Carlos Vela @ the dumbass league thedragonrik58 likes (Los Angeles FC)

That’s not exactly true. Vela was really young and inexperienced back then, that said, he was not a bad player. His problem was simple, Arsenal played with a single striker, Vela back then gave no ********s about defending, and Walcott was always going to be favored due to being a English young talent. But him not defending really ********ed him over back then. He had the talent but was still very far away from being a starter or important attacking player, he needed to prove himself as a team player and failed at that. Wenger couldn’t rely on him as a winger in his system.

 

Hmmmm

So if he only performed in Cup games, one would think he would earn consecutive starts in those Cup competitions. He rarely did.

That was one of the biggest criticisms against Wenger, that even when Vela played and scored in Cup competitions, he rarely started back to back games.

Which is why he went to Real Sociedad and started showing what he could do with consistent minutes, there was a debate amongst Arsenal fans as to whether or not that approach could've helped in his development while he was at Arsenal.

I also watched all of Vela's games at Arsenal.

 

The fact is, Wenger preferred Walcott and Chamakh over Carlitos. Welp, their loss.

 

Went to the game last week.

LAFC con un buen ambiente.

@thedragonrik58 were you there playing your drums?

 

No, unfortunately. I was at school taking notes. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

 

When the rumours of Vela to Barcelona were bouncing around all over the media outlets, some Spanish old head called Vela a "Culo Gordo" since I stopped following Velas career when he decided to join the MLS does he really have a "Phat Ass"? Is his extra weight obvious or just media Bs.

 

@thedragonrik58 can confirm.

 

In today's preseason match, Vela scored the game-tying goal in a 2-2 draw between LAFC and Atlanta United.

 

I thought this a practice at first.

 

I can see Mexico losing both Pablo Sisniega and Abraham Romero to the US.

 

Meh

We got Gudiño & Jurado coming up to back up Memo

 

So a future Nad

You know how much they love to poach Mexican & German players

 

Yep, last preseason game. I was there drumming, it was the only goal of the game. He got hurt though. [emoji53]

 

Didn't Romero already switch from the US to Mexico? Can he switch again?

 

Vela is elegant footballer.

That solo run..

He destroyed the Wiz defense.
