A lot of fans, past
players and even pundits are asking for us to sign Benzema and if we do that would be a big F**K YOU to either Theo or his agent, whoever was holding the
club at ransom for a pay raise and back to the wings you go... Get a feeling now seeing Pedro going to Chelsea whom has won everything there is to win and to me is on a
different level than Theo could have been ours if 1) Walcott wasn't homegrown to make up that number and 2) to prevent him from going to a rival.
I'm going to repeat what I said earlier... this team actively pursued a policy to undermine the relationship between the fans and the best
player on this team... for all intent and purposes this is a traitorous act... so instead of spending money, which all pundits and fans agreed was necessary in order to compete
at the highest levels, this
club was wasting time and money trying to turn fans against Sanchez long before the end of the season (the real concerted effort started around the time that Wenger benched him for the start of the Liverpool game)... for a team that pertains to be
different, like a FAMILY, and constantly questions the tactics of it's opponents, to engage in such a treasonous act is deplorable

And

Afterall, both Sallah and Debrune are currently the top two
players in EPL today but a certain top EPL

the interlude gave
players a break away from the pressure cooker environs of the EPL, the managers few days to reassess the positions of their
clubs on the table and take stock of what has been a topsy turvy season and it also gave fans a few days to really look
at things from a
different angle... we still have a slim chance of winning the title, so Watford are in for a beating tomorrow no doubt.....
There is
different rumours / stories coming out of Dortmund
at the moment, Person reasons and Flying to Africa to pick up an award are the main ones, but what makes things more interesting is the comments from some
player's and directors

nice to see you crawl out of your hole just in time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought to the EPL, which
at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid to bring strong personalities and / or world - class
players into the fold without being fearful of how said
players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest
players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry to RVP to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy to see that this
club was no longer interested in competing
at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending to be a world - class soccer
club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done to my beloved
club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a
different team to pretend to follow

at what Wenger has had to say and the kind of

I saw someone saying that there is a stat which shows a mammoth difference between Wilshere and Ali.I can tell you for a fact that Arsenal is a team which gives youngsters a chance a lot but the waythe youngsters are integrated into the team is very bad.There is also an injury curse in an Arsenal too.Had Wilshere started his career
at Tottenham given the same chances as Ali and based on the two reasons I stated he'd have been thrice the
player Alli is today.Even Ramsey I blame it on Arsenal.I just imagine him having started his career in a
different club who give chsnces to youngsters except Arsenal.Things would've been
different.

different players and there are

at different clubs in that country during that time period then he will be regarded as an association trained

players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a
player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a
different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the
player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out of them visa vie
player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with
players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best of these
players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our
club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this
club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind of
players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart
at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved
club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled
player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled
player to find disappointment
at the Emirates if we don't rid the
club of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
like I've said before, Wenger is simply stating that Sanchez is staying so that he can regain some leverage when it comes time to make a deal and to shift the focus back squarely on Sanchez... this is 101 tactics in PR management... the very fact that he even mentioned RVP's name speaks to the utterance arrogance of a man that believes he answers to no one... before you harshly judge Sanchez think carefully about what the ultimate intentions of both parties involved... Sanchez wants to win trophies and get paid generously for his efforts, whereas the
club wants to pull the wool over our eyes once again so that we blame the
player for wanting the very things we told him we wanted when we brought him in... how many times do we have to go down this road before we realize the only common factor in each of these scenarios is the
club itself... trust me, if we showed any ambition Sanchez's contract demands would be much
different... just like in other major sports
players will take a «home town» discount if they see those in charge making a truly honest attempt to fight for the highest honours in their respective fields... that being said, if they see a team trying to make disparaging remarks about them in the press and not following through on their promises, they will likely try to make them pay a premium for their services or seek greener pastures... btw if anyone simply looks
at the score versus Bayern today and thinks that even for a second that this was a deserved victory, just watch the game and judge for yourself... actually save yourself the anguish and just know that if it weren't for Cech and Martinez this could have been a repeat of our Champions League flopping or worse
Despite always turning up for France, the case has unfortunately been very
different for the Frenchman

However, this expectation weighs heavy on
players, and heavy on managers too: José Mourinho's implosions

different.
