Two more youngsters join the Arsenal diaspora

While the headlines are being made by big name first team exits, Arsenal continue to loan out players like it’s going out of fashion.

Already this summer, Joel Campbell, Wellington Silva, Benik Afobe, Ryo Miyaichi, Denilson and Samuel Galindo have secured temporary moves away from N5, while yesterday the club confirmed that young centre-back Daniel Boateng will also spend the next six months away at Oxford United.

The 19-year-old, who made his Gunners first team debut in the Carling Cup last term, spent two months on loan with Swindon last season and will be looking to further impress in League Two.

Having signed a long-term contract in November the teenager still has a future at the Emirates, although given the manner in which Kyle Bartley, Henri Lansbury, Gavin Hoyte and Rhys Murphy have been sold it would appear he only has a couple of years to make the necessary breakthrough into the first team setup.

Ireland youth striker Philip Roberts is another who will be continuing his education elsewhere this season. The 18-year-old tweeted yesterday that he’d sealed a deal with Scottish Premier League side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Arseblog News fully expects similar arrangements to be agreed in the coming days (and weeks) with a raft of first team, reserve and youth players eager to play more regularly.

I still can’t get my head around Lansbury being dropped like that.

Miyiachi is another one I’d like to have seen this season. Oh well.

JustAnotherGuy

Plus he was struggling to get into the West Ham side last year.

well, to be fair, he was doing very well for West Ham, then got injured for a few months and couldn’t regain his place. While he was playing they were ripping up the Championship.

I hope that a hefty sell on clause is inserted. The boy will make it, in a couple of years time..

Merlin's Panini

Lansbury is a good player, no doubt about it. But with Ramsey, Diaby, Wilshere, Rosicky, Arteta, Cazorla, and Ox (and probably someone else to come in) all ahead of him, along with arguably more talented players (Gnabry, Eisfeld) coming up the ranks, he would just struggle for game time. He’s coming up to 22, which means he would take up a squad place when perhaps he’s not quite ready for it. He couldn’t just spend his season playing cup games, which could get cut quite short if we were knocked out. I’m sure it was quite mutual in the end,… Read more »

Ah well, at least he can look back on his Arsenal career and think “hey, at least I scored against Spurs!”

Beside when we sell a youngster we don’t it with such a clever way that we still own some of the player. We put percentage close for a further sell like with Bentley, Diara ect. And first option buy back.

Say for example Lansbury became The Arsenal standard player, we have on him 50% future sell close and first option refusal in his contract, say Forest wanted to sell him for 15 million, we only get to pay 7.5 million as we own 50% of his future sell. That is why we sell them for reasonable price to those teams.

I for one I’m not surprised he’s gone, many of you here think otherwise on the basis that he’s been with the club since his childhoof and that it’s only fair he be given a chance with the first team. When you’re not just quite CUT for it then all that goes out of the window.

But he’s a true gooner, never to be forgotten.

Bob Smith

Can’t wait to wake up to the first “Arsenal in Crisis” headline of the year

Craig

Always great when the young players go out on loan. The experience is far more valuable than reserve team football

Fatcunt

The under 21 league and next gen series i’d say is helping the youngsters settle in. Any thought of leaving the club will now be forgotten, keep ’em active.
Also wenger will be watching all of those games, gives them some sort of a motivation – to prove themselves.

Loaning out youth players is just one in a series of steps needed in preparation for a chance in the first team.

It doesn’t always work, of course. But it’s far better than having them ‘bide their time’ in the reserves.

If a player is good enough and has the right attitude then they will always impress. Just like Jack Wilshere did. Just like Nicklas (gulp) Bendtner did. And just like Wojciech Szczesny did.

It’s where they learn about ‘real life football’.

I live in Oxford and try to catch as many Oxford games as I can. Hoping Boateng can help for a promotion push this season.

Merlin's Panini

good luck to you. Hope he does well there.

one day i’ll see Ryo Miyaichi actually playing for arsenal, and that day will be a special day

Nick

I’m glad he’s getting a loan out. He’s a very promising young talent but he’s nowhere near ready for the first team. I think he’ll probably spend the next 2 seasons out on loan before he gets a whiff of the first team. It may sound cruel & even though I really rated Lansbury highly I’d rather he go where he is gonna start playing all the time. If he comes good and truly establishes himself as a premier player I hope Arsenal go and buy him back. I think Arsenal are finally getting tougher with players in terms of… Read more »

Disappointed to see the Orcs loose last night.

Bee

poor old orcs, they deserve better …. cough cough

Merlin's Panini

the prophecies are beginning to come true. Stoke out of the league cup straight away to a league one side! Pathetic.
FA cup next. Then relegated.
Amen to that.

Bee

day by day, year by year, loan by loan, we are gradually taking over the world

ETID
