He played for us for years, wasn't getting first team football and left to a great club.
Not exact matches
I have often thought they should put one in the
footballs so that they no longer have to bring out the chains to see if the
teams got the
first down or
not.
The point I was trying to convey is that to me it seems most of our young promising players in recent years don't really
get a chance at Arsenal
first team football or are simply
not good enough.
this kid had it all and could have been truly great but guess what, you can take the kid out of the hood but you can't always take the hood out of the kid, sterling hangs around with a bunch of idiots who think posting their mate online doing laughing gas is clever and there all living in London, bringing him in would be a huge mistake in my opinion and those of you suggesting to offer theo and money, Im so glad you don't run the club, theo is the best r winger in the league when fit, we also have Wellington silva coming back,
not to mention ox to cover or Sanchez if we want to play Danny or mezut on the left, let city have Raheem and let their already volatile dressing room implode, let's
get Cech, lacazette and a solid dm to compete with le coq, sell Chesney to inter for good money podolski could be used as make weight for Morgan or the like release flamini let arteta and Roz have there last season if they choose or let them go if they want more
first team football, Rio to have one more loan Diaby pay as you play and last promote chuba who clearly is going to be an animal, with this I believe the title is ours and if the new 3 settle a real tilt at the cl is possible but please gooners
get behind theo he is absolutely essential COYG

first team football, and you have to feel that if HB stays fit, Debuchy isn't
getting near that
team.
But then again it is only fair that the Colombian moves to
get first team football as he is far too good to be a unplayed backup, whereas Wojciech Szczesny will probably be happy to spend his whole career on the Arsenal bench, so he can sneak into the showers for a fag when Wenger's
not looking!
Whilst Eboue hasn't been

team football, it would be in Arsenal's best interest to keep him around for right now.
For all you know CF may have insisted on guaranteed
first team football and Wenger could simply
not accommodate that, notwithstanding it would be a bit cheeky coming from a player who f**ked off when it suited him,

I'll be the
first to admit counter attacking
football and Arsenal should go together like cookies and cream but ever since the invicibles
teams have refused adamantly to play high defensive lines against us and counters do
not work if the opposition has a defensive 5 or 6 set up near the edge of their box when you finally
get the ball up there.
No matter who we
get, they won't be good enough for long - term
first team football.
but more importantly it should tell you that wenger no longer has a grasp on the strengths and weaknesses of his
team, or, indeed, what kind of
football he is trying to play... heard a lot of people waffling on about the end of tika tak... we never
got there because too many
first team players lack the skills to do that kind of
football... ramsey walcott giroud merteshaker coquelin are
not that kind of player... nor do we rapidly convert defence in to attack as we used to or press
teams in their own half..
Nervous start — usual criticism at the beginning of the season, with the lack of spending Ramsey's
first blood — Arsenal shocked the league, we played brilliant
football, scoring beautiful goals, all seemed like a decent season for us Coq red card — injury crisis struck, the lack of bench depth put pressure on the
team, the downfall of performance caused crucial points Alexis» goal when down to ten men - it all seemed like arsenal would lose out in the title race again but arsenal somehow surprised the league again, saying aye we
got the quality but we just ai
nt gonna show in week in week out Draw in NLD with 10 men — can't really complain about it but you ain't happy.

About Coquelin for whom we desperately needed a back up, lets
not forget that Le Frog send him on loan cuz he thought the position was covered with FLAMINY, now because of the injury crisis he was recalled back to the
first team and saved us from debacle, this is just more evidence that this man is completely out of touch with reality and needs to go, we are the laughingstock
not only of the EPL but from the world of
football...... last time I say it nicely WENGER
get the....
Theo Walcott may have scored 20 goals for Arsenal last season, but in this campaign he can't buy a League game from Arsene Wenger and the rumours are that the 28 year old is desperate to move in January to seek
first team football to try and
get a good enough run to impress the England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the World Cup Finals in Russia this summer.
Joining a club of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured of all players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for other greener pastures.He was a clear talented
footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its
not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to
get used to the rythm of the game.With time you realise he
gets low ib confidence and his engine
gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy
not wenger.You would have been better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very good at
first but wenger found a way to reduce his level of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did
nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him run and run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much better player than this.Theo walcott - Another player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top of that another player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared to during his time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does
not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need
not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many years.That is why each and every player are what they are because of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7 years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge
team while the rest is in your court.It is
not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsibility
Granite Xhaka saved us last night, i'm
not a great fan of Xhaka but i thought the game changed as soon as he come on, on Wilshere i have been his biggest supporter but last night he let me down badly, he made no space for himself he was just out for the fresh air, i thought Sead had a lousy game to even do he scored, it was a sad night for Arsenal supporters and
football to watch that, there were plenty of alarms raised when we played Ostersunds FK in the
first leg in the second half, AW should of known better to prepare his
team and should
get off his ass and shout a bit from the side line like all passionate managers do when they send a message to their players
Arsene Wenger is
not renowned for making many additions to his Arsenal side in the January transfer window, but he may be forced to bring in some new faces if both Olivier Giroud and Mathieu Debuchy
get their wish to depart for
first team football in the New Year.
Secondly Wanyama isn't going to leave Southampton where he's
getting first team football to sit on the bench for us.

