One of the features of the last few years has been Arsenal putting a brilliant run of results together and although it may be too late for a title challenge this time, we still need to secure a top four spot, as well as having the knockout rounds of the Champions League to think about — and the small matter of defending the FA cup trophy won in dramatic fashion last season to defend.

Well it is for clubs that are happy to spend crazy money like that on a player, but Arsenal are certainly not one of those clubs, even though Arsene Wenger has broken the transfer record a few times in recent years and did so again this summer by spending over # 50 million to get Lacazette from Lyon.

This season Ramsey really has struck top form, scoring 9 goals in only 22 starts and their is no doubt that there will be many big clubs willing to offer him massive wages if he refuses to extend with Arsenal, and the Gunners could also cash in on any sale if the Welshman is put on the market, but time is running out for Arsenal to tie him down for the next few years.

I hate watching Arsenal get bitch slapped by a mid table team and all the hyperbolic doom and gloom rhetoric from the plastic Gunner fans out there but sadly losses like these will not be the exception to the Wenger rule this year and if monunental changes to the team set up as well as heavy investment arent made in the next few weeks IMHO Arsenal will be out of Europe for the first time in nearly 20 years.

You know for a long time I used to hear arsenal had the worst fans, its only in the last few years ive actually begun to see it and I have to say I fully agree now.

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

I have disliked your generally fair comments, purely because if Arsenal are to sign Wilshere down to a new contract, it must be now (or certainly before Christmas at very latest) I do take your point about provingconsistent perfs BUT his ability is not in question after his many years here and frankly, he has now not the time to prove long term consistency until he is a first choice regular — as I think he must soon be — and we need to tie him down to a contract now (or within a few weeks) or let him go.

It would be cool to see Vlad, Bielik, Hayden, Zelalem, Crowley etc, in a few years time as Arsenal stars.

Few months back I considered myself a rabid AOB sort of a Piers Morgan type, after some time I came to terms with myself that nothing was going to change, it did not matter my tirades or how many comments would post, things at ARSENAL would not change, our destiny is intertwine with AW till the day he decides is enough for him or his Contract is over, for sure not before that, SO there is no point anymore in pointing AW deficiencies nor trashing the Man, he reached the top of his abilities and is consistent with that, making the top 4 reaching the last 16 at the CL and as a BONUS last year maybe this one the FA Cup, reality is he will not reach anything more and we just have to settle and accept (as he has done) our STATUS QUO a good team but not good enough........

The runs involved are different, the overall responsibilities are different, he will now get the ball in different positions than he is used to, and even different sorts of passes than he is used to, this will take time and patience for him to adapt.

Bring in Ospina for Cech; Gabriel for Koscielny (Kos is 31 and its time we start testing Gabriel and Holding beside Mustafi to see what our long term first choice defensive partnership will look like); Gibbs for Monreal (Wenger needs to start rotating these 2 more frequently as we need to ascertain if Gibbs can adequately produce the quality to hold that position from next season for a few years as I'm thinking this might be Nacho's last or penultimate season with Arsenal, it will also give a hint as to the type of Left - back to target in the summer — first teamer or backup and age as well); I'll like to see an Elneny — Xhaka partnership in this fixture as we might just never know, this might be our replica of the Kos Mustafa partnership in the centre of the park, Two disciplined (positionally, i mean) central midfielders who can play box to box; Chamberlain for Iwobi, and Perez for Alexis should do the work.

Arsenal now have a mostly healthy squad for the first time in years and are involved in fewer competitions than earlier in the season — thus some players will not get on the pitch.

i don't think now is time to take chances, i hear Man - U will spend 350 million pounds in the next two years Chelsea who is already a full squad and still toying with the idea of buying Messi, City will sell few deadwood and buy big and we are thinking of signing 38 year old striker, i love TH but come on guys we are suppose to be fighting back to greatness and catch up to Europe's elite, Man - U is linked wit every player we the Arsenal supporters are asking for and guess who will buy them.

What I think is that Wenger should stay to fix d missing tiles, it can be done now, first he needs to understand that you need set of players who can stand the test, like sanchz, koscz, mstafi, ozil, bllern, and few more new faces like these soldiers, not the type of players that cant even give u 20 league matches appearance, either injured or not in form, like walcot, ramsy, Gibbs giroud, matzcker, Gabriel, and Montreal who gifted man u a victoryy they never merited, all this players have let Wenger down big time, but he continues to carry on with most of them just for their loyalty to him and glimpse of flashes they have shown in last 8, 9 or more years, Wenger should decide who should board the ship this time not same weaklings who uses arsenal as a brand just to be noticed but no ambitions

If I had to choose who I had more faith in being Arsenal's keeper after Cech steps down in a few years time, assuming that no other keepers came in, I'd have to choose Szczesny.

It would be great if Arsenal could get this done in the next few days as is being claimed because then we could get the Premier League Player of the Year settled into the side in time for the opening EPL match against Liverpool.

He can gladly leave the gunners after 5 — 7 years and sign for Real Madrid when he has become a complete player but in the mean time please come to Arsenal and get the best coaching and tuition in a well known «French» oriented environment with lots of history and exciting hero's like Henry, Petit, Viera, Anelka, Koscielny just to name a few.

While Wenger, s values and philosophy on football and the way it should be played are admirable the fans who love the Club first and foremost have become increasing frustrated by hearing him play the same record time and again.When it was first issued the record was something completely new and interesting but over the years it has become boring and stale and out of date.Very few Arsenal fans hate Arsene Wenger, most like me admire the man and what he has achieved for AFC.However during the past 5/6 years he has failed to address glaring weaknesses in the team.

The last time Arsenal played Southampton, just a few weeks ago, we were destroyed 4 - 0 in our worst result in the whole of last year.

Spurs are yet to win any silverware during Pochettino's tenure, while a turbulent few years for Arsenal has still included them lifting the FA Cup three times in four seasons.

I believe Arsenal had to sell players in the last few years in order to balance the books, but last summer's sales of Fabregas and Nasri were not borne out of necessity anymore: other factors forced Kroenke's hand this time round.

Many of us did not understand the reason for that decision at the time and a few still question why he was allowed to leave especially when Arsenal knew he would have just one year left in his contract when he returns.

Perhaps someone can explain what David Dein meant when he said Arsenal's new stadium will not be fit for purpose in a few years time and why» the cantankerous one» in SW London always says WE when they win but at the moment it's THEY because they are not and it's not his fault it's everyone else's fault but not his.

nice tribute andy and no doubts he has been the player of the year, although i cant understand him being criticised early on because hes been an international from an early age and a regular with cameroon and i distinctly remember him putting in strong performances when on loan at a struggling charlton a few seasons ago... i guess he has become the example of why we shud be patient with the younger players and give them the time that has no doubt benfited him i remember reading an article from him after the city game when adebayour had his little outburst and i cudnt believe how dedicated to the club and fans he was when questioned bout his «friend» adebayour saying arsenal and the fans are his priority and dat is all i cant understand people wanting cameroon to fail just so we can get him back early after the commitment he has shown to us but if he maintains his form we wont see anytime soon!goodluck song and cameroon

But, over the past few months, the German has been as reliable as ever with Arsenal climbing the league table and securing a place in the top three for the first time in many years.
