again, is how many times can one person try the same failed strategy before making some sort of fundamental changes... just think to yourself about our recent January dealings, especially

Id be cool with it... The mystery lies

again... his

year then is a force
in our d and not someone else ’s
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
Arsenal's Midfield is a complete mess at the moment.The Ox has presumably had enough; Coquelin frankly isn't good enough although is currently the only combative midfielder that the Club has
in its ranks; Elneny is nothing more than a «squad player»; Wilshire has regressed over the course of 3 injury ravaged
years and Cazorla is unlikely to play at the same level

The first 14 players may have been great, but we lacked depth and it's why
in the
following years after we lost a few key players we could not ever get going
again.
Football like life is uncertain... What is certain however is that
following the same failed strategy
year after
year and expecting a different result is a sign of ineptitude if not madness... Our best 11 ain't up to it largely because it doesn't threaten and unthreatened teams also mean there is more pressure on our defence as well... So a bit of tinkering
in the middle of park ain't going to deliver titles that is for sure... Draxler plus a mobile striker is needed... So unless the idiote grenouille is willing to shelve out 80m can kiss titles goodbye now... He can recover 30 - 40m with obvious sales of mediocre attacking options so not too onerous but at this rate it's déjà vu all over
again
The
following year he was back with the team and once
again impressed
in soaking conditions, this time at Estoril, as he went from 21st to third, eventually finishing sixth.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the
years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense
in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes
in the same clinical fashion we did
years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess
in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself
in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required
in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last
year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling
in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple
years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points
in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis
in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself
in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him
in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive
in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players
in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence
in Real or the space and protection he receives
in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived
in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components...
in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them
in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion
in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin
in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation...
in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some
years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often
in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and
in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once
again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place
in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because
following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
While we buy World Class Players
in a 4
year span the rest of the team is aging and the end result is that we need to start all over
again, we need to do a Heavy Investment ONCE build a winning team and for the
following years slowly but surely discard those players such as Arteta, Per, Flaminy that already passed their prime, if ARSENAL can't do it then who can.....
I feel everyone now wants Ox to stay because WE all think he has arrived... I thought about it and I observed that's the norm with most of our British / English players... when they have one
year left they play well as soon as they sign a new contract, inconsistencies will set
in, injuries will
follow, up until when they have one
year left
again, we all remember Walcott, now its Ox and Ramsey, they both played well towards the end of the season....
I have no doubt that we will struggle (but then
again, maybe not)
in the
following years in getting top players but if Leipzig taught us a lesson is that when you know how to put a team together and when pay your players decent but not obscene salaries (that was verified also on Leicester) and when you have a manager understanding the modern game then you can dream about anything.

Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is
in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis...
in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but
in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for
years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest
in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie
in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base...
in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player
in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)...
in order for us to become dominant
again we need to be strong up the middle
again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did
in our most glorious
years before and during Wenger's reign... with this
in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players
in the final third... he was never a good defensive player
in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely
in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a
year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)...
in their places we need to bring
in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many
years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once
again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model
in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically
in the last 15
years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking
in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several
years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to
follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
The race was three hours
again the
following year, before being upped to 2000 km
in 1964 and 1965; only
in 1966 did it finally become a 24 - hour event.
The 27
year - old displaced the Wojciech back
in January 2015, and was highly impressive, and was unlucky to have a goalkeeper signed ahead of him
in the
following window, and now finds himself stuck on the bench once
again.
The 26 -
year old right - hander who underwent Tommy John surgery
in the spring of 2015, forcing him to miss the Mets run to last
year's World Series, has been shut down
again following a truncated minor league start earlier this month.
However, the 35 -
year - old demonstrated his importance once
again with a late equalising goal
in Chelsea's 3 - 3 draw with Everton on Satuday, and he will surely be a hard act to
follow at Stamford Bridge when he does finally hang up his boots.
Mansell returned
in 1991 and the
following year Williams dominated
again with the FW14B, which pioneered technology such as active suspension.
Following the 2015 season, he would be promoted to recruiting coordinator, and he was a natural choice by Alleva to
again serve as the interim head coach when Miles was dismissed
in September of this
year.
Two
years later Keke Rosberg
followed in Jones's footsteps,
again with Cosworth power.
Again leading the line
in the absence of injured top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the 19 -
year - old
followed up his extra-time quarter - final strike against Anderlecht with a fine second - half free - kick
in Vigo.
Striker Jermaine Beckford became the first Leeds striker for over 30
years to score 30 goals
in a season, and the campaign eventually ended with Play - Off heartache yet
again after Millwall progressed 2 - 1 on aggregate
in the semi-final,
following a 1 - 1 draw at Elland Road.
Tottenham finished third
in 2015/16 and second the
following season but can they go one better
again and claim their first top - flight title
in 57
years?
