Well written, but I think it will fall on deaf ears, my fear is as follows, it will take a loss in money for the manager and board to change, this will only come if we finish out of the top 4, but knowing the board they would still give home a season to try again, I feel very sorry for Sanchez, he is total quality and deserves better, most of the other players look settled, turn up give70 % and get paid, no matter what level you play at you should come off the pitch thinking I gave everything, how many of our players could say that, they lack motivation, player for player we are as good if not better than athletico Madrid but they have a manger that gets 100 % out of every player, Klopp is the same, but why would they leave their clubs to come here with a boar that cares about money not entertainment, Wenger was a lucky manager he inherited a top defence now his luck has run out

I am pissed today hearing about Olivier Giroud three year contract and salary he is earning.That is unfair because Giroud does not deserve it.He has not worked to show that he deserves it.We should look at the quality snd output of our players before paying them.Well its too late now so we should look forward.We do nt need stats to even tell us that Girouf is usually average for arsenal than good at most times.I would have sold him if i was Wenger because he does not deserve to be leading the line still after 3 years and i doubt he will like to warm the bench.He is very lucky to have Wenger as a coach of arsenal london fc.Arsenal has not moved forward because we think getting rid of players is a bad thing.We always hesitate when it comes to selling players we do nt need.Arsenal need a world class cf not a world class cf.Its is time to move forward by addressing our mistakes.Since Van persie left we have needed a cf and ifBenzema is available we need to get rid of who we do nt need so that we move forward.Arsenal do not need Giroud though many may be against my speech.Once the premier league starts and Giroud is our main cf it shows that Wenger has not learnt from his mistakes.Just as we got Cech who to me was a need he needs to just find as a reliable and clinical cf.

I think i did nt see the same match than monreal and mr wenger... we were extremly awefull in the first half, manu would score 3 with shrek... then we draw the game with a deflected shot and the only other clear shot was one of giroud (i did nt blame him because his control from a bad ozils pass was very good)... for me we werent even near to win the game and we were lucky to get a draw... very much to improve, we get our 3 spot, but the fact that wenger did nt even recognise our bad game worrie me

For Arsenal the part we always ignore is what always costs us and it won't shock me if it happens again.The fact that Sanchez and even Walcott have been chosen over him in CF tells me a lot about his quality.However, the thing is that both these players don't have striker instincts.They did well but to me they never really played like actual strikers and both had many limitations.Honestly, speaking as a striker he's better than both in terms of positioning and others but he lacks quality in finishing and cutting edge.He's very lucky to be in Arsenal.
