Before you get too wound up, I should tell you that as well as the players all having been team mates of Ozil's down the years, he did pick Gnabry with a cheeky grin, as you can see on the video in this Metro report, and he also reveals the reason is that the young Gunner was sat right next to him at the time and Gnabry does look like he has the strength to tie the older German up in knots.

giroud, lecoq, are gud backups to hve in the squad but not a first team player for a team wanting to challenge for epl.coq has got to improve slightly on the ball but off the ball he is gud.everyone knows about giroud and I don't think a gud striker is enough for us.we need a very clinical guy not a guy who will be going through dry patches coz thats guaranteed from a gud striker.gibbs is tricky he is a gud option to hve on the bench but if we scout someone younger and better than him then I think we can sell him for both the clubs sake and himself coz he hasn't progressed as a player.what I find shocking is bellerin back up is jenkinson worth a team challenging for epl?I don't think so and we should find an able guy there than fool ourselves and next season we pay for mistakes again.

Of course the self appointed special one is reluctant to shoulder the blame for three defeats in a week but as the former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown pointed out in a Daily Mail report, things could soon get even worse for Jose and his new club if he keeps blaming young players like the left back Luke Shaw.

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

I would taken a draw at the start of the match though with David Luiz sent off we could off won it, we should take it as a positive though, we should now give our best players a much earned rest and give the younger players a chance

For me, Nelson looks like he could and should be a top - top player as Wenger would say but he needs a manager who knows how to develop young talent and instill some discipline.

Gideon zelalem would be a good young player that should be loaned out to ajax, to get some playing time as well as experience!

I for one feel his natural and best position will always be at box to box.The fact that he's tactically indisciplined doesn't mean it's not his position.The problem with him is that he intentionally decides to neglect his duties.He plays like a box to box player and since he was young many of us saw him as a CM.If he wasn't playing at No. 10 at Wales people wouldn't have suggested in Arsenal he should be playing there which suggests that the problem is not with the position but the player himself.The guy likes to be everywhere on the pitch and that is clearly a trait of a box to box player.

which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course

As for Xhaka, his # 35 million price tag gives me hope he will be an awesome addition but we should still look for a young Cazorla type player who can also cover Ozil

Basically Wenger is becoming more inept with every passing season.He has no comprehension whatsoever of the meaning of the word defence.It has passed him by.He has succeeded in turning a very promising young centre back like Holding into a bag of nerves.Holding is a right sided centre back who should be used as the main ball winner in the air.His job should be to win the ball and give it quickly to more gifted players.

He still retains his talent in front of goal but his global experiences should have given him a good basis for being a successful coach, especially with his inside knowledge of how Wenger does his job, so should Arsenal bring him to the Emirates as a boost for the younger players (for now!)?

Well said Sean, I would only add that Wenger has a wonderful opportunity to test some of his younger players in the remaining League matches as there is little at stake.The likes of Holding, Maitland Niles, Neilsen etc should surely be given a chance with an run of games to test their mettle.

The manager has got to grow tactically otherwise we will most likely still suffer injuries as usuall, i mean y should one field same players and some of which in wrong positions for 4games in period of two weeks continuousely leaving the young energetic n» hungry ones on the bench while we struggle 2get wins?

John fox I agree with what you say about young players let other teams develop them I could support Belerin a bit more but I do belive he wanted out so his not a true Arsenal, him and others should look at Sanchez what his going through with all that talent, I'm just saying that other teams are not so accommodating as many Arsenal players who left to find out, and about Lucas we could of used him this season but he wanted out and now look what's happening to him, I think OG will not have a successful time at Chelse, OX is in a same situation as he was at Arsenal the only thing is his secured a CL spot for next year, the grass is defenetly not greener on the other side of the fence,

I strongly believe that Iwobi should go to the olympics to continue his development as a young player, However, i understand the reason why he wants to stay with arsenal and i do not think it has anything to do with the players we have out from the various tournaments, but as to do with the chance he may lose his spot in the squad to one of the other youth stars

Especially if Campbell ends up leaving as well, this is a young player we should NOT pass up on...

