Arsenal have moved quickly to see off the competition...I knew there had to be something wrong after reading that

and ...wait for it....

'Campbell, meanwhile, is expected to be sent out on loan this season because he has not featured in 75% of the Costa Rica national teamâ€™s games, one of the requirements needed for a work permit.'

Let's sign more unknown, unproven, kids that aren't actually eligible to play for us!!

I'm relieved. When I saw the headline I thought we'd re-signed Sol. Still, hopefully his younger brother will do as well for us.

I'm with Quartz Gunner. I'm not going to complain about taking a punt on young talent (I thought Jenkinson looked a good prospect) and this kid didn't cost much.

However, we we're still desperate for a GK (surely Given at 3.5m would have been worth a punt), a CB and a Def Mid (no Frimpong isn't good enough). And a winger (or two). And a left back. Just the 5 then!

A forward who can't play when it's defenders who can that we need

The logic of Wenger

why pass up on talent when it is available?

We all know we need a Defender.

We all know wenger wont buy one. So lets get excited about the kids coming through!

Joel Campbell deal delayed or possibly nixed, Gunnerblog suggests that despite having a medical the player's agent is trying to flog him to the highest bidder.

Yes that well known succesful system of signing ineligible players and farming them out on loan has been paying dividends for years. I mean just look at wonderboy Vela - a couple of years at Salamanca and he produces stunning 3rd round Carling Cup goals and the odd toe-poke at West Brom.

Why change a winning formula eh ?

Arsenal target Joel Campbell from Costa Rica failed to turn up to his London medical after flying over. Rumours that Arsenal have been gazumped for the player by Manchester United.

Nothing changes at Arsenal .
