    @Letters (TPFKA WWTL@WHL) ; can you sticky this thread pls? thks
    Yeah, Benik's 6'0 and 175lbs, Drogba's 6'3 and 200. But Benik will probably put on at least 20 lbs by the time he's 23-25 and who knows he could yet grow an inch or two. I think he'll end up being a pretty big strong striker.

    Interesting article you quoted but didn't answer my biggest question -- what's going on with Coquelin? He was pretty successful at L'Orient. Is he gonna come back and fight for a spot on the bench? (Denilson's spot). Or is he gonna stay out on loan somewhere? And will Frimpong really go out on loan? Wasn't he gonna be fighting for a squad spot this season before his injury?

    The Cardiff City ST holder I work with says that for the best part of his time there JET was useless. Even after factoring in that Dave Jones had him playing wide alot it does seem like we have another player that won't cut it.

    He also said Ramsey was just brilliant when he was there again for his short loan spell, but we know how good he is/can be already.

    From what I saw of JET in the play-off Semi he looked like all it would take is a little more effort on his part and he'd be a fricking beast, out wide or not. I think we'll keep him for a few years given the potential of what he could do but unless he steps it up he ain't gonna make it.

    Which semi did you see?

    I watched the first half of the second one and I thought his workrate was absolutely atrocious. Worse than Arshavin after a heavy dinner and hopped up on horse tranqs.

    Watched the majority of both of them, always like to see the play-offs as there's so much at stake that the players tend to make things happen, nice antidote to a season of Arsenal some would say. That snippet you saw was pretty representative of JETs performances, sometimes he'd track back but one thing that stood out was his lack of hustle when he lost the ball or when it was near him, a guy that size starts fighting for the ball and we'd be onto a winner.

    Arsenal Sign Barcelona Winger Bellerin

    Arsenal have agreed to sign Barcelona Cadete B winger Héctor Bellerin, according to Sky Sports. The Spanish Under 16 international follows fellow La Masia product Jon Toral to North London.
    Bellerin turned down a new contract last month, following a series of disagreements with coaching staff. Chelsea and Manchester United were both initially keen, but Arsenal moved quickly to secure his services. A compensation package of around €400,000 is said to have been agreed.
    The pacy wide-man joins central midfielder Jon Toral in switching from Barcelona to Arsenal this summer, in a deal worth €350,000. All in all, around €1 million will eventually change hands.
    Héctor and Jon both sign three-year-deals with the option for a further two years.

    Ozyakup Signs Contract Extension

    Oğuzhan Özyakup has signed a new two deal with Arsenal. The Dutchman had previously turned down two offers from the club, but Arsene Wenger stepped in to secure the 18-year-old’s services.
    Özyakup had already opened talks with a number of European clubs, as his current contract was due to expire in July. However, after months of frustrating stalemate, Wenger stepped in to offer Oğuzhan the reassurances he wanted.
    Agent Salvador de Mirande explained the turn around, which came after his client was promised a fair chance in pre-season to earn a first-team place.
    “The probability Oğuzhan would stay at Arsenal a few weeks back was very small. We were very disappointed, but a lot happened in the meantime. “
    “He wants to seize that opportunity. Oğuzhan still want to succeed at Arsenal.“
    Özyakup new contracts runs until the summer of 2013.