Bale is staying in Real, Ronaldo will retire soon, Samper is overrated, as I said before any skill full midfielder with a front three of MSN looks top top, Jese loved by Madrid but like Isco and every young player at Madrid in the last decade he won't be first team player and will most likely be sold, don't need Modric, we have Cazorla and Wilshere, it sounds deluded but a in form Wilshere is as good as Modric and in terms of replacing Cazorla we should go for Isco.

However in my opinion the 3 younger players should be loaned out anyway as the are clearly not better than the other players in their position.

i think weve had a good transfer so far buddy we all wanted a decent c b brought in,, done,, hopefully hes a good buy we will see he brought a young prospect d m who could turn out good the coq should be givern a chance this season then add another decent tough player with footballing ability in summer, arteta and flamini can cover the coq in easier games till then so all in all weve done ok especially as alot were slatting wenger that he would do nothing also got deadline day maybe a good loan winger?

As a rule when it comes to buying young talents, we should only buy the most gifted players at their respective positions.

The good news for the Hammers is that, considering Roma tend to sell a lot of their best young talent, as well as the fact they have loaned Skorupski out for the last two years, the player should not be too expensive.

Leeds looking at a quality young player should come as no surprise as their has been a renewed focus on youth and rebuilding the Academy.

Stop buying players that would be hugely paid to bring down ManU... Clyne is a better option, still 21, Bring in Kane with Dybala & Let VP with Falcao go, Memphis Depay (the golden boy) should be brought in, let Evans go for Laporte, Varane & defence marshal (Hummel) & not forgetting the midfield bring in strootman, Vidal & Alcantara, then build our young ones in the likes of Pereira, Powell, Lingard, Januzaj, let one of Blackett & McNair go on loan to learn, NB - Nani & Hernandes would be back, so there would be enough competition & options as far as we are playing all competition, definitely once the CL is confirmed I believe De'Gea would sign a New deal, so Van Gaal, work hard to earn a CL spot 3rd for that matter!

Why can't people for God sake understand the angle the young man was coming from, this is a guy who has come out to suggest what he feel will be of great glory to the team, futbol is about winning trophy not the samba, champaign, tick taka or jambody style Of playwill be accredited to ur cv after retirement, every professional player will wants to be identify with a medal, mind you he have limited years to his career, therefore we should not allow sentment or affections we have for our various teams erode the basic objective of the game.we should also think about their future too, this guys are proffessionals which young lads are looking up to and questions will be ask tomorrow about theirs playing days.can people tell me why pele and some other famous players in the world both present and past are been celebrated today the answer is simply cos they are successful in their career and have trophy to show for it in their respective clubs or countries, why the complain in nigeria?its simply cos our team for quite a while now has not recorded any troph to her glory, fans should learn how to call a spade a spade in order to balance situation and also for better performance of the team.why then did arsene wenger hurridly went to buy more experienced players after the poor outing he had at the beggining of last season?this players know beta cos they are at the centre of it all, we don't have to trash what they say, we fans are only watching from screen, in as much as we beliv in arsen wenger, we should also know that without the boys no arsen wenger, fans should try to reason along with the players too.an hypotetical cases of similar to rvp has been tested by some players and have put them right over the coach and the team.so, whatelse does the fans needs to prove that futbol has gone beyond living in the past.for example, fabrigas and nasri were able to prove their critics wrong.thank God for them, we should always be objective in our submission, how else do we expect players to show their commitment to a team that was in 8 on the log table and later fought their way back to 3rd this boys are commendable and deserve to be encouraged, I think is high time the manager and the mgt board of arsenal futbol team get to know that game of futbol has gone beyond two teams domination, its now like a pendilum which can swing either way only with a powerful insrument called money.you can't eat ur cake and have.
