He's gonna leave I think. Kid's looks like he has a big head, as we've seen in his off-field lifestyle. But I don't even need that hotel incident though to make me think that way. Any player from the mexico national team feels like they are a superstar even if they are plain average because they are freaking rediculously obsessed in that country with their players. I don't think we will need or see him next year.

Vela is another one I'd like to see go out on loan, bags of talent but limited chances to show it, and when he does Arsene takes him out of the team :think:

He wasn't that bad, no doubt he still has talent either way

Yea I don't think he was that bad either, he should've scored at the start of the game, but how many did Nick miss and people still stood by him? Nick has had way more chances than Vela, and folks never gave up on him, lets not give up on Vela just yet either.

I just think that LW isn't his best position. he needs to play as striker!

If he's playing off Bendtner or Chamakh, might give him a chance to show his capabilities.

i thought that hotel incident was pretty insignificant really, they threw a party when they shouldnt have, loads of the team were fined, players like spurs dos santos and manures henandez were all a part of it.didnt seem like a big deal. dunno that suggests hes big headed!?

hes always seemed pretty down to earth, gets his head down and tries, doesnt really make a fuss but he hasnt exactly had many real oppurtunities, sure he has had the occasional appearance in which he generally pops up with an assist or a goal but he hasnt had any sort of run in the team which is ultimately they only way for us the fans to effectively judge a player. Obviously wenger has a different view point as he sees his players ikn training.

for me he had a poor game last night but i believe in him, every player has a bad run of form, as has been said already bendy has in many peoples eyes come good, theo finally this season looks to be growing into the potential he held, Songs another good example of playing time turning a player.

im not sure whether he should go out on loan because with our luck of injuries a run in the first team could be just around the corner but thats all i think he needs, i think he can come good, although whether that is as a part of the arsenal squad we'll have to wait and see he has so much competition.

plus he isnt a left winger he has too good a finish for that, he should be playing off a striker or maybe through the middle on his own.

apologies for the essay.

I think it'll be a huge mistake to let Vela go. There's something there, I can feel it. ;)

He will just end up an Arsenal's Ryan Babel though. A kid with loads of potential that will never be able to realize it at the moment because you can't excuse him into the starting 11 right now.
