Arsenal Transfer Window Preview: Vela, JET, and Arsene’s softening stance by GilbertoSilver Gunnerblog http://gunnerblog.com/?p=2686 Can you feel the gusty breeze of speculation upon your neck? That’s from the freshly opened transfer window. 你能感受到预测的风吹进来了吗？那正是从转会窗口传来的。 It’s a time when fans of relegation-threatened clubs pray for a saviour, and title-chasers seek the missing piece in an intricate jigsaw. And it’s a time when Arsenal fans imagine what it might be like to support a team that buys people. 现在正是降级球队的球迷期待救世主的来临，而夺冠热门球队补上关键球员来完成全队的 完整版图。同时也是 枪迷们 想像着，对於所支持的球队会买了什麽球员呢。 If there is to be any activity at the club, it seems most of it will be outgoing, so let’s take a look at those first. 如果球会里目前会有什麽动态，很显然会是转出的消息为主，所以先来看看吧。 OUT 转出球员： Manuel Almunia is likely to be the highest-profile departure. Arsene confirmed last week that there is interest from Spain, and the return of Vito Mannone from an impressive loan spell at Hull suggests he probably has one foot out the window already. Which is, on reflection, a rather precarious position to be in. Manuel Almunia 是最令人注目之可能转出的球员。教授上周证实，确实有西班牙的球会 表示对其感兴趣，而租借在 Hull 且表现不错的 Vito Mannone 即将返队，意味着Almunia 可能早就一脚踏进转会窗口了。但反过来说，也是最不确定是要离开还是要留下的了。 Havard Nordtveit is almost gone already, which is something of a surprise considering how high expectations were for the young Norwegian. Back in preseason, a Gunnerblog profile of the defender predicted he’d be a regular part of the first team squad, but the signing of Sebastien Squillaci and Emmanuel Eboue’s deployment at right-back rather than right-wing saw him frozen out. Now, Arsene says that Nordtveit, 20, needs to leave and play regular first-team football. The manager frames it as an altruistic decision, but the main driving force behind the deal has been the player himself, who handed the manager an ultimatum by refusing to sign a new deal until he was guaranteed more playing time. The result: an impending move to Borussia Monchengladbach. Havard Nordveit 则是几乎走定了，他曾是被高度期待的挪威小子却惊人地在转出名单之 列。回想季前赛之际，我还写了该球员的简介并预测它会成为一线队的固定班底，但引进 Sebastien Squillaci 以及安排 Emmanuel Eboue 放在右後卫而非右边锋，就注定他无出 场的机会了。如今，教授 表示 20岁的 Nordveit 需要离开并在一线队踢球。教授 是以 考量到对方的感受而如此表示，但实际离开的原因是在於球员自己本身，要求 教授 保证 予其上场机会，否则就拒绝签下新合同。结果：不愉快地转会至德甲的 Borussia Monchengladbach。 Carlos Vela is another young player who has found first-team opportunities hard to come by - though when presented with opportunities he’s hardly seized them with both hands. The Mexican has made just three starts this season, and now finds himself behind Robin van Persie, Marouane Chamakh, Nicklas Bendtner, Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri, and Andrey Arshavin in the queue for a first-team spot. Arsene has now suggested that a loan spell might be the answer. Carlos Vela 是另一名年轻球员，曾在一线队踢过不少球，然而当上场机会来到，他却 未能紧紧抓住这样的机会。本赛季墨西哥人仅先发三次，而他也领会自己在同样的位置上 ，在他之前的竞争者有 Robin van Persie、Marouane Chamakh、Nicklas Bendtner、Theo Walcott、Samir Nasri、以及 Andrey Arshavin。教授 也指出租借或许是较好的解决方法 Vela has already spent two loan spells in Spain as he waited for a work permit to move to England. There’s no point in him returning to that sort of football and climate. If we want to try and develop him in to a Premier League player, he has to stay in this country. Most sides in the top division would benefit from a finisher of his undoubted talent, and he could learn some essential lessons about top-flight football in this country. If, however, Vela’s loan spell takes him abroad, I’d imagine it’ll be the last we see of him. Vela 曾租借在西班牙的球会且待过两个球季，并等待领取工作证以回到英格兰。当下看 来，没有必要让他回到那样的足球风格。若想要发展他成为英超的球员，他就得在英格兰 的球赛受磨练。大部分顶级联赛的球队无疑会因他天生的射手能力而受益，而他能在英格 兰里学到关於顶尖足球的经验。若 Vela 会被租借到国外，那我想之後就看不到他了。 Another young South American joins the club this week: Brazilian striker Wellington Silva. After failing to win a work permit, Wellington will have to follow Vela’s path and head abroad on loan, most likely to Spain. 另一名南美小将会在本周加入球队：巴西籍射手 Wellington Silva。自从为他争取工作 证失败後，Wellington 会步上 Vela 的步伐，以租借身分前往最有可能的西班牙球会。 