Pasalic is contracted to Chelsea until 2021, but would almost certainly need to go back out on loan to
get playing time next season.
Not exact matches
I need to work with it, as I would have preferred them to be softer... but, I
played this same recipe off on a stack of fresh Asparagus the
next day... and they
got soft and tender when cooked longer... so, they just need a little
time on lower heat... then a last minute sear for the browning... YUM
when i lived with my grandparents school let out before they
got off work i went to an after school center where i received tutoring for my homework or i
played with other kids in similar situations on occasion this place would take us on field trips one such field trip was to the local roller skating rink i was not a klutzy child, not more than the usual actually, i was quite coordinated at sports but put round wheels on my shoes and it was a mess i fell on my ass more
times than i was standing and no lie the
next day i could not poop
Same points, and this
time we won't
get pot 1, this
time we'll be
playing in a much tougher group in the champions league
next year so don't be so proud of 2nd spot.
I'll go a step further if Van Djik hasn't signed for Liverpool I would try to make a move and here is why: 1) Prem experience 2) Southampton
plays a similar style of football than Arsenal 3) He can
play in both a 3 and 4 man defense with his ability on the ball 4) Mustafi has been up and down and I don't know which one we're
getting ahead of
next season and will it be for 38 weeks 5) Mertesacker will go into a non
playing role 6) Chambers has
played well at Boro but well enough to
play a big role into this team... not really and could be used in any deal for Van Djik 7) Koscielny is our best defenders but is dealing with a chronic injury not only that he hasn't made the best decisions at
times Everything mentioned above will free wages but also increase Wenger money to spend!
Remember if you aren't at the head of the class when it comes to the development of young talent, which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing to properly train and
play said blue chippers, (like the 90s Arsenal or clubs like the modern day Monaco and Dortmund) you need to spend to win... anything in between is highly problematic... failure to make the necessary changes leaves you in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult to
get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan teams...
next step after that is being known as a «seller», which could be us already if and when Sanchez leaves... there are only two teams that have worn this moniker in recent
times and had some decent success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond, which only occurred when they both brought in new, charismatic leaders in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing to create the hierarchy necessary to go the youth route and he's unwilling to put his team's potential success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's
time to place all your chips in the middle or go gently into that good night
The goal for the 24 - year old now, as well as helping Arsenal to finish this campaign as strongly as possible and secure a place at Europe's top table
next time, is to
get match sharp and find some form ahead of Euro 2016, a tournament that Wilshere
played a big part in
getting England to, with Man of the Match awards in six out of the seven qualifying games he
played.
That final grasp of a lead didn't last long, though, as in the very
next at - bat Judge doubled to left field that (thanks to some interference by a grabby, leaning fan) didn't
get back to the infield in
time to make a
play at the plate to
get Jacoby Ellsbury (running for Headley) out.
he needs more games under his belt... The game against dortmund, he has to start to
get more
playing time... Casilla is not good enough to be the 1st team keeper for sure... not aggressive enough in all aspects of goalkeeping... Let kepa join in
next summer.
PSG will just be hoping he
gets back to France in good health
next week so as to avoid any missed
playing time for them.
What about that
time we fell apart in the second half at South Carolina, went straight to the locker room when we
got back the
next day and had to put on those smelly uniforms that had been locked in the trunk all night, and Pat hollered, «Now you're going to
play the half you didn't
play last night!»
Getting a warm up versus a Liga MX team in March ahead of possibly
playing another Liga MX team
next March is something I'll support every
time.
The French forward has been one of United's top targets for some
time, but if Ozil
gets his way he'll be
playing alongside him in Spain
next season.
They claim the
next 10 days will be crucial to where the Spaniard will be
playing his football
next season, with Barca set to look elsewhere unless they can
get the deal done in that
time.
If he still isn't
playing by this
time next year, then there's a problem in terms of him
getting more callups.
Already, his agent has come out to express his client's displeasure over having difficulty in
getting regular
playing time and this could mean that Perez is seriously considering his options for
next season — but whether he stays or leave Arsenal, depends on how much more
playing time he can
get.
We've
played them a few
times over the last few years and always won — we always
got through to the
next round — but maybe this one will be the toughest one so far,» Robben said.
