Verdict: Not good enough anymore for
Arsenal as a first team player and should be necessarily sold in order to bring in a solid DM.
Not exact matches
There have been a few debates regarding which young
players who could make the move from the
Arsenal under 21's to the
first team for next season, and whilst the likes of Jon Toral may have been mentioned
as a likely candidate, Iwobi will most certainly be well in Wenger's view for next season.
With
Arsenal facing our third match in a week and desperately needing all three points from today's away match at Hull City, Arsene Wenger would have wanted
as many
first team players available
as possible, so it will have been a big blow to his plans to lose Olivier Giroud.
and I've watched both
players, so either one of them would be welcome at
Arsenal...
as for bramall, i think he needs time to learn the philosophy of the club (
Arsenal) before rushing him into d
first team.
I honestly don't expect him to make it
as an
Arsenal first team player.
After a gruelling run of Premier League games, Arsene Wenger can at last give some
Arsenal first team players a much - needed rest
as we travel to the City ground to take on Nottingham Forest in the Third Round of the FA Cup.
Haven already signed Cohen Bramall for the
Arsenal's Under 23 squad, Well, Le Prof has made it categorically clear yesterday in his press conference that he will be quiet during this winter transfer window not to do any more signing
as his
first team squad is not short of a
player in any position in the
team.
I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French
players in his
team than any other
players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the
first team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A
player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this season to label him
as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see
Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.
Come the other year when
Arsenal went the whole season without a defeat in the Premier League, Barcelona were attracted by Marc Overmas and Emmanue Petti, the two joined Barcelona, they played few games, and sometime on the bench,
as a result Emmanue Petti decided to go back to England and joined New - Castle and always regret leaving
Arsenal, then the other year it was Alexander Hleb, he was the best dribller in
Arsenal team, he went again to Barcelona, he was never given some games, I think he only played few games
as a sub, and his carrier was destroyed by Barcelona, then come Henry, he again went to Barcelona, he played some games but not like he used to do at
Arsenal, he was not looking like a star
player anymore, he decided to go to America, then there was Fabrigas, he joined Barcelona again, since he was one of their juniors, I think he played for two seasons, and supporter used to booing him, he decided to come back to
Arsenal, by then
Arsenal had already resplaced him with Ozil, and he joined Chelsea, then come Alexander Song, he pushed to go to Barcelona, he was always on the banch, and never been on
first eleven, then he ended up regreting joing Barcelona, and wanted to go back to
Arsenal, but normally Wenger do not take
players who pushed themselves to be out of
Arsenal, lastly there was Vermuleen, he went to Barcelona and ended up not playing at all but when playing for
Arsenal they used to be star
players.
Haven already signed Cohen Bramall fir the
Arsenal's Under 23 squad, Well, Le Prof has made it categorically clear yesterday in his press conference that he will be quiet during this winter transfer window not to do any more signing
as his
first team squad is not short of a
player in any position in the
team.
Now
as well
as being important in getting the
Arsenal first team players ready for action, this period could be crucial for some members of the squad who are on the fringe and who the manager may be thinking about letting go, but which of the
Arsenal players are most in need of a strong showing in pre-season to secure their futures with
Arsenal?
This game is a glaring example
as to why
Arsenal has to strengthen the squad; who on show in this game is threatening the position of any
player in the so called
first team?
Mediocre
players like Ramsey share the same ambition
as the Club and obviously were over the moon when wenger got a new deal cos that's the only way they can be anywhere near
Arsenals first team.
Can we pls drop this
players as managers nonsense, i have nothing against TH becoming a
Arsenal manager but pls pls let him have at least ten minutes of managing a
team first before letting him have the 6th richest club in the world, its like you give your 17 year old kid with no driving experience or license the keys to the Ferrari because he has sit next to you when your driving MAKES NO SEANCE
Do you think if Ozil is guaranteed
first team place he would leave Real Madrid?No they both would not.What I am saying is, both
players were not considered
as first team starters at their previous clubs and their clubs wanted to sale them.Thats why
Arsenal got them.The same is true for Chec, what I am saying is it easy to get
players that the club has agreed to sell than a
player who is guaranteed a
first team spot.
Arsenal fans know and understand the policy of Arsene Wenger in resting
first team players in the Capital One Cup games, and even in the FA cup and Champions League games when we can, to give those key men a rest
as well
as giving some valuable opportunities to the up and coming Gunners from the academy and the likes of Debuchy and Gibbs who have not seen much action so far this season.
Up front we have a few world - class
players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished
player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved,
as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills
as a front man, will only be
as good
as the
players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these
players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average
first - touch
players, which should be the baseline test for any
player coming to a Wenger - led
Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a
team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level,
as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the
team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
Arsenal fans were clearly expecting the manager to do a lot more in order to give us the best possible chance of reclaiming the Premier League title, but Wenger is sticking to his story about the lack of
players available that would actually make the squad or the
first team better,
as reported by The Mirror.