There are a couple of English youngsters in the squad who could benefit from a temporary move: Craig Eastmond could do with learning his trade in the rough and tumble of the Championship, whilst Jay Emmanuel-Thomas could benefit from playing in an attacking Premier League side like Blackpool. We know that JET has remarkable talent, and he’s demonstrated that at Championship level before. Now he is urgently in need of regular games. There isn’t room for both he and Carlos Vela in the same squad. The next six months is an opportunity for them both to audition for the one available spot. 还有两名英格兰籍小将因短期租借而受益：Craig Eastmond 会在竞争激烈的英冠学到 一些诀窍，而 Jay Emmanuel-Thomas 则会在崇尚进攻的 Blackpool 球队踢球而汲取经验 。我们都知道 JET 有着显着的天赋，也曾在英冠展示出不凡的能力。现在他亟需更多的 上场机会。目前的阵容已容不下 JET 和 Vela。接下来的六个月，会是他们最好的机会 来展现自己竞争的优势。 There’s been a bit of chatter about some of the more established squad members, like Bendtner or Denilson, leaving. That’s rubbish. Don’t click it, don’t read it: it won’t happen. 目前也存在一些八卦是针对已经培养起来的枪手球员，像是 Bendtner 或 Denilson 想 要离开之类的。那根本不屑一谈。别去看那些八卦：那是不可能发生的。 IN 转入球员 As well as Vito Mannone, a couple of other players will return from loan spells. Aaron Ramsey is back from Nottingham Forest this week, with only one start under his belt. The snow disrupted his loan spell and made it somewhat redundant, but he could be involved in cup-ties against Leeds and Ipswich over the next fortnight. What a reception he’ll get when he steps out on to the Emirates turf. I don’t expect him to play too many games between now and the end of the season - if he can steer clear of injuries and make the odd sub appearance that’d be great, ahead of a full pre-season in preparation for 2011/12. 随着 Vito Mannone 返队，另外两位球员也会从租借中返队。Aaron Ramsey 会在这周自 英冠球队 Nottingham Forest 返回，并经历了一次的先发机会。大雪影响了他在租借期 间的上场机会，也使他成为过剩的球员，但回来以後应该会在接下来的两场盃赛上场。当 他能踏上 Emirates 草皮时，会有何等的感受呢！我并不指望他能踢完余下的赛程，如果 他能避开一切的伤害；作为替补零星地上场也不错了，并预备好迎接 2011/12 赛程之前 的热身赛。 Henri Lansbury’s loan spell with Norwich will also be up in mid-January, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s renewed until the end of the season. Lansbury is getting vital experience, and making a few waves at that level. Arsene is insistent the combative midfielder is part of his plans, but there ’s no immediate room for him at first-team level. Henri Lansbury 在 Norwich 的租借也会在一月中结束，但我也不会对於租借延长到赛季 末而感到讶异。Lansbury 正在汲取经验，也在英冠球赛里带动攻势。教授 坚称这名富有 冲劲的中场球员是阵容中不可或缺的球员，但在一线队里也没有机会来让他踢球。 “What about actual, proper signings?” I hear you cry. “有没有真正的、实质上的引进？”我听见你在哀号着。 “Oh, erm, yeah. About that…” says I. “喔，呃...，有阿。关於这事...”我说。 “Listen, we’ve come this far. You better have something for us…” “你给我听着！我们都走到这一步了。你最好真的有要给我们什麽才是...”(￣ー￣；) Well, I haven’t got anything concrete. As things stand, we’re not really on the market. But that could change very, very quickly. 老实说，我也没有很确定的消息。同样地来说，我们也没有真正在转会市场中。但有可能 转瞬间就变了。 A month or so ago, Arsene was insistent that he wouldn’t be buying. That stance, like my gut over Christmas, has softened somewhat. He’s now just being absurdly cryptic: 大约一个月前，教授 坚持他绝不买人。但是，最近他的立场稍微缓和了些。他真是荒谬 般地有所保留： “I don’t say no and at the moment I say we are not close to signing anybody. ” 『我没有说不，就目前而言，我只能说我们不接近签下任何球员。』 Presumably that’s because Arsene is sensible enough to recognise the frailty of his squad in certain areas. With Thomas Vermaelen still a good few weeks from returning, any further casualties at centre-half could force Arsene’s hand. 大概是因为 教授 意识到自己的阵容在某方面的不足。随着 Vermaelen 还要再过几周才 复出，除非中後卫群又再传出伤病，教授 就很有可能就会出手买人。 Equally, an injury to Alex Song would leave him without a recognised defensive midfielder. Arsene is reluctant to buy a player who might stunt the development of the well-regarded Emmanuel Frimpong, but Frimpong is still a few months from returning. If, God forbid, Song were to pick up a knock, Arsene might have to open his wallet concrete-covered steel safe. 同时，若 Alex Song 受伤了，就会失去最好的防守中场。但买人也令 教授 为难，因为 可能会妨碍了备受推崇的 Emmanuel Frimpong 的发展，可是 Frimpong 又得休养数月之 久。若有个万一，当然最好别发生，Song 因碰撞而受伤了，教授 可能得打开那层层保护 的保险箱并掏出钱来买人。 - Will Arsene bring in a player without an unfortunate catalyst? Probably not. But that won’t stop us wishing and hoping and praying and rumouring and clicking. 教授 会在没有捉襟见肘的情况下引进球员吗？应该不会吧。但这也不能阻止我们球迷去 期待着、梦想着、祈祷着、八卦着、以及狂刷新网页呢。 The Transfer Window is upon us. Enjoy it while it lasts. 转会窗口已开，平心以待吧。 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ 平心以待， 并为每个枪手球员健康地、高效地踢完球赛而祈福。 (我不贪心，至少来一个冠军就可了，联赛盃也可 (￣ー￣；)) Goal! Goal! Arsenal! We r the Champions ! --
