We should be in for the likes of Griezmann AND every other world class player that fits our method of playing, Ive said it time and time again our squad is only half world class the rest are mediocre at best (yes I know Ill get thumbed down ect by all the AKB's on site) but the results over the last ten years are proof alone that we are NOT good enough to compete with the other Elite teams.

So how and why is the gap not bridged????? The other important thing to remember is that in the last ten years Wenger has won NOTHING of note so his repuatation amongst the world elite players is less than it was a decade ago and there are few of them that actually WANT to play for the club now our reputation for having no ambition is paramount now rather than our repuatation for winning competitions.

Every signings we had for the last 5 years (not many, I know), none of them has shined... As a matter of fact, most of them are getting or becoming worse players as soon as they hit the Arsenal training ground under the watchful eyes of one of the most overrated manager in world football...!!!

I see lot of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class player.Yes, he is a great player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund in the end of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave to a big team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type of player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a first XI player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will leave.Sterling is an English player, will be great to see him at nationat team too, and we need as mutch as rest of the big teams from EPL home grown players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a top team, and need performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great player.

People are only looking at 50M loss in sales but believe me that there are a lot of intangibles to Sanchez staying for one more and worst case leaving for free (1) We make it to CL and recover the lost revenue (2) CL next year means that even if Sanchez leaves we are still attractive to world class players (3) We don't strengthen our rivals (4) Sanchez can make Lacazette as deadly as we expect.

The puffed - chest notion of entitlement — «It's pretty obvious it's the world's game,» coach Mike Babcock said, «but we still think it's ours, and I'm a bit of a redneck» — chafed American players like 25 - year - old Ryan Kesler, whose day job is playing center for the Canucks.

I think if LACAZETTE can keep this up, he's going to claim a place in the french world cup squad next year, his goal scoring instinct is sharp, he knows he won't get too much chances and makes use of the few ones he gets and he was unluncky not to have scored against chelsea and his header wasn't a fluke, he knew where the post were and he directed the ball, he will be handful for defender when our complete squad starts and luckily for us he's not an injury prone player, having him, Sanchez (if he stays), Giroud and Ozil fit will be vital for us this season and i see plenty of goals..

who would of guest City would make an offer of 60 million in the summer for Sanchez with only a year left on his contract, i'm guessing we could get an offer of around 30 million from City in January so he wont be persuaded by the likes of PSG with a signing on fee in the summer, but who knows what goes in the mind of Alexis or what kind of injuries some big clubs could have from now until January for them to make ridiculous offers to a world class player with no CL conflict of interest, lets say Real Madrid loses Ronaldo, Bale, Karim to long term injury you bet they will come ceiling with baring gifts for Sanchez's services or even Barca with Messi or Suarez

(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small, pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that plays more players out of their natural positions (square peg in a round hole)

If we start this season with those two in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one of these players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number of years... this is what I call the «no man's land» of the soccer world, where teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little more than a stagnant group of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a team who plays players out of position so often... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team of any consequence ever again

I would praise Mr Wenger for finishing in the top 3 or 4 if he brought the world class players that we all know we need in the right positions and made a sincere effort to win something... The reason why a large number of Arsenal fans and critics are on his back is because for many years now Mr Wenger has neglected to strengthen certain key positions that would of given us a much better chance of winning trophies.

let's face it, everyone and his brother has known what our deficiencies have been for several years, so why can't our management team seem to identify our weaknesses and aggressively target the necessary additions... the only plausible answer is we aren't willing to pay even close to market value for the players we clearly need and if we do actually get to the table we seem to make insulting bids that simple infuriate the team in question... for years Wenger has said he couldn't find any world class players to fill our voids, which seems to suggest that he thinks we currently have upwards of 40 world class players on our existing roster... if that is the case he should never be in charge of making personnel decisions... buying late in the window is so problematic, for obvious reasons, and especially since this year was supposed to be different (sarcasm)

Bottom of World football of «Nous» is definitely the England football team, they're clueless, scream at players after they've fouled them, «GET UP» so they get double punishment, shout at referees, «YOU»RE A CHEAT» so they get no favours, they just haven't got a clue, they don't even know the meaning of «Nous», probably the reason we've won nothing for fifty years.

Wenger seems hell bent of discovering a new world class talent but he's not going to, he should concentrate on winning the title with proven players rather than attempting to dine out for the next 20 years on a new Thierry Henry cos as Fergie will tell you, these players only come along once in a lifetime.

The 22 year - old is an exciting player for a full back, and waltzed past players at will during the 2010 World Cup for Portugal, but the fact that Liverpool play a more pressing game these days than under Roy Hodgson means that they are likely to have more of the ball as well as play a higher line.

Arsenal are the fifth richest club in the world, have one of the highest wage bills, Wenger's kept his best players for the last four years, has brought in WC talent, and had a net spend in the summer of almost # 100 million.

First of all I don't believe that Arsenal would've offered such a sum of money for any player not considered world class, let alone 23 year old Belotti, who quite frankly has remained unknown until his current run of form.

So it's that time of the year when we as arsenal fans make stupid predictions, assume that we will sign world class players, believe in Arsene for another year and next year we do it again well let me be clear since you all didn't read this last year.

