Its looking
like he is building a new team I support Mr wenger why sell sachez now for 40 million while his replacement will cost us 80 million we need to get
players of good
quality first and then we can let go and I am sure if a club comes in with 80 million for sanchez Mr wenger will go for it savilla keep the ball well and circulates the ball well so many back passes to retain position they play a shape
of 3331 and very close there was no gaps and they were not afraid to dig in to our
players I must admit i
like their system....
Having a
player like podolski, boosted morale in the dressing room and strengthened the
quality in depth
of our squad, long may it continue.
But we simply don't have the same
quality all over the pitch or at least in 2 areas that could've made the difference: 1) The strikers: I
like all 3
of our
player but Giroud for all his build up play, physical presence & occasional wonder goal but he is not a 30 goals / season striker a ruthless guy that will bury that one occasion.
but cummon... You ALWAYS have a
player that you needlessly slag off with no basis whatsoever other than you don't
like them or feel they're up to your evaluation
of «Arsenal
quality.»
Arsene Wenger has often spoken about how he sees things
like team spirit, unity and togetherness in the Arsenal dressing room as important as having individual
players of the very best
quality.
Maybe Xhaka wouldn't have such a free ride if AFC invested in getting
quality players instead
of bargain buys
like ElNeny and relying on Coquelin?
Teams
like Chelsea and Manchester City has adopted Arsenal's old free flowing football with a similar array
of quality players like our «Invincibles», very strong defenders and yet a fluid attack.
Palace can not afford to spend such large sums
of money on
players every week, whom in reality are probably more
like reserve
quality than starting eleven, especially at Arsenal.
Where is the world class DM or a
player of notable
quality that will play there when we play european giants
like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea etc..
1 yhing says it all about this club really barca widely regarded as one
of if not the best team in the world continue sign
quality players like umtiti and gomes.
We need at least five
quality players a defender, goalkeeper, a defensive midfielder, a attacking midfielder and a striker Though winning the f.a cup did take a bit
of pressure
of him only time will tell There got to be a new structure at the club, and get rid
of the also rans
like Lucas Perez, Jenkinson, debuchy and sagono for starters
I disagree.A wingback can be viewed as a defensive winger.Whether the Ox
likes it or not he's been blessed with the
qualities of a winger.To me that's his best position.He's only doing well as a wingback because
of his attacking abilities.As I said earlier a wingback can be viewed as a sort
of defensive winger.That's why CB's who are used as RB or LB can not play wingback.Wingback needs the
player to be able to adapt himself
like a winger while also being solid defensively.Ox has the attacking part but not the defensive part.With Bellerin we have the best
of both worlds.He can attack, defend and also has the speed necessary to play wingback.I fear Ox being played at wingback will cost us when we play teams with tricky wingers.He should rather be challenging Sanchez or Ozil for their positions and not wingback.The guy hates to always have to defend which in truth he can't.
Some
of fans just
like to see
players run around but without
quality products.
the guy loves this type
of players remember what he said about ozil a while back» if you love football you love ozil» im not worried about it i think that as soon as we sign alexia & ozil santi will be the next one in line in getting a new improved contract i, d
like to think that if well managed if you could play for us for another 3 years at least look at tr7 injuries were his problem otherwise he still had the
quality to play for us in his last years!
If we are saying we missed on Schweinsteiger even at 31, I'd agree with you, I we were complaining about not getting Ibra, I'd agree but most
of these other
players are not tried and tested at highest levels
of the game we'd
like to compete at, Cech is
quality, Sanchez is
quality, Suarez is
quality, Aguero is
quality, Ozil is
quality, Fabregas is
quality.
-- consistent injury issue — no signings (when we need them and there are better
players out there than we have in our team / squad)-- no strength in depth (kids, or not sufficient
quality bought)-- no consistency in performance (motivation)-- tactical nativity and inflexibility —
players played out
of position or too Many
like minded
players accommodated in same line up.
It seems
like the board has a template
of transfer policy in which first they buy a
quality player like cech was last summer and alexis was before that and now it's xhaka.They just give you enough so that the guys who are season ticket holders would renew their tickets.Then the Dilly dallying begins we show as if we are going for top
players and make cheap offers for them so the selling club would not sell them and they could say hey!
