Does this guy prefer to play on the left or on the right in central defence, by the way? All I could find about him suggests that he's capable of covering for the fullbacks on both flanks.

Did some research on this. Apparently he is comfortable on both.

Acuerdo entre #Arsenal y #Villarreal para el traspaso de Gabriel. Alrededor de 18 millones de €. El central podría estar viajando a Londres.

La #RealSociedad tenía acuerdo con el agente de Joel Campbell, pero el #Arsenal ha cerrado acuerdo para cedérselo al Villarreal hasta junio.

What's that say? Joel going the other way?

Klaus

Unless I'm mistaken it says that he was on the verge of signing for Sociedad but he'll be loaned out to Villarreal instead until June.

Clrnc

Yep, he was about to sign for Sociedad on loan but will now move to Villarreal instead. Many Spanish sources also claim that he will sign a new deal and then move on loan, like Ryo.

Wenger was adamant he want him to stay... wonder what has changed apart from the fact that Villarreal wanted him in the deal badly.

Came to post this. Damn you!

Campbell on loan as part of the deal.

Alfonso

Never seen him play but he looks like he has some warrior potential.

goon

Nice. Deadline day can do one.

Clrnc

Now we have to worry about the work permit.

11m pound deal with Joel moving the other way on loan. We have finally relented with their request, could have been done much earlier if we agreed the loan which was what was delaying the deal. This means Joel won't start tomorrow's match too.

Mirth

I'll be shocked if he doesn't get a work permit.

I think it's pretty clear that the work permit was what was holding up the whole process. Now we've gotten word that he'll get one so they're announcing it. Why the hell would they publicly bid a player farewell unless they were sure he was leaving?

Conor

Wenger wouldn't of signed him if there was any doubt about him getting a work permit.

Villareal saying goodbye to Gabriel tonight at the match against Levante.

Welcome

Ray

Arsenal haven't announced it, seems like Villareal are being quick to tie this one up, but the work permit issues aren't Villareal's problem.

Anzac

Our most expensive defender = you'd expect him to start, however we paid more for Welbeck than Giroud so I guess price has no impact when talking about AW's favourites/projects.

I'll wait to give any welcomes until we know if he can actually play for us this season.

marv3llous

We have his work permit sorted, wouldnt have signed him otherwise, because Wenger told we need someone now and that's why we're signing him now. We always announce after he has done photoshoots, interviews etc. so as always, we're waiting behind our media machine.

lorddulaarsenal

Have a feeling this guy is going to be awesome
