I personally think he needs to bulk up some... Bielek is earning rave reviews though and his progression is going as planned, Akpom needs a proper talking to, his problem is more attotude than lack
of ability, just like Gnabry, I think because both had a run with the senior squad they feel like they are big enough to.command regular shirts where they play which is not the case, you have to earn the right to play on a Saturday afternoon, its never handed out to you... all in all, its been a disastrous season for us
of you look at progress Te English players are making at Spuds whilst our» s sit on their asses earning
ridiculous money for doing eff all....
Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack
of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love
of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both
of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste
of time and
money, which is
ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment
of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more
money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think
of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
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.

I'm so sick
of people telling those
of us who are disgruntled fans to relax and give this club time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a big part
of the problem... no other «big» club's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing
of the guard at every major club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several years because those «big» clubs failed to live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone
of these clubs have found multiple replacements and still achieved far more than our club... this mindset has been created by an organization that has been milking it's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the biggest lie
of all: that we couldn't spend because
of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization is rotting from the inside out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's
ridiculous 2 year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so
money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this club and start anew
Very true we are not a club that's struggling financially as some Arsenal fans will try and make it seem, our main issue is we waste too much

ridiculous wages for being poor players!
The problem with AFC aside from the gutless
money grabbing glory shy board, owners and manager is fans like the writer

of winning these 2 matches.....
it's time for this club to put it's
money where it's mouth is... no more half measures, no more settling, no more making
money hand - over-fist with little to show for it, no more excuses and no more hiding behind the idea that this is «small» club that can't compete with the «big boys»... the only real difference between them and us is what the manager demands and what the owner is willing to give... we play in the League with the richest tv contract in Europe, we have one
of the largest home venues with some
of the highest ticket prices on the continent, we have several major corporate sponsors, we have one
of the largest fan bases in the World whom purchase a
ridiculous amount
of merchandise, we rake in coin on tour each and every preseason and we have banked countless millions from qualifying for and participating in various competitions at home and abroad

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
Arsenal will do much better and my tip is Arsenal winning winning and winning it All winners have no time for flying banners at matches this stupid embarrassing carry on most stop and will stop during matches taking the motivation out