Some fans are mentioning Chambers
as a potential DM in important fixtures... The boy just arrived at
Arsenal and he is already a big part of the squad (3 possible positions)... Just to say that a 19yo is a major piece of our
team, it says a lot about the ambition and the status of the club (and this is a talented
player who was not a
first team regular at Southampton, but that is not a problem... If he is good he is good).
I don't really blame any of those
players at all,
first mistake from Wenger was his
team selection and secondly wrong
players in a wrong position,, its quite sad with all their mouths and boasting of starting the season strongly and aiming for the league just a waste of energy and wishful thinking, am putting the whole blame on Wenger, where is Belerin, why Ozil, Cazorla played out of positions, you should know their weaknesses and strength
as a coach, why must we pass and pass to score a goal, many opportunities came from shooting distance but the
players will always be looking for the next person to pass the ball to, its quite unfortunate that a big club like
arsenal is relying on a scrappy Giroud to lead an attack of a
team aiming to win the league.
In doing this, Wilshere became the
first England
player to win the man of the match award 4 times in a row,
as fans and pundits called for Wenger to incorporate Wilshere into the
Arsenal team through this deep - lying playmaker role.
Those three extra injuries made it 10
first team players in the
Arsenal treatment room,
as you can see Just
Arsenal's dedicated injury page, and suggested that the same old problems are coming back with a bang but
as early
as last evening the news was getting better.
Arsenal is not a serious
team at all
as we hold on to too many average
players and treat them like the best that's ever happened to us.Wenger clearly doesn't have the grit to make certain decisions regarding
players.I just hope Lacazette is given the centre stage like Welbeck and Giroud who have failed greatly.I really feel for Giroud because he's criticized heavily yet people forget it's the coach who bought him and decided to use him this way in the
first place despite him never being good enough.
the season is over i don't feel that
arsenal need any more frustrations along the way,
as it stands injuries and fitness are things
players and manager must look after.The mesut ozil injury was lack of proper communication and Wenger saw Ramsey wanting to be subbed but still did not care to look at him,
arsenal have been bad lucked this term and this match after losing to
team conceded from offside position from the
first goal.
The odd exception of Iwobi, Gibbs or Wilshere may come all the way through the ranks at
Arsenal before becoming a valuable member of the
first team, but more often than not its the Bellerin's, Szczesny's and the Fabregas» that are taken from other clubs at a young age and then put through
as our very own
players.
Arsenal have been linked with further signings of attacking
players themselves in recent times, though it may be that Podolski will be allowed to make way
as Arsene Wenger seeks to promote promising youngsters Yaya Sanogo and Joel Campbell into his
first -
team plans on a more regular basis this season.
We have in our possession one of the most over rated (especially over rated
as he might the worse
player in the squad
first team and youth included... A total liability) and overpaid football
player in the history of
Arsenal football club: Theo Walcott.
Recent reports suggest there could be big change to personnel at
Arsenal this summer, with
as many
as three
first -
team players heading for the Emirates Stadium exit.
It may seem a little bit odd to say this after Rob Holding was an unused substitute for most of his debut season
as an
Arsenal player, especially after this summer of international competition when his club and country colleague Calum Chambers was selected ahead of him for the England under 21
team every time, but I believe that the young defender is going to be a regular
first team starter for us next season.
The claim that what we saw was us not turning up is
as pathetic and utterly unacceptable an excuse to use because we've been down this road before, WEEKS were spent hyping
Arsenal up,
players, fans and coaching staff alike spent weeks in advance talking about our real chances winning the league, our
players back from injury and on the
first game of the season, where we had renewed optimism and were swelling with expectation we cracked under the pressure to a
team you expect to finish no higher than 8th.
Arsenal's 19 year - old Alex Iwobi is looking certain to become a regular
Arsenal first team player next season,
as Arsene Wenger has been slowly integrating him into the squad.
Cup games
Arsenal and Arsene have always given
as an opportunity for fringe
players and youth to put pressure on the
first -
team and show why they deserve a run.
It was certainly good for Francis in the end at the ripe old age of 23,
as he is now an integral part of the
Arsenal team, but which of our twelve
players currently out on loan do you think is most likely to come back
as a
first team player?
Arsenal currently have Xhaka, Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere, Coquelin and Elneny
as regular
first team central midfielders, meaning that's six
players competing for just two positions on the pitch.
Rubbish, I know Wenger very well, he knows Europa is one of the trophies that Can take him to UCL next season, I knew very well he is waiting for The last group stage Match of UCL for him to know the third place
teams that will join Europa now he Have seen it I know very well he Will play our
first team players now on, look at Manchester United last season They just focus only on eroupa and they made it, so
As for Wenger with His way of decisions I think he will start playing our
first team playerS if he really want to have power over
arsenal Baord Next season because they have lost a huge amount of money this Season because of no champions league place, I think if he fails next season he will see the door off from his inheritance sit.
