Blackburn sign two and Arsenal get rid of one

Arsenal youngster Quincy Owusu Abeye has signed for Russian side Spartak Moscow for an undisclosed fee. The Dutch winger has surprisingly been allowed to leave the Gunners after he has been floating around the first team. I have seen Quincy play a couple of times this season and I have to say that I am very surprised by Arsenal's descion to let him go.


Blackburn have have signed on loan winger David Bently on a permanent deal from Arsenal. The young English man joined Blackburn on loan during the summer and Blackburn boss Mark Hughes believes he has done well enough to deserve a permanent deal. This is a good move by Blackburn because Bently is young and he has done well so far at Ewood park.

Blackburn have also signed Liverpool striker Florent Sinama Pongolle on loan until the end of the season. The young French striker has failed to gain a first team place at Anfield and has opted to leave until the end of the season. This decsion has probably been made because of Robbie Fowler arriving at the club.
