Carlos Vela

Despite the best attempts of Carlos Vela, Real Sociedad could only draw against Osasuna. Both teams stretched their unbeaten run in the domestic campaign to 6 matches, although both teams will be unhappy that they could not win the match.

Real Sociedad would have been happier after two given that they could take at least one point away from the match, as it was Osasuna who completely dominated the match from start to finish. Carlos Vela only had a few chances to touch the ball, let alone score, as it was largely a game of tight defences and tactics.

Carlos Vela has had a frustrating week playing for Real Scoiedad. whilst he has become an integral member fo the team on his loan spell at the Spanish club, Vela has been left dreaming of the service and attacking play he is used to at the Emirates. The Mexican played a total of 180 minutes for Real Sociedad, but was unable to bag himself a goal or even his team a point.

During the week, they went down 3-2 at high-flying Levante; an exciting game seemed destined to end a 2-2 draw, before Ruben Suarez stepped up and scored a magnificent free kick to win the game in the 93rd minute.

Javier Hernandez—more commonly known to the world as Chicharito—took a perfectly placed pass from Rafael Marquez and, as he has so many times since, found the back of the net with beautiful precision. It was his first World Cup goal, and he scored it against France.

Roy Hodgson has said that Carlos Vela has been disastrously handled by Mexico and is worried about his future.

Vela is due back in England later today after more than a fortnight away — first to visit family in Mexico and then for two friendlies for his national side in the United States. But, after

Vela figured for a total of around an hour over both matches, Hodgson believes the trip will have done the 22-year-old more harm than good.

“I think it’s disastrous to have players go away for friendly matches for the length of time it takes to go to Mexico,” said Hodgson.

On-loan Arsenal striker Carlos Vela was the difference between the West Brom winning a point and a losing at according to Brunt .

He reckons that the quality has been evident throughout his month-long spell at Albion.

“I think if Carlos Vela was a secret weapon for us then he won’t be now,” Brunt told the Birmingham Mail. “He’s looked pretty lively in training and we saw last week what he can do.

“We’re glad to have him on board for the rest of the season. He’s enthusiastic and Arsenal don’t have many bad players.

The expectations on Carlos Vela to show his good performance in Premier league with West Brom.The Mexico international, 21, has arrived on loan at The Hawthorns for the rest of the season as Roberto Di Matteo's only January signing.

And Brunt said: "You cannot just expect Carlos Vela to come in and keep us in the Premier League - that's down to every single one of us.

"We've seen from his time at Arsenal that he's a good finisher.

"But it's important not to put too much expectation on him."

Owen Coyle has said that he is still interested in signing Carlos Vela from Arsenal in the January transfer window. Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is open to the idea of sending the 21-year-old out on loan, with there no guarantee he will get regular games at the Emirates.

Coyle, who took Jack Wilshere from the Gunners last term, is hoping that situation will play into his hands and he will soon have added competition for places up front.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that many clubs are interested in signing Carlos Vela in January. The Gunners boss, who revealed last week that the 21-year-old would be allowed to make a temporary move in January, has since had a number of clubs showing interest including "three of four” English clubs.

Wenger believes that playing time is essential for Carlos Vela’s progress, but only if he remains in the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger has revealed that he has faith in Arsenal's youngsters like Carlos Vela. Speaking on Thursday, the Frenchman explained how Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri, Tomas Rosicky, Andrey Arshavin, Carlos Vela and Emmanuel Eboue are enough for the wings and how therefore there is no space for the Englishman in his squad.

Carlos Vela has denied rumours that he is going to leave Arsenal. Carlos Vela’s agent Eduardo Hernández denied that his client wants to leave Arsenal but confessed the Mexican wants more minutes just like any other player.
