Mert must not
go up the
park to semi attack — he has the pace
of an overage snail and never gets back in time — leave him on the edge
of the 18 yard box — no further — he is for ever needing Kos to bail him
out — many
of our opposing players leave him for dead.
He will
go out and buy yet again some midfield player who's natural tendency is to want to play in the middle
of the
park (Ramsey, Wilshire, Santi, Ozil, Rosicky, Arteta) and try to convert him into something else just to fit him into his starting 11 resulting into a team
of players capable
of passing the ball but incapable
of being dangerous.
Arsene Wenger has seen Francis Coquelin

of quality in the middle
of the
park because our much loved almighty Lord Santi as i love calling him is without doubt

of, so what i think we need is quality to pair with either Xhaka / Coquelin in a young and talented midfieder called Alexandre Golovin (the CSKA MOSCOW and RUSSIAN INTERNATIONAL) as i think he is worthy to put on the Arsenal jersey.

Football like life is uncertain... What is certain however is that following the same failed strategy year after year and expecting a different result is a sign
of ineptitude if not madness... Our best 11 ain't up to it largely because it doesn't threaten and unthreatened teams also mean there is more pressure on our defence as well... So a bit
of tinkering in the middle
of park ain't
going to deliver titles that is for sure... Draxler plus a mobile striker is needed... So unless the idiote grenouille is willing to shelve
out 80m can kiss titles goodbye now... He can recover 30 - 40m with obvious sales
of mediocre attacking options so not too onerous but at this rate it's déjà vu all over again

people are pointing
out that is Kroenke's fault but the reality is Koroenke did not buy yaya Sanogo, Kallstrom,
Park Yung and last year Takuma Assano (loaned to germany) to mention few
of the average players got in transfers.Kroenke gave 100 million last summer so why not
going for Abumayang at that time for 60 - 70 millions or Lacaztte (40 — 50 reports in Spain indicate he's
going to Atletico) and another 30 - 40 millions for DM (we got Xhaka but i believe next season the guy will be much better) so the lack
of reinforcing the Key positions needed is his fault.
It's draining we lost to spurs but more over than anything the way we lost was embarrasseing and shocking we were played off
park most game that has concern us as fans spurs bullied us
out played us hungry in every department it's has fall with wenger when is time when he just accepts game has passed him matter
of fact it has passed us arsenal fans aswell no control in middle very poor from xhaka and elneny and again dembele bought mortgage in midfield he's the owner my god vieria would
of knocked he's house down but look we're very poor and away from home sad really how wenger keeps he's job is just pure stupidity but not just with today's results over all away from home we're relegation side

Park.
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...

True, not a lot has happened among our immediate competition... ManU have made just one modest buy, but arguably don't need a lot having lost only one key player (Scholes), plus we know they can afford whoever they want and the talk is at the level
of Ronaldo, Lemonsquashki, Fibreglass etc etc... Tottenham are hamstrung by the Bale leaving threat, but if he does eventually
go I believe it will only make them stronger (Spuds a one - man team with Bale, but strengthened all over the
park with 80 - 100mil to spend)... ManC have spent close to 60mil on two players, (thank Dennis they missed
out on Falcao and others, but they're not finished yet and still looking at the very top level... Pool have snapped up Mignolet and some useful cheapies (Kolo for free, eg) and finally sold Carroll for a decent amount, so can do more business... and Chelsea can pick up pretty much who they want when they want, so will surely be in there soon.
With Scholes
