Nico Bellerin    vs QPR

[MJ]

Well he looks like a Nico from Jersey Shore here

[RealGunner]

Nico Bellerin, Anthony Jeffrey, Austin Lipman, Damian Martinez and Nico Yennaris's loans all expire January 2nd. Assuming they'll be sent right back out (get it, rightback? Bellerin? No...?) on loan.

None of them could provide any sort of useful depth at this point except Bellerin if we were having fullback issues which we don't seem to be.

Who is Nico Bellerin?   Love child of Nico Yennaris and Hector Bellerin?

LMFAO

[Jay29]

Hector Bellerin has extended his loan with Watford until the end of the season.

Good on you, Nico.   

[MJ]

Joel Campbell Olympiacos highlights. Hope he tears United a new one. Wonder if he's playing well enough for them to pay the €8million option at the end of the season..?

[urbaNRoots]

Olympiacos have a buy-option?

[MJ]

I think so

Chuba Akpom has moved on loan to Brentford for a month:

Hopefully, he impresses enough for them to extend the loan until the end of the season.

[Sina]

Good luck Chuba
hope he can help them to promotion
they took care of Szczesny as well   

[MJ]

Chuba looks bloody ecstatic.

[Jay29]

Watford away to Bouremouth tomorrow, Brentford away to Walsall looking for their ninth consecutive win. Both 3pm kick offs. Hopefully Bellerin and Akpom play.

Why has there been hardly any news of Coquelin? Anyone has any idea?

[MJ]

Chuks Aneke with a brilliant brace v Sheffield United.



Shame, we have a lot of solid youngsters who won't make it through. Ozyakup is one I remember feeling would make something of himself and he has. I feel the same way with Aneke if/when he's sold.

[Jay29]

What I think held Aneke back from really making a push towards the first team was his lack of mobility. He's a big guy with lots of strength, but doesn't cover the ground very well and I think that limited him as to what roles he could play in the side. Technically, he was right up there.

It's his second year with Crewe and he's done really well both years, so I wouldn't be too surprised if he ended up there on a permanent deal. Crewe are a good club who like to nurture young talent, and a lot of their players have ended up at a higher level. Aneke will follow.

As for Coquelin, he's playing left midfield for a struggling Freiburg side.

Campbell eager for Arsenal return

Posted by: Arseblog News

Joel Campbell says he’s hoping to play for Arsenal next season believing he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League.

The Costa Rican international has yet to feature for the Gunners since signing in 2011 with work permit delays necessitating loan spells at Lorient in Ligue 1 and Real Betis in La Liga. Nevertheless, having impressed at Olympiakos scoring 7 goals in 24 appearances this season and with the necessary paperwork secured he’s hoping Arsene Wenger offers him an opportunity in England.

“As soon as Arsenal came, I wanted to join them and I believe I am ready to play for Arsenal next season,” he told Sky Sports ahead of his loan side’s Champions League clash with Manchester United.

“I know I have the capacity to play there. I am only waiting for the opportunity. With hard work I know I can get there.

“They [United] showed an interest in me when I was moving to Europe but I have been an Arsenal fan since I was a child and that’s why I chose them.”

Of his time in Greece he added, “This has been a very good experience. I am trying to do my best, to do better and continue growing as a footballer. It is why I chose Olympiakos. This is a big team with the opportunity to play in the Champions League, the most important competition in Europe.

“The league here is not as competitive as in Spain but it is a good place for me to grow as a player. We have a strong team, with competition for places. Every day I try to learn something from Javi Saviola. The life here is good, the food and the weather.”

Arsenal fans will no doubt be keeping an eye on Campbell this evening hoping he upstages Robin van Persie. Nights like this are certainly an opportunity to put himself in the shop window and with a World Cup on the horizon – Costa Rica have been drawn in England’s group – there’s plenty of time to turn Wenger’s head or indeed those of other suitors.

Desperate to see Joel Campbell given a chance next season.

[Raptorgunner]

Wellington Silva expects to start playing for Arsenal in 2014/2015

“The passport process is already underway, as there is a law in Spain that you can submit the documents after two years – in January 2014, I’ll have been here three years, so I hope I will be ready.”

Silva continued: “In July, preseason begins in England – I’ll have my passport and will be ready. I hope I’m given a chance to realise my dream of playing for Arsenal. It’s a strong team and I hope to fit in well.”

He could be our own little Neymar?  

[MJ]

Hector Bellerin and Chuba Akpom's contracts expire this June. Silva, Miyaichi till 2015, Campbell till 2016.

Interesting.

[Sri]

Campbell has started at OT in CL for Olypiakos tonight.

[REWB]

great first half for him, looked threatening every time he got the ball, which wasnt much.

[EL Patron]

decent performance from him, I can't see him making the grade here unfortunatly. Gnabry is much better than him.

not too sure, campbell had some nice touches, his link up play is good, playing in a team like ours might up his game to another level. he is one that we definitely need to give a chance to.

[Jay29]

Chuba Akpom recalled from his loan at Coventry apparently, as "cover" for the first team.

[RealGunner]

I can't wait to see Tuesday's team lmao. Arsene is mad.
