YOUNG GUNNER HENRI ON LOAN
Arsenal sending superkid Lansbury to Watford
LOAN PLAN - Arsene Wenger
WATFORD look set to land one of Arsene Wenger's superkids on loan.
Henri Lansbury, 17, an England Under-19 right-sided midfielder, made his debut as a sub in Arsenal's sensational 6-0 Carling Cup victory over Sheffield United.
Now Gunners chief Wenger is set to give him more experience by letting him go to the Championship side.

Richard have you actually seen young Lansbury in action?
Henri, who at 17, recently put in a man of the match performance for England U19s against Holland. It has to be noted that he's only recently made his comeback from a long-term injury which has put his development back quite a bit. He said himself recently, he's still not 100% fit yet.
He is certainly one of a number of exciting prospects emerging from Arsenal's Academy.
Although he's currently playing on the flanks for Arsenal, he'll certainly end up playing centre midfield in the long-term.

Aidy will always give a youngster a chance if he is good enough. With the injuries at Watford we need a good right sided midfield player to give us more options. If he does come to Watford it would be good experience for him.

He can come to Q.P.R. We need some fresh faces at the moment.

going on loan is a good sign for lansbury as wenger uses loan spells to bridge the experience between reserves and first team. good sign then for lansbury

Let's be honest, Watford are about the lads level. He will never make it at Arsenal, he just aint good enough - Sorry but that's life!

i think the same as alex give the lad a chance in the first team after the last 2 offerings in the premership we certainly will notwin more than the tin pot carling pot so we have nothing to lose

I doubt he's going anywhere until after the Carling Cup campaign is over. Arsene is serious about winning it with these lads. Yet, loans are good for the youngsters, Bendtner & Song started yesterday, Djourou was on the bench, they've all had loan spells in the last few years.

HENRI LANSBURY going on loan instead of being given a chance at ARSENAL. I wonder whether he is going to be another Bentley and then sold???
