However,
if none of these clubs can offer him first team football — which is never a guarantee with young goalkeepers, especially English ones — then he might be better off giving Sunderland at least another season as they attempt to bounce back up.
Not exact matches
there would've been animosity
if he moved to another turkish
club or
if he left by bosman ruling or
if he created unrest asking for being sold but
none of those happened.
There are several
clubs around Europe who may be interested in him, and
if he is being let go for the reported # 7 million then
none of them will be priced out
of him.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch
of tweeners...
none offer the full package,
none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all
of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because
of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention
of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury,
if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on
club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any
of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure
of this
club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez
of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)
The arrivals
of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil for fees in excess
of # 35 Million each, shows the
club are now willing to spend
if the right player becomes available, and as
of yet,
none of them have shown an inkling to leave.
None of us know what kind
of demons lurk in Wenger's mind, i say that Because at the moment it seems as
if he is doing more harm than good to the
club.
If she is
none of those places, she might be on the practice tee at the Doublegate Country
Club.
I believe he fully understands that Arsenal is not a title - oriented football
club and when he has his talk with Arsene after the end
of the season, it will be a RVP situation all over again, he'll be offered a bigger wage, but won't be promised the title ambition, because there's
none and he'll bugger off to whoever offers more, even
if it's spuds.
Do not be surprised
if we do not finish 4th, this yr
none of the Big
clubs are aweful, opposite
of last year...
if you watch arsenal place I see so much space and no runs no runs at all only when in the box
if you watch Leicester they are always makeing runs all over the place that's how you score goals against a team like Southampton they controlled the game it was not unlucky just like chelsea can do control the game and won arsenal players don't believe they can win the title the players in that team play without heart you know why because Im sure wenger tells them becareful we don't need anymore Injurys what kind
of mentality is that also I will pick out Ramsey he is playing like a player who is leaveing the
club he and flamini just don't work Ramsey is not playing good at all wenger can blame make excuses but truth is he is the manager he make the tactics and he gets it wrong all the time giroud has no pace
none bench him against some teams and play pure pace make runs ox Walcott but they don't Walcott has lost it his pace has gone its clear or he fears I jury how
if a player is fit put your all in forget injury
if you get Injured then so be it but
if your fit and your Walcott run put yourself about wenger should leave because he.
I like to think that
none of our key players would even second think a switch to White Hart Lane (or their new unnamed stadium), but it would be a huge reality check
if someone like Ramsey did force a move to their
club.
Yea he could leave and Pep come but trust me it'll never be the same without him, and I am sure no one can replace him without it affecting us,
If not Pep, I do nt want Ancelotti or any
of those hypocrites out there, you see them question Wenger's trophy achievement but yet
none of them could have achieved what he has in this
club.
i know there is not much to write about but people try to find some kind
of» story» when there is
none, national managers don, t think about the players
clubs they, ll play their best players
if they are available not worrying
if they have a game soon afterwards they already don, t have enough time with their players so have to make most
of it, i believe wenger is managing giroud, getting him fit, fresh in view
of a long season and is doing it while he has most
of the squad fit im sure we will reap the rewards with giroud not having a spell
of 10 games without scoring.
Anyway it's
none of my business
If they score goals and assists and help us win, they can get paid whatever the manager and
club decide
I only see Hexy signing Flip
if he doesn't think Laughton can play 3C and
none of the kids on the Phantoms are ready to join the big
club on the 4th line.
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...
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former
club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction
of this
club... regardless
of those who still feel that Henry has some sort
of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding
of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense
of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our
club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier
club... regardless
of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this
club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures
of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers
of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization...
if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state
of our squad,
none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one
of the worst
clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one
of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
We Arsenal fans overrate their player's a lot.No wonder when our players leave to another
club eventually their quality always declines even
if they're world class.Take a look at all the top players who have left Arsenal and look at their careers.Things start well and end badly.It is unfair to say Sanchez is irreplaceable because
none of you can know until you give the chance to another player and no one knew he would have this impact.This should tell you that until you try you can't know.I hate it when we allow players to treat us like this.Why not sell him abroad and get a top winger to replace him instead
of allowing him to go for free?How do you know we will or won't win the league with him or
if another top winger comes in.We might really really regret this season
if the future
of some key players are not sorted out.We overrate our players a lot its a joke.
