Carlos Vela Agrees Terms On New Arsenal Contract
Carlos Vela will commit his long-term future to Arsenal in the coming weeks after his agent, Eduardo Hernández, successfully negotiated fresh terms on a new deal with Chief executive Ivan Gazidis. Vela has agreed in principle and all that remains is for the formalities to be completed and for the Mexican to ink his name on the paper.
The news comes just days after Arsène Wenger confirmed that the 20-year-old is on the comeback trail following a knee injury sustained in training just hours before the Carling Cup tie with Liverpool. Ironically Vela’s first game back should be the same competition as the young Gunners make the trip to Eastlands where Manchester City stand in their way of a place in the semi-finals.
Carlos’ current contract is due to expire in July 2011 and with a handful of Spanish clubs already inquiring about his availability, Wenger has continued his trend of tieing down his most promising youngsters to long-term deals. The official line from the club will be that it’s a ‘long-term’ contract which is expected to be around 4-5 years in length.
Hernández originally sat down with Gazidis in September where tentative talks were held but both parties have significantly stepped things up in recent weeks and an announcement is set to be imminent.

I believe Vela is no longer considered young guns as he is more involved in the first team than the rest of the young guns. Same for ramsey and gibbs.
But I do admit that the future of arsenal is bright with Ramsey, Merida, Vela, Wilshere and Gibbs. Lets not forget those that are already in the first team, but is just equally young, Fabregas, Walcott, Bendtner, Nasri, Denilson and Song.
If the whole bunch of them stays together at arsenal, we are going great. We also have traore, lansbury, JET, frimpong, eastmond, ayling, bartley, nordveit, miguel, hoyte, botelho, mannone, shea, freeman, edge etc.
Arsenal is coming up good.

Now we will score even more goals! =) I hope City play a premier leauge side with Adebayor on field. I hope we win the game.
Jom said this on November 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm
We consider them a ‘young gun’ whilst they are Under 21. Once they get over that then we won’t cover them any longer.
J.Sanderson said this on November 12, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Absolutely peased, because that kid is good he has both feet,pace,skill, brilliance,and brains. every time he’s played in the right position am assured of a goal from him.I think he deserves some first team football…
arnsam said this on November 12, 2009 at 1:55 pm
From when I first knew about him I realised that he will be a STAR in the mould of Henry.
Pure class, skill and right now he is still so raw…the future is more than bright, the future is Arsenal! We have the stadium and the manager….so much more is to come.
BTW I was chanting “One Carlos Vela” once in a pub opposite the Gunners in Blackstock road and someone heard me (Slightly intoxicated I must say) and sang, “One Can of Stella…”
I wonder if this would catch on!!??

Lansbury I really rate and Frimpong and Eastmond could be good if
they develop more obviously in DM. Jay Thomas is an enigma, but that is an 11 (10 listed cos right back we have no one good) of players I’d love to see to make it in our future squad and all for very little money.

Definitely great news!
Speaking of Mexican strikers… J, would you know if there is any truth about us being linked(and supposedly close to signing) with Martin Galvan?

Vela has looked very good with the MNT. I think he will get even better once he gets more playing time and has time to get a feel for the squad.
napoleon said this on November 12, 2009 at 8:22 pm
How about Fran Merida? Is he leaving soon?
Seems that he is waiting to Madrid team to bring back him back to Spain.
eric said this on November 12, 2009 at 8:54 pm
great news, now lets play him for fuck sake. Our second choice striking force is Vela, Nick and Theo. I would love to see those three all up-front at the same time, what a show. Nick and Carlos combine so well.
So Vela is not expected back straight after the international break? I can’t wait for the Man Shitty game.
Stone said this on November 12, 2009 at 9:03 pm
KWE thanks for the advice everything back to normal
ali baba said this on November 12, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Fran Merida will sign a new contract in the next month.Martin Luis Galvan will also be signing but heading to Spain on loan.
Sean said this on November 12, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Lansbury has been called up for the U21’s and Bartley and Watt for the U19’s.

The Entire Country of Mexico Looks forward to Vela and Dos Santos…Sadly Dos Santos is with the Spuds…Me being Mexican, I simply enrage myself when I see how he is being mishandled…
But Anyways…I support Arsenal, and am relieved to hear that the finalization on the new deal is close…VIVA ARSENAL!

According to this site, we’re about to land another Mexican wonderkid
james said this on November 13, 2009 at 9:19 am
Martin Galvan is a good player. He plays in the whole behind the striker. He made his debut at 14 in the concacaf champions league. I was looking forward to seeing him play in the u17 world cup but for some reason he wasnt in the sqaud even though he starred for Mexico in the qualifiers.

The smile on his face when he plays adds a warmth to his style of footy. He is Brilliant. Was worried lately as he was`nt on the radar and crap on the papers suggesting he might be going to spain. Great news. Brill kid.
Oz said this on November 13, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Hope Vela, Merida (and Afobe) wil sign their new contracts on the same day.
That will be a serene call to any young talents out there looking for proper education.

Martin Galván would be able to play in Salamanca with a ceesión of the Arsenal
The forward one of 16 years Martin Galván is near to be become player of the English Arsenal, but its immediate future would not be in that staff, but in in the Salamanca.
According to the newspaper Iberian Tribunal of Salamanca, the player of the Blue Cross would arrive at the team of the Second Division, due to the covenant of contribution for the transfer of non-EU players that has with the the institution Gunner.
“The Arsenal is very near closing the contracting Martin Luis Galván, footballer that, due to the restrictions of the English soccer for non-EU footballers, would saturate in the Salamanca the next season as yielded”, explains the newspaper.
In the event that the negotiation be summarized, would be a similar case to that of the also forward one Carlos Candle, who participated in the staff of Salamanca along the season 2006-2007, for later be gone to the Osasuna.
