Ramsey, Vela, Lansbury all set for loans

Posted Saturday, January 22, 2011 by Arsenal.com

Arsène Wenger is planning January loan moves for Aaron Ramsey, Carlos Vela and Henri Lansbury.

The trio have had limited first-team opportunities of late and the manager has revealed that some temporary deals are in the pipeline.

Ramsey is still searching for full fitness after returning from a long lay-off and was frustrated by a number of postponements during a month-long spell at Nottingham Forest at the turn of the year. Vela has caught the eye of a number of clubs while Lansbury is heading back to Norwich where he has already impressed this season.

“I am considering to give Ramsey one month out on loan, with a possibility of him going to Cardiff,” said Wenger at his pre-match press conference.

“I don’t want [Ramsey] to go to a Premier League club because I want him to finish the season with us. I just look for competition for him.

“There is much interest in [Vela] for a loan, that is what I want to do. We have plenty of clubs who are interested in him. At the end of the day I look for a guarantee [that he will play]. For him, he has as well to agree to join the club who wants him.

“Henri Lansbury might go on loan as well, [to Norwich].”
