O’Brien: Have Arsenal missed out?
Well, today it was confirmed that Portsmouth have beaten Arsenal to the signing of young goalkeeper Liam O’Brien from QPR. Liam played for the Arsenal u-18 side whilst on trial in January, and were reportedly keen on signing him. Portsmouth then stepped in and looked to have won the chase, and they ended speculation by confirming it on their official website today. I really think that Arsenal should have taken the opportunity to sign him, because he looks like a promisin young ‘keeper and we could do with some competition for James Shea in the u-18s next season. It will be a big season for James, so hopefully he’ll be up for it.
Carlos Vela talks about his loan spell at Osasuna. He’s due to return in the summer and it will be interesting to see how much of a part he has to play next season.
A couple of the loanees are also in action tonight, in the English lower leagues.
