc Bola, Aaron Eyoma and Chiori Johnson having also commenced their scholarships this week.

Rooting for Hugo Keto

should find a Bryan Ferr to complement Marc Bola

The entire concept of Scrooge McDuck confounds me. Charles Dickens's Ebeneezer Scrooge reincarnated as an anthropomorphic billionaire duck who lives in the US but speaks with an intelligible Scottish accent (unlike his impedemented nephew, Donald) has adventures along with his 3 grandnephews (also ducks wearing baseball caps).

in the show did he ever talk about his times growing up in Victorian England and being spooked by various ghosts?

IIRC the only time the gang went to England they were warned that it was 'haunted'. The whole country!

not only is Glen Kamara unrelated to Chris he also appears to be Finnish. curious

he has 36 followers on twitter

His family has an old haunted castle. Though he himself grew up in poverty.

In other news, young trio Glen Kamara, Tafari Moore and Josh Vickers have all signed professional terms at the Emirates. Mainstays of the under-18s last season they’ll be hoping to turn heads for the under-21s this season with a view to a potential shot at a run out in the Capital One Cup.

Tafari is a good name

tafari is ethiopian/amharic (haile selassie's birth name & ras tafari = prince tafari) his middle name is lalibela which means his parents are either v serious rastas or v patriotic ethiopians

Spurs youth just gave rafferty pedder some minutes

Hope he gets a song

"Sknerus McKwacz" still makes me laugh today