However for a player who has no guarantee of fitting into Arsenal's style of play, a player who has only really come to form in one season and a player who will only have a few more years left in his professional career, it raises the question if Wenger should really spend # 20 million on Vardy or splash out # 10/15 million more on one of the world's biggest stars.

We should keep ospina for sure He is world class and a good man To be honest I would like players that fit the Arsenal some one fresh and young that would play for Arsenal a minimum of 5 years I am sorry but I find many cementers in here pick unsettled players a 2 season wonders just for kicks

as for the summer i think one world class player in an attacking pos my be striker, i think we could see a big bid for draxler sometime in the next year, (maybe in this window if we get lucky could be a big surprise at the end of the week would make the window awesome) as wenger rates him top top top class talent, and thinks he could make him into the worlds next best striker maybe try and get him for # 30 million instead.

nice to see you crawl out of your hole just in time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid to bring strong personalities and / or world - class players into the fold without being fearful of how said players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry to RVP to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy to see that this club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending to be a world - class soccer club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done to my beloved club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team to pretend to follow

Sometimes CBS gets a weaker core of players for their Saturday broadcast, but they were set up beautifully this year with leader Phil Mickelson, world No. 1 Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Jimmy Walker, Bubba Watson and Justin Rose all making their loop through Pebble, where all the TV cameras and crews are posted up, in the third round.

Mertz should never have been our captain in the first place... who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!

Chelsea is champion but the will buy De Griezman from Atletico de Madrid they have the best defence in the league, the best Midfield in the league with De Griezman, hazard and Costa they will be came invecibles that what Mourinho want to take from Wenger and do not forget that Wenger will never beat Mourinho, we just need 3 world class players just like Henry said, But Wenger have no ambitions to win the league, next year will be the same excuses why we fail again, Mourinho sold Mata even so he was voted the best Chelsea player the previous two years, and Wenger want to keep ineffective players like Walcott, Wiltshere, Diaby, Flamini, Ryo.Sanogo.Welbeck, sad but that is our fate with Wenger only problem for us the risk of loosing player like Alexis will be great if we do not win next year, we must to buy like Henry said, like Carzola is saying, we lost so many good players because they want to win and they are winning with others clubs.why we do not give ouself a chance of winning the EPL?

The question is how many young british players in the bracket of (23 - 28 years old) can rub shoulders with the young and aspiring WORLD BEST for instance the likes of the german and the Spanish players (gotze, ozil, silva, and the ever growing ALVARO MORATA)?.

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

OF course you can't blame him for everything, but everything football related yes he runs that side of the club without interference from anyone, here is a man who blames everything and everyone other than ever looking at himself when the team loses a game, for how many years has the club been crying out for a world - class dm, he refused to buy player's to compliment ozil and Sanchez, yes 100 percent, a better manager would get more from the same playersOF course you can't blame him for everything, but everything football related yes he runs that side of the club without interference from anyone, here is a man who blames everything and everyone other than ever looking at himself when the team loses a game, for how many years has the club been crying out for a world - class dm, he refused to buy player's to compliment ozil and Sanchez, yes 100 percent, a better manager would get more from the same playersof the club without interference from anyone, here is a man who blames everything and everyone other than ever looking at himself when the team loses a game, for how many years has the club been crying out for a world - class dm, he refused to buy player's to compliment ozil and Sanchez, yes 100 percent, a better manager would get more from the same players..

I join you on that almostawinner... but the same can be said of that famous english core that we extended / signed a couple of years back... Ramsey is a great player, can be world class but for that has to stop being so wasteful at times (bad / heavy first touch, killing counter attacks with the wrong choices, not shooting well anymore the way it looks, giving the ball away)... your not on Gerrard level at his best Gibbs is a good player but seems happy with his bit part role, doesn't look like he's crazy about pushing & challenging Montreal for a XI spot Ox, I still believe in his talent but just no end product for an offensive player with his ability; he could be our version of PFA Hazard / Costa... is it a lack of confidence?

Kos achilles ramsey hamstring Sanchez is gone and people do get sick and ozil probably needed a day off and why when your the top player maybe you get a little more lee way than the 20 year old tryi ng to make the team ozils mistake was his post arsene is smart and you would rid us of our legend manager and our top international world class players keep wenger in his time will come im sure if you were a player you would love playing for him but we all have our opinions and mine is no more right than anyone else ’s

1) It is a world cup year so players usually put out their best performances 2) If the said players want a big contract somewhere else should they not want to re-sign they will have to put in very convincing performances for suitors or get even better terms should they re-sign 3) We came 5th last year and i'm pretty sure it gave every member of the team a kick up the rear.

There's so much wrong with Arsenal if we were given chances to write about them it would take a year.What kind of mentality is this.Forgive me for the way I come out but what has to be said has to be said and the truth hurts.I do nt know if you guys are happy with what's going on but am not.We live in a world where those who speak the truth are hated very much and a world full of incomprehensible things.Its just sad.Things have to change from this year especially the mentality of this club.I just wan na see my club succeed and its bothering me a lot we just can not seem to do what is right.It's time average players are taken out of the club and what I mean by that is players who do nt want to improve.You already them lot.
