Hadn't seen a Loan Watch thread yet and we have some talent out there with Crowly, Campbell, Szczęsny (say what you will), Toral, Hayden, etc.

Joel Campbell speaks to why he's out on loan:

Pulled from the Redditz:

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]This is being reported in the Costa Rican press[/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Translation:[/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]After one year at Arsenal why did you decide to go on loan? [/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I made that decision because I'm at an important stage in my football life, an ideal age to grow. When I realized I was not going to play as much as I wanted I thought it would be better to go on loan.
[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]This is your fifth loan. How do you deal with this situation? [/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I deal with it positively because in reality going on loan has always been on my request. I have ambition, I want to play, and I love football. Truth is I don't feel comfortable not playing every Sunday. I don't want to settle for less. Another person could stay at Arsenal, have a good wage, live in a nice city and not playing, but I prefer to leave comfort aside and fight for my dreams. I want to prove I have what is needed to play the game.
[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]So the objective is to play more regularly? 
The objective is to play, grow as a football player. This sport is not forever. I want to keep growing and dreaming with this passion. It is a very nice opportunity, on a great team, and I am happy for the decision I made.
[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Why do you think Arsenal keeps sending you on loan but not selling? [/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Truth is because I ask to go on loan. I want to play every Sunday, have minutes on the field, enjoy it, because you only get to play for a few years. Just because it is Arsenal doesn't mean that I will stay like that, I like to fight, playing is the most important to me and that is why I ask to go on loan. The coach told me he would have liked me to stay but playing is my priority and if I'm not 100% on his plans then I prefer to go on loan and play football.
[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Your goal at Arsenal was to be more of a protagonist, make more goals and assists. Has anything changed now that you are going to a new club?
That is still my goal and I want to accomplish it. I'll do my best effort to achieve good stats and grow during this season at Sporting.[/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]This is your sixth team in five years in Europe. Is this something positive in your career?[/font]
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif] For me it is a blessing. I don't think there has been another player in Costa Rican history that has played in the Portugese, Spanish, and English leagues. I'm proud of it and I like knowing that at 24 years old I've been to all those leagues. It is a blessing that I have enjoyed living in England, Greece, Spain, France and now Portugal and playing in four of the best leagues in the world is not something that everybody can do.[/font]

Wenger confirmed telegraph's report that Chambers will go out on loan.

Wouldn't mind him going to somewhere like West Brom for example under cleansheet master Pulis.

No thanks on Pulis after the Gnabry fiasco, send him to a manager that trusts young players. He also needs to play in an attacking team in my opinion.

Good news though, he needs games desperately now.

Not sure Koeman would take him, but it'd be great to see him end up at Everton. Could give the ageing Jagielka a run for his money, even Funes Mori and Ashley Williams aren't that good so he'd have a chance.

Asano has joined Stuttgart on loan.

Japanese seem to do very well in German Leagues so it can only be beneficial for him.

He should do well there in theory, 2nd tier with a big side.

Ah, completely forgotten Stuttgart has been relegated.

Should have loaned him to a top tier team.

Little disappointing but it's really about him playing week in week out at this point.

He's been given the number 11 shirt, so hoping that means he'll be in the managers plans.

Debuchy and Akpom to go out on loan according to Twitter. You can no longer buy a Debuchy shirt on the club website

So our back up RB is......?

...which is most likely a better option.

Jenkinson most likely.

Porbably Mustafi in fairness, with Holding to come in through the middle.

Carl Jenkinson, we plan six weeks from today. He had to do his shoulders as well - sometimes when a guy has weaknesses and he has a big injury, you take advantage of the fact that he has a big injury to sort out the short ones. That’s what we did with him. He had the two shoulders done [too]. He went through a tough time, Carl. But he’s brave, conscientious, motivated and I think he will come back well.

Joel Campbell had a MOTM performance yesterday for Sporting. Scored a good clinical header too and was surprisingly fit, played the full 90 and didn't look knackered at any point in the match. 

Jack played 30mins from the bench, did nothing of note apparently.

Joel Campbell > Jack Wilshere, clearly

Szczesny with some dodgy keeping again today before Totti saved the day for Roma.

Was an immense finish by Muriel to be fair, much worse was his flapping on the corner for Sampdoria's second. Again though, was one of Szczesny's better games, made a couple of terrific saves too.

This pretty much sums up Wojech..   a bit flappy at points, a moment of loss of concentration (or two), but still able to make a few tremendous saves.. 

was hoping his loan spells would up his consistency, but maybe he will never actually have it

He's still fairly young for a goalkeeper. But maybe. Some keepers never eradicate that erraticity, and some, like Casillas, get worse with time.

I thought he only came off the bench toward the end?

Played the first 70 minutes or so and was barely involved in anything Bournemouth did.

Ah ok. I must have read the match report wrong as I thought he was subbed on then, not off. I still don't think this was a good loan for Jack. Would have been better going to a mid table club or to another league.

Nitpicking, but Gnabry isn't on loan. Great goal though.

City will make top midfielders in the league look like shite tbf. I wouldn't put any stock in a poor performance by Jack at the etihad

Jack was poor regardless of how good City were but then it was only his 2nd 90 start in all football in 14-15 months. There is a reason Wenger agreed to the loan. Wilshere will take 10 odd starts more before he can really show his class.

What a goal by Gnabry

Absolute rocket

What a goal, wow. See ya Serge.

I'm very happy Wilshere is at Bournemouth getting minutes. Early days, but it'll prove a few things one way or the other which is what we need when it comes to his Arsenal future.

Boom!
Very happy for him. Always liked Gnabry.
(shouldn't he be on "gone watch" though?)

How did Jack do? Bournemouth beat Everton so I imagine he had a chance to impress

He was decent, some very good moments but nothing special. He looked fitter and sharper though. Jack will be Jack, he was committed and flew into a few tackles too. What he needs to get better at is the utilization of space. He has never really had the time on the pitch to do that. He is too often stationery pointing fingers and doesn't occupy or run into right space.

Chambers not so good on his first league start for Middlesbrough.

He was beaten far too easily by Son for the first goal. In general looked shaky and dithered on the ball too much.

Boro should have conceded a third goal directly though his mistake but Alli skied it.

Would be shocked if Chambers gets another chance here.
