http://www.footylatest.com/arsenal-defender-to-join-qpr-this-week/23529 There is some interesting news being reported this morning that the QPR boss Neil Warnock has sealed an agreement with Arsene Wenger to take the young defender Armand Traore to Loftus Road on loan this season. As Arsenal have already sold Gael Clichy and his replacement Kieran Gibbs is well known to be to be injury prone, the fact that Wenger is allowing Traore to move to QPR will give the Arsenal fans hope that Wenger has got an extra back up lined up for the left-back position. Traore had an impressive loan period at Portsmouth a couple of seasons ago, but has never really convinced Wenger that he is ready to join the Arsenal first team, and was loaned out again last season to the Italian giants Juventus.
The usual rumors and Tweets last night seemed to think this was a done deal, but as per usual nobody knows a thing. We just have to wait and see. But to be honest I'm sick of waiting and seeing, I just want it to bloody happen NOW!!! Grrrrrrrrrr
Did he get a lot of games in for Juve? I think that would make him good enough for us. Wenger doesn't seem a great judge of defenders - he inherited all his good ones from George Graham, so not figuring in his plans is a bonus
