wonder what the hell he was doing for the first 82 games of the
season?
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

season striker a ruthless guy that will bury that one occasion.

players Monaco don't want to leave are Mbappe and Lemar.The only thing that is making it a possibility is the fact that he wants the Arsenal move and is demanding it.Funny enough over the past

players in the same Lemar scenario if you get me.However, people called them one seson
wonders but seem to think Lemar isn't.
Mesut Ozil is widely considered to be the most important
player for our side, due to his immense consistency last

wonder why Hayden was sold as I think he could have surely done better and if Isaac Hayden solves his injury problems we gonna regret selling him.Even aliens know arsenal needs a CB.Aren't you guys tired of always starting the

players in positions where needed.It's like some of you want failure but you don't know you want.Arsenal should complete the squad this
season.It's a must.

season wonders.

season, just put down two so we don't have all the questions and
players wondering whats gonna happen.
Let's get real here.It is very unlikely that ANY professional
player will ever say anything derogatory about a teammate that has just left the club.If Jack had said about Coq - «Grew up playing with him in the Youth Team and have fond memories of a
player they though he had very limited ability he always gave his all.Very surprised and disappointed the club never invested in a World Class defensive midfielder that we have quite obviously been lacking for a number of
seasons and would no doubt have improved the defensive weakness we have shown over a number of
seasons» we would have echoed his thoughts entirely.If he had said about Theo - «A
player who should have been so much better than he ended up being.He had everything needed to be a prolific
player for our club but I can understand the fans frustrations with his continued lack - lustre performances and total lack of a football brain.I think this is best explained by the managers preference to play a
player of such limited ability as Alex Iwobi in front of Theo pretty much says it all» we again would have all nodded our agreement.Although Jack never mentioned Alexis Sanchez I would imagine something along the lines of «If the Manager had not persisted with
players with such limited ability such as Francis and Theo and instead bought the world class
players needed into the club then Sanchez would still most likely be here.The fans must
wonder what the hell goes on at the club as they pay fortunes for the privalage of following our club but it seems the millions generated ends up purchasing a new Texas Ranch for the Owner or in a yearly renumeration of # 9million pounds to our manager».
Giroud as much as I like the
player & his game (work rate, build up plays, flicks, headers, occasional
wonder goal) is not & never will be a 25 + goals /
season striker that is simply not who he is in the EPL.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where
players play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current
players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play of Monreal, but none of these
players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last
season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off -
season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last
season... it always made me
wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive
players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a
player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the
players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this
player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the
season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3
players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill
players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a
player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6
players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
i think this could officially be the start of the end for wenger his blind arrogance has cause him to buy welbeck in the sheer belief that AGAINST THE ODDS HE CAN BEAT THE REST OF THE BIG 4 WITH ONE ARM BEHIND HIS BACK we should be buying top top top european c / l standard
players not sunderland spuds everton standard
players thats about welbecks standard of club in all truthful reality he is an honest hard working
player but wenger thinks he can coach the mediocrity out of him he is truely insane its a guaranteed source of goals we need not more fancy hold up play and «pace» and missing chance after chance so the postman is to be joined by the manchester metro tram absolute disgrace he has kidded on ozil and sanchez they must be
wondering what is going on atm they are seeing the true wenger now just panicking and not panicking very well to that effect and for some reason wenger has gone all kinky for english
players for some strange reason at least chambers has great potential welbeck has past that stage and is a
seasoned pro now and he is no where near what we need wenger is trying to show how great he is by whiping the back out of the same
players week after week in the vain hope that he can win the league without rotating ever and they will get injured and he wont have learned his lesson and we will pay for it in the end best last day transfer would have been a 4 year contract for klopp

No
wonder every ex-Wenger
player only has good things to say about their former boss, because we know he barely even shouts at anyone, gives them too much freedom on the pitch, and gives
players almost limitless opportunities to impress, even if that means keeping a
player at the club for decade just to get one or two good
seasons out of them.
His Bills

We as the Arsenal need to do our part in becoming a place where the highest dreams of
players are realized, even if we don't always win trophies, we need to at least always have a «Genuine» fighting chance, Real Madrid went a number of
seasons chasing La Decima, spent loads of cash, played second fiddle to Barca for a few
seasons even but still
players still dreamed of playing for them in that period, we as fans need to grow up too and stop bitching and whining especially about our
players, we create a toxic atmosphere for these guys when we do so and it doesn't help nobody, little
wonder our
players perform better away than they do at home.
If
players like Kondogbia, Imbula, Sissocko, Pogba (usually first choice), Matuidi and Mavuba are already fighting for the first spot (all of them are just better than Coquelin and Schneiderlin is a better and more experienced
player too) I
wonder where someone like Coquelin, who had half of a good
season, would pretend starting for France...!!
Sometimes I
wonder what's wrong with arsenal board A few
seasons ago man utd got our best
player rvp but instead we buy crap
players from them like welbeck and silvestre
We should sell Coq this very window for 50mil before next
season comes n he slumps in performance like most one -
season -
wonder arsenal
players!!
The 28 - year - old Billups surely

Whilst I hate Antony Krastrinakis with every fibre in my body he did make a good and reasoned point regarding Bale yesterday — said the world record deal to RM was stupid and undeserved — Ronaldo went to RM as PFA
Player of the Year, Ballon D'Or winner, UCL and PL winner and 40 odd goals under his belt in the previous
season — Bale went there on the back of his first good
season, half a dozen
wonder goals and no medals and titles.
That's a lot of games combined with the regular
season and international play (which many top
players participate in), so you have to
wonder if Pittsburgh will run out of gas at some point, especially given how it has walked the tight rope winning games despite losing the possession battle.