I am starting my boycott by not watching this team or buying any merchandise
if only us fans were more objective and serious about our team it wouldnt be 11 years and counting that we are not even be considered as genuine title contenders even crystal palace and Swansea city seems to be more aggressive and focus than arsenal I hope
none of you all gets a heart attack after the window closes and we make a panic buy and sign Mahrez from Leicester this is such a stupidly run
club
If things were okay at the
club, there'd be
none of this poisonous vitriol that now seems to infest most blogs.
I do thank Mick for doing what
none of our recent managers could... getting us into the Prem and keeping us here... but at the end
of last season I think the writing was on the wall and the
club should've acted then... especially
if the stories
of Mick not being backed in the transfer market are true... its lunacy to have a manager and then not give him the tools to do a job!
I read somewhere that some said we're not clinical enough that is a culture at wenger has become too friendly with the players at Arsenal the players position are seldom under treat you play poorly for two weeks and you still make the team you missed a look at almunia retrospectively don't understand that hey
if i get a chance to score i must take it the first time cause i may not get a next one and you want the players to be clinical it must start from the top good work or
none As was said on a website to day Arsenal should parade through the streets
of london in an open top Bus at the end
of the season the accountants
of the
club and i will through wenger in there too cause to most
of you he can do no wrong I love this
club with all my heart and i can support no other
club in football but to see for 5 seasons we can't show any vast improvement and keep making the same mistakes every year is hard to swallow it makes me sick but as wenger says judge me at the end i wonder what end he meant the end
of the season or the end
of his contract GO ARSENAL......................
What you are doing, is looking at two
clubs, based in two different leagues, with different teams, different finances, different fanbases, belonging to different eras, and finding a grand total
of ONE common factor between them, ie Arsene Wenger, have set out to look for patterns where
none exist, at least in terms
of the data, or facts
if you prefer, that you provide.
@ larryking listen jock wenger could never coach anyother
club because no big
club would go six season without a trophy there is no way wenger could go to madrid and go two season without a trophy no way in hell he would be fired in no time bmunich fired klinsman less than half season look at the real madrid coach grave yard pelligrinie made 95 + points last season that amount would win the league in almost any country yet he got fired i can go on
if fergi goes two seasons without a trophy am sure he gone i love arsenal but football is about winning trophies wenger has hypnotize you i do nt care arsenal have gone five years without a trophy and six witout the league not even a carling cup or fa cup and loosing all our best players all for money all this talk about wenger and his youth policies i can count on both hands all the players that came through arsenal youth system that went on to be world beaters look at the current crop walcott nasri diaby denilson bedtner clichy
none of these are world class they have improve minimal @ arsenal compare that to barca their youths pedro and co are world beaters event the great vanpercy who we rate he would never leave arsenal because all that chance wenger gives him he would» t get at other big
clubs this does not make sense we buy young players they take ages to develop most do nt» t then we sell them or they leave because they want to win things that how you grow pretty soon that top four will become very hard to stay in
if we get out
of that then what i wish all you wenger fans luck am all out
of patients with him last chance this year................
I've never seen anything like it, all the gorgeous women
of a popular
club, but
none of the noise and with my Key, I was able to approach like 150 different women to see
if I unlocked.
If none is available that means the head
of the Sierra
Club said something patently untrue on national television.
The problem is that
none of the community book
clubs have an interest in reading play therapy books and even
if they did, well... it's just not the same as being around a group
of mental health people that truly love play therapy.
