Carlos Vela, in the sights of Xerez

Arsenal's Mexican striker, Carlos Vela, is being eyed Xerez Spain. Vela, who came to the table gunner after his outstanding performance in the U-17 World Championship Peru 2005, has attracted the attention of the Iberian club to strengthen their offensive line. Apart from their conditions, one advantage is that the attacker does not know the Spanish football, having already played on loan at Salamanca and Osasuna.

Does it make sense to go to Xerez Carlos Vela? From my perspective, not quite. First, the Mexican National team's interest that the attacker accumulates minutes as a striker having no activity or pace is not optimal. Yes, Xerez, Vela would have more opportunities to play. But at what level? Cuco Ziganda's team are bottom of the rankings with just two points in six days. While at Arsenal, Vela shares the bill with players of the highest level, most salvageable from the Spanish club's Venezuelan striker Giancarlo Maldonado.

Personally, I think Vela should stay at Arsenal. While not considered for the league, it does have regular activity in the Carling Cup and has already debuted in the Champions League. I rely more on the words of Wegner, who proved to know how to step by step to strengthening them in young stars the first team. Coming out of Adebayor, I have no doubt: the future of the club shaft gunner's attack on Samir Nasri, Carlos Vela and Nicklas Bendt. It is a difficult decision many minutes on the worst team in the Spanish league, or less activity in one of the biggest worldwide. What do you choose?
