Not exact matches
I also went
on to say that even with the players we've
got, even a a manager
such as Pardew for example would rub his
hands together if he was in charge of the talent that we have at Arsenal as he knows that with his mindset
on how the
game should be played i.e functionality over flair, even he could make the players and team much more formidable.
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...
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS
on an article about Chambers at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why
such a frugal club spent so much money
on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for players who could have a monumental impact
on the very future of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't
get me wrong, I like what he showed at times last season in Middlesbourogh but from the handful of
games I watched him play I still have some serious questions about his consistency as a back - line player in the EPL; as
such he should prove himself
on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not
get bogged down with the semantics of peripheral players and focus
on the real task at
hand = figure out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means
getting contracts signed,
getting rid of a lot of deadwood and bringing in talented players into the positions which truly need upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
Walcott is fast and will be the best in the world if he continiously works
on the way he handles the ball, as well as Nasri who
on the other
hand do nt really have a speedy run but very compact
on the way he moves
on the pitch and fast enough when he dribbles.But for the two lads to be compared with Rosicky, Pires, Hleb and bergkamp is still a bit of a question.Arshavin is one of these players who plays like Rosicky or Hleb but has
got lil bit more quality
such as: more goal minded, more agressive, and more intelligent.We really need Arshavin, not only to
get trophies but to
get our beautifull play back in the
game again.Cant wait to see Walcott and especially Fab back again.I beleive many Fans out there are dreamin to see this line up = Sagna - Gallas - Djourou - Clichy Toure Walcott - Fab — Rosicky Arsha Ade
Well, frankly, it's one thing to stagger the release dates if it's genuine, but if it's a strategic way to milk people into buying extra copies of the same
game, especially from
such a beloved franchise that people can't wait to
get their
hands on, that's unfair and hopefully untrue as well.

I could go
on about Uprising,
such as how it features one of my favorite difficulty based mechanics or was one of the first
games I really
got into StreetPassing with, or how its soundtrack brought together the likes of Motoi Sakuraba (known for his work within the Tales series), Yuzo Koshiro (prior works including Streets of Rage and Shenmue), Masafumi Takada (the man behind the music for God
Hand, the Danganronpa series and multiple
games by Suda51) to create one of my favorite modern soundtracks in all of video

If you're playing it for the first time, this is as good a version as any to
get a taste of the excellent blend of turn - based strategy and real - time action that made the
