Henri Lansbury... celebrates scoring a goal for Watford
Lansbury - I'd be happy to extend loan spell
By Chris Harris
Henri Lansbury would consider staying with Watford until the end of the season.
The highly-rated midfielder is enjoying a successful loan spell at Vicarage Road, scoring twice in his 14 appearances so far and settling quickly into the hustle and bustle of Championship football.
Lansbury was a regular in the Carling Cup last term and had the opportunity to play for Arsenal in this season's competition too. But the 19-year-old England youth international opted for a temporary switch to Watford in search of valuable first-team experience.
He admits a minor tinge of jealousy as Arsène Wenger's team prepare for a glamorous Quarter-Final at Manchester City in December. But Lansbury is making solid progress of his own and has not ruled out the prospect of extending his Watford spell beyond the New Year.
"I'm not sure how long I will be there," he told Arsenal.com. "The clubs are still speaking so I need to speak to the boss about that. But I just want to go out and play really so I would be happy to stay at Watford for longer.
"There is a bit of an ache there because I'd like to be part of the Carling Cup run but I just want to play football. I just wanted to get some more games under my belt and more experience. That's what I am doing at Watford and hopefully it will continue.
"I think what a player gets at Arsenal is just fantastic, but you've got to go out and see what it's like at different clubs. You have to take that on board and learn from it."
