This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits

It is one of those balancing acts in football and something of a paradox that Arsenal and just about every other big club has to cope with every season, but hopefully this season Arsene Wenger has got the balance just right between having a talented squad with strength in depth and keeping the players reasonably happy with the chances they are getting on the pitch.

Still, if Don Balon's latest report of a # 177m double bid also prove accurate, that would undoubtedly be tempting money that could help Florentino Perez sign other big names, be it in goal or elsewhere in his squad.

The boy wonder known as the next Cesc Fabregas by several other of the Arsenal squad, and even the man himself, is surely guaranteed a big future.

The biggest problem has been wenger for long time now «project» run Arsenal football club as an academy and try to prove to everyone else he is the one who knows better and try to bring in kids who have potential but not ready for 1st team resisting spending money to improve squad depth and cling in on average players: Iwobi, welbeck, theo, chambers, holding and player other players on wrong position Monreal and not give opportunity to good footballer Perez and Campell also you have been holding too much power from transfer, players contracts, arsenal finances as a whole and now all that BS start to backfire

No one is questioning Wenger's past achievements, but he has had three seasons and 5 transfer windows to get the necessary players i.e a top sttiker and a dm which are glaring deficiencies in our squad and yet he ignores it and this summer was an example of how delusional he has become, by making statements like there no players available which could improve our squad, while treble winner barca even with their transfer ban get couple in, same with Bayern, Madrid and all other big clubs because they know you have constantly improve their squads to compete, and by making that statement he implied that he has one of the best sqauds in Europe, so can you please tell me whether you are optimistic about our chances against Bayern?

It seems like an unlikely scenario however, with the 23 year - old proving a big hit in Italy, and I would expect other players in the squad to be shown the exit door first should reports prove to be true.

What depresses me about watching them this year is how obviously unhappy the team is... there is little to no chemistry among these guys — which is dispiriting to see on a Spurs squad... I think the big discrepancy in the home vs. road record is indicative of that... it seems like they just run out of gas and don't really rally around each other in the 4th quarter, particularly on the road... they still try because there's a lot of pride in them, but this team just doesn't really seem to believe in each other, if that even makes sense.

Now I think there is still reasons to be cheerful, I agree Man C & Chelski have spent & bought some good players, we all understand that 5 of those teams might be in the CL proper which is a huge distraction for those 4 - 5 teams.Chelsea will not be able to field the same 13 - 14 players all season, as for Man C they were very frail at the back last season, add to that 2 flying wing backs and I'm not sure they will be any better this coming season.LFC will most probably have CL as well if they qualify and haven't exactly bought great players apart from Salah who could be a good aquasistion for them.Spuds have sold a good player & strengthened a rival & still not bought a single player yet, Man U have bought 2 good players & in Lukaku have a proven goal scorer in the PL but if they play the same dour way they did last season & with the added games the CL brings will they perform week in week out in the league??? As for Everton yes they have released a lot of players and also brought in a lot too to give better quality in the squad as they have Europa league the same as US the big difference is I think we will play squad players & youngsters maybe with a few senior players all the way up to the QF This tells me most of our rivals will pave the way for us to field pretty much the same side every weekend in the PL thus giving us an advantage over all the other 5 teams playing in the CL & Europa, just remember the League has been won in the last 2 seasons by teams NOT in Europe YES we are this season but I think Wenger will put all his eggs in the League basket and field an under strength side in all comps hence focusing on the League until we are no longer in the race.

I guess we have a big enough squad to get through this period unless the injury problems have other ideas.

If Wenger has lost the squad and can not get them to play with the passion he should be replaced as he would be at any other big club.

Depending on their perceived abilities, some players are happy to sit on the bench while others are not.Though I know it is necessary to have a big squad, I think it is time to off load Debuchy at al create slots for potential upgrades.

I ve just read last article on Bale, and some of fans think he isnt worth money, LOL if we had Bale this season i am sure we would be first, not Chelsea, and if you think other big teams wont spend then start preapering 4th place trophy for next year, we are 3rd team, so we need to spend more than city or chelsea to even balance our squad with theirs, now imagine if any of them gets Bale, Aguerro and Bale, or Hazard and Bale, means bye bye EPL for many years!!!

I get it, he only has a year on his contract, but still, with all ht mega $ out there now being thrown around, surely, if a club really wanted him so badly and rated him as a huge player, where are the big offers??? Perhaps other clubs would love to have him as a player, but would they want to deal with another ego in their squad?

All I have heard repeatedly is that he is not going to be allowed to leave I would imagine that unless a big star comes in we would not let him leave... its 3 or 4 of the other squad players that need to leave — lets see Mahrez is not the one we need as we have plenty of attacking players and he is not a world class or standout player We let in 3 goals last night (albeit with a very makeshift team) and 44 goals last year so its clear what we need to focus on..

The biggest movers in the Week 3 Power Rankings that rise into the # 3 spot is none other than veteran squad Team Tucci.

Seeing how quality players are moving in this transfer window am a very sad sad sad man.The other big clubs have confirmed they will spend big but for Wenger he said we have enough depth in the squad but if special player is available we can buy, now special players are not available without a bid.We have only one Arsene but we cant win major trophies with wenger he used to win them when it was a two horse race, only utd were a threat but now he cant repeat the invincible era or win epl 10 yrs can evidence there is competition and we are not in it.Clubs like chelsea are in debts cuz of buying wc players to win trophies, We put club into debt b4 to build stadium so he can generate more revenue for club owners and share holders

of course, i get frustrated at the fact we buy 1 decent player and then all the pressure sits on their shoulders i feel for sanchez every game he works his arse off and he looks like he annoyed by some of the other players who ai nt up to it we have a decent squad but we need 1st team cdm and a striker and a decent cb, look at bayern benatia, boateng, martinez, dante all being played at cb but our only decent cb is kos, its not good enough i like mert but he ai nt gonna help us win the league, would love arsene to finish this season with at least 1 more trophy and then try bring in pep guardiola he's the only manager similar to arsenal's style but i think he would need a promise from the board for big funds

I think we deserve to win the PL and UCL every other year (every year would just be greedy), we just need to get bought out by big oil money, sack the board, build another 2 tiers on the Emirates to get us up to 85,000 capacity, sack Wenger and appoint Klopp / Simone / Koeman (whoever is doing best at the time), sell the entire squad and start again but 25 world class players and nothing less.

Despite their big chest transfers plan (followed by many axes on their squads), I think ManShit and specially ManUre will get busy themselves trying to gel each other.

Again, there's not a whole lot of value to take such a big favorite but there's no other squad worthy of a bet this year.

For all the others big spending our 32 man squad compares favourably with man United's 26 man squad, Chelsea's 23 man squad and Man City's 21 man squad.

Calling for a manager sack or whole change the squad is immature (other big teams are also under - performing left right center — Chelsea, Man City,...).

i think we will make fourth spot this season if we get to keep Sanchez that is if Sanchez starts to play like he did yesterday, i think because lack of squad depth the likes of Spuds, Liverpool and possibly Chelsea will start to drop points in Feb by losing first team players to injury after busy Christmas scheduled and busy CL scheduled, we on the other hand should be topping the group on Thursday night football playing with mixture of youth and bench players hopefully leaving our first team rested and fit, February we have three big games Everton home, Spuds away and City home, hopefully we do well
