I laughed when you said he will likely be the best
player in the club he's moving to.I hope Arsenal fans don't deceive themselves also into thinking this.The thing he has over most wingers in the world is work rate.Apart
from that in terms
of technique, skill and
talent there are quite a lot who can match him there or are even better.He won't have that patience
of a club like Arsenal that allows for mistakes and he'll be benched even when he doesn't want it.I did mention that he was world class.The fact that you're overrated doesn't mean you aren't world class.I know all his stats and like you I've watched him since he came here and I can say we are making him look better than he actually is.As for him being irreplaceable I don't think it» sthe first time we heard that about an Arsenal

talent.

nice to see you crawl out
of your hole just in time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts
of Arsene, Dein & staff to uncover and develop
talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid to bring strong personalities and / or world - class
players into the fold without being fearful
of how said
players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal
of all our greatest
players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in...
from Henry to RVP to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy to see that this club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead
of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending to be a world - class soccer club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done to my beloved club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team to pretend to follow
OT: Dortmund are making a last ditch attempt to hijack the Jadon Sancho deal
from Arsenal.They are telling the
player that they are the best possible team to give him first team chances and can improve his career as a youngster citing Ousmane Dembele as an example.The
player wants out because he does not see a clear path to the first team in Man City.Their actions are possibly slowing down the announcement
of a deal for Sancho.Jadon Sancho is regarded by many as the best U18

talent well every one is entitled to his opinion.

players that were bought but did not produce, there is a lot

of our international
players
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
Just in case the ramblings are clear enough ladies and gents; If we are a big club then why the hell aren't we spending the money, or better yet if we don't have the money why aren't you actively scouting
players from the goddamn rainforest if need be, who have
talent instead
of commentating on the Euros and turning up to games with
players we are linked with and you damn well know we ain't signing.

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
However it relies on the sales
of the average
players in the squad, as well
of course the availability
of talent on the market and the willing investment
from Arsenal.

And people blaming the
players... there is very little wrong with the amount
of talent on Arsenal's book this season -
from attack to defence.
Honestly, paulinho is a disgrace to a midfield that once boasted
of xavi deco etc As for the others I don't think details are necessary, the bottom line is that for a board with a sporting director Barca made a huge mistake in allowing lucho sign such
players (he wasn't responsible for paulinho but he gave them such ideas),
from now on we should keep a group
of world class
players (like RM), coaches who Believe in our PHILOSOPHY only should come and use these
players to give us our football back, valverde is not successful because
of messi only, he is successful because the core
of this team is a group
of the most technically gifted and intelligent
players in the world, the board knows this and so do RM, that's why we are chasing
players like fdj, deligt, and even alaba, because once this core
of la masia
talent is gone we would be useless if there are no adequate replacements, this board must continue signing replacements for our core and for once!
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
It was Ozil who last said in 2013, that Wenger was the person who attracted him into joining Arsenal, but perhaps
players no longer see Arsenal as an ambitious side, even
from the perspective
of a young
talent.
As long as you support your club through the hard times and good times then you are a fan regardless
of what you say it is about the heart not the words but the heart.Also not only stats are facts but they might also be quiet misleading.For Afobe i will not comment anymore but i do know for sure that he will reach my expectation and maybe you do not see it that way and you might feel i am not speaking with facts or whatever but life itself has no formula and is not really bound by facts because we make the facts.Afobe can become a world class
player and i do not care if any manager in the EPL does not see it that way but i see it that way.For
talent is given to the one who can harness it and once things go right then i expect him to be there.No one can take that away
from him.
The Gunners have often sought to bring through a fresh selection
of homegrown
talent, but perversely, many
of these
players are
from overseas rather than being actually English.
Well your righ with met spend but in amount paid out for
players no net were 5th but i agree our champions league performances have been poor we had some tough draws and the premier league is more demanding then the other leagues in strwnght
of competition and games played still excuses do nt win but that monaco loss left me shaking my head in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout and we should be performing better were under performing for the
talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the
talent and plays well but cant hold focus in games he drops off and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two seasons away
from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will just be another ox but i think its been a wake up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave
of ideas to not only get us back to winning ways but become title contenders and i think give him the extension one year its a world cup year and that will also allow our
players esp strikers who been very poor this year realized its tough to play in englad and next year will have a better idea what it really takes to win here shore up some spots and depth and were in contention fail and the changes will happen but let him have one more year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn
from the decline
Definetely agree with you, last week was one
of the more dynamic way
of playing
from Arsenal in the season due to Ox being in the middle.He is fast and direct, Welbek is direct, Sanchez is direct, Cazorla adapt to them, Giroud has just to run into the box for the finishing touch, no slowing.Ox is a kind
of Hazard style
of player, I expect him him barring injuries to be a huge
talent in the close time.
You say 21 years making Arsenal a success and I agree to an extent but gone are the days when Mr Wenger applies himself and buys
players of the calibration
of Bergkamp, Henry and Overmars, when we had an eye for
talent we were a force to be reckoned with but since David Dein went it's all gone downhill
from then, it's as though the kitty belongs to Wenger and he's turned into Scrooge.
We get that kind
of effort
from ALL the
players this Fall and I don't care what the record turns out to be, because it's that effort that will get us to the top with the
talent that we get, year in and year out.
So, do you pick
from the caliber
of players who are likely to be there, resulting in a closer match to the level
of talent, but an overly optimistic match to the team's needs?
