I can taste the overwhelming wisdom about Walcott on the way in April when he returns just in time to get the usual few games before a major tournament and undeservedly gets picked for England — blocking the inclusion of a deserving player.
But, he should have had another 2 before he scored, I think we need to be patient with Theo, people attack him for not making the correct runs or lacking the instinct of a striker, but for this he simply needs time, games is how he will learn this, I would think he is getting good advice from AW and perhaps our new U18s Attacking coach The King can give him some tips.
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
50 - 70 mil striker might win you crucial games in EPL and CL... If we got that one we won't be knocked out every time from 16 - round of the CL, we might have taken the chances that we had against Utd and Chelsea...

Basically this long post leaves me saying we now currently have a 24 man squad classed as over 21 (born 1993 or before) in addition we have some highly thought of under 21s like bellerin and chambers that already command a place in first x1 or the «23» so unless flamini, campbell, wellington, Martinez or even rosicky decide they won't be getting enough game time I do not really see any signings more coming in.
I went to several «alumni» games (and even got Earl Morral's autograph), saw the original Zeke the Wonder Dog, enjoyed the alumni band days where they led HS Bands (to replace the students in games before school started), met all kinds of former Spartans during tailgate times, totally enjoyed the pre pre game MSU band marches, loved the band before game, at halftime, and post game.

What an idiot these Paul Merton geezer saying he can't see any arsenal player getting into Chelsea team well pal with the same set of players we've beaten them 3 times in the last twelve months besides we are playing away so if we get a point to me that's a result against Chelsea, don't let's beat ourselves and the team before the game, come on yu gooooooners!!!!!!!!
I like isco, but I like him at Madrid for now... do nt think he has the physicality at the moment to fit into the pl... he'll be the perfect replacement for carzola but for now might be too soon and too much of a luxury to have at arsenal... jack needs to have some time next to le coq and lets see how that works.i guess jack and Ramsey got ta fight it out for that position, though Ramsey always seems to come a across as inconsistent n not as naturally talented as jack... ramsey will always have the odd off game with his passing and decision making.jacks seasons mostly get interrupted by injuries though I thnk he would do well alongside le coq... a backup dm would be great though in transfer window and OT: Get dyabala or watshisname... before Maureen gets his hands on himget interrupted by injuries though I thnk he would do well alongside le coq... a backup dm would be great though in transfer window and OT: Get dyabala or watshisname... before Maureen gets his hands on himGet dyabala or watshisname... before Maureen gets his hands on him!!!
Say what you like admin.Even Diaby upon doing nothing for several seasons was able to secure a move to Marseille which to me is a top team.Was it not last season that before he went to Bournemouth teams like Juventus and AS Roma were interested in him?He just needs a league which is not physical for the mean time.I mean any time he gets a run of games he begins to hit top forn and just when things are looking up things go down again.This injury thing is a menace in our club.Look at the number of games Gnabry has played.But I will urge him to leave Arsenal because all he needs to do is to remain injury free.It's not rocket science.If Wilshere remains injury free for just one season he'll be great.It's just like the Van Persie case.A lot of people were frustrated with him and cllled him man of glass but I knew he just needed to be injury free for one season.To me he's a better player than Ramsey though Ramsey is on form.He also has the ability to surpass Cazorla and be Arsenal's number one.He's also Arsenall thrugh and through.Arsenal has to solve his injury problems because he's shown that when he gets a run of games he can do it.

Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now
Either way, I would say it is nothing much to worry about; when he gets game time he will score and assist; from the minutes we have seen he manages to get himself a 1v1 with the goalie every match so it's only a matter of time before his composure comes back.
So after that ramble about how Wenger can't drill players, I want to see our young defenders go out on loan and get that side of training before it is «too late», Wenger isn't leaving before his contract is up and by then it could have cost us millions, loan out Holding ASAP to give him game time and confidence while being drilled in how to defend.

After a terrible new year fixture schedule that saw Arsenal, who have already had the drawback compared to Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool of having to play the six extra midweek games in the Champions League, have to play two games in two days and get the shortest recovery time of all the clubs chasing the EPL title, we now have a well needed breather before the next league match.
Chambers can establish himself alongside Holding as AFC main backups and rotations CBs before Gabs is fit and match sharp, IMO the real question would be if we should keep Gab or sell him once we can for Chambers and Holding to get game time.
I agree about Mustafi and the Cazorla link helped him out and sometimes Granit does put the CBs under pressure because he can't find a forward pass or is too scared too, but facts are facts Mustafi made 1 start at the 2014 WC & 2 sub appearances making a total of 132 minutes only in the group before he got injured, I disagree he «helped» Germany win the WC as he simply didn't play enough and didn't play any knockout games so was only a squad player who played 1.5 games in total, he can play well but tends to panick and finds himself out of position ALL the time, he is a liability diving into tackles and trying to make interceptions he has no.
you wont see a cazorla or a xavi losing possession, not only that but they drive the team forward.but unfortunately u hav players like ramsey, who do nt drive the attack like the above two, also he loses possessions sometimes by attempting fancy moves.its sad ramsey gives more importance to style over substance.unfortunately, i feel players like ramsey hav contributed to arsenal's inability... imagine a team like barcelona playing with him, constantly losing posession leading to conceding goals and so on.difference is barca's manager wud take them out, while under wenger u r rewarded with the nxt game!!!! i do nt deny he was top notch a season or two back, but now hes a liability imo and need to change his mentality.even that opportunity he got against tottenham where thought longer before taking a shot thus giving defender time to get to him and take off the ball.i bet if it was cazorla, arsenal wud hav scored...
