Wenger has no tactics, plays his favourite players over better players, gives long term contracts to average and injury prone players, hates strong physical players, plays players out of position, always looking for excuse like refrees and saying other teams played more in pre season, does nt spend money on players required like if we need strikers he will buy CAM, waits for other teams to buy top players and signs average on deadline day, calls accident when we lose, talks cohesion and mental strength when we beat terrible teams and win mickey mouse trophy like Asia cup and community shield.

few weeks back there was an article on here about injured players coming back and helping at the tail end of the season; the article was big on Wilshire and I commented saying Welbeck will be the one I will most look out or because he offers us something different upfront, either as a striker or on the wings, I also said Wilshire does not register on my radar not because he os not good but simply because we have better players in his role and he has not been missed one jot....

We need better though but I'm in full 100 % support of the purchase of Shkrodan Mustafi and Lucas Perez.Mustafi can help Koscielny now.I've been saying it here time and time again that it's not a world clsss striker we have needed but a clinical finisher which we have lacked for several seasons and counting.Hopefully this guy puts Giroud where he belongs which is on the bench.Though a world class striker is good what we have lacked is someone who puts the game to bed in clinical fashion but Arsene Wenger has listened to many people to the extent that if he can't get a world class striker then he can get anyone.If Arsenal had a clinical finisher for some five seasons or so we coulda won the EPL then.Giroud has cost us matches and will continue to cost us matches.Giroud is half decent as someone said here the last time.I expect Perez to be much better if he can take on his man and be clinical in front of goal.

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

Giroud is tied on three with Bale, Payet and Morata but the Spaniard's tournament is over and with the Arsenal striker leading the line for France who are now scoring freely I think he has a good chance of finishing on top.

I just don't know what's wrong with Arsenal fans.Sure I get it as humans we all have our preferences but things start to look funny when we begin to bash and criticize a player like he's useless.I just don't get why Arsenal fans do nt want Vardy.Oh is it because he's not world class, he's English, He's not a big name, he's a fairy tale, you feel all he does is run, he's not got a better history in footballing until now or you feel Giroud is better or what?I really pity Arsenal fans honestly.I would've taken Jamie Vardy in a heartbeat.Sure he's not the best option out there.But I'll say this and say it again it's not a world class striker that wins you a league but rather just increases your chances of winning the league.If you've watched Arsenal clearly from the time since Henry left you realized that it's more of not being able to find a clinical striker.Eduardo was not a already a finished product when he started his career here yet he was clinical and was on world class form until injury.What Arsenal need now is a world class finisher if they can't get a world class striker.

If Wenger could sign a couple of big name players who play their football in similar positions, such as the Leicester and Algeria attacking star Riyad Mahrez and the Lyon and France striker Alexandre Lacazette, would you be happy to see Walcott and Giroud join the Hammers or should we hang on to one or both as well?

He showed in pre season that he a good finisher, but you can't judge him on one match, i say give him ten matches to adjust, he can play as the main striker or with giroud on the let or right of the.

OT: My wishes: — Wenger to stop playing Mert ahead of Gab... this is a must — Wenger being ruthless and stop being stubbornness «big wish» — Wenger to change his transfer policy «big wish as well» — Not count on very injury prone players (Wilshere, Walcott, Ox, Welbeck), take them only as a bounce because they would never stay fit... It is a dilemma because they are all quality home grown players, so I can not say «get rid of them all» — Give our smart attacking players (Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil) what they need, a striker... that is a must — Strengthen the flank with another quality because all the sights now on Sanchez — Get rid of useless team players (Campbell, Flamini, yes they are useless) and replace them with better players (promote or buy good ones)-- Loan Chamber... 16M is too much to ruin

d term» world class» is used loosely... giroud is a good striker but showed y he can't b trusted as our no9... missed easier chance but still scored... don't care if u sai he's not good enough but since he plays for AFC, I'll cheer him on for France 24/7... when he's at arsenal, plays like a donkey and he turns to s ** troud, then I'll change my tune... OT, did u see pogba??? believe he has gotten carried with d hype «golden boy of France»....
