Gooners left back turns down loan move

With Ben Thatcher out for the forseeable future, Cory Gibbs in his usual position on the treatment table and senior pro Sir Chris Powell being asked to play more matches than is reasonable, the Addicks badly need left back cover, but a young Gooner has turned down a move that Arsene Wenger was prepared to permit:
Traore

Talking of Gooners, did anyone hear one of their supporters giving it large on Radio 5 yesterday morning about the great history of the club. How they started off as Dial Square, then became Royal Arsenal and finally Woolwich Arsenal.

Nothing was said about how, after being Woolwich rejects, the Holloway club managed to get back into the top flight after the First World War despite being relegated before the war and then failing to finish in a promotion place in the then 2nd division. Glorious history?
