Scored the winner in a man of the match display for Bolton reserves. I hope he gets a start this weekend as it would be great for him to play a few months of PL football. Still have high hopes that he can push on and become a an Arsenal starter. Ryo and OXO as wide players for Arsenal for the next 5-10 years is a mouth watering prospect. Perhaps even Theo in the middle when RVP eventually does leave or retire?
I think Levante had the attitude problem, not him. He was an 18 year old thousands of miles away from home and he ate a pizza and used twitter to keep in contact. I'm an 18 year old still at home and I go out drinking, eat crud and do as little work as possible. There's nothing wrong with me either. He just wanted a couple of home comforts. You cannot expect an 18 year old to behave like a 30 year old. Some are that way, but you cannot expect it and it's unfair to reel against someone for doing something perfectly innocent.
After all, look at how Van Persie was at 17/18. Now he is an exemplary character and a very, very good man alongside his huge ability.
He was unfit. You can tell that by looking at him. Levante have no reason to treat him more unfairly then others.
The levels of fitness are higher in Europe than in Southern America. Just consider fat Ronaldo. They seriously hindered the kid's talent. If they weren't going to use him then they shouldn't have taken him. I feel the same way about our Park. We've treated him very badly also.
too bad wellington could never get a work permit. he would do well in league 1 or the championship, where flair players stand out, and managers and clubs know how to handle young unruly players. not like in spain where, as others have said, they expect him to act like a 30 year old, when he's 18. btw, ryo is on the bench for bolton. may get 10 minutes or so.
Someone woke up without a sense of humour today. Or this year, maybes. I think Robin Van Oxlade-Chamberlain would be a lovely gene splicing experiment. Ultimate Footballer.
Campbell has done it on a high level for his country, the other two have the potential but not proved it yet. Ryo seems to have a good attitude so he has a good chance of succeeding. Wellington needs to come back to Arsenal, it's a shame he can't get a permit....
