of money you'll be getting far more talented
players.If you watch a lot

age mates that are better than him but their not yet being talked about because some are in average teams and others are yet to be given a proper stage.Also, Monaco never wanted to sell Mbappe and Lemar this season.If Arsenal were interested in any other
players we would have gotten them long ago.They might have even demanded more than # 80 if many clubs were interested and honestly speaking can you blame them?Is he the only talented winger that Arsenal are looking at?We have to spend money wisely and this ain't wise business.

age) the service and he will be a top top player.Look at his movement and see how frustrated he gets as the ball continually goes from side to side and backwards.I see a lot
of Ian Wright in this boy but even Wrighty would struggle with the way we are set up and play.When Sánchez is gone he will become our main man and just watch the difference.Remember those days when the
football was slick and fast?Remember when we had pace all through the team and had
players who knew how to use it?When we change manager a bring in a coach who gets the best from
players by playing to their strength you will see a totally different Lacazette and Arsenal

Joining a club
of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement
of how our
players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list
of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured
of all
players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for other greener pastures.He was a clear talented
footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to get used to the rythm
of the game.With time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented
player from southampton with raw talent.He was very good at first but wenger found a way to reduce his level
of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for other talented
players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented
player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him run and run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much better
player than this.Theo walcott - Another
player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top
of that another
player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off
age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms well just recently.But imagine all the legendary
players he was often compared to during his time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for
players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same
player for the next many years.That is why each and every
player are what they are because
of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same
player for over 7 years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge team while the rest is in your court.It is not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more than our own
players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsibility
