Don't get ahead of yourself Coquelin. You're a good player but you're young and impressionable. You will have your time, but you have to work for it and learn from those in front of you. Otherwise you will end up going nowhere. Maybe Ligue 1, a promotion contender in the Championship, a mid-table Premiership team, something like that.

That's what I'd say to him if he was reading the forum.

Sometimes I wonder just how much influence these kids' agents have over them.

Coquelin signs new contract

Post by Chippy »

Hope this isn't the kiss of death for the lad. Out injured for the rest of the season?? He's been pretty good up to now and shows more heart than the vast majority of the team.

Genuinely very good news.

If there is to be any hope for the future of our club we need to keep the young talent, and Coquelin is certainly that.

We've seen this so many times before :roll:

Youngster looks the real deal, has a handful of decent appearances then we give them a long term contact and they turn shit...


Hope I'm wrong.

He's a good prospect. Hope he recovers quickly.

Looked awful in the tournament he played for France in the Summer but has looked more than handy this season for us. Still sceptical over him...

Dont get me wrong i like the look of him but a long term deal after less than a dozen games.We give long term deals too early for players yet to prove themselves.We are still paying for it in the cases of Diaby Denilson and Billy Bender

He is a good guy. His skill is better than Frimpong that is a reason why Arsenal lend Frimpong and Coquelin is a reserve for Song. Hope a good future for him.

Of all our youngsters, apart from the Ox, he's certainly one of the best prospects. He was giving it large about wanting to leave a couple of months ago so Wenger has obviously moved quickly to tie him down.
He's one of the few worth offering a long term contract imo, as long as he hasn't been put on 40k plus a week!

its hardly long term - 3 years to 2015.

which is about right in my book for a first team prospect. as we can sell him in just two years if he doesn't step up. .