As reported by Metro his
Arsenal team mate Mesut Ozil was one of the
first to offer his support and congratulations to the Chilean and while the German and the other
Arsenal players at Euro 2016 could still be on international duty for some time, at least Sanchez can now rest and recover ahead of the new season.
Last season, Bellerin had a breakout campaign with
Arsenal, recording his
first goals
as a senior
player and helped the
team to a 4 - 0 win over Aston Villa in the 2015 FA Cup Final.
Granite Xhaka saved us last night, i'm not a great fan of Xhaka but i thought the game changed
as soon
as he come on, on Wilshere i have been his biggest supporter but last night he let me down badly, he made no space for himself he was just out for the fresh air, i thought Sead had a lousy game to even do he scored, it was a sad night for
Arsenal supporters and football to watch that, there were plenty of alarms raised when we played Ostersunds FK in the
first leg in the second half, AW should of known better to prepare his
team and should get off his ass and shout a bit from the side line like all passionate managers do when they send a message to their
players
For Wilshere he gets to improve on his fitness, whilst hopefully having a regular spot in the
first team — and for
Arsenal, the Gunners get to keep track of the midfielders progress without the burden on the
team, in hope that he responds well to his move away and comes back
as the
player he once was.
Alexis Sanchez is enjoying a dream
first season
as an
Arsenal player, exhibiting his entire repertoire of scoring goals, making goals and working indefatigably for the welfare of his
team.
Chambers - Paid a lot of money for a young
player with little experience in regards
First Team and Premiership games.He looked a good prospect and because of injuries to the squad he found himself playing very soon into his
Arsenal career.This caught up with him a bit
as did playing with different CB partners and filling in at full back.Form dipped and was out of the side till a year long loan move to Boro.He was playing every week and despite them going down he was one of their best and consistent players.He has been indifferent since coming back but has looked better in last few games he has played.I believe there is a very decent centre back in this
player and would not describe him
as a bad buy at all.
Arsenal have eleven
players currently out on loan, and
as fans we would love them all to be lighting up the lower divisions with brilliant football and proving themselves good enough to fight for a place in the Gunners
first team next season, but alas the truth is that there are very few impressing at all.
The main problem
as usual was our centre backs who are bang average at best.Elneny, Iwobi and Welbeck all played well
as did Xhaka in the
first half.There are a number of
teams in the EPL who are worse than Southhamton and I hope they stay up.Their wing backs and goalkeeper are very decent and would be good additions to our squad.I, m afraid Wilsh ere is not the
player he promised to be and is not a future captain of
Arsenal.
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top
player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant
teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National
team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with
Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary
players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass
first type of
player;
as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management
team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
Looking at the
Arsenal website of
players that are listed
as «
first team» I think that the
players that are most likely to be shown the door for the coming campaign are:
It was never likely for
Arsenal to use our young French international striker Yaya Sanogo
as a
first team player this season.
First of all I would like to say that I think
Arsenal will come away from Vicarage Road next weekend with all three points, especially
as the
team should look a lot more like the
Arsenal we are used to, with Olivier Giroud leading the attack and Mesut Ozil doing what he does best in the number 10 position, but there will be a lot more pressure on the
players to beat Watford than is ideal.
I like Wilshire, he is
as Arsenal as you can get, he is also in the last year of his contract and has to impress Wenger to earn a new contract, other wise its another
player we lose on a free, i believe Wenger would of sold him if he could of so loaning a guy out with a year left on his contract would of been stupid, I hope he does get a chance to impress and can recapture his form when he
first broke into the
team and stay injury free, the season is long and there's plenty of games to give him
love your articles galen this just proves the sheer stupidity and arrogance of our manager what are
players like ozil and giroud still doing at
arsenal after their
first season ozil should probably be sold back to shalke in a soft league and who knows he might play his best football and it might help in his national
team form cazorla is a good
player but not world class he can not be classified on the same level against
players like silva iniesta and the old
arsenal fabregas sanchez is also good but he needs to add more to his game for him to be put on the same level with world beaters like suarez neymar and bale koscienly is also good but he has too many injury troubles coquelin is a class
player but he is not world class he is good technically but not a dominant midfielder like schneiderlin and fernandinho
as for cech he is there among the best keepers and he is the only positive in this
arsenal team.Needs to work on his distribution though the back four is solid but has alot of light weights strong and powerful foward might find it easy
Good news on both
players if it's true, both are important to the club
as it stands but who knows what will happen over the next five years, a new manager might come in and sell them both and get better replacements or the bank of England might decide to buy the club so who might still be playing in the
first team is a bit of a silly question, even more so with
Arsenal's injury record.
