Arsenal Players that wouldnt cut the grade for a top premier side: Monreal Merts Flamini Arteta
Diaby Coquelin Rosicky Campbell Poldi
For the main striker role I would have a choice welbeck giroud and sanogo the 6 wide players would be Walcott chamberlain gnabry sanchez podolski campbell and the 9 central players fighting for 3 slots would be ozil cazorla rosicky wilshire ramsey
diaby coquelin flamini and arteta.
I would like to us shed 4 of those midfielders zelalem (loan)
diaby coquelin and ryo being the favourites.
List of 8 players to offload before even considering selling ozil (in no particular order) Flamini arteta
Diaby Coquelin Cazorla (while we can still get 15 - 20m) Podolski (while we can still get 10 - 15m) Sanogo Rosicky
My team would be Ospina Bellerin Ajayi Hayden Gibbs
Diaby Coquelin Rosicky Campbell Akpom Podolski
Just look at arsenal, welbeck.and ospina have yet to start their arsenal careers, podolski Walcott rosicky campbell gibbs
diaby coquelin bellerin arteta martinez hayden akpom bellerin have hardly kicked a ball between them, whilst many others have only played 2 matches.
Not exact matches
He probably thinks we have
Coquelin, Flamini, Arteta,
Diaby, Wilshere, Ramsey, Bielik, Cazorla, rosicky and Chambers.
If all were fit players that would be two too many, I think a decent rival to
coquelin should be bought.may be 2 with the 3 elders making way arteta
diaby and flamini and bielik concentrating on u21 football.
Ospina Bellerin chambers hayden ormonde - ottewill
Coquelin Chamberlain
diaby rosicky podolski Campbell
Wenger said he needs a petit or Vieira type, well in
coquelin and
diaby we have 2 players of very similar ilk to those two.
Diaby,
Coquelin, Arteta, Flamini and even Wilshire are all vying for that spot next to Ramsey.
Time for Podolski + Wallcott + Sanogo +
Diaby +
Coquelin + Zelalem to start, Campbell more than nine seconds.
Sanogo has to make way so that giroud can come into the Champions league squad, if we need a Cb and dm 2 more have to go with zelalem,
diaby and
coquelin being amongst the favourites.
Back line: Debuchy, Chambers, Mert, Kos, Monreal, Gibbs, Bellerin, Hayden Back mid: Arteta, Flamini, Chambers,
Diaby,
Coquelin What the fu ck do you want more?
Also, please keep podolski, if we are going to sell any of the first team squad it should be ryo,
diaby,
coquelin, miquel at the front of the queue
But the Boss can still go ahead to recruit a top quality enforcer to be starting regularly alongside
Coquelin with Arteta and
Diaby as the top options.
Next summer with the departures of Flamini /
diaby we need a back up DM to
Coquelin that's for sure.
Right now we have three regular France internationals in Koscielny, Giroud and Debuchy, while Flamini, Sanogo,
Coquelin and
Diaby would make Benzema feel at home.
To rely on Arteta, Flamini,
diaby, Bielik would be dangerous if
Coquelin is injured
So many players have played so few matches, ospina, debuchy, gibbs, monreal, bellerin,
coquelin, arteta, rosicky, wilshire, Ramsey, ozil, campbell, Walcott, giroud,
diaby, gnabry.
We already have
Coquelin,
diaby, chambers, Bielik.
Ospina bellerin chambers hayden
coquelin flamini
diaby chamberlain rocisky podolski campbell....
Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini shared those deep lying duties last season and this time we have the added options of Calum Chambers, Francis
Coquelin and Abou
Diaby.
To be honest in the summer I said sell Walcott Wilshere Ox Podolski Ozil
Diaby Flamini Ryo Sanogo Rosicky Jenkinson Vermaelen and
Coquelin and don't buy Debuchi Chambers or Wellbeck prefering to retain Sagna.
Campbell Gnabry Podolski Sanogo
Coquelin and Rosicky are hardly used while Ospina Gibbs
Diaby Arteta Walcott Giroud Ryo and Gnabry are injured.
