According to Goal.com, and this is a rumour that may well have some truth to it, there are 5 Arsenal Youngsters poised for Loan moves following the game against Bolton on Tuesday. They are: Ignasi Miquel Sanchez Watt Oguzhan Ozyakup Daniel Boateng Chuks Aneke What can you tell me about them? How highly do you rate them? Could they impress to the point they'll be in the 1st team next year? Over to you folks!! Where's John when you need him!? He always knew about the youngsters (and had an irrational dislike of Nasri...which turned out to be right!!)
Out of those, I'd like to see Miquel stay and fight for a place - especially with Sagna, Jenkinson and Gibbs out and our CB's filling in the fullback positions. I think Miquel could definitely give Djourou a battle for CB place, but I don't think he'll get in ahead of Kos and Mert Who's John?
Ignasi Miquel - Decent CB who could get up and challenge Djourou for the 4th CB slot Sanchez Watt - He probably won't make it past championship level, maybe lower prem. Oguzhan Ozyakup - While his scrabble score rivals Szczesny's, he's still a good midfielder. Loan to a champo team. Daniel Boateng - Decent player, won't make it at Arsenal but maybe at a lower prem club. Chuks Aneke - Good striker, but never going to be a Robin Van Persie. Will end up at a mid table club in the prem, hopefully. Put simply, none of these guys are the next Wilshere or whatever, but they're pretty good.
Oguzhan Ozyakup We should start him purely for his name! Szneznkey Vermalean koshcielny Ozyakup chamakh alexandre song billong Frimpong Jack what a bunch of names!!
Well, Ignasi Miquel - Championship at best, good on the floor, but not what a cb is for. Sanchez Watt - Watched him alot at leeds and he was good, not prem good, but championship good, could be a regular at a championship team Oguzhan Ozyakup - Seen him a few times, very good cm, he and aneke destroy the reserve/unders leagues, but he knows it, was creating contract drama last year because he thought he deserved a first team spot. but he eventually signed, would shine in a championship club Daniel Boateng - Jury is out, not too sure how good he can be, he has been under the radar for a bit, but does have a bit of talent, send him to a league 1 team Chuks Aneke - barce tried to sign him and afobe, them two have played together since they were like 4/5 know wach other inside out, they are like telepathicly joined. viera mould, but scores alot also. P.S. John has the knowlege of a orange when it comes to youth compared to me
Thanks Ramsey. I've heard a lot about Aneke / Afobe - and Afobe did well on loan at Huddersfield last year. I'd love them both to go out to the same team. Not really sure why Afobe hasn't gone out on a season-long already. They're probably Championship. Miguel has looked OK when he's played. He has SOME experience of First Team now so I'd expect him to go to Championship level. The rest I don't know much about at all. I know Watt did OK at Leeds, and he's just signed a new contract. He's 20 now however, so perhaps he's signed, and now he's off to the shop window? It was probably made clear he wouldn't be going on loan without signing. Any others we should be looking out for? I've heard good things about Jack Jebb.
