SORRY ABOUT THE LQ

Finally managed to get my hands on some Lorient footage and a game in which Coquelin scored his first ever professional goal! He played a decent game on the unfamiliar right side of midfield and has proven this season to be very versatile, shifting from his usual holding midfield position. Will be interesting to see if he joins the first team next season.

@AllSortsOfVideos123 I think you'll find you'll need to slap an extra £5m at least onto all those IN players ;)

[AllSortsOfVideos123]

@CWDGunnereserves Most probably, but we all know Arsene Wenger can often negotiate fantastic fee's! Just look at Nasri for example, signed at a 21 year old with a burgeoning reputation (similar to Hazard) for a mere £13 million i believe. :)

[CWDGunnereserves]

@AllSortsOfVideos123 You're right but even that was a couple years ago, the prices are even more inflated now. We won't get Hazard for under £20m when he has a contract to 2015 and is wanted by clubs who could even pay double that.

0:51 wtf!

@supasaiyn Also, you can't blame Coquelin, a 20 year old, making his first ever EPL start for the 8 - 2 loss. Especially when he came off in 62nd minute and 5 of the goals were scored after he came off.

Also, guess who replaced him?..That's right... Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. Do we blame the Ox for the 8-2 loss? Of course not.

You are a simpleton.

[zebbedi]

@supasaiyn It's easy to spot precocious attacking talent, any idiot can see that the Ox is talented. It's much harder people to recognise good all round footballers. People berated Alex Song for years while I rated him highly and now he is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world.

Coquelin is a versatile player with all of the physical and mental qualities for the demanding EPL, and he cost nothing.

People like you should just keep your mouth shut to prevent you from looking stupid.

[supasaiyn]

@zebbedi no he's not, he was one of the reasons man utd smuthered us 8-2 ! now Oxlade, hes a fantastic player.....if u can we manage to keep hold of Wilshere, Oxlade plus a few more additions, our team would rival the manchester teams.

[zebbedi]

@supasaiyn Except that Coquelin is a fantastic player that has been brilliant for us this season covering midfield, left back and right back.

You are just another clueless person who has no clue what he is talking about and thinks that his judgement is better than Wenger's.

[takussa]

the dream team...

[supasaiyn]

utter shit, wenger needs to stop buying french players coz france are shit now. we need some freakin experience...NO MORE BABIES

[MattySadler]

@MrAtbillings It can only be a good thing to have such depth in that position. Look at Lansbury out on loan, I think he is easily as good as Cleverly at United, just needs to overcome the injury problems. Plus Afobe and Campbell upfront, Miyaichi and the Ox on the wings and the likes of Aneke, Bartley, etc elsewhere. Not to say all of these will make the grade, but it is very promising! Despite this, still need a few signings in January!

[MrAtbillings]

@MattySadler Come to think of it--Coquelin, moreso than Frimpong, is competing for the role that Wilshere most likely will own for the next couple of years.  If he continues to improve, than Arsenal will have some quality depth in that area once Wilshere gets back on the field.

[MrAtbillings]

@MattySadler The way things go I'm sure that Frimpong will hit the scene bigger and earlier than Coquelin, but Coquelin looks to me like the more exciting player. A real bundle of energy, so hungry. I'd say he could clean up his passes, but for a player who will likely play a more defensive "terrier" midfield role, he seems to have great vision and composure.
