not to be losing another key player this year, with Gareth Bale

However, the 29 - year - old simply hasn't created the buzz needed at a

leave this

month.

not signing a player (even tho there is still over two
months left to sign players) but the players they are craving for me just aren't good enough.
Don't forget though that Giroud was bought before RvP
left and was going to be nothing more than cover and Wenger has wanted a CF ever since... Well 12
months after losing RvP we bid for Suarez, 12
months after that we had Welbroke bought for us and Arsenal spent more than it ever had in a transfer window period, maybe the
club told him he hasn't got anything to spend?
Casillas has
not been the first - choice La Liga goalkeeper for nearly 18
months now, and with new signing Keylor Navas performing well for Los Blancos, it looks as though the 33 - year - old might finally

As reported Italian news outlet Corriere Dello Sport, Costa is almost certainly going to
leave the west London
club this summer, as the player is vying for a place in Spain's squad for the 2018 World Cup next summer, with the striker
not willing to sit on the sidelines for the next six
months with next year's World Cup looming.
I believe Wenger will say that Giroud has proven himself as our first choice striker after the four goals scored in the last two matches of the season, and with Welbeck out for «only» 9
months, we can rely on Walcott (who will sadly
not leave the
club) and Akpom
With Arsene Wenger under pressure and just a few
months left of his Arsenal contract, it is looking more and more likely that he will
not renew his contract this summer, so the rumours are rife about who is likely to replace the man who has run the
club for the last 20 years.
Unlike many I'm
not scared at all if he leaves.You know why?Because I've seen better players
leave the
club and seen where we ended up.He's very good and world class but
not as good as many think.Forget stats for a moment and look at his quality.I also hope the mistake of keeping Mr. Hold up at the
club would
not be made.Here at Arsenal we compromise a lot and we always ignore the cracks until it's too late.Wait till Lacazette goes for a three or four
month injury.Then we'll know we never learn.I hope Bellerin doesn't make this mistake of
leaving Arsenal.He has so so much to learn.His game still lacks that something.He needs to know how to maximise his potentials and be consistent.That will only come with more playing time and patience.Arsene should
not even think of letting him go as we will have to spend money on a RB and besides we need him.

leave the
club on loan last
month in order to get the regular football he was
not getting in London to help his chances of making the France national team for the Euro 2016 tournament this summer.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12
months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this
club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the
club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep
leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year
left under contract is criminal for a
club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this
club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market
club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market
club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling»
club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly
not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has
left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were
left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

Are we mad, can nobody sitting on the arsenal board see we as a
club are in decline, prices for players are going up up up, surely it would be wise to invest on 3/4 players now before wenger
leaves the
club and keep our good players, in 18
months time I can see defenders going for a hundred million, midfielders for hundred and fifty, and strikers for 200 million, in the long term it will cost arsenal more for players, fans will stop going to games which is evident now, and season ticket holders will
not renew.

months left on his current deal at the Emirates, Gunners star Sanchez is going to look to improve on the 24 goals and 11 assists he managed last season, as the winger looks to impress potential suitors should he
not renew his contract and
leave the north London
club next summer.
The major point to consider is this - we need QUALITY players to replace those leaving.Wenger like the rest of us knew Sanchez wanted out before the season started and would wait until the January window before finally getting his wish.You would hope we haven't spent the last 4
months hoping he would have a change of heart and stay.So Wenger should have used this time to plan and prepare for who is coming in.Draxler is an obvious name for the
left side and it seems Malcom for the right to replace Wally Walcott.Lets get players in NOW who want to play for this
club and let's start rebuilding NOW.Obvious to all of us but who knows what goes through Wengers mind.

The news comes as QPR continue negotiations with Mark Hughes about succeeding Neil Warnock as manager, with the hope that a new boss can reignite the fortunes of Taarabt, who has been on the fringes this term, having fired the R's to promotion from the Championship the season before.A deal with French money bags Paris Saint - Germain looked like going through in the summer, but Taarabt later blamed political differences for the transfer ultimately collapsing,
leaving him frustrated at having to stay in England.The mercurial Moroccan has interest from a host of top European
clubs, but his conduct in the last few
months, including walking out of QPR's 1 - 0 win over Chelsea at half - time and consistently admitting he wants to
leave, have
left many questioning his attitude and professionalism.However, Qatari side Al - Sadd have
not been put off, and made their move for Taarabt last week, only to pull out of a deal after being told it would take a whopping # 15 million to convince them to sell.That sort of figure also rules out Newcastle and Aston Villa as potential destinations, with the thought now that QPR will hang on to Taarabt until at least the summer, where they hope Taarabt could spark a bidding war, after being rejuvenated under a new manager and firing the
club to Premier League safety.
