I think his passing is quite good; it's jus erratic. Song is the same. Coquelin, too, in fairess (though his passing is better than Frimmy's)

Joel Campbell scored vs Nancy. Great finish! 2nd goal.

They all have the ability to pass the ball well, it's more a matter of improving their decision making

by **Christopher Flanagan** Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:22 am

I think that's fair.

by Sami Rockfeller Mon Jan 16, 2012 12:48 am

Or maybe their passing seems bad because they're playing along with the likes of Arteta and Ramsey and all.

...no.

Pedro Botelho must be so bad seeing as we have such a crisis at fullback and Wenger hasnt even considered recalling him, im assuming its written into all loan contracts as, well why wouldnt it be. Drink Driving!? Stupid Turd.

by **Christopher Flanagan** Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:50 pm

He doesn't have a work permit yet. Couldn't recall him if we wanted to.

by **Mario** Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:51 pm

I really don't understand why he's still on our books. He's been on loan since 2007! And at 4 different clubs.

And just to make things worse for him, I translated the article and not only does he lack a license to drive in Spain, he crashed into a parked police car!

---------------

The Brazilian Player of Rayo Vallecano Pedro Botelho was arrested at dawn on Sunday on Monday by the Madrid Municipal police. Botelho collided with a disguised police car, was given to the flight and gave positive control of alcohol which was subsequently subjected when it was intercepted by municipal agents.

The incident occurred at 5: 30 in the morning, when Botelho, to turn back to his car, collided with a camouflaged police vehicle which was parked at the confluence of streets Lagasca with Goya. Botelho not fell from the car and left the place without worrying about possible damage to another vehicle. Minutes later, the footballer of the beam was intercepted by municipal agents in the Plaza de Cibeles, direction Neptune.

Submitted to an alcohol tests, Botelho gave positive with 0.54 in first control rates and 0.50 in the second. The officers proceeded to the arrest of the footballer, who was taken to the police station of Legazpi is accused of an offence against the safety of traffic. Botelho, moreover, does not have permission to drive in Spain.

The name of Botelho is one of those who has sounded during this winter market to abandon Rayo Vallecano, club reached last summer.

by Jenks1981 Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:54 pm

Ah see I was convinced he does have one now but just keeps getting loaned out.

by Jenks1981 Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:55 pm

Since 2007, so by all rights he should have a WP then?

by ChippyBrady Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:56 pm

How is Gavin Hoyte getting on in the reserves? I've seen from match reports that he is playing and still at the club. The 'kid' must be 22 or 23 now but has only ever made a couple of starts for the first team. Considering he has been there so long and is a full-back, is he so crap and terrible that he is never even considered for a call up to the first team especially in the current crisis?

by Jenks1981 Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:56 pm

Yeah he must be sooooooo bad!

Suffered a bad injury last season ruling him out for 6 months, but started playing recently again for the reserves. Haven't see him play live for a while, but really not good enough. Will surely be moving on in the summer.

by ChippyBrady Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:03 am

That clears that up Mario cheers. Seems like he's been there forever.
I've followed the last couple of games that Park has featured in for the reserves. From what I've read, there doesn't seem to be anything to suggest that he is performing well enough to warrant a place on the bench for the first 11. Would I be correct in thinking this?

by Jenks1981 Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:04 am

Park pissed me off yesterday when VP scored they cut to Henry who was smiling and clapping, Park was sat next to him and looked miserable as fook! Bad attitude!

by **Christopher Flanagan** Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:12 am

It takes 5 years to get a European work permit, no?

AS say troubled Arsenal loanee Pedro Botelho was arrested last night after crashing into a police car and leaving the scene whilst drunk.

Botelho does not have a Spanish driving license, so faces a whole host of charges. Just the latest in a long line of incidents.

Why are we even keeping this kid? he's what, 22 now? He'll never be good enough for a Prem team.

Looks like he has just lost his chance of becoming an Arsenal player. Wenger frowns upon such behavior from his players.

by Joey Schwab Fri Jan 20, 2012 12:37 am

Drunk driving without a license, solid life decision. That's the end of that then, I'd imagine.

Not bad for someone who hasn't even played at single game in La Liga this season.

And I know he's in the Segunda but still, not bad
