Welcome to this weekends Loanees Watch – Young Guns’ analysis, reports and updates on the progress of the young starlets currently plying their trade away from the Emirates Stadium. You can read all the latest reports below.
Vito Mannone played the full 90 minutes on his Hull City debut in a 2-0 win over Preston on Friday night. City came into the game in the bottom three but 12 saves from Mannone, including two stunning stops, helped them survive a barrage from Preston and win 2-0.
Kyle Bartley played the full 90 minutes at centre back for Sheffield United as they beat Millwall 1-0. Bartley was arguably The Blades’ Man of the Match, making several key blocks and tackles and earning a rare clean sheet.
Sanchez Watt missed Leeds United 3-1 win over Bristol City due to injury.
Benik Afobe completed his third 90 minutes in a week for Huddersfield Town as they lost 1-0 to Cedric Evina’s Oldham Athletic. Afobe failed to add to his brace and assist in midweek but did come close with a flicked header late on.
Cedric Evina played 85 minutes at left back for Oldham Athletic as they beat Benik Afobe’s Huddersfield United 1-0.
Luke Freeman came off the bench to play the final 15 minutes for Yeovil Town against Dagenham and Redbridge. Freeman came on with the scores level at 1-1 but two late goals, including one from former Gunner Abu Ogogo saw The Daggers snatch the win.
Thomas Cruise was an unused substitute for Carlisle United as they beat Southampton 3-2 at Brunton Park.
Gavin Hoyte wrapped up another 90 minutes at right back for Lincoln City as they beat Morecambe 2-1.
Mark Randall missed Rotherham’s 0-0 draw with York City due to a broken cheek bone.
Francis Coquelin was restored to the bench following the return of Arnold Mvuemba after the death of his son. However, Coquelin did play the final 21 minutes as a substitute against PSG. Francis was booked seconds after coming on for a poor challenge on Ceara. It finished 1-1.
Armand Traore played the final 43 minutes for Juventus on his debut against Roma. Traore replaced Fabio Grosso at left back two minutes after half time.
Nacer Barazite, who scored in the Dutch Cup in midweek, was an unused substitute for Vitesse Arnhem as they thrashed VVV 5-1.
Pedro Botelho played the full 90 minutes on the left of a five man midfield as Recreativo Huelva beat FC Cartagena 3-0. Botelho showed early promise by cutting inside and smashing an effort inches over. Yet Recreativo stepped up their play in the second half and cruised to victory.
Samuel Galindo was an unused substitute for UD Salamanca as they lost 3-2 to Ponferradina.
great stuff :)
Mannone was fantastic, very confident and in control. There were a couple of misunderstandings with his defenders that weren’t really his fault, but he was faultless apart from that.
I thought it was his collarbone that Randall broke, not his cheekbone. It was Bartley who had the cheekbone injury.
Yeah !! And pedro plays for cartagena not ponferradina !
Good weekend for arsenal loanees
Thanks again for the update
Liking the rave reviews Kyle Bartley has been getting. Hope he can stay fit and keep it up and come back to us next season as a 1st teamer.
happy with the news about armand traore from juventus.
What happened with regards to Arnold Mvuemba’s son? Feel really bad, shouldnt out live your children.
Will Samuel Galindo have to play three years in Spain like Vela and Botelho? If so, he really needs to get on and speed his development.
Tony if Galindo keeps getting into the the Bolivian team… he could be with us next yr I believe..
What I don’t understand in Salamnca insisted that they wanted Galindo and we where obliged to loan him to them instead of Vigo due to some past contractual obligations yet they rarely play him.
As for Galindo being granted a visa – he could be earlier than expected if he plays more games for the bolivian national team
Samuel Galindo came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Salamanca as they lost 3-2 against Ponferradina on Sunday. Galindo came on with his side 3-0 down and played a key role in getting Salamanca back into the game though they drop to sixth in the Spanish Segunda Division and are now nine points behind league leaders Real Betis.
it is a good thing to hear armand traore from juventus.and to the rest,,have a wonderful 2011 to all of you..
