Wenger was ready to let Campbell leave in favour of toothless chumps like Wellbeck, lucky they got injured and Campbell got his chance to prove what he can do or Wenger would have let another potentially go, just like he nearly did with Coquelin.Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
Aubameyang has declared he doesn't want to join us and won't be leaving Dortmund anytime soon.
We've apparently opened contract talks with Campbell. Also, Ox had been linked with Chelsea as a replacement for Hazard.
Wow. Now you're having a go at Wenger for stuff you think he would have done if...
Yeah some of the criticism is ridiculous, I'm glad Campbell has taken his chance but he showed nothing until now he was really good enough. Even Coquelin had very underwhelming loan spells away. It's like criticising him for considering signing Deeney, which was definitely a bull shit tabloid rumour.
Nope a friend told me he defo saw Wenger at Deeneys house last week. It was the 20kpw that we offered which put Troy off.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Not really Campbell was brilliant for Olympiakos, so he'd shown his quality already IMO, if the guy who manages him doesn't see it, he shouldn't be manager.
Campbell and Coquelin working out for him are due to luck more than judgment.

Rumours suggesting Monreal has signed a new contract until 2019. Great news if true.
Not Arsenal related but Benik Afobe is on his way to Bournemouth as it looks like Wolves have accepted a bid of 10M.
It was a close call for Campbell. I think if he really kicked up a fuss about wanting to leave, we'd have sold. But let's not speculate on what could have happened behind closed doors. The fact remains that Wenger preferred to play non wingers like Ramsey and Welbeck to Campbell and that's what's frustrating. Good to see he's showing what he can do but I thought he showed enough during the World Cup to be honest. Also, I don't know why people comment on a players loan spell unless they've been following said player. I had the same debate with someone when they said Coquelin wasn't good enough before seeing him play for us and we had loaned him out.
Don't really see the problem with Canpbell's route to the first team? Couldn't get a work permit for him until the summer before the 14/15 season, so he had to go out on loan. Then he spent pre-season with us and got a couple of chances, but didn't look ready, so we sent him to Villareal. Then he came back again this summer, and now he looks ready, so he's in. Sure, he's had to wait behind other players for his chance this season, but that's not uncommon or unreasonable - can't we just leave it at saying well done to the lad for taking his chance when it came?
I think that's fine if it's Ox or Walcott keeping him on the bench. But it's ridiculous to play Ramsey on the wing over him. That's something I can't understand.
