I know the sages on here every so often spout the line that the Albion have some special relationship with Arsenal which means they will loan us some of their up and coming players. Instead they seem to use us as some form of dumping ground for all the cast offs which means their reserve team is not clogged up with players that would struggle to get into the Albion team of 96/97.
Look at the evidence, since we left the Goldstone, with the exception of Sidwell, who was a quality player, although far too ginger, the Goons have lumbered us with;
1. Valur Gíslason, seemingly a footballer, but the evidence suggests otherwise, last seen back in Iceland, supplying Ms Katona with amazing deals on chicken nuggets and non stock items.
2. Graham Barrett, well other than decking a Portsmouth player, he ran around a lot, but did nothing, Craig Davies is more likely to score than this character. Seemingly playing in the SPL, but that is a combination of pub football and monkey tennis.
3. Joe O'Cearuill. Did he really join Arsenal as a footballer? Maybe he was there to wash the kits and blagged himself a game? Went to the north London retirment home at Barnet (one step up from playing for Spurs), but now brewing cider in the west country whilst getting relegated with Forest Green Rovers.
4. Gavin Hoyte, well this one is special, why we kept him on loan is a mystery, cannot defend, cannot attack and on Saturday could not trap a football. Wenger most have thought he had got rid of the Hoyte's when he soild one of them to Boro, but this one is still there. If he has time on his contract with the Goons, please can he clogged up their reserves, rather than ours.
So Wenger, if you are looking to loan players to us, please can they at least have some mantra of basic footballing skills? If you are trying to off load your old tat, please apply at Fratton Park or Selhurst Park.
