Every action has risks including inaction, we know that our strike force at the moment is not up to EPL winning quality, inaction means, we are ok with that, we are also ok to take a chance of injuries, just like Welbeck went down Giroud could too, in any case all I am trying to say is that not buying is just as risky and can be even more so than buying.

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

I do not understand why we do not give the young lad more of a chance with injuries to CFs, he may flop like Akpom but he has been impressive so far and he has found the back of the net...

WIth the the amount of time he's been out and the severity of his injury, also taking in to account his age, he may never return to be the little midfield wizard we love, his style of play comes from his ability to be able to turn on a six pence and weath in and out of people like they are ghosts, to go from being told he will never be able to kick a ball again to doing all that would be amazing but what are the chances.

-- Bellerín came to the stage only because of injuries, it wasn't Wenger who decided to give him a chance but he gets the credit like he planned it all.

It is hard for us to gauge just how much the injury situation is affecting the Gunners at the minute, but you would have to assume that having the likes of Koscielny and Cazorla fully fit, and also having the likes of Walcott, Ramsey and Bellerin available for selection would give us a much better chance of beating the spuds.

Yes our EPL + ECL chances are very small so in March the top 4 chase becomes... like a trophy Then we say» injuries cost us blah blah» but «with a couple of decent signings» 10 years and counting But at least Wenger did not say «judge me at the end of 3 years» Well not yet anyway, but it's coming

holding like many other players will have the chance to play many games, we all know it, s a long season so between players, s injuries, fatigue, loss of form, league games, cup games, cl games, we need a fully fit squad, by the way our bench didn, t look too shabby yesterday!!

Like Wilshere injury is their greatest quality because rarely do we have a chance to see how useless they really are.

i don't think Arsenal deserve or even can catch Chelsea and it is partly due to the fact that arsenal lost against Southampton, Swansea, Man Utd, Spurs and draws with Hull, Liverpool have made the gunners really shaky and partly due to the combination or missed chances and below average players like the injured trio who have returned from injury without «Diaby».

ok we didn, t start well but with a nearly fully fit squad we, ve got better in the last months, ours players seems to come back quicker from injuries kudos to the staff and we are only one point behind man shitty like wenger said each week is a chance to close the gap on chekski and it will happen patience my fellow gunners!!

, Montreal was meant to happen in the summer of that year per agreement has been reached with is club malaga but when Gibbs got injury and no one to cover he has to come that was why pellegrin (sorry if I murder the name) was angry with the said transfer Therefore, my point is it was not ment to happen the it was by chance as we all know Wenger don't like to buy player in winter... but who knows I might also happen by chance as it was during adebayor transfer too.

like what ox did, waiting long time to get a chance playing, when walcott get injuried he wont waste any second of it by giving his very best performance.

Injuries have once again derailed the Gunners» season, and despite a campaign that looked like their best chance of major silverware in years, Wenger's side arguably appears to have digressed.

even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs into the spaces that were crucial for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up top where his lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display for all to see... these are not the actions of a club that really cares about winning at the highest levels, but they are the actions of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training pitch and inside the locker room as players battled for a position that shouldn't have been theirs for the taking in the first place... don't get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look at the teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind of clubs who aspire to win at the highest levels... as for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead of continuing to try to fix a coat with a broken zipper simply move on and buy a new and better coat

Wilshere I don't believe has any chance of featuring into this squad and as much as I love his quality his injury record is starting to look like Abou Diaby sadly.

We have the worst injury record in Premier Leaugue for many seasons,»cause stubborn Wenger does not use subtitutes, trains them wrong in trainig, do not rotate, overplays his favorite players o after injuries, they will be in sartigline up too fast, (Rambo, Willshere, Walcott, Diaby etc.) and plays players in wrong position like our Diamond Özil, who has shown every time when he plays in his best position, number 10 CAM, he creates more chances, remember Villa game earlier his season, so Wenger OUT and fast.

And with players like Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Arteta himself back from injury, the Gunners have a great chance to get off the rollercoaster and keep moving onwards and upwards.

It might seem a little unfair on our replacement keeper David Ospina, as the Colombian international has not conceded a single goal in those games against Hull City and Stoke City and has only just been given his own chance after recovering from the injury he brought with him to Arsenal from the World Cup finals, but it sounds like Arsene Wenger is really trying to build a strong competitive spirit between his two main shot stoppers.

Looks like only an injury to about half of our squad is what it is going to take for Wenger to finally give Joel Campbell a chance.

Qualities: Giroud - Hold up (but not against top defenders Tery, Cahil, etc), short pass, hard working, team player, defensive duties (set - pieces), injuries Benteke - Hold up, short pass, better dribbler, long shots, finishing, positioning, defensive duties (set - pieces), can play with his back to the goal and also drop deep and face the goal when marked weakness: Giroud - very slow, easily marked, poor finishing (not wc finisher), technique Benteke - injuries, not a hard worker If you look the stats for the since 2012/2013, they have almost similar records except that Benteke scored like total of 19 goals (correct me if I'm wrong) in his 1st season and also have a decent record against top teams, keep in mind he plays for AstonVilla not Arsenal where you get much more chances and better players around.

So the thing stands like - If we win at Galatasray (very possible) and if BvB lose at home (given the number of injuries, very possible) than we top the group and than have every chance of drawing (as it stands) Schalke 04, Basel, Zenit, but have also the possibility of drawing Barcelona or Juventus (they are second in their respective group) and given your luck we will somehow still draw Barca.

I like Wilshire, he is as Arsenal as you can get, he is also in the last year of his contract and has to impress Wenger to earn a new contract, other wise its another player we lose on a free, i believe Wenger would of sold him if he could of so loaning a guy out with a year left on his contract would of been stupid, I hope he does get a chance to impress and can recapture his form when he first broke into the team and stay injury free, the season is long and there's plenty of games to give him

It looked like the Gunners had weathered the storm and were dominating the ball and creating chances ourselves, and our attack looked better once Bellerin came on as Gabriel had to move inside to replace the injury hit Mustafi, when we had the setback of a contentious penalty awarded for a foul on Joe Allen by Granit Xhaka.

He previously stated that his injuries would be no issue if he wanted to race in the top class of endurance racing, and with the likes of Ginetta entering LMP1 next year chances are there'll be a seat available for him somewhere — if he wants it.

The Colombian international has no doubt endured a torrid time since moving on loan to Manchester United from AS Monaco, with last season's lengthy injury layoff looking like doing some serious damage to his fitness and form, while who knows what missing what was likely his last chance at a World Cup has done to his confidence.

As well as the chance for our players to have a little rest, even those heading off with their countries, the break gives the likes of Coquelin and Giroud the chance to get over their injury problems, so Arsene Wenger should have an almost complete squad to choose from when Arsenal take on Swansea City in just under two weeks.

Poor Jack, it seems like the world stood still and he should just fall in any position he chooses whenever he returns from injury, if i was jack i would shut my mouth try to stay injury free, work hard and pray for a chance to represent arsenal again in what ever position the bosss put him in.