@Josh AW has to keep all his players happy and give them some
play time otherwise they will want to leave as well specially its World Cup coming up
next summer, but now that Welback is out for a few weeks through injury i'm sure Laca will
get more
play time
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
Arsenal can convince Aubameyang with a 200k weekly wages and offer Walcott plus a sum of # 48 millon to
get him Dortmund might be willing to accept because they will fancy walcott as per they
play similar role and walcott will sign in Germany because there are 18 teams unlike 20 EPL teams and also he will
get winter breaks for the 1st
time in his life in Bundesliga and Dortmund could offer him up to 100k weekly wages and Arsenal could add 20k weekly for him, Dortmund also
play in the champions league
next season.
4) yes Keita: he's
got a release clause that
get's activated
next year it's around 45 mil if I remember correctly, i highly rate him as the all rounder Dm / Cm / Am does it all and can fill the cazorla void instantly, for anyone that are reading the 70 - 80 million valuation I don't see any team paying that, but making him the most expensive African player will sure tempt him to move Bid 45 mil with add ons and there is a big chance of
getting him, if they don't accept that offer to make a red bull commercial that should boost the sales of that terrible tasting energy drink, Sanchez Ozil Ramsey ox bellerin wenger it's
time to
get drinkng that's Just good marketing for redbull, a team with no history or fans shouldn't have a say in who to keep in the first place they are a stepping stone to bigger things and we are the team to make you world class, wan na eventually
play in barca or real look at our track record we will
get you there!!
With seven guys headed the NBA draft, five - star guard Malik Newman has a chance to
get major
playing time next season...
AW can train, pick and motivate, but he can not «
play» for them...
Get real and think up something better to come with
next time...
Arsenal is a wealthy club force Sanchez to
play for under 23s and let him leave for free
next season, his stats were better at arsenal because Wenger built the team around him now he feels bigger than the club, the team he wants to move to never wanted him before he came here, we need to bully him for his ego, he is 29 arsenal will be there till end of
time, just
get lemar and goretzka cogy!
The good thing is that Wilshere is
getting regular first team
playing time Wilshere needs to perform well with P'mouth and avoid injury but i see him rejoining us
next season.
Apparently Wenger sent Jenkinson on loan because he wanted him to
get lots of minutes under his belt and he sees him as part of his future plans, Jenko is still only 22, I believe he will be Arsenal's future RB, I see Chambers as a CB, Bellerin looks to be a future star but should be sent on loan
next season to a decent premier league side where he will be given a lot of
playing time.
With seven guys headed the NBA draft, five - star guard Malik Newman has a chance to
get major
playing time next season for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Another positive from the multitude of negatives is that if this game had of been a double header on aggregate like it will most likely be
next time we
play, well then our players would not have given up the fight after the first half mauling and may have even
got our goal before their fourth went in.
Cech's better days are behind him but he is still ahead of Ospina in my view.We need a Top Tier GK
next season and Oblak is being touted and this is the type of quality we need to introduce in ALL positions that need strengthening.
Next season I would have the following pecking order for our keepers Oblak (or similar quality) Cech - He would relish a No2 roll with the cup games to keep him sharp Martinez - He will
get his opportunities and follows Cech to No2 roll after 1or2 seasons Macey - loaned out for season Ospina - Too good not to
play regularly but NOT good enough to be AFC No.Sell him and let him enjoy some game
time
«It was my first
time ever
playing there, so over the
next month or so I am going to look at a few videos of the game and of players who
play in that position regularly — Pirlo, Mascherano and players like that and I'll
get better.
They'll all
get plenty of game
time next season even if there all fit there will be
time's when one might not be happy with the amount of game
time there
getting but they will all
play a big part throughout the season.
