Sidwell might not have literally played for Arsenal, but people use the term "playing for a club" loosely, meaning they were at that club.
I get you in that respect, but seeing as he never saw field time with the senior team and was never a factor for Arsenal, or signed a professional contract, its like he was not at the club in any capacity.

I see, must be an English thing because here when we say someone played for a club, we mean they actually played for the club/team and if we meant otherwise we would say they were at the club.
