Mertz should never have been our captain
in the first place... who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7
years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen
and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop
and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from
year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on
and off the pitch
and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt
and participating
in the process... not enough balance between
performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played
in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (
out wide)
and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role
in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest
in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!

I first watched Arsenal
in 1976
and have been following home
and away ever since NOT 2006, I also don't use twitter
and don't play fifa, for the record I really am bored with the insinuation that if you criticise an Arsenal player, the owner or wenger then you don't support Arsenal, are happy with everything that's been going on since say the move to the grove?do you not ever think things should be done differently?did you never criticise a player?if you say no then I don't believe you.I make no hesitation
in saying I'm very much on the side of the wenger
out brigade, but never would I come on here
and write what you've just done, for a start
in might upset my seventy
year old dad who is very much a AKB.I think you're just a keyboard warrior some how.Regardless though credit where credits due good
performance today,
and yes I did go
1) It is a world cup
year so players usually put
out their best
performances 2) If the said players want a big contract somewhere else should they not want to re-sign they will have to put
in very convincing
performances for suitors or get even better terms should they re-sign 3) We came 5th last
year and i'm pretty sure it gave every member of the team a kick up the rear.
Yet If Arsenal want the best
out of him then Wenger must show serious trust
in his abilities even after Xhaka's return because part of Elneny's slight turbulence
in form this season has been due to the addition of Xhaka who's presence seriously affected Elneny's moral
and those who deep into things would've noticed the difference between last
years Elneny (prior to Xhaka's acquisition)
and this
year's Elneny with majority of games Elneny coming off the bench yet the very last few games he started before the AFCON have boosted his confidence back
and that very much reflected on his last
performances before leaving to an extent that surprised quite a few!!

Im not saying Wenger is an idiot but his stubborn refusal to move with the times has cost us dear over the last few
years and as Ive already stated earlier
in the conversation our resurgence has
in part had a lot to do with the competition dropping off
in performance rather than us leaping forward, that said we have made improvements
and we are playing far better, but I will bet my house that no world class striker will be brought
in in the summer
and there wont be any really important key players brought
in during the summer as Wenger has already laid
out his stall
in regards to this.

Well your righ with met spend but
in amount paid
out for players no net were 5th but i agree our champions league
performances have been poor we had some tough draws
and the premier league is more demanding then the other leagues
in strwnght of competition
and games played still excuses do nt win but that monaco loss left me shaking my head
in cl we get theough the group but cant muster the strength needed for knockout
and we should be performing better were under performing for the talent xhaka has frustrated me hes got the talent
and plays well but cant hold focus
in games he drops off
and loses his marks our academy is doing well but yes it is tougher now to break
in to the first team iwobi has done well but one or two seasons away from being there if he does turn himself elite ever has to score or he will just be another ox but i think its been a wake up call to the club we finally have to act theres a wave of ideas to not only get us back to winning ways but become title contenders
and i think give him the extension one
year its a world cup
year and that will also allow our players esp strikers who been very poor this
year realized its tough to play
in englad
and next
year will have a better idea what it really takes to win here shore up some spots
and depth
and were
in contention fail
and the changes will happen but let him have one more
year the fact were willing to spend shows me an upturn from the decline
It was the final nail
in the coffin of his Arsenal career as his slow play
and lethargic
performances meant he was shipped
out after just two
years and only 25 league appearances.
although KROENKE
and his pet boy Gazidis are accomplices the only responsible of the poor showings ARSENAL repeats

OUT PERIOD follow him if you want
Arsene Wenger spoke
in the week about the big gap between Arsenal
and the current Premier League leaders might just allow the Gunners to play with some of the old fluency
and verve that saw us topping the table at the turn of the
year and even though the Gunners were knocked
out of the Champions League
in midweek, there were enough positives from our
performance against Barcelona to give us some belief back.
This despite the club spending untold millions on a new stadium
and players, each
year has seen a decline
in performance which has culminated
in the club now being hopelessly
out of touch with the top teams
in the Premiership.
I was hoping to get back
out here,» said Woods, who,

