You cant escape he fact that Podolski was played rarely and when he was he was played out of position much the same way that Wenger has assembled a squad of players most of which are a talented bunch, but, Wenger has failed to build a team who fit n with each other, we have a midfield that overtly populated with players who al excel in the same role BUT have no solid defensive midfield talent and no options in defence when players have crap periods or are long term injury problems.

Besides several teams who have questions surrounding one or possibly two players, there is no squad that has so many issues heading into the final week of the transfer window... even Monaco, who have lost numerous players from their starting 11 have less controversy swirling in and around their club and they have champion's league play to contend with this season... just think of how ridiculous this situation is especially considering that we have had the same manager for over 20 years... no team should be better organized than ours... if nothing else, that should be the one advantage this team holds over all others, yet the exact opposite has occurred... this fact is even more disturbing considering the main argument against removing Wenger from his managerial position was that there was no suitable replacement and that people feared some sort of perceived drop - off if a new manager was brought into the mix... based on what we've witnessed since the time of his contract renewal a monkey with a magic eight ball could have done an adequate job... I hate to make jokes, in light of our current dilemma, but this team is so screwed up if I don't laugh about it, the only plausible response is to either cry or do something incredibly destructive... just look around this squad and try to see what our delusional manager sees that allow him to make such positive statements about our current team

our mental attitude, belief and motivation is what is really killing us, shame we do not have a manager who can make even the most average of players feel like they are Pele or Maradona, because if Wenger is such a manager, we would have been out of sight of the other by now, and yes, with Flamini and all the other lightweights in the squad in tow

We have a nice balance between youth and experience and I'm pleased to say that most of our squad is also full of players that with hard work, could replace each other in the starting eleven.

I do nt know why, we have a very small team compared to other bug clubs of our caliber that alone can send a player off once he knows he's not going to play, our squad players mostly get time to play during injury crisis...

He had a bad game against Chile, therefore he deserved to be dropped and from my understanding the German coach carried other players to look at in this tournament, so its going to be a hell of a competition for world cup place in all positions for German, even our Ozil may not make it into the squad

Arsenal has depth, but it isn't quality squad depth, Rosiscky, Cazorla, Ozil all play the same position and neither of them add a great deal more than the other, our midfield is stoked but the areas we actually need depth in are barren, we have no solid defensive midfielder with our usual reliance on a CAM moved back, as a result players like Ramsey and Wilshere who are box to box players end up creating more imbalance in an already unbalanced team.

I can only see two solutions to this problem, One is to have less international friendlys and the other logical way around this would be to up the squad numbers of the top teams in Europe, From 24 to 34 giving more room to rotating and resting players.

Wenger on the other hand kept Arsenal always one or two players away from a complete squad and in the last couple of windows he completely messed up with transfers and internal contract extensions.

His constant undermining of talented players by using them incorrectly, playing out of position, subbing or not even picking them, buying players for other positions we need less keenly than the gaping holes everywhere we look, (CDM esp and some quality CB's to step in immediately) has bemused and undermined much of our whole squad.

Giroud just is not good enough and thats the facts here, we would have been three goals up with a real world class striker, regardless of Ozil and sanchez current form if we had brought in a real DM player then we'd have won points at other games and this would be just a blip, teams do loose games and they do have off days, the real problem lays in the fact that Wenger has no real top notch choices to mix and match with is he has slumps with his current squad.

Our investment in players and hence the competitiveness of our squad has declined considerably relative to the other top 6 Clubs.

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

With the Sanchez saga dominating headlines it's easy to forget that in the background we have made our squad weaker with the selling of Szczesny, Gills, Ox, Coquelin, Gabriel, Walcott and other fringe players.

It was also strange to rest Petr Cech, who has more experience of winning Champions League games than any other player in the squad, but Wenger thought he needed a rest.

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.

According to the Manchester Evening News, a number of players in the squad have identified some of the passing from midfield as a main problem, with Pogba and others supposedly not passing the ball forwards often enough.

of our homegrown players, and most importantly he will not directly replace le coq and thus wudnt hinder his development and also Milner can b used as a good squad player in other positions as well unlike Morgan schniederlein.

wenger has made the club profit this window i would have though as well all incomings have been covered out goings and other revenues coming in like c / l monies and squad releases wages being saved i bet we are in a + balance if we went through it properly we do nt know what the budget is so it could be worst there now way wenger has spend # 100 not even # 70 million transfers ospina = covered by the sales of miquel and monies made from cesc to chelsea so nothing really spend there debuchy = covered by the vela money chambers = covered by the vermalen sale # 11 million only goes up to # 16 if he does well in certain circumstances sanchez = covered by the c / l monies and no doubt what we are owed on previous player sales i.e cesc to barca and song monies still outstanding welbeck = covered by wages being freed up and the rest of outgoing transactions and previous player sales being owed so there we have most likely recoup most if not all of our transfer monies back and shafted and lied to puma and the emirates about spending there monies in sponsorship on tranfers and pocketing in» profit» aprox # 60 - 70 million of the transfer funds to boot wenger hang your head in shame

We also have some other players in our squad who are linked with the exit door, with current contract rebels Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil possible outgoings, but which other players are no longer deemed worthy of a regular run of action in our first - team?

We didn't need a manager this season if we're just gonna put out the same players that come 5th anyone could of done what wenger is doing it's easy I buy lacazette then put he same team out from the same squad even when I have injuries it's easy just put out the rest of the squad and play them out of position I mean I'd take 8mil to do that oxlade at lwb kolansinac at cb elneny cm holding rcb there's no work of a manager there just put in players were others ain't ready to play then buy nobody else and do interviews with the same excuses job done next game change some ppl around but same ppl that came 5th then sell Alexis do interviews same excuses job done transfer window closes fans wish they never supported arsenal wenger laughing to the bank job done

But he wont spend the fricken money and as I've said in a response further down the thread we just don't have a squad that can really do the business half of the team are not good enough half of the remainder are too old and the other half are good enough but without additions and selling players we wont everr win a bloody thing again its that simple

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?