You might snicker at his failed
football career or the fact he
got a workout
teams attended in the
first place, but baseball
teams will pay attention to just about anyone built like Tebow who can run a 6.7, so it's
not entirely who he has been that has
got him to where he is now.
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective
teams try desperately to find a way to
get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former
teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best of these players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm
not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship
football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will
not be the
first or the last highly skilled player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
David Moyes has
got the Hammers playing proper
football again so it won't be easy but who cares whether we win or
not as long as our
first team don't play?
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the
first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of
football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led
team barely resembles that
team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't
get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to
get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
Diaby should
not play though — he isn't ready for
first team football and would
get injured.
The guy had a whole season of
first team football but can't
get a look in.
Don't
get me wrong — I like Pod and, at least on his social media postings, he seemed t have a fantastic attitude — but it pains me that in the end he (and the Bendtners and Gervinhos and Arshavins others pointed to) seemed more comfortable carping about why he wasn't playing as a center forward and complaining about his lack of
first -
team football opportunities than he was trying to develop the traits and on - field work habits Wenger demanded of them.
I would be surprised if Welbeck did

The player in question is the young French international Adrien Rabiot who decided to stay and fight for his place in the PSG

football he clearly wants.
not really making the news, the atmosphere on last wednesday was really strange, silent, step by step to normal
football, but you can't throw away your thoughts immediately, I just
got a glimpse of Enkes personality during a film of him shown before the match, I can't realize how hard it must be for his wife to lose him, tomorrow the players of Germans
first Bundesliga will wear a black ribbon again, but I think it won't affect the atmosphere like it has with the national
team despite of Hannover of course, people will be enthousiastic again, but there is the idea of an «Enke donation» which I like, will keep his name alive, will take some positive emotions on this tragedy and a kind of appeal for everyone to reflect the important things of life and control your own behaviour, I hope so at least, and I hope his wife will cope with that situation, and again: it was really hard for the German nationl
team to play under these circumstances, to lose someone close in this way is hard to deal with, on the other hand it causes a close solidarity feeling I think, but of course the world will
not change, things are returning to the old soon, but nonetheless for me this tragedy is a kind of human wake - up call, at least a call and then you continue
It wouldn't be the
first time a
team that's no longer quite at the height of their power
got their act together for a final hurrah in pursuit of the biggest prize in club
football.
I read somewhere that some said we're
not clinical enough that is a culture at wenger has become too friendly with the players at Arsenal the players position are seldom under treat you play poorly for two weeks and you still make the
team you missed a look at almunia retrospectively don't understand that hey if i
get a chance to score i must take it the
first time cause i may
not get a next one and you want the players to be clinical it must start from the top good work or none As was said on a website to day Arsenal should parade through the streets of london in an open top Bus at the end of the season the accountants of the club and i will through wenger in there too cause to most of you he can do no wrong I love this club with all my heart and i can support no other club in
football but to see for 5 seasons we can't show any vast improvement and keep making the same mistakes every year is hard to swallow it makes me sick but as wenger says judge me at the end i wonder what end he meant the end of the season or the end of his contract GO ARSENAL......................
Last season, in Zidane's
first year as coach of the senior
team, the
football wasn't always luxurious or loquacious but it was seen as a damn sight better than what Rafa Benitez was serving up previously, regardless of whether the Spaniard had been treated fairly or
not, or given the time to
get it right.
pls mr wenger u should know that arsenal
team need overall revolution, both the goalkeeper, defence, midfielders and attakers.but before anything let's

football has now pass the level u think.
Chelsea have Musonda tied down till 2019, but the teenager is well aware of his abilities, and will seek
first -
team football elsewhere if he does
not get it at SW6.
Maksim you are 100 % percent right about Dan Petrescu's faith in youngsters.In just a few months he gave chances to Ivan Solovyov, Pavel Solomatin and Vladimir Sobolev to play in the
first team.As for Mogilevets i think he will become and excellent player but
not at Zenit.He needs to move elsewhere (and
not on loan) to play
first team football like Ionov did a few years ago.In my opoinion Zenit needs a striker (if they sell Hulk to AS Monaco) to score goals.Kerzhakov is
not at his best, Bukharov has forgotten when was the last time he score and Dordevic is
not gonna
get a chance.I understand that midfielders of Zenit are all capable of scoring goals like Shirokov, Danny, Witsel, Bystrov and Fayzulin but thats striker's job and Zenit may lose a player on the filed.And something else, i was so impressed with Yuri Lodigin's performance against Krasnodar and maybe Zenit found a great replacement for Malafeev.
«Musonda left Chelsea because he wasn't
getting first -
team football but has made just three starts for the Hoops.

first -
team's pre-season touring party, but the simple numbers in midfield — and Fabregas» continued presence — mean he's
not going to
get the
football he needs in all likelihood, and should look for that elsewhere in the next twelve months.
Our transfer policy needs looking into IMO because something is
not right when you buy someone, knowing he has no chance at all of playing
first team football for your club, then loan him out for six years, sell him to the club you
got him from, buy him back to sell him but can't so sell him back to the original club again.
If Seanie keeps progressing the way he is, it won't be long before he's
