To put it into perspective we have Sanchez and Ozil as our best players, but Barca, Real and Bayern have 11 or
more players of their quality... so is it a surprise we are are getting our Ars kicked in the Pl by the likes of Leicester and Spud?

quality» in the transfer market.

player, you should watch
more of his games.
you cant tell me he sees
more than everyone that said arsenal are just two
players away from winning titles, even the best teams
of this world do add
qualities to their already star studded squads, so why wenger is making arsenal case different?
Alexis Sanchez need to go to club with a
more ambition unlike arsenal, cos he is a winner and he needs to win
more trophy, he scored 30 goals last season yet arsenal couldn't make top 4, that's to tell u a tree can't make up a forest but till now what has Wenger done to improve the squad to convince Sanchez to stay?nothing, and u expect him to stay with those
players who don't have winning mentality and a coach that lacks ambition, Sanchez don't need money what he need is
quality players...... my gunners fans all over the world let's be truthful to ourselves, how many
of us will still remain in arsenal fc if we were Sanchez, with arsenal transfer activities so far in mind?
But adding 1 or 2
more quality players will rise our chances
of winning it.
If we start this season with those two in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one
of these
players should still be with our club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number
of years... this is what I call the «no man's land»
of the soccer world, where teams don't have enough talented young
players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little
more than a stagnant group
of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead
of developing a team with the
qualities necessary to excel in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless
of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard
of a team who plays
players out
of position so often...
of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team
of any consequence ever again
Previously they just signed Lacazette and Kolasinac, even tough the team needs
more high
quality additions, because they could not get rid
of the fringe
players quicker.
There was no problem with Holding starting.The problem was with Monreal starting.If people are saying Monreal starts over Holding this means a LB is better than a CB at LCB which is
more of a disgrace to the CB.Monreal is good but he does not have the
qualities of a CB to play there for long.He's not your stand out tackler, interceptor or ball winner.He doesn't have the height or even the strength.He's just a solid 1v1
player but being a great CB is not all about 1v1.
Am willing to chip in a tenner for a teach yourself Cantonese course for the whippet... they would cough up north
of 20m for him but about the only ones... If we bring in a top
quality wide right attacking
player then I will be
more than happy... Though I would still feel easier with a solid centre back addition
more to the point for an Economics graduate, who doesn't understand inflation moaning about the fact the the price
of players has gone up considering annual revenues
of the premier league teams have shot up too is incredibly stupid... But hey Wenger knows best; he wouldn't be in a position not having to spend over the odds for
quality players if he acted in the first place, that's the icing on the retard cake there for me..
Wenger knows the
quality of his
players and certainly will not learn anything
more in preseason games like Lens which was less intense than an over 60's Sunday morning kick about.
Top class
players earning only a little
more than rubbish / average
players make no sense in terms
of: struggling to sell rubbish / average
players because no one will match their ridiculous wages, contract renewals (as we're seeing with the likes Sanchez and Ozil, not to mention other top
players who have left in the past), and in terms
of attracting top
quality players.
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring
players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive
qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead
of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes
of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even
more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the
players around him and we all know who is in charge
of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
I am confident that we have
more than enough
quality to deal with Sunderland again, and hopefully get far enough in front to give a few

Obviously I'm happy with the FA Cup, but Arsenal can do
more, and with the high ticket prices, high wages, and even

players on the opposite side

of our defence by coming out bt failed on second goal no - one would expect that 3 defenders would stand and watch a

more of our defence fault rather than his..
LPool has
more of a worry with what to do with the many
players they signed last season who are not bad but they have not lived up to 1st team
quality billing.
It's a team which is massively short on
quality so it will be all down to work rate and hoping some
of their
players don't show up... Iwobi out is good Ramsey in brings in a bit
more energy but no ability to dominate middle
of park which is where we we will struggle... Chambers xhaka bellerin and mustafi will need to play out
of their skins which has hardly been the case all season and kos will need to show leadership skills but if wilshere ozil and aubemayang click there could at least be a forward threat... An honest assessment 3 1» to them
He has suffered
more than his fair share
of injuries, and I suppose that is still an unknown for the future, but he is a
quality player and will boost Arsenal's chances
of winning competition.
Few days left in the transfer market, time to bring
more players... Because some
of them are just not Arsenal / top
quality...!
the problem is the complacency that has gotten hold
of Wenger's brain due to lack
of pressure from the top has infected the whole club... Wenger knows his job is as safe and forth knoxx so LOSING IS AN OPTION in the scheme
of things, there is always another game to make things right, always another season to try again and this, whether consciously or otherwise is a malaise that has infected the
player» a pysche... I have said this so many times, Fergie won the league with a squad that less than half the
quality our present squad possess and in a tougher
more competitive seaaon
Darron Gibson, like John O'Shea, is said to be a
player Steve Bruce wants to bring to Sunderland to give his Stadium

im very happy for the two new addition to our Squad but to only make top four if we keep Sanchez we still need two
more quality players we can't be doing the same thing over on over again always short

