Vito Mannone has joined Championship outfit Hull City on loan until January the 3rd 2011. The Italian stopper is expected to go straight into the squad to face Sheffield United tomorrow.
Mannone will be allowed to complete the season with Hull if both Arsenal and The Tigers are happy with the agreement. The Italian Under 21 international joins City just over a week after publicly telling Arsene Wenger of his desire to seek regular first-team football.
Vito will wear the number 29 shirt at the KC Stadium. You can read a full report on Young Guns tomorrow should he make his debut against Sheffield United.
he will wear no. 29 If I am not wrong
and this is good for szczesny and mannone
Szczesny will hopefully get more cup games and this loan will help mannone forget about the dreadful mistake he made for italy
I dont see Mannone becoming our no.1 but I do Szczesny becoming our no.1 and hopefully this will mean he signs a new contract
Mannone can do one, he is rubbish, rather have John Lukic back.
Any news on szczesny signing a new contract ?
Nice news Hope both mannone and Szczesny get chance one with tigers and one with us. And let’s hope szczeny renew his contract.
Thanks for good news j
good to see that the spam filter is working (NOT!).
anyways, here’s what i wrote:
how is this good for chesney? won’t this mean that he only gets to play 1-2 games this season in the carling cup instead of playing full time with some championship team for a few months?
this will mean Szczesny will play cup game (7-8 minimum) and reserves games around 10-15 games which is very good for the boy
And then he might even get bench action for the league games and who knows one of our goalkeeper gets red carded comes in wins us the games and just doesn’t leave for the next 2 decades (just a thought)
Szczesny has already said many times that he needs REGULAR playing time and that he has no interest in reserve matches. He probably knows that he’d likely get a callup to the full national team if he were playing regularly, since virtually all of Poland’s players are benchwarming or simply mediocre. So giving the loan spell to Mannone may not be the best idea if Arsenal want to keep Szczesny happy.
meant to say Poland’s *keepers*
Wasn’t the deadline for loan moves supposed to end 2 weeks after the transfer deadline? Is this a case of Hull in a gk crisis and so have been permitted to draft someone in or is the loan deadline non-existant?
Wengers already said Chesney will be no.1 in the future and has alot of faith in Fabianski so doesn’t look like Mannone has a long term future with us. Probably leave permanently back to Italy at the end of the season.
Mannone has no future at arsenal.
I am scared ches wont sign a new contract
if fabianski turns out to be good i have no problem with him being our 1st choice keeper but ches looks like an awesome prospect
I’ve never heard so much rubbish.
Mannone signed a new contract in January to keep him with us until 2014. Does that sound like a player with no future at the club?
Last season Szczesny went on loan and Mannone was Arsenal’s no.3. This season Mannone has gone on loan and Szczesny seems to be the no.3. Neither player is being given preference over the other, both will have opportunities to prove themselves, and this competition between the two young ‘keepers can only be a good thing.
J. any truth in this?

Kara Mbodji has taken Premier League by storm this year.
Senegal is tied for fourth in VG player exchange. Friday admitted Tromsø sporting director, Morten Kræmer that Arsenal are interested in Kara. Today was the scouts from the big club on Alfheim.
The main character admits of possible talks
The player himself admits that he might be in talks with the club during the evening.
– I know that Arsenal were here, and I try to shut out like that in combat situation. I do not know what it is yet, but it is possible I will be in conversation afterwards, Kara says to VG Nett.

Sports Director not as talkative
– No comment, Morten Kræmer answers to questions about Kara and Arsenal, before he eases a bit on the veil:
– There were several clubs here today, they have been here to see a match. There will be no meetings in the evening.

After the AP has learned there is talk about Arsenal, Hamburg and Ghent.
– Kara take things with their own agents and advisers. We have nothing to do with just that, explains Kræmer.
AP reader:
Selling Kara to 30 million would be fantastic. I hope this interest is serious.
Discuss here!
Kara signed a four-year contract when he came to Tromso from Diambars Academy earlier this year. He thus has three years left of his contract with Tromsø and can not really enter into talks with other clubs without permission.
– There is no problem for us, they’re welcome to run calls, continuing sports director.

– Kara owned the midfield
According Tromsø coach Per Mathias Høgmo was no wasted trip for the three clubs.
– Kara and Ruben (Yttergård Jenssen) owned the midfield. We make a good game, so of course it is bitter that we lost, “says the coach.
Do you know something about him?
it seems Mannone has been the most solid when playing for us out of he, Almunia, and Fabianski.
