This is the season of strong fast forwards coz everyone is playing 343 and
welbeck can get up and down all day long with oxlade on the same
side as him today we over ran Chelsea on our left and willian was a puny
player bcoz of it!
Many Arsenal fans have never forgiven Wenger for selling Robin Van Persie to Man United and basically handing them the League title in the last year of Alex Ferguson's reign, and the only
player to move between the
sides since then has been the arrival at the Emirates of Danny
Welbeck, who has hardly set the League on fire since his arrival.
Perhaps Alexis would do better if Walcott replaced
Welbeck on the other
side as without Walcott and Ox, there are nearly zero runs to the outside from the forward
players.
but, im ok with this vardy transfer... it shows us many things: 1) wenger is changing, something some of us have been demanding for a long time; 2) it shows that wenger is taking risks: think about it, he is buying a men for a not cheap price, knowing he could not getting anything after, with a future sell i mean... this is an act that shows wengers intentions to win something, the buy is not motivated by any financial or economic reason but only for a «get the f epl once again» reason... this is an act that shows us hungry, even if we fail, we could said we try... first ever, we really try; 3) finally but very important... vardy is the kind of
player we need... he is a warrior, a fighter... he has character... look at how he celebrate his goals... full of energy... he, like alexis, can motivate the team when the things are not going in our way (something wenger cant do because of his age and because he has never been an active coach on the pitch)... the vardy transfer, if it finish well, is a demostration of a change, and a good one... lets take care of winning things and do nt look the economic
side for once... vardy is a bit old, but we can give a chance to
welbeck after maybe, or akpom... u are not thinking about the future when we talk about ibra... guys: u complain when wenger do nt spend or because he is always looking for the bargain when u are the guys who has to pay the very expensive tickets... u complain when wenger buy the always for the future guy... like morata... stop to complain for everything and be consequent with yourself... i would love auba, but it is not going to happen... lukaku is awesome but the asking price is stupid... lets try with vardy, give us the throphy..
I agree with the posters above regarding
Welbeck learning from training and playing along
side players with the finishing ability of Lacazette and Aubameyang.
Jenkinson was loaned out to try and improve his game enough for him to become a Gunner, and we have also seen the arrival of the England striker Danny
Welbeck and younf Calum Chambers, but have these
players developed into the English Core that Wenger was desperate to form the spine of the
side?
The gross mismanagement of Arsenal during June - Aug of this year is currently my feature case as a prototype of the worst possible bungling of personnel resources and mis - assignment of employee resources to roles (as just a few of many possible examples, sitting Kola & Laca last match, starting
Welbeck who couldn't hit the broad
side of a barn, playing Bellerin at LWB, third straight laughable team assignments in a row, seriously considering loaning out our 2nd best center back, letting multiple key
players enter the final year of contract, etc etc etc) imaginable.
The loss of two important
players comes as a major blow to an Arsenal
side already without the likes of Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain, Danny
Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky.
Tetra it's taken EllernyAwobi,
Welbeck and Sanches who is best on the right
side, to show what a waist those
players have been in helping the team.
Scholes claims
Welbeck would unquestionably be a starter in Manchester United's current
side, and he's furious with LVG and the Man United board for letting
Welbeck and a few other
players leave.
