Hector Bellerin: The B's Knee

[Kingslayer]

From that article...

"Bellerín signed a new six-and-a-half contract at Arsenal last November, which is worth £115,000-a-week, and he did so partly because he was told at the time that Wenger would extend his stay at the club beyond the end of the season, when his present deal expires."

I think it's all just an excuse to go to a warmer country.

I think it's all just an excuse to go to a country.

if he wanted to go this summer he wouldn't have signed new contract.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

if he wanted to go this summer he wouldn't have signed new contract.

It was said tongue in cheek, but I forgot to put 'warmer' in. I think Henry signed a new contract so that we would get money for him rather than him going on a free.

Now we're being dictated terms by a fecking 20 year old right back.

 

[Beksl]

It just seems some players are not fighting for the Club but for their father figure Wenger. And they're doing a lousy job because they know whatever the outcome they won't see any reprecusions from Wenger.

They can all FVCK OFF if they think Wenger is above the Club.

Can understand Bellerin leaving us if Wenger left wenger is the guy who give Bellerin the chance and made him one of best right backs in PL.

Would be interesting if Wenger gets the Barca job.

The guardian reporting that Bellerin would consider a move to barca if Wenger was to leave at end of the season. Not sure what to make of this, but all these reports of players possibly leaving if Wenger does are not very reassuring. The club is supposed to be bigger than the manager.

There is nothing in that article other than old quotes by Özil... which the writer somehow extends to Bellerin..? What?

 

[bingobob]

If he wants to leave then let him. What's that coming over the hill it's Carl Jenkinson!

Yeah, like I said, not sure what to make of it, no quotes of the player or his agent, no 'source close to the club/player.'

I really hope so but surely Barcelona aren't stupid enough to let us "Alex Song" them again.

I'm afraid I don't understand. You hope they get Bellerin and you don't rate Bellerin?

 

[Dokaka]

He's been underwhelming this season. He can only rely on his ridiculous athleticism for so long, needs to develop in other areas. Still a fantastic prospect though.

Somewhat scary how a lot of your players seem to be manager first, Arsenal second. Shows a real lack of passion for the people paying their wages every week. It's all part of this cult of Wenger.

 

[GDeep™]

Arsenal aren't a big European club historically, Wenger is an icon, it's natural for players to be attracted by, and then loyal to Wenger.

 

[Gervais]

If a player is playing for Arsenal solely because Wenger manages the team, they need to be sold as soon as the transfer window opens. ****ing wankers.

 

[GDeep™]

When Bellerin made his statement after signing, the main part of that statement was about Wenger, not Arsenal.

It's Arsène FC for the elite plater. Don't blame the manager or player, look at the reasons behind it, Arsenal have no history and are a work in progress.

 

[STYLEZ]

Nonsense if you ask me his said countless times "if I wanted to play for Barcelona I would stayed there" what more do we want from him.

It's all paper talk...

Even if Wenger does leave these players are contracted to the club and can't just leave cause the old sensei has had it on his toes of course they'll wait and see who comes in before making any demand to go on a transfer list.

We got a top coach I'd think we'll be alright we get somebody like Eddie Howe then I'd be worried.

I'm not even to sure Wenger will leave now it's all hot air after the Bayern game if he beats Liverpool, puts a good run together and wins the FA Cup let's face it his going nowhere and will resign a deal.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

People seriously think the name Arsenal is enough to attract/keep elite players, what planet have people been living on? Look at Liverpool.

Alexis, Özil, Koscielny, Ramsey, Bellerin, etc are all only here because of Wenger and they're likely to question their futures should he leave. They're loyal to Wenger first and foremost. What does the name "Arsenal" mean to Alexis a guy from Chile? Absolutely **** all, he's here because we paid Barca what they wanted and he was convinced by Wenger to come here. He wasn't itching to come here because he thought Arsenal were this massive club.

He's only been underwhelming after his injury, where the team as a whole has been ****. He was utterly superb before that.
