At the minute you would have to say Santi Cazorla, who has just won his second PFA
fans player of the month award to go with his second similar award from the Arsenal fans.
The German was named PFA
fans player of the month for April, and it's clear he's filled with confidence.
Not exact matches
I am pissed - off that other teams even clubs like Spurs see the
players that they want and immediately pounce on them like a tramp on chips, but when it comes to Arsenal we make appointments weeks and
months into the future... I ask myself, what can I do as a
fan of my beloved Arsenal, and what can we (Arsenal
fans all over the world) do as supporters to show our outrage and indignation
of the status - quo at Arsenal when it comes to transfers.
(2) somewhat linked to the previous comment in that we never seem to be prepared to hit the ground running with our best potential lineup come opening day... it's become so common, in recent years, that many
fans actually hope we stumble a little in the first couple games just so it forces Wenger to bring in reinforcements... unfortunately this can be problematic, thus one
of the most common phrases associated with Wenger, «panic buy»... this situation is also negatively impacted by the ridiculous policy regarding
players who played in the summer
months... right now I'm watching the Super Cup and not a single
player is unavailable to either manager, including Ronaldo, yet somehow we have a list
of players half a mile long that haven't seen game - time so far this preseason... I can only assume this is a reactionary policy created due to the multitude
of injuries this club has faced over the years... just another sign
of the fragility that permeates this club
The Mirror say that 34 - year - old winger Frank Ribery may not be a Bayern
player much longer after suffering a ligament damage in his knee earlier this
month whilst Bleacher Report state that
fan - favourite Thomas Muller has been contemplating a move, even before the sacking
of Ancelotti.
With the amount
of long term injuries we have right now (and don't even try to persuade me that Danny Welbeck or Jack Wilshere or whoever will be back in the next few weeks), and how close we are to actually challenging for the Premier League title, I was imagining a big money arrival to give the
players and
fans a boost ahead
of crucial
month ahead.
guys obviously your both passionate Arsenal
fans and your both right in what you say but i have to agree with @Nothing changed, up until three years ago when we made new contracts with our sponsors which put us up there financially with the elite
of Europe but the quality or quantity
of signings did not match the finances, lets not forget we made a profit from sale
of players against buying
players and add that to your annual profits that's not acceptable, its a load
of bull that we couldn't sign Lamar on time we had almost three
months to do so, and regarding playing sexy football, what happen to it?
There are so many great
players out there in the world who never even get a mention until they become the media's /
fan's flavor
of the
month.
Silly thinking from a lot
of people on this site why would cavan come to arsenal it's people on this site been slating
players and manager for
months and you expect the like
of cavan to come to arsenal in that kind
of atmosphere think again, criticism
of the team and manager to a point but some arsenal
fans have taken it to extreme level with the kind
of language banded about
Arsene Wenger has already assured the Arsenal
fans that he will be having a busy
month in the transfer market and it seems pretty clear that the Frenchman is planning to sign more than just one
player to boost the squad and our chances
of keeping up the good run
of results and not letting the Premier League trophy slip through our grasp once more.
Dangle the carrot
of an exciting
player to the press, keep stirring the pot until the end
of January, the
player doesn't move and all the
fans whinge and moan but soon forget as we seek top 6 status in the coming
months.
The last few
months, however, have revealed increasing signs
of indifference by marquee
players, disenchantment among
fans and a lack
of leadership from tour officials.
I think some
of our
fans don't appreciate him enough, or that is what I thought, I'm glad they say Alexis is the
player of the
month.
It is feared that the former Port Vale striker will be missing for up to a
month, and Wednesday
fans will be wondering whether the likes
of Deon Burton and Marcus Tudgay can make up for the
player's absence.
Should this even be a topic?Giroud is a
player of average quality always surrounded by good players.I just don't get.It's as if only Arsenal
fans rate him.This was a
player who was bought to be the leading striker at Arsenal and after his years
of failure which many deny he's now become a super sub?How laughable is that.From failure to super sub.If the so called world class striker we're signing goes out with an injury for about five
months who comes in then.It seems to me people lack vision.Why is it always Giroud Giroud Giroud?After so many seasons people are still debating what souldn't even be debatable.I've lost count
of the number
of times he's been talked about here.This is the problem with our club.It's just not ruthless.This is a
player who should have been gone long ago but due to him being French he still gets the chances.We won't miss him when he goes and I'd like to see if he'd stand out in a smaller club.
Over the first two
months of the season, the success
of the league's two youngest
players has astonished
fans across the league while creating a riveting narrative.
With a little bit less than two
months to go until the winter transfer window opens in January, Arsenal
fans had better get used to all sorts
of rumours linking the Gunners with every
player under the sun.
It is certainly been a good November for us loyal Arsenal
fans as we have been hearing about lots
of our
players coming out with pledges
of loyalty, as well as, like Bellerin and Koscielny, signing new contracts in this supposedly bad
month.
You are 100 % right but i think the problem with the
fans (me incl) is that Arsenal / Arsene should
of signed more
players in the summer with the money we had in the bank to give us the depth to rotate and not have
players injured 40 %
of the time leaving us on the edge
of exploding playing at 60 % for 2
months solid in a very much tighter premier league where even so called smaller teams have more money, bought better
players and are not easy to beat these days.
First you want to point a finger at other
fan's old comments and then you add half the team to Sanchez as been the
player of the
month.??
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...
Having said all that, Arsenal
fans will be hoping that he bangs in plenty
of goals for us in the coming
months and years and Arsene Wenger thinks that his new striker finding the back
of the net just 15 minutes into his Arsenal debut could really help him to do just that, as it will settle the nerves and stop any build up
of pressure that we have seen affect
players like Giroud and Walcott in the past.
Now we can look forward to three
months of us
fans demanding Arsene signs ten world class
players and then on August 31st Arsene signs ojum» kebliq from the Tanzanian jungle league and Far - king - yusless from Taiwan for free The fun never ends following Arsene ahh I mean Arsenal
Frankly I don't care anymore, AFC, the way it is been run now is not worth all the heartache and disappointment it keeps giving us
fans and am totally done with hoping anything good is in the offing... the manager is on # 8million per year, the least paid
player in the squad will earn in a
month what I will prolly earn in a year, the board and owner gets # 3million for giving advice so why should I be miserable foe my for my wife and daughter because
of a club which cares nothing for me?
If I asked this question a few
months ago I expect there would have been a unanimous answer from the Arsenal
fans, but the further improvement and current excellent form
of our France international striker Olivier Giroud will probably have eased the need for a
player like Cavani in many
of our minds.
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction
of this club... regardless
of those who still feel that Henry has some sort
of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding
of the game, he knows the
fans are being hosed and he feels some sense
of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple
months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless
of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures
of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers
of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state
of our squad, none
of our world class
players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one
of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one
of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
but becuz we are arsenal
fans and our
players are different and must always perform regardless
of the circumstance so we not only expect Ozil to have a gud game given the circumstance, but we DEMAND he perform at 100 % and perform miracles after being for three
months!
