seasons back why he should be our top striker.When I thought the Monaco match was the icing on the cake to show how average he was it seems just like Wenger we» will never learn our lesson.Now people our okay
with him being a super sub which is debatable.Giroud was a super sub in games last
season because he wasn't played when he was supposed to.He's not your ideal super sub because he very hardly creates but rather requires people to create for him.Most
of the time super subs are the one's who tend to create the chances and open up spaces in the opposition defence.West ham are ready to pay and hence we should demand more from them.We can then use the money from his

seasons, time and chances a lot
of average strikers can do better than what he did.This is because Arsenal create a lot

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
In theory the
sale of one to enable the signing

sale can set a club back a number
of seasons.
I am sure Wenger would love to frustrate Klopp even further by blocking the
sale of the Ox, but the situation could develop into a Walcottesque «sign Da Ting» situation during the next campaign while Chamberlain goes further into the new

There is a report that Arsenal are willing to part ways
with $ anchez if he really wants out and they have told City to pay 80m if they really want him that bad and if they can meet our demands we are ready to do business otherwise the club is really willing to take a risk by letting him run down his contract... For me personally this is a good news (we want no bad vibes in the dressing room when the
season starts) if city are really ready to do business that will be good for us as we can use the money we get from $ anchez
sale to bring in Mbappe and Lemar and maybe James Rodriguez as he also wants out
of Madrid..
