Arsenal Banter Archive April 14 2015

Heard a lot of rumours (both on here and elsewhere) that Arsenal are looking for another RB. Seems crazy to me, seeing as we have Debuchy (even if his fitness this season has been about as promising as Diaby's fitness in the years he's actually played for us), the phenomenal young prospect of Bellerin, reasonable cover in Chambers (more of a CB or indeed CDM in my eyes, but cover nonetheless) and JENKINSON who has shone on loan. Wondering what this means for young Carl - surely we're not planning to let him go??
Anyone got any insider knowledge on this? And what do fellow gooners think?

{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation - read the posts.}

Gutted but think Jenks is of the past as far as Arsenal are concerned, hope I'm wrong.
Would love to see him come home next season but if not wish him every success no matter where he goes, the lads got guooner blood running through every vein in his body and will always be one of us at heart.

Would be blady crazy, we've got to ageing centre backs, only one fit for purpose holding midfield, one reliable striker and two goalies who are good but not title winning quality and we're still after a right back? Frankly I don't believe it

Just having a look at the current academy squad and was wondering who the greater prospects are? We all know of Crowley and zelalem, but are there any that we are planning on letting go? And are there any that are seen as future first team players?

Hayden has looked good to me in his sporadic first team appearances. Also, Wellington Silva is being sent on loan from team to team so I don't know what the plans are for him. As we know, Bielik is one for the future. Jack Jebb was meant to be an exciting prospect but he didn't help himself by being banned in an under 18 match a while back for using racist language and is now on his second loan at Stevenage.

Then again, I thought both Eisfeld and Olsson looked like exciting prospects to me but they've both moved on and are hardly blossoming - not like Afobe is anyway.

Crowley will be a good player, he has a hunger. You can see it in his game. Zelalem could be pirlo in 10 years or adu. It's up to him

TPG, I was gutted to see Afobe leave! Me and my friend who happens to be a Bolton fan have a running bet to see who turns out better; Afobe, or Marvin Sordell, right now I think I'm winning! Shame he wasn't given a shot at arsenal!

Hey guys what's the likelihood of Gnabry going on loan to another premier league team? We have more than enough cover in his position even if Walcott is sold. Do you know of any interest in him?

Development isn't just about playing matches, training is also very important, with that in mind keeping him around our first team could do him a lot of good. I watched him play last night for the u21s, he looks a lot stronger now, and is absoloutely rapid as we know. He could be a very good player in 3 or 4 years
