Mark Randall was not included in the Rotherham United squad that lost 5-0 to Chesterfield on Friday night. Manager Ronnie Moore criticised Randall again in midweek, saying he was not suited to League Two football.
Gavin Hoyte will not play again this season after suffering medial ligament damage.
Ryo Miyaichi played the full 90 minutes as Feyenoord lost 3-0 to Roda JC. Miyaichi showed some neat touches on the left but struggled to be involved as Roda ended Feyenoord’s six match unbeaten run.

Wellington Silva was not included in the Levante squad that drew 0-0 with Deportivo La Coruna.
Pedro Botelho played the full 90 minutes as FC Cartagena drew 0-0 with Alcorcón. The Brazilian, who scored and made an assist last week, returned to a left back role and again kept a clean sheet.
Samuel Galindo returned to the UD Salamanca side following a broken ankle but was was an unused substitute as The Union lost 1-0 to Real Betis.
poor wellington silva.
his loan spell is probably one of the worst loan spells anyone has ever had, based on the expectations ppl had.
Loaning wellington to la liga was a big fat mistake afterall.I feel 4 d guy he must be going through some bad patch esp cos of his tweets 4 a few wks
What has he been saying on his tweets?
he has been bitching about feeling mistreated/lied to. sounds like a screwed up little balotelli. we’ve got to get him back home to straighten him out.
hmmm, cheers
home being our home, london, not his.
He needs a visa, so no point bringing him to London. The guy has just got to knuckle down to work and tough it out.
we should loan him out to feyenoord they would defo play him thats if he is good enough i know theres loads of youtube clips but thats youtube!!!!! i still think he will turn out to be good wenger wouldnt buy him if he didnt see something in him
Francis Jeffers?
Mixed fortuned Good week 4 arsenal generally (boys girls young loanee
this is what i think will or should be our team in 5years,
szczesny
de vrij/bartley/vermaelen/botelho
nasri/frimpong/wilshere
walcott/van persie/miyaichi
subs: martinez/angha/coquelin/henderson/
lansbury/galindo/wellington.
what do you think?
If Djourou can maintain his form of this season and Sczsznszszny Vermarlen Djourou triagnle in central defense would be a fortress.
Randall will be dropped after this season, if he can’t hack it in League 2 what hope is there for him to succeed at Arsenal?
Miyaichi by the way looks like something else. Only criticism would be to look up earlier and try to track back more.
His pace on one side and Theo’s on the other would be awesome.
Might be a little bit one dimensional, their pace would be fantastic in matches we look to play on the break, but the advantage of Nasri and Walcott is the variation they offer us going fowards, Nasri will come in, try to beat his defender, link up with Fab Song and Wilshire, Walcott will run behind defenses from through balls out of our defense or midfeild, provide a supply of cut backs and space to shoot for our strikers, an score when put through.
Add to that they way both players are able to swapp wings almost seemlessly, while protecting their full back, the width they provide up and down the pitch, there a fantastic combination. An you wouldn’t want to shed to many of the qualities they provide in the name of pure pace.
so from that summary most were dissapointing.
wellington cannot, of course, play for us, so not a lot of point bringing him back. plus i have read a few articles criticising his attitude.
given the opportunities afforded randall, why is he still at the club.
bartlet and lansbury seem most destined to a future, some of these guys appear to be going backwards.
Agree to all of that.
when i first new wellington and miyaichi were going out on loan i thought miyaichi would be a bench man and wellington would be a starter but miyaichi is a starter and one of feyenoords best player while wellington is not even getting bench time.now im hoping wellington can sort out his attitude which i never thought he had considering he was crying when he was leaving fluminense in an interview.can we just send him to feyenoord and hope they put him on the right of there front 3 silva castaignos ryo is ok
its also good to see galindo back and now i hope he could start getting a few games under his belt and show why arsenal wanted him but i dont see much potential in him anyway but then again i did think wellington would walk in to levantes side and miyaichi would be a bench man for atleast the first couple of months so i hope im wrong and he turns into the next kaka which i have heard he is likened to so just good to c him back.
OK.., im sure somethngs on here.., i don think we would keep him there for long if he was not even on the bench for a couple of more games.., something really is fishy…!!
Great job Miaichi for another 90 mins.., m dying to see how much coqelin might have improved..
@grant- I hope Galindo is betta than Diaby.. any description of him u have??
Really feel sorry for Traore, whenever’s he’s been called upon for Arsenal he has been solid. Arsenal fans really give him a hard time. But after a shaky start and some injury problem, glad to see him start to establish himself for Juventus.
solid? SOLID?
I think pedro botelho should be able to play for arsenal next session.
Does he have a visa?
What some of these lads might need are link workers, who can come alongside and offer encouragement, a shoulder to cry on. But also keeping them focused on the overall goal and aspirations of their parent Club! Removing a youngster away from home and taken to a different environment/culture is a very tall order.
