I do not have any real idea what it will take for the Arsenal manager to convince our
club captain Mikel Arteta from leaving the
club and joining his fellow countryman Pep Guardiola
at Man City when the
current season comes to an end, but Arsene Wenger knows his player a lot better than I do and I am sure that the prof can think of something.
Man City have Belgium international captain Vincent Kompany doing his bit also, and has had the armband
at his
club since 2011, while
Man United have
current England captain Wayne Rooney in the role, where he is regularly seen playing with his heart on his sleeve.

Old Trafford owners the Glazers could opt to call time on Moyes's tenure as
Man United boss
at the end of the
current campaign, especially if the
club have failed to secure a Champions League berth for the first time in the competition's history.
Premier League new boys Hull City are waiting anxiously to see if front
man Sone Aluko accepts the
club's offer of a new contract to replace the Nigerian's
current deal which runs out
at the end of this season, according to reports in the Daily Mail.
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

Alexis Sanchez nearly left to join

With Arsenal showing a new defensive solidity to add to the great attacking flair and ability to keep the ball and create chances, and perhaps looking for a new
club captain
at the same time, as the
current man with the armband Mikel Arteta is getting old and not playing much, you might think that the
current vice captain Per Mertesacker would be the player to get the nod from Arsene Wenger.
according to wenger keeping the fac winning team would be a recipe for us to compete (or win) the epl — we need only look
at the
current table to see he is wrong — procrastination is killing the
club we love — wenger is yesterdays

The ability of Arsene Wenger to attract the top quality players to Arsenal and to keep the ones we already have
at the
club despite the fact that the Gunners do not or can not match the really crazy transfer fees and wages paid by the likes of Manchester United and
Man City will be a lot stronger if the
current Arsenal squad can keep up the recent run of form and results and bring the Premier League trophy back to north London
at the end of this season.
Tom Cleverley is enjoying the taste of regular first team action
at Aston Villa and
Man United will demand around # 8m for the move to the Midlands outfit to be made permanent though a lot could well depend on the ongoing situation under

club.
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our
club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this
club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor
man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up
man goals need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart
at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved
club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment
at the Emirates if we don't rid the
club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our
current woes
Clyne has been in great form of late, playing a key role in Ronald Koeman's side who are surprisingly pushing manfully for a top four finish, but with just 18 months to run on his
current contract there is no denying that the Southampton
man's position
at the
club is vulnerable.
Ronaldo has started the
current campaign with a bang, netting ten goals in five La Liga fixtures, but it is widely believed this will be his final campaign
at Real Madrid and
Man United are thought of as one of only two
clubs he is likely to sign for, with the other being Sporting Lisbon, a move that may well be one that sees out the attacker's illustrious career.
Current form shows that Arsenal are arguably in the best form of any EPL
club right now while
Man City's recent form (5 losses in last 7 games overall) puts them
at mid-table form
at best.
If you want to talk mediocrity look

club Certainly more then the
current plastic moronic fanbase
at Arsenal I've been a season ticket holder since 1976 and this is the worst fanbase I have seen in that time BeforfNs start saying we pay top money my answer is don't come t the ground we don't need stupid fans better to have half empty stadium full of real fans then morons taking out their real frustrations of failure on the team Just ask spuds fans who seem to back their team even though they have only won 2 trophies in 30 years and only been in the cl 4 times as opposed to the cabinet Full of trophies that Wenger has delivered plus a new stadium and works class stars that have played for us in his tenure.
