I get that Wenger see's this lot in training all the time, but I never really understood why Coquelin went on loan so readily to begin with. The qualities he has shown, he has had for the duration of his career..... and I honestly believe that. In that position it can be difficult to shine at a lower level too because much of what you do is about prevention and stopping bad things happening rather than making good things happen.
I agree. I never understood why we loaned him out. It was a waste because I remember him having very good games for us before being loaned out but he never got a consistent run in the team.
