On Thursday afternoon, Arsenal announced 18 year old midfielders Kieran Gibbs and Mark Randall would be going out on loan, Randall to Burnley until the end of the season, and Gibbs to Norwich for 3 months.
This morning articles on both clubs official websites appeared with quotes from the players news managers on the new signing’s.
Gibbs Talking To CanariesWorld said on the move:
“I spoke to the chief scout and my academy director and they said that he (Wenger) wanted me to go out on loan to somewhere that’s a good stable club, somewhere where they like to try and play football, so he thought Norwich would be a good place to come and get that experience”
“I only found I was coming last night and I looked them up on the website and saw that they’re just coming out of the relegation zone and starting to get back to playing well.
“I haven’t had that experience,” said Gibbs I’ve had one or two games this season but I think it should be interesting.
“This is the nitty-gritty part; the part which should toughen me up mentally and physically as well, so I think it should be good”
“Just hopefully someone who can bring a change to the game. Not just when we’ve got the ball, but when we haven’t got the ball – I can work hard and help the team win.”
Norwich Manager Glenn Roeder Also Spoke On Gibbs Saying:
“The young lad from Arsenal is highly technical and highly talented,” he said. “One of the players that Arsene rates extremely highly and who he expects to have an Arsenal career, and that’ll do for me.”
