Arsenal starlet extends loan

Posted on October 10, 2012 by admin

The Arsenal starlet Chuks Aneke was sent off for a months loan at Crewe Alexander but it all went wrong after just 73 minutes of his debut against Stevenage when Aneke made a mad two-footed challenge on Stevenage’s Anthony Grant which resulted in straight red card and an automatic three-match ban.

This meant that he could only play in one more game during his loan period, but now Arsenal have sensibly extended his visit to give him more chances of gaining first-team experience at Gresty Road.

Aneke was more than happy to learn of the extra month agreed between the two clubs. “I am delighted the club have extended my loan I really want to stay as long as I can as long as I am playing and I’m happy to play for Crewe.”

Aneke, despite being just 19 years-of-age, has been at Arsenal for 11 years already, and made his senior team debut last year in the Carling Cup and scored six goals in just 10 games for the reserves. He also scored last year in League One while on loan at Preston and if he continues to progress he could well be the next young star to emerge from the Arsenal Academy…..

Arsenal offload another promising England U21 starlet

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Bob

The 21-year old midfielder Henri Lansbury has been with the Gunners since 1999 but has never managed to break through in to the first team. After a number of successful loan spells, Lansbury held talks with Arsene Wenger to get a clear idea of whether he had a future at Arsenal. After featuring a little in pre-season it was obviously decided, whether mutually or not, that he should move on.

Arsenal have now agreed terms with Championship side Nottingham Forest in a deal worth around £1 million. Forest are due to announce Lansbury as their new signing tomorrow, according to the Daily Telegraph. Forest will be hoping that Lansbury can make it three promotions in a row. Last year he made 22 appearances for West Ham, including  the successful play-offs.

The previous season Lansbury played 23 league games for Norwich City, scoring four goals and getting five assists to help them gain automatic promotion. He is a good example of Arsenal’s successful youth policy and we wish him well for the future.

Arsenal fans might remember him fondly, as he scored his only goal for Arsenal  against Tottenham in the Carling cup in 2010. It was a game that Arsenal won 4-1 and Lansbury played the whole game which he described as being “like a dream.”

Lansbury has made 14 appearances for the England U21's and has scored 5 goals. Surely he would be worth a lot more than £1 million in a few more years?
