Chumlum wrote:Coquelin is a player who, if he ends up somewhere else permanently, I hope has a fine career but never gets beyond that barrier of simply being "pretty good." It would be rough to turn out & see how he kind of floundered on the bench here for a couple years, impressing in flashes, and then matured into a real machine.

Like, I'm less worried about that happening with Frimpong these days. But with le Coq I still wonder if he's got something special in his future. But if it's a loan move I hope he does well there and grows ...

I think Coquelin is special as well.. Don't think he'll be world class or anything but he's just a gifted player that has many skills, lots of versatility and is a fierce competitor.

If he leaves us permanently I wish him the very best and I'm certain he'll do well when given the chance.

I don't recall anything official but it seems like it's just a matter of time.

I dont get these buy back clauses.

If a club kicks out a player whats the point of going back?

Coquelin should leave permanently. He deserves more games .

Adler in an interview with 'Sport Bild' said that he didn't think once about leaving HSV but can't make a promise. Also says that Hamburg bought him for the long-term and not to sell him after one season.

However HSV's financial problems can make things happen if we're quick and really interested.

Coq should leave on loan... I know he can make it at Arsenal... He has lots of potential.

by Kwame2u Thu 16 May 2013 - 9:16

I also think LeCoq should either go out on loan or be sold with a buy back clause.

What are the thoughts on the rumour of Santi being wanted at ManCity. Isco cvould apparently move there as well, potentially meaning the end of the road for Nasri there. He should jump over to Monaco for more $$$

Santi is not going anywhere.

We have no need to sell and crush what we have built this season. Its time to build on the foundation, not bulldoze it and start all over again.

As much as I would love Isco, I don't see where he would fit in, unless we target him as Wilshere rotation and Rosiky long term replacement. He'd definitely more likely to follow Pellegrini to Citeh, much as I would hate that.

Citeh got Silva, Chavs got Mata. About time we got Isco in there. *sigh*

by urbaNRoots Thu 16 May 2013 - 10:41

We should let Coquelin go, he clearly has no future with Arsenal. Wilshere, Ramsey, Arteta and another DM coming in the summer means he'll be 5th choice or even 6th if we count Diaby. Just wish he goes somewhere else and not at Schalke so I can continue to like him Very Happy

Chamakh to RMC: "A return to Bordeaux? It's possible"

"Everyone knows that Bordeaux is my club heart. I know that I must make sacrifices because I can not stay like this. If I find an agreement with Bordeaux, why not."

"I know there is little chance that I stay at Arsenal. If I go back to France, it may be in Bordeaux."

Serio Ramos being linked lol

I feel sorry for Chamakh. A quiet guy who didn't kick up a stink like Adebayor and Bendtner and who did try his best

I know, feel bad for him, I wish all the best and hope he gets his confidence back.

Wasn't this explicitly started between two guys on Twitter who very openly tried to make a ridiculous rumor, with made-up sources & figures, to see how long before papers would copy it?

by RealGunner Fri 17 May 2013 - 1:07

It probably worked. seeing many people talking about it. Expect it on daily Star in few days Laughing

by Chumlum Fri 17 May 2013 - 1:23

It was ‏@AFC_Ell and @ZcottAFC - if you look at their timelines you can see they just did it for a troll, but were totally explicit about it, not trying to fool anyone who was actually paying attention to them. Victims of the trolling would be people who took tweets out of context and ran with them. But I guess it's taken root! Laughing

e.g.

Zcott ‏@ZcottAFC 14 May
Who fancies starting a twitter rumour and try getting it published?

Elliott ‏@AFC_Ell 14 May
@ZcottAFC I will, for da lolz and dat?

Elliott ‏@AFC_Ell 14 May
No way! With Mourinho leaving Sergio Ramos is leaving, been told he's joining Arsenal! £19 million fee £110 k p/w. Dream summer begins!

Zcott ‏@ZcottAFC 14 May
My mates' uncle had a kidney transplanted from a guy who is related to the cousin of the Madrid kit man. This is my source

yeah as bad as he was, you could see he was giving the maximum effort each time he appeared

Apparently we've signed a striker called Yaya Sanogo from Ligue 2 side Auxerre who's out of contract in the summer.

He plays in Ligue 2 lol never seen him but has 8 goals in 7 games or so this season.

We'll probably sign him and send him on loan to a Ligue 1 side.

by SamuelJayC Fri 17 May 2013 - 11:21

" Yaya Sanogo is big, strong and talented, and at the age of 20, he's already had nearly as many injuries as Diaby #TypicalArsenalSigning "
