I'd like to see them all stay, Wenger go and see how they get on, in my mind we'd see an improvement simply because they might be played
in their best positions rather than shoe horning in like Wenger seems to do, Ramsey on the left for example.

One Campbell isn't really your typical wide man to stay out wide Two Wenger doesn't really intend to play real wide men but
rather people who can help to provide an overload

positions so it could
well be your opinion that we need a typical wide player but you should also observe that not even the invincibles enjoyed that privilege
I disagree.A wingback can be viewed as a defensive winger.Whether the Ox likes it or not he's been blessed with the qualities of a winger.To me that's his
best position.He's only doing
well as a wingback because of his attacking abilities.As I said earlier a wingback can be viewed as a sort of defensive winger.That's why CB's who are used as RB or LB can not play wingback.Wingback needs the player to be able to adapt himself like a winger while also being solid defensively.Ox has the attacking part but not the defensive part.With Bellerin we have the
best of both worlds.He can attack, defend and also has the speed necessary to play wingback.I fear Ox being played at wingback will cost us when we play teams with tricky wingers.He should
rather be challenging Sanchez or Ozil for their
positions and not wingback.The guy hates to always have to defend which
in truth he can't.

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'

Also I was thinking
rather than wondering which one player is gonna come
in to try and fill Coqs boots
well why don't we just double up
in that
position making it one of our strongest areas
rather than seeing if we can scrape by.
Campbell had done
well for the Gunners
in the previous campaign, managing to grab important goals and assists along the way, but despite his
best efforts, Campbell was still restricted to a squad player
position rather than being a first teamer.
I would prefer to sign him permanently
in the summer
rather than on loan
in the winter.He is a great talent and could really shine
in the epl with us.Yeah he is not the kind of superstar that ozil was when we signed him but that does not mean that he is not a top quality player.He could really be a
good fit into our team.But I can guarantee you that signing draxler alone next summer will not bring us the epl title.The squad needs strengthening
in at least 2 - 3
positions to win the title
in what could actually be wenger's farewell season.Going back to draxler though, without a doubt he will only make the squad stronger but I just hope that he is one of the many players heading towards the emirates next season to help us win the title, regardless of where MESU - LEXIS are cum next august....
Until we change our game style, formation, players that are not
good enough, spending policy so that we buy
in all the
positions we need, not just one, buy players with characters, driven by success with lots of titles behind them, change our ambition to titles, not fourth, reduce immense ticket prices, stop being a business
rather than a football club, introduce younger members to the board or unbelievably somehow change the manager, I will not be convinced.
Unfortunately none of us are really
in a
position to rectify any of these issues and change it for the
better at Arsenal; the majority of us are only able to show our continued support for the club,
rather than Wenger and co,
in hope that some change will arrive
in the summer.
Rather than go
position by
position in a post, I'll side with Patricia that our roster is
better than 9 - 7.
Wilshere has a chance as
well, although by Southgate's own criteria he not only needs to be playing for Arsenal, but playing
in the
position Southgate wants to play him:
in the deep midfield,
rather than the forward role Arsene Wenger has mostly set aside for him this season
in the cup competitions.
That being said the sooner we're
in a
position where he's an «option»
rather than our
best ST the
better.
Our progress has been
rather slow
in getting into
position to win the league, my 2 pet peeve with Wenger is his favoritism
in playing some players (his british core) even when there are
better alternatives there
in the squad and the second one is our preparation for the second part of the season, I would love to see him try something different buy two positive signings
in january to freshen the squad for the run
in to MAy.
and
in my opinion im not fussed khedira isnt coming if the rumours are tru i would
rather gustavo a much
better option at cdm and more disciplined
in the
position then its just a a striker wich we may be able to get away with if reus is signed walcott fit rw, reus lw, alexis
in the middle with those three up front NO defence
in EPL will be able to keep up we exploit teams defences like never before.......
1) Being
in and out is doesn't help 2) Not being accustomed to speaking english as
well... even when you want to say something to your teammate (
positioning) unless he speaks spanish / portuguese it becomes
rather complicated 3) Indeed he has been scary at times this season but he
better turn a corner...
naa... i'd
rather campbell play the 90 because this is his chance to stake a (legitimate) claim on his
position in the team, and it couldnt have come at a
better time and opposition
I would assume that, if the answer to the title is the France international star Olivier Giroud, then Arsenal fans will still get to see our flying England forward Theo Walcott as
well, probably right from the kick off, but he would be playing
in one of the wide forward
positions rather than the centre forward role he took up against Chelsea at Wembley last weekend.
Would you
rather be
in Arsenal's
position of having a very
good squad and # 170m
in the bank to spend
in January and next summer to strengthen our last couple of areas, or Man United's
position of having blown # 150m on players they didn't really need and still not having a defence or a midfield?
As it stands, this squad is fairly
well positioned to compete for the Wenger Cup and make a deep run
in the Europa, if and only if we play first stringers
in Europe and use the bench for the League and FA Cups... that being said, and based on the fragility of the manager and the team
in recent campaigns, it's more likely that Wenger will focus on a top 4 finish and the FA Cup... while the reasons for such an approach may appear logical, it would confirm a
rather disturbing trend and appear counter intuitive for any team which claims to have higher aspirations... I feel that Wenger simply can't afford to put all his eggs
in the Europa basket because if he fails the potential backlash could cripple any top 4 chances due to the aforementioned fragile psyche that tends to rear it's ugly head like our own personal groundhog day each and every February... furthermore, can you even imagine Wenger bringing
in the necessary recruits to adequately supply top quality lineups
in a Thursday / Sunday dominated schedule; based on everything I've seen
in recent years, I can't see that happening...
in fact, mark my words, it's more likely that we see Lacazette playing out wide
in Alexis's
position with Giroud at striker, than we see Wenger make the necessary moves to right this ship... god, I hope I'm wrong but is it really that far - fetched considering what we've witnessed for past several years
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...
We might still even make the top 4 with that squad, could certainly be top 8 if we play
well and have some reasonable strategies
rather than AW's recent craziness
in team selection /
positions, (maybe even especially if we don't have CL or even any European football the following season), have an effective transfer season next summer, and make a serious badass run at the title for the next few years from 2018 - 19 plus.
Actually Elneny made a career mistake rejecting Leicester who would've made him a regular and this is when he will evolve as a player
rather than playing scared like he is now too worried where he'll be next week on the other hand Shakespeare of Leicester knows too
well that Elneny can grow to a serious beast
in this
position that's why he went for him and believe will try again
in Winter
Marcus Davenport showed up at the University of Texas at San Antonio — which played its first game
in 2011 — weighing less than 200 pounds, having switched
positions late
in high school and viewing football as a means to a
good education
rather than a potential lifelong pursuit.
I have said Ox had a
better chance to play his desired
position at arsenal than any team
in the top six, his skill set fits a wide player, his notion of being like his idol Steven Gerard is
rather non-sensical and leaving the pampered world of arsenal, shall only widen his eyes to the reality of cut - throat real world.
His chances created per 90 minutes were almost non-existent, he scored just twice, and did most of his
best work
in deeper
positions (where he would inevitably be fouled)
rather than seeking to make the difference
in attack.
Yes, it seemed
rather intuituve that if my needs were met, I'd be
in a
better position to -LSB-...]