which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class
performances for club
and country
in recent
years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes
and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went
and got Suarez, even though they had Messi
and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another
in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical
in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud
and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all
in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts
in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet
and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread
out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund
and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few
years ago... did no one
in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course
Alexis
in his second season after a freakishly brilliant start, Ozil coming
in to consistent form at the end of his second season, Coq now with a proper body of work under his belt
and a whole summer to work on it, Bellerin with his first season jitters
out of his system, Giroud finally realising he might be a pretty decent striker, Gab with some solid
performances and the close - season to bond further, Monreal maturing
in to an unspectacular but tremendously solid FB, Ospina settled — it is my opinion that these
and others will be what will bring the bigger improvements
and the consistency needed next
year rather than any wholesale changes.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is
in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB
and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis...
in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but
in reality we have only 1 option with any real future
and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for
years because he
and his father were a little too involved on social media
and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same
and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest
in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill
and / or youth worthy of our time
and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz
and loan
out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup
performance but these sort of pie
in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club
and it's wishy - washy fan - base...
in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant
and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward
and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel
and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players
and certainly can't help make the player
in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)...
in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did
in our most glorious
years before
and during Wenger's reign... with this
in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess
and provide him with the proper players
in the final third... he was never a good defensive player
in Real or with the German National squad
and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely
in the hands of Wenger
and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez
and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a
year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size
and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott
and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship
and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott
and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a
performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)...
in their places we need to bring
in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many
years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices
and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board
and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger,
and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front
and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model
in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically
in the last 15
years, which has left a largely complacent
and complicit Wenger on the outside looking
in... so don't blame those players who demanded more
and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several
years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...

We can give credit to Wenger for buying him
in the first place, developing him for 7
years, for not giving up when it would have been easy to do so, not selling him, for repeatedly putting him
out on loan to try
and improve / motivate him, for taking the decision to recall him, to dropping Flamini

performances.
Arsenal might be winning games again but let's face it their
performances have hardly been inspiring.Far
and away their best
performance so far was a defensive hard earned 0 - 0 away draw to Chelsea.Its a long long time since Arsenal.played a style of football which was fast moving, free - flowing
and with consistently positive end result.The media still seam to tar them with that same brush but truth be known the likes of both Manchester clubs, Liverpool
and Spurs are far more entertaining to watch these days than Arsenal's tippy - tappy sideways brand of play Hopefully they will be able to build momentum
in the coming weeks
and inspire confidence prior to the Citeh
and Spuds games... otherwise this Season will unfortunately develop into even more farce than Wenger, Gazidas
and Kronke managed to orchestrate last
year and the Emirates will empty
out even more noticeably!!

Why can't people for God sake understand the angle the young man was coming from, this is a guy who has come
out to suggest what he feel will be of great glory to the team, futbol is about winning trophy not the samba, champaign, tick taka or jambody style Of playwill be accredited to ur cv after retirement, every professional player will wants to be identify with a medal, mind you he have limited
years to his career, therefore we should not allow sentment or affections we have for our various teams erode the basic objective of the game.we should also think about their future too, this guys are proffessionals which young lads are looking up to
and questions will be ask tomorrow about theirs playing days.can people tell me why pele
and some other famous players
in the world both present
and past are been celebrated today the answer is simply cos they are successful
in their career
and have trophy to show for it
in their respective clubs or countries, why the complain
in nigeria?its simply cos our team for quite a while now has not recorded any troph to her glory, fans should learn how to call a spade a spade
in order to balance situation
and also for better
performance of the team.why then did arsene wenger hurridly went to buy more experienced players after the poor
outing he had at the beggining of last season?this players know beta cos they are at the centre of it all, we don't have to trash what they say, we fans are only watching from screen,
in as much as we beliv
in arsen wenger, we should also know that without the boys no arsen wenger, fans should try to reason along with the players too.an hypotetical cases of similar to rvp has been tested by some players
and have put them right over the coach
and the team.so, whatelse does the fans needs to prove that futbol has gone beyond living
in the past.for example, fabrigas
and nasri were able to prove their critics wrong.thank God for them, we should always be objective
in our submission, how else do we expect players to show their commitment to a team that was
in 8 on the log table
and later fought their way back to 3rd this boys are commendable
and deserve to be encouraged, I think is high time the manager
and the mgt board of arsenal futbol team get to know that game of futbol has gone beyond two teams domination, its now like a pendilum which can swing either way only with a powerful insrument called money.you can't eat ur cake
and have.
