I read somewhere that Wenger blocked a loan move to the Championship lately to keep him around the first team.
Ya thats true, cant remember what club he was to go to but AW pulled it at the last minute, because he wanted him in the first team. Can an Irish lad make the breakthrough at Arsenal!?? He was on the verge of a breakthrough two seasons ago but got a bad knee injury. Hopefully he can maintain his progression and stay injury free now.Quote:

He's definitely ambitious:
“The manager blocked the loan because he said he wants me around the first team,” Henderson told the Irish Independent.
“This is the final season of my contract and I need to be playing.
“It’s a good sign for the future that the manager is protecting me, but my priority is to progress my career.
“I just hope that a move is arranged after I come back from international duty when the loan window re-opens.
“I’ve been at Arsenal since I was a kid but all I’ve played so far this season is reserve games in the new U-21 league.
“That’s not enough at this stage of my career.
“The plan is to come back from a loan spell challenging for a first-team spot.
“If I have to leave on a permanent basis at the end of the season, so be it.”
He's the anti-Gibson.
Great goal against Italy but if we had conceded that we'd be fuming that nobody closed it down and everyone just stood off him. Like I was saying about the Kazakh goal on Friday, one team's great goal is another's defensive error. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Henderson has signed on loan for Coventry on a 3-month deal. I had hoped he's sign for a Championship club, and Coventry will be under pressure to get results in League One.

It will be interesting to see Barton and him link up hopefully. Looking forward to watching Coventry now.Quote:

By 21 gibson had been on loan at antwerp and wolves playing over 50 first team games and played senior for us.Quote:

Is he hurt? Just reading all the comments back and then the last one....what happened?
I read somewhere that he had some strain (might have been thigh) and was doubtful for a game, but that was 3 or 4 wks ago. Surely that would have cleared up by now. He appears just to be left in the wilderness which is very disappointing. Surely he was promised 1st team football when he signed for Coventry on loan. There's not much point going out in loan if you're no playing first team football . . ..
Yeah, Gibson did all that and then sat around collecting his wages at Manchester United for a few years.Quote:
