Arsenal Youngsters Head Out On Loan On Transfer Deadline Day

Arsene Wenger has been praised for his giving a chance to young footballers to prove their worth. Of late, there seems to be change in tact as the club increasingly allows youngsters on its books to go out on loan for a chance at regular football. It could be a case of Arsenal following the footsteps of Chelsea who it can be argued own half of the young talent in Europe having loaned them out to leagues across the breadth of European football.
Maybe it's simply a case of learning from past mistakes where young players: Read Denilson, Diaby,Szczęsny, who were forced to develop under the glare of TV cameras.
 The fear of cause remains that quite often, being sent on loan means the end of the Arsenal career for that particular youngster: Read Mike Randall, Benik Afobe etc. We surely hope that for this bunch of Arsenal youngsters, the tale will be different assuming the dimension of the Coquelin caliber.

An Open Letter To Arsenal Youngster Joel Campbell

 Dear Joel Campbell,

First, it is to thank you for making us all proud yester night. The whole,27 million plus, lot of us Gooners splashed all over the globe- from Kogelo to San Jose- jumped in elation, shouted , danced and even laughed when you skipped past Carrick and let fly a delightful left foot strike that curved its way round a wtf-faced Rio Ferdinard , past a fully stretched De Gea to dink just at the root of the right upright and seal the deal for your adopted football home, Olympiacos.

So cute, Joel Campbell, we fell in love. Image: nacion.com

In our brief open letter at the tail of yesterday’s post, we had beseeched upon you to do just that. Even though you didn't do the half-turn and “I’ll be back thing,” as promised, you have officially taken over Carlos Vela’s place in our hearts. From now hence, Joel we will talk about you in the barbershops and fantasise about you in the red and white. We will debate what a front line of you (RWF), Gnabry (ACM), Theo (LWF) and Sanogo (CF) might look like and dream of the future.

Joel Campbell, we will wonder if your tricks on the ball will only get better, and marvel at your composure in front of goal. We will nostalgically laugh at how you made Evra make school-boy errors -more particularly how the experienced French left-back only had an the option of a handball and yellow card to escape that audacious back of the heel kanzu that you pulled on him.
