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...

Totally see where your coming from Jon.I believe he has become frustrated at Dortmund as they have not progressed as a club over the past 4 - 5 years and he has previously touted himself for a move to Madrid that never materialised.This is his chance to play for the biggest club he is now ever likely to play for so you would trust he recognises this and proves he is the talent his build up portrays.The EPL is a much tougher and more competitive league than he has ever played in before so he has a lot to prove both to us and to himself.He appears a confident player so let's hope the hype is worth it

Our player of the season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice of big clubs to choose from if allowed to be able to go on a free.How about giving out a statement of our ambitions (yeah right) and show were prepared to pay whatever it takes (up to the point of being ridiculous) to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early to send out a message of how serious we intend to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the right money to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is there to question over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid of him to Dortmund if they want him either by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end of the season.He was a back up when Sanchez was here and will be on the mix of back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad to fight for just to be considered so needs to be playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through games and we do not have consistent performers to come in if he is injured or rested mainly due to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through as much as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive of the youngsters as they have come through but question marks to the whole coaching staff as to why these two seem to have stalled as much as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be ashamed.

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

Spend as much maybe not but spend we should to a certain extent the way we did the last 2 windows and we shouldn't wait till we ship all the players we don't need and get close to deadline day to make business where there will be either short supply of the quality of players we require or reluctance from clubs to let go there big / marquee player without a replacement for it when the season is so close!

Whatever it takes could mean a lot more than we previously thought, though, as the Daily Mail is reporting that Premier League rules on wages and the limit of how much they can rise from one season to the next will almost certainly force Arsene Wenger to sell at least two of the club's other big earners in order to offer Alexis and Ozil the wages they want.

as much as it pains me to say it, he does not have what it takes OR is basically scared and very lazy I mean its rediculous the club has an ethos of not spending big money on players that would make a difference but spend in excess of 360,000 per annum on a player that does NOTHING.

it truly has been the summer of twitter agents and mostly itk's this window that plus our tension at being strung along by wenger does nt help our nerves much lol, but makes our fanbase and club a massive target from such people whether they are arsenal supporters or not, but it will soon be over so i think that they will all start to wind down this week, as the days go by then one last big explosion on the last day then die of the for winter till jan. take a bow the following people whether itk or twitter agents muzzi ozcan (with his «transfer of the season» quote priceless memz dogi (following along behind muzzi when muzzi died of a bit he picks the a baton it seems.

When the old guard led by David Dein sold us the vision, we trusted them to make it happen, we voted with our wallets, Kroenke came in and stole, and is still stealing that dream from us with Wenger as a convenient scape goat while our commonwealth is being raided, the sad part is that the situation has seen the spuds steal the template of that dream, and so far so good for them, a bigger club would have implemented it faster though but still, they are on course and at this rate, while we watch after our coffers, a small pub team like the spuds will overtake us, for the first time in the Premier League era, they finished above us, a situation not conceivable previously, shows how much the institution Arsenal has deteriorated in recent times.

Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead of the heart for now

The biggest problem has been wenger for long time now «project» run Arsenal football club as an academy and try to prove to everyone else he is the one who knows better and try to bring in kids who have potential but not ready for 1st team resisting spending money to improve squad depth and cling in on average players: Iwobi, welbeck, theo, chambers, holding and player other players on wrong position Monreal and not give opportunity to good footballer Perez and Campell also you have been holding too much power from transfer, players contracts, arsenal finances as a whole and now all that BS start to backfire

for most of the period in which detroit was declining the big 3 were making big profits (of course they had to be bailed out in 09 but that was because they had become banks as much as car producers but thazts a detail)... so content «board» declining «club» seems to describe detroit pretty well to me

The big English clubs have had their reputation built over the course of a decade, having Guardiola for 3 years won't change much in terms of City's status as a top club.

The France pair of Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny are well aware of just how much damage their club colleague Mesut Ozil could do the host nation's chances of getting to the final and lifting the trophy, especially the big centre forward as he is the player that is usually the main recipient of Ozil's final killer pass or piece of creative magic.

Some people are comparing morata to giroud, first he's much more younger at 23 years, secondly he hasn't really played as d main striker with all the backings giroud has enjoyed, he's a potential at his age and has played in two of d best leagues With clubs like JUVE and Madrid, he's a big game player, he's fast and skillful.

arsenal as a big and rich club they didn't spent so much money to buy best players in the past years like the other big clubs so this time it is a must that arsenal buys best defender, midfielder and striker and as well keep Sanchez valuing the service that he will be giving next season mote than # 50 m which will also protect him not to play against arsenal at least for the coming season, and who knows after wards..

But do big clubs let their best player head off to their rivals for free without so much as a penny.

What if he had become much improved player this season, big clubs would have lined up for him and his evaluation would have reached 50 million plus and if madrid or barca would have wanted him there was no chance of man utd getting him.Yes he could fail but still he would have resale value as he is young.They could always sell him.And man utd aren't stupid to buy him for that much unless he is that good.

It has been strange that there has not been much talk of the matter from the players themselves, as surely they should also be taking a big share of the responsibilty for the clubs downward spiral as well as Wenger, but now at last Olivier Giroud has publicly announced his support for Wenger, and it sounds like he is talking for his team - mates as well.

i much as i love to see Jack start every game but being realistic i think Jack should settle for a part bench part start job at a big club then a regular play at a smaller club because of his injuries woes,

Letting them go will threaten our stature as a big club, as much as I hate to say it but we are not Man Utd, they can sell their Ronaldo and still maintain the stature because of how successful they are.

It will be too late to buy quality in the late part of the transfer window, As no club will want to sell their best player's, as they won't have much time to find a replacement, no matter how big the offeAs no club will want to sell their best player's, as they won't have much time to find a replacement, no matter how big the offeas they won't have much time to find a replacement, no matter how big the offer.

That is stay with Wenger and follow his new vision of getting player directly via high salaries (with actual shift in resources out of clubs) to the current model that favors the biggest clubs with massive transfer costs between clubs, and where the player does no benefit as much.

I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get back to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision
