Most English
players are in the squad only to comply with the Quota requirements.
Most of their first choice
players were in the squad, Nasri, Dzeko, jovetic, silva, clichy, navas, Yaya, (new signing Fernando whose preferred to Fenlandinho) we were without our German contingent.
Not exact matches
Standing behind him
were Charles Fisher and Derek Steele, two other
players from the JMU
squad that
in the 1982 NCAA Tournament almost beat a North Carolina team that included future NBA All - Stars like James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and Michael Jordan.
The problem with Arsenal
is how we play, or adapt our play
in matches, we've had good
players up to the point where our
squad looks better than the opposition, but we then loose dismally.
Save if the present Gunners save themselves from going out of this season Ucl to Barcelona, the Boss and the Arsenal Board MUST
re focus their focus on revamping the Arsenal
squad with some additions of top quality
players from where ever they can find them to replace the dead woods, the injury proners, the past it, the can't make it, the too average, the not Ucl quality, the 1 or 2 matches performance
players, the low class ones, the uninteligent ones, the lazy ones but swallowing up vast wages of Arsenal money, the cave -
in big games
players and the boastful but lackluster
players in big games who
are presently at Arsenal now.
Wenger has mostly used the second string
squad at the start of any season to great effect, most teams aren't at full strength or match fit and he plays that Wengerball numbers game, throwing
in squad players who
are fit and raring to go whilst the first team get ready, we'll win 2 of our 3 opening games and he'd rather that than splash 100m on 3
players and get the same amount of points.
Of course nicking the win would
be ideal, but
in a perverse way we need to
be honest and strengthen our overall
squad with injury proof
players..
I still haven't figured out whether Elneny
is going to
be competition for Coquelin or the
squad player addition that will fill
in for Wilshere
in short period and replace Rosicky for next season onwards.
I'd expect Wenger to name a few regular stars
in the side, but I think the majority of names on the teamsheet will
be those fringe
players in the
squad and those youngsters on the cusp of breaking into the first team.
He must not
be sold.He
's also better than a lot of Chelsea youngsters.That
's not enough basis for him to
be sold.At top form he
's better than Pedro, Moses and Willain.These
are players whose main strength
is dribbling and he tops them there no doubt.I remember him
in one season having the highest dribble success rate percentage
in the EPL.All he needs
is to develop a level of consistency.A lot of their youngsters have potential but most won't
be good as the Ox.The Ox himself has not reached full potential yet.He hasn't developed a certain level of consistency.Him also
being a
squad player is because of those above him.Those above him
are all quality
players.This won't
be smart business at all.He
's just going to destroy himself
in another club and after
being patient with him we
are now deciding to sell him?
In turn, depending on the opposition and what Valverde feels suits the players at his disposal best, Barca have a lot of quality in the squad and it would be a surprise to not see them competing for major honours this season regardless of whether or not they were able to land all of their top targets this summe

We should
be in for the likes of Griezmann AND every other world class
player that fits our method of playing, Ive said it time and time again our
squad is only half world class the rest
are mediocre at best (yes I know Ill get thumbed down ect by all the AKB's on site) but the results over the last ten years
are proof alone that we
are NOT good enough to compete with the other Elite teams.
While he admitted that he
is indeed content with the «strong»
squad available to him and will not
be signing many
players to add to it, he did go on to say that he will only
be looking at world - class
players to bring
in to the Emirates.
We have
players in the
squad that would
be brilliant under another manager and for that simple reason wenger renews contracts instead of letting them go.
@ Robin VanPayslip what if we try it and it works wonders... Our
squad would certainly
be well utilized with it, we will get more counter attack goals coming
in — Right now our counters fall
in the way side and we would have 3 guys — not two to meet the opponents counters... and at least two or three
players in every spot
in the field...
I feel he needs to do this to restore our faith
in him so that
in years to come we don't panic if we see little or no activity
in the transfer window, because with everybody around us significantly improving their
squad, Wenger has
been quoted talking about the cohesion of the
squad is more important than having one absolutely amazing
player who wins everything for the club.
Eriksen would
be a good
squad player but don't see him
in our 1st X1 if everyone
is on form and fit.
Signing or not, I
'm just eager to watch the boys play, Mustafi doesn't come with guarantees either, most of these
players we cry out for
are just average at best and only contribute to bloated
squad numbers
in the long run after our already average
squad members return from injury.
What
's the point
in just improving the
squad with
players that won't add nothing to the team?
most of these decisions
is him wanting to develop a
player and try to fit him
in, but ends up disrupting the
squad, or even destroying another
player in the process (arshavin, Gervinho)
- long term, cause several
players to
be not available, creating a lack of depth
in squad.
we need to sacrifice at least 2 of the skilled diminutive
players in mid for 2 strong Quality
players > now I
am not a huge fan of Wilshere I feel he
is over rated but I admit he has relent but not the type of
player Arsenal really need to have a balanced
squad.
Underused this season still has bags of energy / xp and
is a great
player to have
in the
squad.
if giroud
is out for 3 months (acc 2 rumors) & wenger
is considering to sign remy / welbeck or cerci then he has lost it we won't win a thing this season especially with these
players remy
was poor against spuds such
players don't deserve to
be in our
squad rather keep podolski
If Wenger understands the seriousness of the
players and fans I hope he leaves if there
is no end - product
in the
player he just signed as previous
players from Japan have not lit up the
squad.