quality players the other top teams are better than us already and they are making 3 to 4 top
quality signings so where those that leaves us on less we have some Magic spell or magic potion we still need two
more quality players Riyad mahrez.
The
quality of players and football that he's
more akin to is not in the EP.
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 combative Frenchman also declared that the arrival
of more quality players has really increased the confidence in our ability to challenge for major honours again this season and that is what it is all about after all.
How much
more the report does not say, but at least it suggests that Wenger has realised that Arsenal can not expect to get the sort
of quality players that we need if he does not meet the sort
of prices we have seen all summer.
I think only barca real or Bayern can tempt those
players away from leicester, they would give at least a year to the club, but season after that they will move onto other club depending on their form next season.As for arsenal transfer i wouldn't want to listen to rumours as most
of the times these rumours are just utter garbage.i want a certain rumour about Wolfsburg signing giroud to be true.Anyways if our idiotic manager has some sense left in him after an embarrassing season he should get a premium striker which the club needed for past 4 years.He need to put his ego aside and his old philosophy
of waiting for
players to develop.We need already established
players in every department
of our team.Penny pinching has cost us just pay the damn money get the
players.I get the feeling next season is going to be harder and we have less chance
of winning cause man city have had 2 seasons without premier league and guardiola is gonna bring
more quality and hunger to that team.
But if I admit that he's
more of a luxury type
player, and needs to be surrounded by other
quality players to bring the best out
of him.
So since we are already buying 3
players (Carvalho = 25 mil, Gaspar = 10 mil, Lukaku = 40 mil) we are spending a decent amount
of money and we won't shell out
more to get someone
of high
quality on the wings (like Reus).
This would have to be
more of a squad
player, than first 11
quality.
I will admit that I was wrong at the start
of the season in saying we only needed 3 - 4
more quality players to win the league (Kante, Payet, Lukaku and a CB).
Many fans have been split down the middle regarding Lucas Perez's transfer to Arsenal, because although we all wanted to see a new striker this summer, many would've hoped for a
player of more quality than former Deportivo man can offer.
If we had better
players, we would be able to rotate
quality players instead
of Campbell or Arteta, hence we would have
more chance to qualify out
of the group.
The sad truth is that we are just a couple
of players away from having a very strong starting 11... Wenger's fixation with Walcott and mertesakher as starting
players remains a mystery to me... neither have the
quality of a top team like arsenal... I am not a giroud hater but he is still too inconsistent and the big question is whether welbeck can push him in a way Walcott won't... Campbell has done well and has moved ahead
of Walcott and, ox for sure but there is still a question about how much
more he can improve... Elneny is certainly an upgrade over arteta and flamini whether he will make it I don't know just hope that he does but arguably wenger could have been
more ambitious... That leaves a top
quality striking option... There is no doubt that wenger deluded himself over the summer and that needs to be corrected ASAP... Draxler dybala aube and even griezman with a big enough big could have been prized in summer... january not a good time for this but it is not difficult to find better options than Walcott ox or Campbell... All a question
of whether wenger wants to win EPL on his terms or wants to win this for the club
He has
quality, still has plenty
of space to grow as a
player and now in a
more balanced team will hopefully not be rushed back in and get injured again.
I do wish I seen
more of him live on the internet, he does look like a
quality player doesn't he ^.
With just one week to get something over the line, I would suggest we may have run out
of targets, I believe AW is now waiting for one
of the big boys (Real, Barca or Bayern) to go splash the cash on a new star so Wenger can pick up their surplus, It worked well with Ozil and Sanchez, but we aren't the only side looking to buy
more players, we are not the only side who need an injection
of quality.
i have stop thinking about who will be selected as the new forward or CB, i am
more pissed off on some
players who have took arsenal for granted, a manager who had put too much fate in them over the last years, a manager who have left the team short
of quality in certain areas, in the hope that his prodigies will fill in nicely, which on the contrary does not happen and leave us wanting in the last months
of the season.
For 25 mil Arsenal could get a top
quality CB who would help the team much
more than Walcott who has never really emerged as a top
player and will likely sit much
of the season on the bench
Arsenal have spent big on
more high - profile
players in recent years, and # 28.4 m will surely not seem too much for the Gunners to spend on a midfielder
of this proven
quality.
It felt as though we had blown it and that the nerves and the pressure
of ending that horrible wait for a trophy had gotten to the
players, but as we know the lads did us proud; fighting hard and finally showing the class we knew they were capable
of and the mental strength and fighting
qualities that had been called into question
more than once.
For a
player of his
quality, he would hope to be
more heavily involved, especially in a World Cup year as he'll have aspirations
of being involved for France in Russia.
United appear to be on a real drive to raise the levels
of quality within their academy, with the report also suggesting that two Belgian teenagers could be heading to United, with the Red Devils perhaps responding to the fact that City have recently opened the # 200 million Etihad Campus in a bid to produce
more young
players for the first team.
