The mentality thing is as a result of Wenger.It's not the fault of the players coming in.But I get what you mean.You want us to sign players with strong attitude so that they can produce consistently.However this will not solve the problem if our team is mentally weak.We will still be doing the old things we've been doing trust me.Poor mentality and poor managerial skills have cost Arsenal the title on several occasions.To me the problem has not really been about the players we sign or having star players or the players in our team.It's been all about those two.The only thing that can solve this problem is by Wenger taking charge.We can sign 100players with strong mentality but once they enter our team the net effect will be zero.

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

Honestly, paulinho is a disgrace to a midfield that once boasted of xavi deco etc As for the others I don't think details are necessary, the bottom line is that for a board with a sporting director Barca made a huge mistake in allowing lucho sign such players (he wasn't responsible for paulinho but he gave them such ideas), from now on we should keep a group of world class players (like RM), coaches who Believe in our PHILOSOPHY only should come and use these players to give us our football back, valverde is not successful because of messi only, he is successful because the core of this team is a group of the most technically gifted and intelligent players in the world, the board knows this and so do RM, that's why we are chasing players like fdj, deligt, and even alaba, because once this core of la masia talent is gone we would be useless if there are no adequate replacements, this board must continue signing replacements for our core and for once!

Wenger has once agin showed how much of a poor manager he has become, wow so many things he got wrong today starting with our starting 11, Sanchez is waisted as striker, Ox should have started, Carzola ahead od Ramsey and Liverpool sign a player for 34mil he scores a wonder goal, we sign a player for 34mil bench him and then bring him on under seious presure, Wenger we need a forward ASAP who can make a goal outta nothing like Mane did, and we need Mahrez for his unperdictable dynamic, Wenger you are poor poor poor poor, gutter poor, go and coach a french ligue 4 side, you pub quaity manager.

Why would Alexis do that These days when a player signs as a «free agent» he will.ask for a signing on fee and his salary will be set high... depending upon his marketability.Defoe signed for Bournemouth on a «free» and received a very healthy fee himself as well as a reported # 100k a week.Imahine what Alexis could negotiate in January... and after that he can just about «shut up shop» as far as Arsenal are concerned... going through the motions until the end of the Season on preparation for the World Cup followed by his lucrative move to a new Club Once again Arsenal made the wrong decision and have shot themselves in both feet #shambles

There is no real answer to the question you have posed because this club has once again hedged their bets on doing the bare minimum then hoping for the best... if they were serious about changing the stagnant culture that has permeated the club since our move from the Highbury, we would have immediately released and / or moved several players in the early days of the window... this would have demonstrated to the fans that they were serious about addressing our obvious inadequacies... likewise this would have forced them to bring in replacements because they couldn't have used the lame excuse Wenger is presently spewing about having too many players... we functionally have the same amount of players as we did when the window first opened but he didn't say jack about it then... he simply waited until the inevitable happened then pulled out his excuse Rolodex, closed his eyes and randomly drew the «too many players» card... the more he opens his mouth, the more I understand his «god» complex when it relates to all things Arsenal... what other manager could continually do the same dumb shit, not address obvious concerns for years, speak to the fans in such a condescending manner, face enormous criticism from many of his former star players and be the architect of so many failed player signings yet be one of the highest paid managers with the longest tenure in Europe... maybe Kroenke is colourblind and instead of seeing all the red flags he can only see the GREEN ones ($ $ $)

There is no doubt that Bale needs to get the hell out of Real if he ever wants to be the kind of player he once was... this isn't to suggest that he his skills have diminished, he simply isn't the fiery, determined and aggressive player that struck fear in the hearts of his opponents... the small fish in a big pond just doesn't fit his profile... I can't even remember the last player I've seen who has become so invisible on the big stage (maybe Pogba last year)... maybe it's a case of culture shock or maybe he wasn't able to handle the notoriety that invariably came with his big money signing, but regardless of how it happened this guy is a shadow of his former self... although I doubt he would ever come to a team in such disarray, he could quite easily fill the shoes of Sanchez, who ironically was in a similar predicament in Barcelona, as Bale would return to his favoured left side and would be given the same freedoms that have allowed Sanchez to flourish... ultimately I think the cache of wearing a Real jersey and competing for the top trophies would be too difficult to give up for a wannabe club run by suits who care little about those kinds of accolades

It's pretty simple, either you get him to sign on the dotted line or you move him before the close of the window... once again this club is a laughing stock on the world soccer stage... Wenger is simply overcompensating for the years of offloading our best players to our detriment... Wenger says he's going to sacrifice by keeping him and letting him go free if need be?
