Just more dead cat talk that distracts from wenger's failure to
upgrade by getting rid of average
players who we all know can't deliver trophies even in a weak year... And EPL and cl were both that last year... Walcott Campbell Gibbs ox and mert should all have gone by now... Draxler Rodriguez subotic (there are better though) could have come in
as all are actually available with a net spend of very little... Then focus on goal scorer and splash the cash... Would still go for for the borrusia guy but if wenger shows no intent nothing will happen
the team nurtures

do nt be surprised if we see song back on a loan would be the easiest midfield option to get at short notice just to get him on loan for a season just to fill the gap i think wenger likes familiarity with some
players knowing the arsenal way would be an ok squad filler in case we have injury pile up at Christmas or new year period
as you would expect would be an
upgrade on kim kalstrom i think anyways and being at barca cant have done his skill set any harm maybe he learn to more defensive responsibility
the club need an
upgrade in that position cos if Sanchez can score that number of goals in his first season in that position (something Giroud hasn't done in how many seasons) then we should be looking for a

Cesc was definitely not our missing link and
as I have said elsewhere if I could nick a single Chelsea

The sad truth is that we are just a couple of
players away from having a very strong starting 11... Wenger's fixation with Walcott and mertesakher
as starting
players remains a mystery to me... neither have the quality of a top team like arsenal... I am not a giroud hater but he is still too inconsistent and the big question is whether welbeck can push him in a way Walcott won't... Campbell has done well and has moved ahead of Walcott and, ox for sure but there is still a question about how much more he can improve... Elneny is certainly an
upgrade over arteta and flamini whether he will make it I don't know just hope that he does but arguably wenger could have been more ambitious... That leaves a top quality striking option... There is no doubt that wenger deluded himself over the summer and that needs to be corrected ASAP... Draxler dybala aube and even griezman with a big enough big could have been prized in summer... january not a good time for this but it is not difficult to find better options than Walcott ox or Campbell... All a question of whether wenger wants to win EPL on his terms or wants to win this for the club

cazorla — great
player, just

seriously, what is wrong with you, you're making excuses for man united on why they lost to MK DONS for god sake, and not just lost, but were destroyed 4 - 0; had it been us we would have never heard the end of this from you, you would have been all doom and gloom probably telling everyone how we would be lucky to take 4th this season despite taking 4th + for the last 15 years and being just

upgrade and we will get another

part of that is an owner and board who put their profits way above the performance of the team but it is also a manager who conforms to the wishes of the board (and for all I know may have an ownership stake
as well) by putting their short term interests above the long term performance of the team
as a result the team itself has become corrupted by the regime through insufficient investment in
upgrading the team (all the more damaging
as the environment in which the team operates has become increasingly competitive) with ocassional panic acquisitions to meet minimal (but ever diminishing) performance targets to keep fans on board the result is a massively unbalanced team of overpaid compliant
players who have been around for too long, inexperienced (and also overpaid) young
players who have not cost the club much (or anything) and small islands of quality
players..
As I said in previous post's Willian and Fabregas who are bit part

Drexler and the pole from Sevilla is a minimum for me both available and affordable... Drexler would be a massive
upgrade on podolski (better than wellbeck and Walcott) playing

upgraded squad... Not sure it could win us title but might consolidate 3rd or better and beyond cl 2nd round

upgrade with a few
players, but a few may have to leave before anyone comes in.

Those aren't the greatest areas of interest for most teams, but it is definitely an
upgrade for next season, and
as players leave or retire in coming seasons, Bolles could become a premier left tackle and Davis has a ceiling that could put him on virtually any pedestal.
never waste CAPITAL LETTERS on an article about Chambers at this juncture... I still can't believe that no one from management has ever explained why such a frugal club spent so much money on him in the first place... we haggle for months and years with clubs for
players who could have a monumental impact on the very future of our club but somehow we found $ 16 million for someone who couldn't regularly crack a Southampton lineup (very fishy)... don't get me wrong, I like what he showed at times last season in Middlesbourogh but from the handful of games I watched him play I still have some serious questions about his consistency
as a back - line
player in the EPL;
as such he should prove himself on loan for another season, making sure that he goes to a team that wants him in the starting 11... bottom line, let's not get bogged down with the semantics of peripheral
players and focus on the real task at hand = figure out who the hell is going to be our starting 11 for the foreseeable future, which means getting contracts signed, getting rid of a lot of deadwood and bringing in talented
players into the positions which truly need
upgrading... the rest is just unnecessary noise
