I honestly believe we have a pretty
decent squad of players who could challenge for the league under a younger, more motivated, more inspiring manager with fresh ideas, i.e. someone like Allegri.
Not exact matches
All our
players got a
decent number
of minutes
of good competition, so overall the preparation
of the
squad looks good.
And other teams buying
players even though they have a good
squad also doesn't go unnoticed by our
players.It must be putting doubts in their minds as to why am i in this team who isn't showing ambition.I am against buying for the sake
of buying but at least assemble a
decent group
of players who could get the job done.
He can rotate with Giroud and Sanogo which would not only give us
decent squad depth, but with a
player of his caliber, would be able to get those types
of goals that Giroud and Sanogo just are incapable
of getting.
I could be wrong but don't see him as a PL centre forward option for some time at least but he is one
of those types who Wenger obviously likes that could play anywhere in the front 3 behind the CF. I rate DW as a
squad player and
decent option and am open - minded as to how much better he can become — I suppose bottom line is I don't see Dybala as an either / or option for Welbeck.
So if losing Mustafi and OX, and Jenkinson and Gibbs, and Perez, and Debuchy, and Wellbeck, means that Arsenal can bring in a couple
of exceptional
players to compliment the host
of decent players on the
squad, then do it.
After that we have a complete
squad of decent players.
They are
decent squad players and Bellerin is a starter (he just needs to up his form, he was in the PFA Team
of the Year last season).
I've always thought Elneny a
decent squad player, but I must re-evaluate things because this is one
of the weakest Arsenal central midfield known from my memory.
A
decent squad player, Adriano has not managed to become a regular at Barca and has been linked with the likes
of Liverpool and AS Roma in recent months as a summer exit seems likely.
How do you go from getting the best out
of crappy
players that couldn't make it anywhere else after leaving us to making the worst out
of very
decent squad.
of our
squad it's still current that only
players like Kos, Sanchez, Mustafi, Cazorla, Cech Bellerin, Ozil, Walcott, (when they turn up) are worthy
of being called «World Class» the rest are mediocre or in some cases diabolical and this is the real reason we can not seem to achieve anything like
decent silverware in either the EPL or CL.
If half
of our first team is injured from November to March every year, we MUST buy more
decent squad players.
Its part
of the reason we have not been winning titles because we are too patient with
players and have not had a
decent squad.
What some people don't understand is that we still have some subpar
players in the
squad as we had to sell stars & sign
decent players who aren't worldbeaters, due to the short - term financial constraints
of the stadium move.
He is a winner and would add super quality to our
squad and he could be signed at a
decent price.but will barca be selling any
of their
players since they are banned fro m making any signings
Predictably like mushrooms the AKBs are out with a glimpse
of sunshine... It's not negative like I said Ramsey is a
decent squad player to have on the bench or against lowly opposition when quality
players need a rest..
Saying that Wenger has had over a decade to build a winning
squad is absolute horse sh*t because not only did he not have
decent funds available, like I mentioned how can you build a world beating
squad when every new season you have 3
of your best
players gone with newer, inferior
players to replace them?
I honestly think we are just 2
players short
of a
decent starting and back up x1 and have enough depth in the
squad to give us a strong 25 plus 8
decent youngsters to genuinely give us 3
players for each position, with 3 slightly different formations
Chambers - Paid a lot
of money for a young
player with little experience in regards First Team and Premiership games.He looked a good prospect and because
of injuries to the
squad he found himself playing very soon into his Arsenal career.This caught up with him a bit as did playing with different CB partners and filling in at full back.Form dipped and was out
of the side till a year long loan move to Boro.He was playing every week and despite them going down he was one
of their best and consistent players.He has been indifferent since coming back but has looked better in last few games he has played.I believe there is a very
decent centre back in this
player and would not describe him as a bad buy at all.
whatever you think
of ramsey... and in my books he is a
decent b2b but certainly not top class... he is not going to control the area between edge
of box and centre line which is what all great DMs do... nor has coquelin proved that to me... he is a guttusso type
player and has improved massively in that role... not convinced it is what will take us to challenging for titles however which is why a cavalho type DM is a needed addition especially as arteta and flamini are obviously not up to the task... but have always said that wengers job is to get best out
of ozil santi and wilshere who are the real creative world class strengths
of this
squad... they need protection behind them and options in front... at moment the real worry is that wenger will continue to use mertesakher at CB and fail to bring in quality striker... so the song remains the same... without quality DM and attacking option we will be trying to retain 3rd place and reach qf
of cl
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable
of endless gallic bullshit....4 th place junkies wetting themselves over 3rd place finish should realise that other teams will be strengthening in summer definitely the others in top 4 and always a surprise or two outside... wenger has f @@@@@ us over for ten years now selling top
players and bringing in a string
of jokers... yes that changed with ozil and sanchez... but giroud coquelin and monreal while all
decent and can help us to another 4th place but not beyond that (coquelin could still be a top class
player but ai nt there yet) walcott and podolski will never deliver and merteshaker would not be in any other top 15 team in europe... so the idea that the
squad is on the cusp
of greatness is moronic and confirmed by end
of season performance... we need four quality signings but i would settle for two (attacker plus DM) and an upgrade (left back)..
