Interested in the Arsenal youngster apparently..


Seagulls linked with Arsenal defender - Brighton & Hove Albion FC - Sussex Express

 

[OSRGull]

Been mentioned before, don't know much about the player mind.

 

[stickboy]

Never heard of him before and 19.

 

[severnside gull]

It has been knocking around as a rumour for a week or so as a season long loan. He is 6'4" and started out as a centre back but it seems Arsenal see his future as a left back which is where he has played for the first team. As rumours go it may well have legs. It certainly ticks all the boxes.

Which NSC contributer writes for the Sussex Express?

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

My Arsenal ST holding mate reckons it would be a great signing. He reckons he could be the real deal.
Came through Barca acadamy, Spanish U19 capt, played last year for Arsenal in Champs League and Premiership, but my mate reckons Arsenal are after a Dutch left-bk/ centre-bk and if that deal comes off then Wenger will loan him out for the season, to get experience and to beef him up a bit.
So not total bullshit, may depend if Wenger gets his Dutch target.

 

[Marshy]

Its a done deal

Its a done deal

Imminent!

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

A team full of Spanish flair!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

So, Miquel at left back and Saltor at right back. Flair

 

[Bladders]

All very well this Spanish flair, but will they stand up to the power long ball merchants in the league?

Not really something they grew up playing against and they wont have wet bag Euro refs blowing his whistle for every bit of minor contact.

Spanish football has its fair share of direct and physical teams. Deportivo are\were a good mix of skill and physicality.

Have you not seen the Spanish of old they were butchers I know they have moved on but it's not something they have never experienced and at 6foot 4 he should be able.

 

[philsussex]

Saw him play last season in a pre season friendly against Hastings. It was rumoured then that we were looking at him.

To be fair, he had bugger all to do that day. Arsenal ran out something like 8-0 winners.

 

[The Terminator]

At this rate we are going to need a translator for the English guys we have in our team, just until they pick up the local lingo in their home city of costa del Brighton.

Some encouraging comments from Arsenal fans

Twitter

 

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

Miquel would be a great signing. Have seen him play on numerous occassions and has never looked out of place. Good pace, plenty of height and comfortable on the ball. Would be a perfect fit.

They might be basing it on old news, might be on new info, but this was put online not long ago:

Football premier-league: Arsenal starlet wanted by Brighton... and Barcelona! | Radio talkSPORT

 

[sparkie]

Hope so

 

[ees complicated no?]

I see this as a pointless move, we dont need more centre backs and I now he can play left back but we have bridge now so seems pointless focus on a foward and Midfielder GUS!!!
