Loan Watch Thread

[Iceman]

Right then, I don't think I need to say much about this one. Discuss anything that is going on with our players that are currently loaned out. Post videos, articles or even compare the players and see if they're ready for first team action.
Lets try and keep up-to-date with everything that happens with our loanees.

Armand Traore is all yours!

Defensively hasn't been bad, but hasn't been good either.

Offensively, he was only good in the Gary Neville testimonial and one game in the Europa League where he dribbled well in the second half when we put him at left wing.

How much would I pay for him? I wouldn't. He's third choice at Arsenal and I think rightfully so.

Loan watch thread in the off-season, this is going to be exciting!

[Iceman]

Ha, good point. A bit too hasty, but I was just copying all of the stickied topics here so that we don't forget them as the other forums will be deleted

[Kiwigunner]

Thats fair enough we're going to need them eventually

[A Gunner]

Well this thread will be quiet for a while won't it

[JAY-Z]

Sticky this thread, best thread on the Arsenal sectio, I enjoy reading it

[Kiwigunner]

This is where we get all the important news right?

[Twoism]

So what do you guys think of JET? was so good at reserve but totally flopped at Cardiff, got lots of negative review especially attitude and work rate. What to do with him now since he's 21 already? Another loan but to the right club this time maybe? I hope he doesn't turn out to be another Bendtner, too good for reserve but so so for PL level.

[Jay29]

A kick up the arse is what he needs. We should send him out loan since we have little room in the first team for him and if he doesn't do as well as his talent suggests he should, then that's it. He has no future at Arsenal.

Harsh, but in my opinion we can't afford to keep players like him around for long unless he turns out to be incredibly good. There are players behind him, like Benik Afobe for example, who are much harder workers and show many times the amount of desire.

[Emaharg]

JET needs to play one position.
Then he needs to work hard and use all the physical gifts he has.

[Sri]

JET should be farmed out to a good mid-table PL side for a whole season. Maybe even one of those recently promoted teams. I think that should work.

[Kiwigunner]

I don't think we should bother paying him. He's lazy. He's not even good enough to justify it, like Berbatov and Ibra.

[A Gunner]

More of a bendtner player for me which unfortunately means bye bye.

[Ali]

Should we loan Kyle Bartley back to Rangers or would we use him during the season ?

[Iceman]

Loan him. I see more potential in him than I do in Jones, for example, but Bartley lacks the maturity and experience.

He is better on the ball than Jones and more physical than Jones; however, he looks likely to concede a penalty in every match he plays. A season's loan would do him a world of good.

[Jay29]

Depends on who comes in. If we buy a centre back then yes, send him on loan to Rangers.

If no one comes in, then use him as 5th or 4th choice in our squad.

Either way, give him a go during pre-season. He may just surprise us all by being excellent, or terrible, which will obviously go a long way towards deciding where his future lies.

[Sri]

He will perform reasonably in pre-season, enough for Wenger to keep him at arsenal. But not well enough to demand a place in the team. I'd rather farm him out, not to the rangers, but to a EPL team where he has a good shot at game time, for this season. He has got what it takes, but as fady/iceman said, he needs to grow and mature. Maybe we can sign Samba, weaken the BRFC defense considerably, and then send him there? It'd give him a good shot at being the first choice CB there, since Jones is also on his way out!

that face makes whatever you say 5x as sinister.

I ate a chocolate bar

[Sri]

Hahaha But we'd really take them on a wild ride if we pull this off.. I'd hate to be a BRFC fan and see that happen, esp if we give them Bartley, let them give him experience, and then take him back..

[Sri]

Hey RG, sticky this too..

[RealGunner]

we dont have any loanees though lol

[Sri]

Not right now we dont, its off season

But once the season starts, it'll be easier to track them.. Although its tough for me to fathom what is the real difference between this and the Youth/Reserve thread.. They seem to overlap a bit..

[Sri]

Shouldn't this be a sitcky too?

[RealGunner]

when our players go out on loan, then it will be
