a settled squad of players, same as United when they were successful, they had a core of settled players then added one or two big signings a season.
Not exact matches
there is still time, but the idea should be to get
players in early so they are
settled for the next season, tis waiting game whilst most
of our rivals improve their
squads is frustrating, because this happens ever year.We've needed a Dm and a St for at least the last 3 seasons at least
He is unable to manage a
squad of 22 world class
players so
settles for 3 world class
players 8 - 10 good quality and the rest are
of lesser quality and therefore reasonably happy to sit on the bench occasionally.
Settled squad of quality
players, and top class goalkeepers.
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable
of endless gallic bullshit....4 th place junkies wetting themselves over 3rd place finish should realise that other teams will be strengthening in summer definitely the others in top 4 and always a surprise or two outside... wenger has f @@@@@ us over for ten years now selling top
players and bringing in a string
of jokers... yes that changed with ozil and sanchez... but giroud coquelin and monreal while all decent and can help us to another 4th place but not beyond that (coquelin could still be a top class
player but ai nt there yet) walcott and podolski will never deliver and merteshaker would not be in any other top 15 team in europe... so the idea that the
squad is on the cusp
of greatness is moronic and confirmed by end
of season performance... we need four quality signings but i would
settle for two (attacker plus DM) and an upgrade (left back)..
«Over the last few seasons we have sold some
of our bigger

squad is really
settled now and we've done the business early this year.
The only advantage Arsenal have over Utd, City and Chelsea is that it will take a bit
of time for their new manager's to get familiar with their
squad of player's, aswell as their new signings needing time to
settle into the team and the premier league's physical style
of football.
(1) this
squad has way too many moving parts and very few
of our
players are good enough at their preferred position let alone relying on them in whatever position Wenger and his magic eight ball decide in the tunnel prior to the game... when teams do this it generally signals issues within the club, much like Jose last year and Van Gael before him... no one gets
settled, the chemistry is almost non-existent and if provides a built - in excuse when the team comes up short... these issues fall squarely on Wenger, both for his decisions regarding
players coming in and for his inability to rid the team
of those
players who aren't cutting it... in actually fact we have only 6 real starters on this current
squad and that's being generous (Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette, Sead, Kos & Cazorla)... which is discouraging because Cazorla is injured and might never play again, Sanchez is wanting out and the club is lying to us about his injury status, Lacazette receives no service, Ozil is relatively disinterested out there, Kos is getting up there and Sead is just trying to
settle in... there isn't a single other
player that would start regularly on any
of the other top 3 teams, which should be the standard... imagine this team moving forward if Wenger only sells before the window closes
As for the
players, the preferred first XI has started to
settle, those on the bench are contributing, and the vast majority
of the
squad have responded positively to the new regime.
well every season I cme with the same optimism that nxt season is our year.then we face the so called big boys, we get hammered and I always ask myself how and why were we nt able to win.then wenger after an accidental twiq to the
squad finds the reason why ARSENAL was poor.I.e emergence
of coq showed him that we needed a world class dm addition what does he do
settles for average.this season also striking department pissnpoor.I love iwobi but his emergence shows neednof a world class
player there.now, every year I sit hoping wenger learns but I hve learned that he wilp not learn.the guys is blind just seeing the favourisim in the club shows that.his blind with faith and fears benching his favourite players.we need someone qho will see the problem and rectify it, pple hve pointed out for him the problm yet he he is still blind.I hope he prooves me wrong but I wouldn't entertain another year
of ifs and thebbiggest if will be why didn't we change guard.if fans will entertain another year
of heroic fourth place run in, all I can say webr killing our club open ur eyes before reality gives us a part two coz its has realy kicked us in the gut this season showing us the truth.its arsenal I I love coyg!!
We would be able to win the title with this team, injuries would always be a problem but this would potentially leave the likes
of Flamini, Arteta, Santi, Rosicky, Diaby etc as
squad rotation
players, however I don't think Santi would
settle for that and I have a feeling he may be off in the summer seeing as he'll be 30 - 31 by that time.
Though, with the changes proposed for next year, I believe the majority
of fans will be happy as
squads will be
settled prior to the season commencing; fans will know the score and speculation and uncertainty about their star
players will lessen.