These lads were hoping to come direct to Arsenal, then to find they are sent elsewhere. So often youngsters loose a sense of purpose and direction especially if they feel they do not fit in. Yes! We get feedback as to their progress, but more is required, depending on the individual.
Ah didums poor little kids all that money having to live away from mummy and daddy nothing to do but play football and x box. My parents were there age when they had me, this exactly why we send them on loan to toughen up and be ready for the pressure of playing for one of the greatest clubs in the world. Shame we didn’t send denilson away for a season, perhaps he would then know where his bread is buttered
lansbury, vela and bartley look ready for the first team.. Eastmond and J. thomas are ready but will be sent on loan again. afobe, coquelin, sunu and Watt are not ready yet. wellington and galindo wont have job permits. botelho will receive his permit after 3yrs in spain but may be sent on loan again… hoyte and randall will be sold or released…. mannone and traore are 3rd choice in their position. for miyachi, it all depends on his permit….
We should be more concerned with our under 18s we seem to lose alot of games than about players who are struggling on loan
That makes no sense at all. The players out on loan are much closer to cracking the first team. Their growth is paramount. Who cares if the under-18s lose some games? They are supposed to be developing skills right now, not thinking about wins and losses. Under-18s are in a transition phase this year anyway. Reserve side is about to win the league, by the way…
This site is about youth players, arsenal youth team.
What concearns me is our crop of under 18s are not great.
Every year we should be producing better players.
Thats all. Noah no need to cry about it
i wonder if wellington’s loan move was not so much about him playing, but more about him getting used to being in a professional setup…? learning diet, discipline, manners, routine etc. at the top level. maybe.
Wellington is injured and should be included in next game after international break
I feel sorry for Randall, as he had the potential to be a good championship/league 1 player.
He should have left when I think wigan and some other championship clubs wanted him. He needs to go to another league 2 club and knuckle down.
How do you know that Wellington is injured? I have not heard that news.
Randall’s fall is a real sorry case. Once rated by Wenger as one to watch along with Wilshere, Gibbs and Lansbury, he can’t even start for a league Three side?
Hoyte’ s case is just as sad. Though he’s real fast – I think only Walcott and Vela are quicker – he also seems to have lost it. I remember when he was played against Robinho, though he had a torrid time I thought he was being given a valuable learning experience. It has proved otherwise.
This is the nature of professional football. It’s ruthless!
@the ambassador he tweeted he twisted his foot or so in training about 2 wks ago & he couldnt train but his fine now cos he said he’s bak in training
brilliant our next batch of players are already showing signs of arsenal quality: indifferent results, half of the players are injured! and drama explaining why their form is so kak. well we all know what that means, lets give them hummers, aston martins and whatever else to reward them!
hey J….Levante won the match, there was a late winner in the match.
Hopefully some of this boys can secure first team football with us next year, you have to remember that they are playing with players at the loan clubs Cardiff, Norwich etc who have less technical ability than Arsenal players so I wouldnt look into performances too much because once they are playing with better players it will make them better players its all about them learning and experiencing the pressures of first team football, I am hopiong Lansbury takes Denilson’s place next season, I hate criticising any player of Arsenal but Denilson ahs had hs time and chances, bin of Bentdner for JET and hopefully bartley and Miayiachi (is he gets a special talent permit) can bring something to the first team as well plus with the Verminator back next season it should be all good……come on you gunners
@kun i cant give u a link to a video on galindo coz im on my phone but if you type his name on youtube you can see him on there his style looks abit like kakas but i just dont feel he will make that level
EASTMOMD, RANDALL & WATT…NONE GOOD ENOUGH FOR LOWER DECISIONS…..YET WE KEEP THEM??
Eastmond an Watt are 19 or just turn 20. They deserve more time, but time is running out for Randall.
I know it’s still early but Wellington looks like he’s a terrible signing so far. Whether it’s Spain or England he knew he’d be living away from home so there’s no excuse for complaining about that. Maintaining fitness and weight is just a part of the job, if he can’t even handle that then he’s doomed from the start. Has he no appreciation for the opportunity he’s been given? It’s shut up or put up!
RYO MIYAICHI VS. RODA JC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT_XoL7ZdCM
why are you people blaming wellington?
he signed for arsenal not lavante. maybe he feels he’s gonna be for crappy football team for the next 3 years just to win a passport. please put yourself in his place. plus, have you seen the type of football lavante play? crap!
also you cannot compare him with ryo. japanese are known for their discipline while brazilians are the opposite.i think its lavante thats beeing unprofessional what does tweeting gotta do with playing football. they took our player its their responsibilities to make him feel welcome instead of slagging him off in the paper.they should play him or wenger should send him somewhere better. they play crap football anyway. no wonder he doesnt wanna play for them.