Arteta, Flamini, Wilshere,
Diaby,
Coquelin, Cazorla for three positions still, and even Ox can play there if need be.
Those obviously went to
diaby, campbell,
coquelin, bellerin who all put in good performances as well.
Income from the sale of un - unsed / deadwoods: Mertesacker # 6m Flamini # 2m
Diaby Free Arteta # 2m
Coquelin # 2m Rosicky # 2m Cazorla # 10m Campbell # 8m Podolski # 8m
It has to be one or the other with OX and at this point i would use either
diaby or
coquelin instead of arteta or flamini.
This would give us more balance to the squad and if we released
diaby, sold flamini and
coquelin we would open 5 spaces in the squad for new signings 2 defenders, 2 midfielders and another attacker.
(Arteta back, Flamini,
Coquelin, and then there is
Diaby just for DM position and then there is Ozil, Ramsey, Cazorla, Wilshere, Rosicky all capable of playing the other two midfield positions.)
So according to reports we are linked with Schneiderlin, Gundagon, Bielik, Brozovic and Khedira in CM with Arteta, Flamini,
Coquelin,
Diaby -LRB-!)
Facts you people need to put into your head; Ramsey is not worldclass, Walcott is not Thierry Henry, Giroud is not the striker to lead us,
Coquelin must not be our only Dm, Wilsher needs caring to save him from being an another
Diaby, Mertesacker is old and needs to be replaced, we need a new left back, we need a keeper, we need to ship out Poldi and some others.
Rosicky, Arteta, Podolski, Flamini,
Diaby,
Coquelin are all for different reasons like age, quality, injury etc. surplus to requirements.
If we had sold / released Ryo
Coquelin Diaby who are useless or injured we could have got 3 players in on loan.
The current squad will looks like Szczesney ospina martinez Jenkinson debuchy Gabriel Mertesacker koscielny gibbs monreal Arteta flamini
Coquelin ramsey wilshire
diaby rosicky cazorla ozil chamberlain Walcott welbeck sanchez Campbell giroud podolski ryo wellington sanogo
I would love to see a big dm option come in, but again with all our midfield options due back by the time we face spurs (in 5 matches time) I can see wenger running with 2 of cazorla rosicky chamberlain ozil ramsey wilshire arteta zelalem
diaby and niles, playing either side of
coquelin flamini chambers or hayden, again 14 options for 3 positions will be considered enough by wenger.
I am not sure if ryo will get a place, but he will be vying with any new signing plus sanogo
coquelin miquel zelalem and
diaby for the last 5 slots.
Next summer Arteta Flamini Rosicky
Diaby Ryo
Coquelin Podolski will go I believe.
We need a blend of those guys along with the industry of some players like Ramsey, giroud,
coquelin, sanogo, flamini,
diaby.
Flamini,
Diaby and even
Coquelin can adequately cover.
Or
diaby,
coquelin, miquel, zelalem, sanogo Or from the epl squad podolski?
Does he still think
Coquelin is going to step up or something or has Abou
Diaby's extensive Fitness plans been a success?
If we need a more defensive midfield he can bring in the likes of arteta flamini
Coquelin chambers and
diaby.
DM:
Coquelin, Flamini, Arteta, Bielik, Chambers,
Diaby b2b: Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Rosicky, Arteta, Oxlade CAM: Ozil, Cazorla, Rosicky, Wilshere, Alexis
We can let go of:
Diaby Flamini
Coquelin Campbell Wellington Silva Podolski (not taking him back from loan) Jenkinson — sell him to West Ham Akpom or Afobe Goal Keeper --(if we buy a new one)
Coquelin big NO,
Diaby big NO, Arteta is not a DMP, Flamini is good, but not excellent, he should come in as a sub when were are leading.
But when a more defensive approach is required wenger will call on arteta flamini
Coquelin diaby or chambers.
Honestly, if
coquelin and
diaby prove their fitness along with chambers those 3 could easily over take arteta and flamini as our holding midfield choices.