If anyone can name any
player in any club's
squad that is a third choice in a particular position other than CB (2
of them on the pitch, need a
decent 3rd option) that would require an immediate replacement, I'm all ears?
It makes absolutely no sense at all, and he is just contradicting himself, as surely you need a big
squad of decent players if you are going to rotate for the champions league?
Portugal have a
decent squad, with a couple
of exceptional
players.
Bellerin (more like a winger back), Jenkinson (if he can fill in for RB and CB, would be a very
decent squad player), Chambers (most versatile
of the lot), Hayden (still needs time).
It is simply a fact that African
decent players dominate the clubs Rt wing and if you look at the academy
squad all
of the attack
players are African descent
players.
of course, i get frustrated at the fact we buy 1
decent player and then all the pressure sits on their shoulders i feel for sanchez every game he works his arse off and he looks like he annoyed by some
of the other
players who ai nt up to it we have a
decent squad but we need 1st team cdm and a striker and a
decent cb, look at bayern benatia, boateng, martinez, dante all being played at cb but our only
decent cb is kos, its not good enough i like mert but he ai nt gonna help us win the league, would love arsene to finish this season with at least 1 more trophy and then try bring in pep guardiola he's the only manager similar to arsenal's style but i think he would need a promise from the board for big funds
He also works his nuts off something some our
players don't seem to do at times so adds desire and work rate to our side and obviously
squad depth if we had Wellbeck last season we could
of rested Giroud a lot more so in my mind it's a
decent signing.
no idea what games you have been watching but the idea
of ramsey as a defensive enforcer is comical... missed tackles galore, slow in to tackles and weak first touch define his game... though to be fair only wenger thinks he is a renasiance footballer qble to play any position... the ramsey bandwagon was for some time based on the barca cant have him ay any price delusion... the man should be part
of the summer sale crop along with mert walcott and gibbs... its fifty fifty on campbell and giroud... both are
decent squad players but the need for quality attacking options is palpable
Coquellin I think has the potential but 4 months in EPL limelight doesn't prove it that's for sure... On your logic we would be classifying charlie Austen as one
of worlds leading strikers and shelving out a packet for him... Giroud is a very
decent squad player but Walcott has been over hyped ever since the idiot swede put him in to England
squad for no reason....
In the space
of a week the Gunners, who had just started to believe that we were coming out
of the long dark tunnel
of our injury crisis into the light
of having a
decent and strong
squad, have lost two key
players for most
of the rest
of this season.
The likes
of McCormack, Carles Gil, Jordan Veretout, Rudy Gestede, Carlos Sanchez and Adama Traore should all bring in
decent fees, and there are other
players in the
squad that Bruce may feel aren't part
of his long - term plans.
Song, arguably our most improved
player is on 4 yellow cards and we should ensure that he doesn't miss the Chelsea game.The partnership
of Gallas and Vermaelen is outstanding, yet one can not expect them to play in every game, and it is in that are we are weak in cover.With regards to the full back situation, perm any two from four, that is Clichy, Gibbs, Eboue, Sagna and even Traore they are attacking wing backs and are always at risk on the quick counter attack by the opposition.Almunia still doesn't impress me and his command
of his area is still indecisive and he is still vulnerable to letting goals in, especially to his near post.Wenger being Wenger, I doubt he will buy in January, and it is a pity we didn't go for Given months before he joined City, when he was available for a comparatively cheap price.This new diamond shape or 4 -1-4-1 is working well and we have an abundance
of quality to interchange, which bemuses the opposition more often than not.We have every chance this year, and we are also being helped by the fact that the other so called big four sides are showing their vulnerability.A couple
of decent signings, not
squad players in January, and hopefully we are in the mix.
We've still signed a good lot
of decent players and have, on paper at least, a
squad that's good enough to be competitive in League One.
On a more minor note, I have it on
decent authority that changes have been made to the
squad system, working in favour
of those
of you who are tactically - minded: should a
squad member request an order and receive no response from their
squad leader, the
player who made the request will actually become
squad leader, in what I can only describe as a kick in the teeth for any irresponsible «commanding officers.»
