Kerrea Gilbert

Post by Tomo »

Does anybody on here know where he was today. When he came into the team a few years ago he looked a cracking prospect. I heard he has returned back to The Arsenal from his loan spell. Sure , playing him today would have thrown him in at the deepend, but he might have been able to do a better job than Hoyte.

I agree with you mate. When he first came into the team a few years back, he looked very good, pace/power/could cross, a la eboue (in his good days). i say give him a chance. hoyte doesnt cut it for me.

I don't think he'll be good enough for us. He struggled on a loan in Southend who are in League 1 this season and he wasn't a regular in Cardiff last season. I expect him to leave us in the summer.

Thanks mate, i didn't know how he had done on loan but was very impressed with him when he was in the team at full back a few years ago.

He's usually out on loan t oColchester or someone, that usually happens with nearly every English Arsenal player here. Connolly now gone. Bentley now gone. Hoyte went o loan to sunderlandfor the 2005/2006 season. Randall on loan to Burnley I think. Gibbs on loan to silent norwich. Ryan Garry Dunno about him.

Gilbert was not played regularly when he was sent on loan.

He looked a really good prospect two seasons ago.

I think he might be suited to the right wing role ahead of Sagna.

As for Ryan Garry, he had two leg breaks in succession. The club treated them, but I guess his expectations lowered because of that.
It was decided after that he would be let go.

He looked a very good prospect too.

remembeer when he set thierry up
always liked the sight of him playing but dunno if it'll be the same sort of praise i'd give him now. the loans haven't done him good as he didn't get that many games i hear off
& ryan garry can't judge him never saw him play but he always injured thus being the reasons he was set free from the Arsenal
