To be fair to him he has turned in a few very good performances during his time here, just a shame he couldn't do it consistently. The Portuguese league might suit him much better with a much slower pace and more time on the ball.
I was talking to my dad about Coates earlier this season and when I mentioned he was in his mid twenties he nearly spat his drink out, he thought he was an old timer at the end of his career. I can see why too.
Good news - changing tack a bit - wonder if Debuchy and Ayew are dependent on Arsenal getting the Leicester lb - Ben Chilwell and Swansea Alberto Paloschi from Chievo -the forward they are linked with ???????? - we'll probs have deadline day jitters to look forward to
Debuchy is behind Bellerin and Chambers... he's gonna be allowed to leave for sure, but Arsenal will want some £ for the loan. I hear he has offers from Europe as well, Lille and Bayer Leverkusen... he was a decent full back before his injury, there's bound to be plenty of interest.