Hello everyone this my personal suggestions am saying since all pundit always say @arsenal did not have natural leaders in our team, should wenger sign cech and make him captain since Ateta will not
get regular
playing time next season
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.
i just think the team is to unbalanced
playing Ramsay on the right were he spends most of his
time in the middle is ridiculous leaving our right back exposed especially when you have the ox and Walcott on the bench and whose fault is it that the team is unbalanced the man who picks the team it does not matter if we
get a world class striker if we keep
playing players out of position anyway on to Newcastle
next hope we
get the 3 points COYG
However, except if we have injuries ravaging our squad
next season, these players — Sanogo, Akpom and Gnabry — really shouldn't be
getting much
playing time in the first team — not even from cup games.
wenegr is in the twilight years of his arsenal career now he might or might not see out the full term of his contract, i would image he wont give up but if he do nt
get a big prize this season or
next his desire might dwindle even more the board have seen what a shambles man united have gone through and the expense of failure, if they do nt
get the
next appointment right the board is trying to give themselves as much
time to identify a replacement and in the correct
time unless wenger leaves at short notice, i think if he had won the c / l all thought years ago we would be looking at a different story i think he would have left at the end if that contract as he would be at the peak of his powers and could of gone anywhere he like across europe, but he didn't win and here we are now, i respect the man for what he has done for us and english football a modern day herbert chapmen he is but even old chappy had his end of and era and wenger will have his end its just how will it
play out hopefully a winner
We might
get a few minutes out of him
next season, but he won't have
time to
play himself into form.
Not sure if PSG need Poldi plus it looks like we can
get # 12 - 14M for him not bad business for his age, I understand the Giroud link but if he's CL cup tied can't see PSG wanting him either, all will be clearer this
time next week, I would prefer Carvallho over Khedira just because of age and wage, he can also
play CB so is more versatile as well, Reus maybe Poldis replacement (mouth watering) and Manolas for CB cover
Let's just focus on one match at a
time Right now I am not even thinking about the PL Because our
next match is League Cup away to Nottm Forest Hopefully Caz, Coquelin, Alexis and some other guys will
get some well deserved rest as they
played 3 matches in a week.
why those tactics a desperate attempt in trying to convince one or two players who might not even be with us come
next season that they will
get playing time?
I really ca n`t understand the rumours that he will
get a 1 year deal extension, «cause even blind can see that we need a proper DM in january or at the latest
next summer tranfer window and Arteta is not a DM and we have better attacking midfielders allreary n the squad and youngsters like Zelalem, Gnabry and OX who need more
playing time tham Arteta.
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 wa

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 wa

I guarantee you
next time they
get a chance to
play we'll see a totally different performance from them.
cavani probably wont happen not wenger type of striker (wont
play on the wings, non flexible non starter for wenger) like unless some one else said on here if it was on our terms and price (or if the big russian was willing to make a one off donation to cover all expenses then maybe also while we use the rest of funds to
get players we need) then and only then it would happen maybe the growing consensus is a d / m who covers at c / h (it would have been mbia for free if we
got cavani how scary is that) and maybe one more marquee signing for a reasonable price i would bet my house on it (if i had one of course lol) if we were to offer bvb # 45 million for reus this week or at the start of
next and offered him # 130,000 in wages he would be ours injury or not at 25 years old worth the risk every
time.
Regarding Newcastle, we can beat them, NO PROBLEm Why arw we
getting worried CSK, are a good team and we will have to
play well to
get a result so we know that and have
time to hone our boys to do the business Let Nelson and willock have a run and Nketiah a full run wenger you
got ta give them the
time or you will lose them Nelson is already upset with you do nt let it
get a grip or you wont have a team for the
next seasons
You know that if we lose — and please God we don't — for that 24 hours or so, or until we
play them
next time, you're going to
get hammered.
all season while we had ozil he has only been allowed to
play in his main position 2
times once against villa and other against galetaseray and in this game we for the first
time played with two natral wingers with ozil in the number 10 and a fast cf for the first
time ever since ozil has been here and you all know the outcome, part from that wenger has shifted ozil out wide all season and turned him into a scapegoat for the media and fans but as soon as ozil
gets injured the
next game wenger
plays with 2 natrual wingers and put wilshire in middle with cazorla, so the question is wernger trying to destroy ozil?
When you consider that Sanchez, Welbeck, Ozil, Oxlade - Chamberlain and Gnabry can all
play in his best position, then it's difficult to see how much
time he's actually going to
get on the pitch in the
next few seasons, particularly if Ox continues to develop and if Gnabry starts reaching his potential.
You go back and
play even worse and
get beat by twice as much the
next time around.
Next time if Bale performs and
get played often on the wing and Isco underperforms in diamond and
get benched often you are going to write an article on how Zidane is to blame for not using Isco consistently in his best position.
