Being sent out on loan in January...

[Barmby Rover]

The window will be interesting for Rovers. I doubt JET will be involved with us though, more likely Arsene tries to place him in the Prem this time. I would love to be proved wrong though!

[VikingJames]

Might end up back at Blackpool?

I'd love to see him back here. Frustrating player, but when he was on his game, he was unstoppable at times last season.

[The Red Baron]

I too would love to see him back. However, I think the priorities for us are in different areas of the field. We may want to bring in a defender or (if we can't sort Stocky's contract out and have to sell him) a midfielder.

[BLIR]

I reckon he's coming to us - I'm sure I saw his car in the car park at KMS

I was going to suggest Wolves but Arsene says \" a Club with Premiership quality\"

JR's Bentley's reg is JET 555M or 555 JET so it might have been his car that you saw,

Sounds like us!!!

No doubt in my mind that he would have been perfect for the game at Palace. We lacked a spark, something unpredictable that was going to break them down. They were too quick to close Oster down and therefore cut the supply off to Coppinger so we lost the midfield.

How do you play against JET without giving him too much room and exploiting you? If you mark too tight he'll beat you one on one, and if you leave him a yard when he's 25 yards out he'll get his shot away.

Really rate the lad. But Prem quality? Not quite, not just yet anyway.

[VikingJames]

Says in this article that he could be off to Swansea....

Not sure how reliable it is though. Seems like a bit of a shoddy website so maybe not. However, Swansea do play the kind of football that Wenger will want him to be involved in, plus they clearly have the quality he is after when you look at their league position.

[CusworthRovers]

and so do we, looking at our position. We are better than last year and JET/AW know full well how he brought him on last season. JET will know personally, AW will have read/heard all the plaudits too.

What will be, will be.........as they say

[Alan Southstand]

I can see him going to somewhere like Blackpool, where he'll be up against Premier standard players week in, week out.

He'd be an absolutely fantastic addition to our squad if we could bring him back here and he'd probably make the difference between 6th and 7th position.

[RedJ]

But who better to loan an Arsenal player to than the Arsenal of the North? ;-)

[i_ateallthepies]

It is all about JET's development.  Wenger sees that he needs to be stretched to continue that development.

Alan Southstand is right, it is as much about the quality of the opposition he'll be up against as it is the team he's placed in.

Wenger wants to see him 'blooded' against prem players ahead of putting in his own first team.