Rooney
is joined
in the England
squad by Red Devils stars Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck, while Uruguay have no
players from Old Trafford — making Van Persie's decision about tonight's game a simple one.
As an Arsenal fan I would love to see us get to the point where we have 2 WC
players (1 «old» and 1
in prime) for every spot, 22
players who need to
be registered and this allows an allowance of 3
players for the
squad, utility
players / big personality... Use kids to make a 3rd man for every spot, get them ready to step into the shoes of an older WC
player.
I enjoyed this article, it
is pretty much what I have
been thinking lately: that the majority of the
squad (not just Oli)
are confidence
players and that Wenger
is cautious to disrupt the balance
in the
squad, that
's why he has
been going on about cohesion so much.
I think if LACAZETTE can keep this up, he
's going to claim a place
in the french world cup
squad next year, his goal scoring instinct
is sharp, he knows he won't get too much chances and makes use of the few ones he gets and he
was unluncky not to have scored against chelsea and his header wasn't a fluke, he knew where the post
were and he directed the ball, he will
be handful for defender when our complete
squad starts and luckily for us he
's not an injury prone
player, having him, Sanchez (if he stays), Giroud and Ozil fit will
be vital for us this season and i see plenty of goals..
He
's been our worst
player in the whole first team
squad.
They
are great
players to have
in the
squad so maybe some of you should look at our starting team and see where Arsenal can improve there.
Gibbs should
be a
squad player and he shouldn't
be the futuristic
player we aspire to have
in our first eleven.
Still, there
's clearly work to do
in that Arsenal
squad, with
players like Granit Xhaka and Theo Walcott among those Wenger should certainly
be looking to replace before too long.
If you
were playing on a Sunday morning and got caught out by that goal you would
be steaming 3
players v 1 and not one
players actually picked him up, so he turns and runs 60 yards Massive schoolboy error And why
is the team virtually the same barring forced changes What
's the point of having a
squad WENGER OUT and you will hear this again and again One difference
in the teams, they play as a team Ramsey and Alexis awful
It
is believed that Livermore would cost
in the region of # 6m and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has shown a willingness to sell any
player who doesn't not feature prominently
in the first team
squad.
All three
are now seemingly set to
be axed, and
in truth it would make perfect sense as it would raise funds and create space
in the
squad for Klopp to bring
in his own
players and build a
squad that he believes can compete for major honours both at home and abroad.
Arsenal fans will have the chance to see a huge number of supposed targets during the match, with as many as 10
players in the
squads that
are linked with our club.
It turns out that the reason that Lukas Podolski
was the only Arsenal
player in the Germany
squad that
was beaten by Argentina 4 - 2
in a friendly repeat of the World Cup final,
was that Mesut Ozil had picked up an injury
in the Gunners» disappointing draw at Leicester City last weekend.
Chelsea just want upgrades
in CB and Striker.Liverpool needed more
player as they
are in Champions league this yr.Spurs don't need anyone as they have a young
squad and they have almost all their places covered.
Since moving to the Turin giants
in 2015, the Gabonese international has
been more or less a
squad player for the Italian champions.
I see some have already turned this
in to an anti-Wenger rant — the same people who «only want whats best for this club» and for the club to progress and to see ruthless management and build proper
squad depth
are getting teary eyed and eulogising over a fantastic, brilliant, exciting
player with almost perfect technique who for whatever reason has never lived up to his potential.
Your daily
squad comments
are exhausting what
's the point
players can only move when there
's a window or when contracts come to an end also
in the window.
Having said that, better
players tend to make a batter team and some can
be more important than others, especially if they bring balance to a side and make it complete
in a way that no other
player in the
squad can.
I quite agree sell all the deadwoods but which
player in his right mind would want to come to arsenal at the moment, remember people man u
was in the same situation under moyes but we
're able to attract better
player's even when not playing champions league, the selling point from arsenal point of view
is to tell
players which they
are trying to get what the plan
is of getting back to top flight football by going for the Europa league over the FA cup and finishing
in the top six otherwise if they go for wishy - washy arsene wenger stupid attitude of we've got quality all the
squad we
are competing for everything then I
'm afraid We will end up with nothing
All we can do now
is play every game like a final, cover our fit
players in wool and pray to God
players like Ramsey, Xhaka, Ox, Gibbs, and Cech hit form along with the rest of the
squad.
He may
be the most expensive Arsenal
player but everyone should agree by now he
is far from the best
player in our
squad.
Ffs wenger, ox pod and campbell
are better wide
players than ozil, there
's only one positión for ozil
in this
squad and it
is behind the striker or the bench.
Winks
was one of six Spurs
players to
be included
in Southgate's
squad on Thursday and it seems certain that Pochettino's side will provide the spine for England's shot at global glory next year.
One must conclude from this that Arsene must have identified this
player to
be ideal to fill
in a position of weakness
in the
squad.
Despite having only 2 FA cups to his name though, Koscielny
is a modern Arsenal legend for me and my favourite
player in the
squad!
