He'll get the permit.
The old rule used to be that the player needed to play in 75% of their national team's competitive fixtures in the past 2 years. Elneny has played in 100% of them.
Given the amount of caps + games in the CL/EL he should get one pretty easily.

Sure Bertrand Traore for Chelsea played less international games for a lower ranked country and was given work permit under new rules.

I hope you're right

I'm sure Wenger would have factored all that in before making his move.

You'd think so. May take a little longer to process though

You'd swear Liverpool won the league the way they were celebrating at full time! Sunderland 0 Liverpool 1

Ol' Donie · 30-12-2015 10:21PM

We better beat Sunderland in the cup.

That's all I'm saying.

cson · 30-12-2015 11:10PM

I'd be surprised if we don't - an FA Cup run is the last thing Big Sam will want.

They're perfectly entitled to celebrate an important three points in the race for Europa.
Their rivals, stoke and palace, have been playing well of late and I'm sure a win away at tricky Sunderland boosts their chances of achieving their goals this season.

It feels nice when football is going your way. Like if you're having a ****ty day and you realize "Huh.. We're top of the league!" it kinda gives me a little euphoric kick.

And no.. I've not been drinking :pac:

It sure feels good at the moment.
And yes... I've been drinking and I ain't stopping for fear ill sober up and it will all be a drunken dream.

And is maybe the reason why Hayden is being recalled from Hull.

fingers crossed Sanchez makes it back soon as expected...just watched the highlights of the Man U game - he's a beast of a player!

anyone know latest on Welbeck? he's due back soon too right?

bad2dabone · 31-12-2015 02:20PM

I wouldn't expect to see welbeck or Wilshire before February

Klopp dismissing their title chances this morning after their big win ;-)

I see carragher also saying if we don't win the league this season then it'll be another 10 years before we do. Seriously, what is it with some of these ex pool players.

He's being recalled because he isn't getting enough game time according to Steve Bruce, he'll probably be loaned to another championship club.

I don't see where the issue is with him saying that.I'd respect carraghers opinion when it comes to not winning leagues he's very experienced at that.
A quick check on wikipedia says he played seventeen seasons without winning a league so when that Man says you're not winning a league he's got nearly two decades backing that up. Can't argue with that.

Its 2016 here. Happy new year lads. Hope we all have the same new years wish.

And if a few made a resolution to be a little less. moany or knee jerky it could truely be a wonderful year

Such a ridiculous thing to say. Who at the start of this season could have predicted Leicester at the top or Chelsea near the bottom. How can he predict the next 10 seasons with such unpredictability? Especially with a club so well funded and with so much going for it. Plonker!

Speaking about loaned players not getting much game time, why on earth is Gnabry still at West Brom? I think he's only played 30 minutes football in total there. He'd have more at Arsenal, and had more a couple of seasons back where he would have been less experienced.

bad2dabone · 31-12-2015 06:28PM

I expect gnabry to be recalled. That loan has been very poor for him, he's a player full of potential. If pulls won't play him he should be loaned to somewhere else of course. I'll be disappointed if he's left there for the rest of the season with no gametime.

emergingstar · 31-12-2015 07:14PM

The guardian are saying elneny passed his medical today

I cannot understand why he was loaned out at all.
Would have learned more with our squad surely.

He was never going to get his game. I mean clearly there was no possibility of last year's injury crisis repeating itself, you know the one where Wilshire, Ramsey, Welbeck, Walcott, Rosicky, Ox etc were all unavailable for the wide positions. I mean he was never even getting on our bench this time around.

emergingstar · 31-12-2015 11:22PM

Happy new year folks

tayto lover · 31-12-2015 11:28PM

Yes Happy New Year to all Gunners everywhere injured or fit.

Ol' Donie · 01-01-2016 12:18AM

Happy new year dudes.

I'm telling yis, it's gonna be a good one.

Gringo180 · 01-01-2016 12:57AM
