Luda,

Many were not impressed by Carlos on Tuesday where he played 90 minutes and what we are saying it’s that one full game is not enough to understand how good he is and can be.

I have watched all Mexico games lately because of him and yes, he there showed he is a very talented player.

Vela will be one of the best players to ever wear the gunner shirt!!.. Not claiming to know more than Wenger, but in every video of Vela (youtube) he plays left or right Winger, mostly left.. Im happy hes getting a contract extention, as it would be a HUGE mistake to let this kid go. Eduardo is definitely more experienced but only in minutes played.. as i found that Vela is much more creative, technical and way faster..

I stick with what I said about Vela. The likelyhood of both RVP and Bedntner being injured at the same time,and Eduardo only slowly coming back to the form he was just establishing when he got injured,leaves Vela as 4th. choice.

For some reason or another AW is persisting with Vela,even though he has only started him in two League games.he got his chance only because of our injury crisis,yet maybe he is a long term prospect,if he is prepared to wait.

Please don’t misunderstand me, I think he could be an integral part of the team,but if he doesn’t get a run in the side,we will never know.

Ah that’s 100% true, people expect to see miracles from him in one game, he needs 5, 10, more to be judged, not one.

Agreed chris
Vela is a bit too unselfish.
Either way no one can really rate vela yet. As this was his first full game, and he had made 2 very limited appearances before. He needs more time on the pitch.
I think arsenals future should be a 4-3-3
with bendter at central, and vela, and walcott at the sides

I agree. He created a lot of space for everyone to take their shots, but no one seems willing to set him up when he put himself in good positions. Besides being greedy, an explanation can be that some of the regulars are not use to playing with him so they haven’t built a good understanding with Vela in terms of knowing when and where Vela likes the ball. But, for me it was more selfishness and players playing with their head down to even noticed him open.

I’ve seen some highlights of the game and Carlos did indeed make some nice runs but the problem was that his team-mates didn’t pass the ball, they just took advantage of the space he created to go for goal themselves.

Well I would rather have seen Vela on the ball, and being a striker.I make no apologies that I don’t rate him in front of Eduardo, and then you have Walcott also wanting to play the central striker.the 3 diddy men, is not the solution.I would go as far as to say that we will be in for a striker in january,no time for experiments as RVP is a huge loss in his new adopted striker role,and Bedntner was just coming into his own.
