I would conclude that Denilson, Bendtner and Vela have all played their last games for Arsenal.

Vela was due to come on loan last season, till his agent got greedy.

Shame, has potential but hasn't yet shown it.

Have you seen Joel Campbell play at all Peter?

Is he any good?

Personally if Wenger knows he is not going to use players I don't know why he just doesn't sell them right up and get them off out wage books.

Vela has been at the club for ages no doubt earned a bit of cash and has done nothing to show for it at all, bar a few chipped goals in CC games where we are already coasting.

I'll bet half the kids we sign can't believe their luck when they sign for us and get paid fortunes at such young ages.

He's still pretty young, so he might come good. But I'm very dubiou he'll ever be a top notch player. Very decent finiher when given the chances to bury, but I don't think he alway applies himself as best he could and I'm unsure he's best suited to English football.

If he had a genuine future at Arsenal I'd imagine he'd be on loan to a team in the Prem. I'd imagine he'll be sold to a Spanish team soon enough.

Personally, I'm more concerned that the club might be considering releasing Alban Bunjaku than them selling Carlos Vela.

Will Bunjaku ever be good enough to make it at Arsenal?

We might never find out the answer to that qestion.

Will Vela ever be good enough?

We already know he won't.

Vela has had his chance and blown it.Yet another player signed by Wenger.How more dross do Arsenal have to sign before Wenger gets his P45

Perhaps it's more of a 'last-chance' scenario. At 22, I wouldn't say he's beyond hope. Very few players have peaked by that age. Wenger might hope that the increased game time will see him bloom. Interestingly, the loan deal doesn't include a buy-out option, while - if I'm not mistaken - Bendtner's has.

This is a Wenger quote from around a year and a half ago:

"What he needs is to be injury free and get a good run of games. He is a very talented player who is maturing now. When you are 17, 18 it is easy. At 20 you realise it is not as easy as it looks. He has gone through that stage now and I am confident he will do well."

Good post - it was good the first time I read it too.

You should really credit the original writer of blogs if you're going to just copy and paste them.