We don't have replacements lined up Immediately after we sell a
player like TV5??????? Terrible habit
of not replacing
players with equal or better
quality.
Your post is pretty long and full
of hot air and here is why, we Never had a chance
of resigning rvp because
like Sanchez he was ambitious and as for Chelsea finshing 10th let's face it they just wanted mourinho out and they kept all their best
players and added
quality one thing that wenger has forgotten how to do and as for Leicester city they are an anomaly and they weren't realistically gonna defend their trophy.
Until those positions are filled with
quality players, the
likes of Arteta, Flamini and Per are always prone to making mistakes, no matter how much fight and passion we are putting on the pitch.
Playing alongside the lethal Harry Kane up front, Eriksen has had plenty
of quality to aim at up front, but he's surely good enough to have a similar influence over a
player like Lukaku.
at this point if this
player is what Wenger defines as
quality while the
likes of Suarez, lewa n Auba are just money and quantity then i give up.
I certainly
like the idea that Wenger still wants to strengthen the central defence, despite the signing
of the Brazilian Gabriel from Villarreal in January and Subotic is a
quality player.
Wenger knows the
quality of his
players and certainly will not learn anything more in preseason games
like Lens which was less intense than an over 60's Sunday morning kick about.
As for the so called knowledgeable pundits just look at the track record
of the
likes of Souness, Keane, Shearer and Neville.All very fine ex
players who do seem to have a lot
of class when it comes to the
quality of their suits
Top class
players earning only a little more than rubbish / average
players make no sense in terms
of: struggling to sell rubbish / average
players because no one will match their ridiculous wages, contract renewals (as we're seeing with the
likes Sanchez and Ozil, not to mention other top
players who have left in the past), and in terms
of attracting top
quality players.
I
like the fact that he has confidence in the
players available to him but surely the Frenchman must see that another
quality player or two would significantly increase our chances
of winning the Premier League title next May.
Again, we a good
quality player can come in for free (
like we got Kolasinac), does the fact that such a
player is free or came in for less than he would normaly cost mean that your team is not
of good
quality?
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at Arsenal without looking at the big picture...
like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier success by acquiring
players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much
like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive
qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead
of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the
likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German team versus his time at Arsenal are the
players around him and we all know who is in charge
of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
If we
like a
quality to
player I believe we should pay the asking price and leave out the cheap skate offers
of whatever million and one pound offers.
On the other side
of the equation, he leaves gaping holes,
like CB's lack
of quality and the decade long cavernous hole at CDM, to be filled by incompetant and hopeless
players.
Of course, losing wingers Robben and Ribery will have forced his hand slightly here, but it still shows a lack of a Plan B that Pep couldn't bring out a similar threat from other players like Gotze and Muller, who can both play wide, or indeed use Lahm in his preferred position of right - back and utilise his quality from there — in fact, the former Germany captain's use as a midfielder since this manager's arrival is one of many examples of his attempts at tactical innovation going wron

However, the sale
of top
quality players like Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri at the beginning
of the season, and the subsequent failure to replace those
players with footballers
of similar
quality is clearly costing Arsenal.
Man U's attack isn't in the same league as Arsenal's, but they have a lot
of quality in the middle
of the park and
players like Smalling Rojo, and Darmain should be able to cope with Vardy.
we need to have a strong start & start with a very strong squad from the beginning isntead
of the regular rubbish we are used to, signing
players late, kolasinac, Mahrez,, a
quality CB (tho per surprised me in the FA Cup final), a world class CM if Santi carzola & wilshere fail to stay fit and one CF to replace dead wood
like sanogo & akpom....
Coz he knows he is not surrounded by enough
quality players to win top trophies...
