TF S4DK Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Carlos Vela has received clearance to begin his belated Arsenal career and will be with the squad for pre-season training.The Mexican international signed a five-year contract with the Gunners in November 2005, but was barred from joining up with his new team-mates by Fifa legislation.As a result, he has been forced to spend the last few years on loan in Spain with Celta Vigo, Salamanca and Osasuna.However, with Arsene Wenger keen to bring the teenager into the first-team fold at Emirates Stadium, he has finally been grated a work permit to play in England."Despite the critics that we have received for making Carlos play at Celta Vigo, Salamanca and Osasuna, these spells have been very important for preparing for life in the Premier League," said Vela's agent Eduardo Hernandez."His time in Spain has now come to a close and he is just waiting for his passport."He has worked the amount of time required by the Premier League and everything is going fine."He has been granted permission to play and will be joining Arsenal in July for the beginning of pre-season training."Many people have criticised us for the way this process has been handled but the laws of Fifa and the rules of competition in some countries have meant that we have experienced some problems."But they are over now and a new chapter in his career can begin."

Odviously he aint gonna walk right into the team, wengers gotta work with him, the season after next i predict he will be fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJibbles Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 CARLOS VELA says he cannot wait to finally play for Arsenal.The Mexican striker, 19, has been in Spain for two years because of work permit problems.But Vela will go on the Gunners’ pre-season tour.He said: “I’ve been waiting two years for a work permit. Now my dream has come true.“I have to take advantage of this opportunity to stay in England."I hope I’m lucky enough to be at Arsenal for a long time.“I’ve achieved a lot in Spain. It has been a useful experience to play for several different teams and move around.“At Osasuna I had a difficult experience because of the relegation battle but I always had a place in the team."I played well all season. But I expect to have a much better season next year.“I’m sure all my efforts will pay off."I’ll be playing in one of the best teams in the world that plays competitions like the Champions League - I want those games as soon as possible.“I have changed a lot, I’m more mature as a person and player."I feel ready for Arsenal.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
