Reading the thread on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them chances after chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse for Wenger's ultra careful attitude in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive for us, all speculations.

Elneny was everywhere he was the boss of the midfield he ran after the ball he closed down players very well I do nt know what match you were watching but I suggest you watch it again and keep an eye on elneny and what he is doing debuchy was commanding and even took a yelow for the team have a look at the stats and how many balls we intercepted and how many fowls the game was pure tactics west ham had no chance this is the level of football for me it is top level because you go out there you control the game you boss it you win it for me the team effort was 100 % the work rate was 100 % and if you want to learn football this match is a text book match to observe learn and execute

I agree and it's Hummels, Sneiderlin, and Dybala from your list for me... We need some serious presence in our team mainly in the midfield area because we're either too small or weak minded and that's unacceptable to the fans... Love Özil and what he can do but if we manage to acquire players of presence this summer that can no doubt cover him while he floats and he still goes missing then I'm afraid it will have been a very expensive mistake with him...

I've always thought Elneny a decent squad player, but I must re-evaluate things because this is one of the weakest Arsenal central midfield known from my memory.

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)

Give him some rest for PSG But I think most of the players playing Southampton will play PSG I think we should make good use of our Central Midfielders for both matches because we have plenty of quality players: Ozil, Cazorla, Xhaka, Coquelin and Eleney We have only 3 CBs available at the moment Koscielny, Mustafi and Holding

Chelsea is champion but the will buy De Griezman from Atletico de Madrid they have the best defence in the league, the best Midfield in the league with De Griezman, hazard and Costa they will be came invecibles that what Mourinho want to take from Wenger and do not forget that Wenger will never beat Mourinho, we just need 3 world class players just like Henry said, But Wenger have no ambitions to win the league, next year will be the same excuses why we fail again, Mourinho sold Mata even so he was voted the best Chelsea player the previous two years, and Wenger want to keep ineffective players like Walcott, Wiltshere, Diaby, Flamini, Ryo.Sanogo.Welbeck, sad but that is our fate with Wenger only problem for us the risk of loosing player like Alexis will be great if we do not win next year, we must to buy like Henry said, like Carzola is saying, we lost so many good players because they want to win and they are winning with others clubs.why we do not give ouself a chance of winning the EPL?

It could be because he keeps getting shifted back out to midfield, he's not a natural striker so I don't think it helps changing a players duties from one game to the next, we seen what it done with Calum after a confident start.

i agree we also need to get rid of Arteta, Diaby, Podolski and Campbell probably.This story worries me because the squad is overloaded with midfielders, yet we still need a top DM, the guys i've mentioned in midfield clearly don't come up to scratch imo.Another worrying developement is Wenger talking up Theo playing thru the middle, i sincerely hope this isn't another attempt at trying to get out of buying a top CF, Theo's a useful player but hes not a real CF

Goetze would be us overloading a midfield with similar players and becoming predictable because of it.

Wengers should have just added a very good DM and another quicker defender to treat those kind of problems but eish he is too stubborn to drop his new captain or Flamini and he had to change the formation to make sure the midfield players defend and attack in numbers with one DM to always protect the defense but this is not happening and Wenger will not change that until maybe 2 or 3 years because he is not under any pressure to do well after all!

In 2013/14 — when Aaron got fatigued / injured around December we started to drop as a team because he was so pivotal in that midfield, his backup being Arteta (a decent player who gets his fair share of flack, but is not top tier if we're being honest) wasn't able to step up to the plate and deliver both performance wise and in the goals department.

The players like him because he is a very unselfish player and has great eyes to see chances, but he can not help Arsenal dominate the midfield area.

I hope you realize the reason he's injured is because players tackle him probably more than any other Arsenal midfielder.

We have Debuchy, Sanchez, Ramsey, Wilshere, Campbell, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Walcott, Welbeck... All these players have pace and work rate, as well as technical skill, but we can't tell them to press high when they lose the ball or to bring chaos to the opponent's defence because not only do we lack cover in midfield and central defense, we also play them out of position.

Ordinary players like Mark Allbrigthon and some the others at Leicester will run all day stifling our so called creative midfield because they know we aren't going to make one or more direct 40 yard passes to our so called strikers nullifying the Leicester midfield but, make 79 two yard passes to gain 5 yards of tight space on the sidelines.

Our 3 back is just so wrong.We don't have natural wingbacks even in this formation.It also seems to me that lots of people here believe if you're good at right or left fullback then automatically you're good at RWB / LWB which quite frankly is untrue.That's why Oxlade Chamberlain can be considered at RWB but not right back.At RWB or LWB you're asking too much in terms of attack from Bellerin and Kolasinac.A proper wing back can be viewed as a more defensive winger which quite frankly none of them are and they don't possess the flexibility too to play that way.Our midfielders are also not disciplined enough because in 3 back there's a huge gap in the centre of the field that must be covered by our CM's so indiscipline only means disaster.We also have Ozil who looks like he's playing at RW in 3 back.In that we're limiting his impact because Ozil takes on his man because he wants to not because he likes to.You can't play such players at the wing.He's a proper No. 10 who likes to be given freedom.That's why Ozil plays likes he's lazy on the ball and stuff.It's because he wants to be free and for that you need to put him at No. 10.

If you're not going to invest in a legitimate DM who can actually play at this level, then you might as well play nobody and just roll with your best 3 attacking midfielders, because playing a player who clearly isn't good enough anymore hurts the team more than having no DM would.

I always had doubts ever since when we signed him from Real Madrid because I've watched his games before and I remember thinking he's not the type to dominate the midfield and we alsoalhave do not have the type of players for him to thread passes through such as Ronaldo, Bale or Benzema.

Cazorla is an amazing player and owns central midfield when he plays Even if Cazorla plays half the season or one third of the season, he is still worth having because of his quality.

He doesn't have the width of the pitch to cover, he doesn't have to track back every time (because we play a loaded midfield) and he doesn't often get beaten by players and need to chase them.

When you read the title, the name Moussa Dembele may pop up in your mind as the midfielder from down the road at White Hart Lane, however fear not Gooners because thankfully he isn't the player in question here.

I understand the logic behind your thinking and I agree, this could be lethal, but it then means wilshere ramsey flamini and arteta are bench players or have to be sold because none of them can operate as the sole midfielder in front of our back four, arteta is probably the most well rounded for this but against better opposition I don't think he has the physique or pace to really command that area, he has the intelligence to read the game but without the other attributes he can only do so much.