Of course he's pissed... Wenger needs to make a statement of intent in this window to keep players like him on boa

In fact, I'm sure Wenger said last year or year before something
like this: If a
quality player knocks on my door, I will
of course open it.
in addition to that if we need to sell any
player it should be the
likes of Sanogo, Debuchy, Jenkinson and if we must add
players it should be
of high
quality like Aubameyang, Reus, Griezmann
Chelsea only slowed spending in recent years because they went totally ham in the years prior, they are stacked full
of good youth (they sold a lot
of quality young
players too) and Roman seems to have little appetite for overspending now but they still have bigger resources than us and better facilities just
like City a fact people gloss over and the result
of the overspending on youth sees them recoup money that they then use to spend whilst it looks
like they are not spending (also got lucky with the price inflation directly after they went crazy on youth and the regularity
of their China deals is sketchy at best.)
To Thomas Tuchel's credit, he's been active in the transfer market himself in bringing in the
likes of Ousmane Dembele, Marc Bartra and Emre Mor, but he'll certainly feel the loss
of a
player of Mkhitaryan's
quality while Mourinho will be the biggest winner if a deal is secured.
Another
player whose signing looked
like a genuine coup this summer, Alderweireld is a seasoned Belgian international who has played for the
likes of Ajax and Atletico Madrid — he has used his experienced and
quality to good effect since signing for Southampton.
Aside from the goal though, he's been one
of, if not the best,
players on the pitch in the last two games, as his all - round technical
quality on the ball is making a huge different for Fernando Santos and his men, and he looks
like he is going to relish playing a pivotal role in Guardiola's side next season and beyond.
Arsenal fans 2013: arsenal need a top
quality cdm and st arsenal fans 2014: arsenal need a top
quality cdm and st arsenal fans 2015: arsenal need a top
quality cdm and st arsenal fans 2016: arsenal need a top
quality cdm and st wenger i will buy 10 cam until i buy top cdm and st. i
like goals to be shared by 10
players but i do nt want striker to block the cohesion
of the team by getting 30 goals by himeslf.
After losing Luis Suarez to Barcelona last summer, the Reds will be desperately short
of quality up front if Sterling leaves as well, but the arrival
of a
player like Gaitan could make all the difference for Brendan Rodgers as he looks to steer the club back into the top four in 2015/16.
Ox missed a great chance at the weekend and again today, this guy just lacks the awareness and shooting
quality,
like most
of the other
players in this team.
Grandad both Wilshere and Welbeck will be playing for the
likes of Everton or West Ham next season which is their true level.Both good
players and would prove good squad
players but I would get their wages off the payroll and get better
quality in.We need to improve the Team and keeping them will not do that
Darron Gibson,
like John O'Shea, is said to be a
player Steve Bruce wants to bring to Sunderland to give his Stadium
of Light more
quality as he looks to push on from last season's top ten finish.
Why not sign Chicharito and put an end to this hulabaloo.The guy has
quality and I've watched him enough to know he's not the kind
of player who'll be missing chances.His best attribute is his movement and speed.He finishes chances off
like world class
players and can beat his man very well.In fact he always causes trouble and keeps opposition
players on their toes.
In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch
of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all
of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because
of our present formation, looks
like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured
player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks
like he has no intention
of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average
players who couldn't make any
of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top
quality and no good team can afford to have that many average
players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure
of this club to provide him with the necessary
players up front, minus Sanchez
of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much
like Wenger's)
Big in your list I can agree that all these
players would improve us, but let's look at our CB At the moment Kos, top
player but is struggling with a inj which may or may not heal, at the moment he isn't match fit so not up to his own high standard, so needs help or a defender
of his
quality so he can go and recover properly So then we have Mert, too slow and no longer good enough, I'm not sure if he's even good enough for 3 rd choice CB, too slow, poor on the air for his size and not brave enough, he's lasted this long due to Kos he needs a Top class CB just to allow him to play against average teams Ok now Reid not top class we can all agree so we couldn't really play him with MERT as he isn't Kos
quality so can't cover merits deficiencys He could be ok with Kos but Kos is struggling So is Reid what we need???? And finally Wenger if he has all 3 fit will still play Kos / Mert first choice Oh and God forbid we play MERT / Reid against the top teams
like Chels / city / utd / Southampton Chuckle chuckle