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
this window has just finished i am already thinking about who we will get for the january window we might try for khedira on a really low offer as he is free agent almost would help boost numbers in midfield in the new year as we will no doubt need to filling the numbers about then also i will hold my hands up and say i was wrong this morning for giving wenger stick and saying
welbeck is rubbish i have been out in the cold light of day and had a chance to reevaluate the situation and realized that this could be a canny shrew transfer on wenger behalf actually if wenger can turn the clock back and work his magic on
welbeck and get him scoring goals and improve his game then we could have a great underrated signing on our hands its wengers absolute trust in him that might be what makes him a great
player as this is something that he never had at old mordor if anybody can make him a world beater wenger can he loves this little pet projects improving
players against the odds
welbeck has the skillset to be high class
player upfornt he just needs to work very hard on his finishing i think once he gets a few goals under his belt he will settle in fine and he is a team
player you could put him on the left against man city to shore up that
side and he will put in a great shift without a complaint that could be his biggest asset to us or on the right whenever we need him there ithinkwenger might start himon the left against city to protect the left back against navas and i bet you if he does a great job we will take a shine to him quickly i am hopeing he will be one of those wenger gems that he finds and polishes up to a high finish i must admit i was annoyed as some other gunners were at not signing d / m and c / h but if wenger does win the league with this lot it will be his greatest win yet and what might play in to our hands is the unpredictable nature of the league in the last few seasons if we get on a good run at the right time we might be hard to stop look at city they should have never lost to stoke but the result is there in black and white for all to see and i think chelsea will hit the skids after a while to just because cesc and costa are doing well now thats there main threat but teams will work out how to stop them as the season goes on and chelsea will become predictable i think we might just do well this season after all
total failure... Can you believe Wenger spent 32 millions on 2 average
players (Chambers and
Welbeck) and is penny pinching when is sbout real class
players?What is in his mind?Pay a fortune in salary for mediocre
players live Walcott, Ramsey and Wilshere and have hesitations about increasing Sanchez wages... keeping on books failures like Sanogo... The truth is - I say it for years and years - until the «British core» disapears, we are not going to be succesful.The low quality of British
players is dragging the team back.Last time Arsenal was a powerhouse NONE of the first 11 was British.Wanna see how the British quality looks like in a football team - look no further than national
sides of England, Scotland, N Ireland, Wales, even Ireland (not British but same style)- all mediocre teams «able» to be defeated by any team coming to mind.And you are asking about Chambers?He is in the same mold like Wilshere,Walcott,Ox,Ramsey,Gibs,Jenkinson - mediocre overpriced and overpaid
players.The world is full with hungry, ambitious and skilled
players living in poverty and dreaming of moving to the top at any cost or sacrifice (did you see the poor house - if you can call that house, looking more like an old tent - in which Alexis Sanchez grew up?Or Suarez?)
And another season just like the last one less Sanchez to bail us out... But on the plus
side we have
Welbeck back who, as Wenger would say is «like signing a new
player»
Alexis Sanchez has been Arsenal's most valuable
player since joining the club back in 2014, but pundits are claiming that Danny
Welbeck is more important to our
side at present.
I mean Christ Danny
Welbeck was let go for just slightly less than lucas Perez and Wenger wasn't even in the country when he was bought in, what does that tell you about the club and its ambitions????? if you added up the money spent on oriental and Japanese
players who we NEVER see play in an arsenal shirt over the last ten years, we could have brought in half the Barcelona
side including Messi so you tell me what THATS all about??? its a disgrace, and Giroud acting like a football god because he scored and equalizer really just epitomises the whole messed up attitude and THAT starts with Wenger and his «its not my fault it was the ref» attitude its stinks
Should Wilshere lose out on his place in the final 23, we will have zero
players within the England squad, following Theo Walcott's failure to earn a place in Roy Hodgson's
side, along with Danny
Welbeck's disappointing injury absence.
I am not just talking about our wide forward either, although the boss does have a tricky choice on whether to use the pace, power and work rate of Danny
Welbeck on the other
side to Alexis Sanchez, or whether to go with a more technical
player like Santi Cazorla or Mesut Ozil.
I know allot of fans like Martial, in all honesty I'd take
Welbeck over Martial, he has time on his
side but Welbz is sill young too, at this moment Welbz is twice the
player AM is.
People will sing
Welbeck to rescue but forget that the threat that Lacazette provides gives the defenders of the other
side (CSKA) headaches that they forget to fully cover other
players — Like
Welbeck.
It is going to be a bit of a battle at White Hart Lane and I would want
Welbeck on my
side in that situation because he is willing to use his strength and he is a very honest and unselfish
player.
Though Danny's
Welbeck's tussle with Emre Can on Arsenal's left - hand -
side will be another key battle to look forward to, the aforementioned
player duels will carry greater significance and, in many ways, be decisive in the way this game takes shape.
Delighted for
welbeck and pleased for Mr long ball ox on a
side note the Southampton
player taking hoiberg made me chuckle!
I hope wenger sees these and benches ozil when he doesn't deliver to have a taste of Wilshere, but never wenger, he prefers his best on the pitch than giving willing and passionate
players chances, the likes of Campbell, Gabriel, Gibbs instead of easy monreal, Perez shud av played more last season e.t.c, I hope to say xhaka, Ramsey, Wilshere in front of them, Sanchez / Perez if Sanchez goes, lacazette /
welbeck upfront, giroud as sub, Gabriel along
side koscielny and kolasinic, bellerin and gibbs / monreal as full backs, I want szesny back as back up to cech and Martinez as understudy.................. but I won't get it cos it is wenger......... smh

players like Laurent Koscielny, Santi Cazorla, Danny
Welbeck and the goal machine Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal were in fine form as they thrashed an abject Galatasaray
side 4 - 1 in Istanbul on Tuesday night.
