concerned that that this Omar boy seems to take a lot of chances in his own penalty area.
both those kids look shitty
What looks shitty about Perez?
Perez looks an interesting player to me, not too sure about Omar.
We will never get a permit for Perez so its a waste of time.
Somebody said he already got one...
that arab kid is brilliant; massive potential. watched him in the olympics i think it was. definitely worth a punt.
It's strange we're only willing to offer him a trial though considering he's apparently being tracked by most of Europe. Haven't we learned anything from the Zlatan and Niang cases?
His club says he refuse to go on trials.
I can understand Zlatan and Niang, but arab talents normally goes trial because its a huge risk for them and the club wanting them due to the immense difference in culture.

This report is saying Perez couldnt get a work permit.
Some people on twitter saying he has signed for Napoli now. Dont get enraged on the Napoli thing yet as its not confirmed anywhere, but i find it absolutely ridiculous that we waste time and money on these South American youngsters when they can never get a permit or are not good enough in the end ...
Wellington, Galindo, Campbell etc.
Does anyone else think, with the exception of Wilshere, all these loan deals have been not worked out for us? I think Theo would have been ended up something like an office clerk, by now, if we had done the same to him as we did to those guys!
Ashley Cole, Aaron Ramsey and Shezny loans all worked out.
Song's did too.
And Gibbs.
And Bergkamp's.
😆 The only one i would add out of those players is Song. Even then it was touch and go if he would make it. Eboue, also, could maybe be argued to have been improved by his enforced loan to Beveren. The rest. Are you telling me the loans made them? Seriously! edit: Tim gets a pass as he used "worked out".
Szczesny went from reserve keeper to fighting for the number 1 spot after returning from his loan spell.
Did most of his training at Arsenal anyway, to be fair.
Shame about Perez, next...
Szczesny had a great spell at Brentford, I'd certainly say it contributed more to his development than playing for the reserves. It's hard to say whether or not the loans made a positive impact on them really. In the end of the day it's just a bit of game time, not a shortcut to fulfilling potential.
You guys are not wrong in what you are saying (per se?) but i am trying to make the point that Galindo, Wellington and Campbell together with many others have not been particularly helped by the loan process. I mentioned Theo, as an example, of a player who would never have got a game if he had gone on loan to these Spanish teams.
