Misfit Arnau could be heading for exit door
11:23am Tuesday 8th July 2008
SUNDERLAND misfit Arnau could be heading for Blackpool after failing to persuade manager Roy Keane he has a part to play on Wearside.
The 26-year-old is training with the Coca-Cola Championship club with a view to completing a loan move.
Former Barcelona B midfielder Arnau has not made a senior appearance under Keane in two years at the Stadium of Light.
He arrived two summers ago after Niall Quinn brought him in during his short spell as manager.
The Spaniard, who is now in the final year of his Black Cats contract, made two senior appearances for the club - he was sent off two minutes into his first start in a 2-0 Carling Cup defeat at Bury - and was later sent out on loan by Keane.
He spent part of the 2006-07 season at Southend, and played 22 times for Falkirk during the last campaign.
Should he secure his move to Bloomfield Road, Arnau would become the latest player to leave Sunderland as Keane continues his clear-out.
Greg Halford last week joined Sheffield United, while Stephen Wright is training with Coventry.
