I'm going to repeat what I said earlier... this team actively pursued a policy to undermine the relationship between the fans and the best player on this team... for all intent and purposes this is a traitorous act... so instead of spending money, which all pundits and fans agreed was necessary in order to compete at the highest levels, this club was wasting time and money trying to turn fans against Sanchez long before the end of the season (the real concerted effort started around the time that Wenger benched him for the start of the Liverpool game)... for a team that pertains to be different, like a FAMILY, and constantly questions the tactics of it's opponents, to engage in such a treasonous act is deplorable

This isn't a case of «what have you done for me lately» as that would imply that things went off the rails fairly recently, and it's certainly not a change simply for the sake of change scenario, as we're not so naive to believe that this alone would guarantee long - term success, this is a measured response based on YEARS of questionable decisions, failed tactics, boardroom blunders, unprecedented losses and a level of dishonesty never before seen at our club.

These young guns will only get a chance to prove themselves at top level if and only if arsenal make massive signings that will give us a major trophy... if we are for example leading the league in like seven points in February, then we can afford to give them some minutes on field but they wont get game time on the current team cz the manager realizes that the club needs trophies and hez running out of time so i even doubt he will use them in capital one cup... Good luck boys

nice to see you crawl out of your hole just in time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid to bring strong personalities and / or world - class players into the fold without being fearful of how said players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry to RVP to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy to see that this club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending to be a world - class soccer club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done to my beloved club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team to pretend to follow

Up front we have a few world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than in North London, but the club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing in this mess... Lacazette, who I think has some world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off

So now he has done his job (very well I might add) then perhaps we can't get get out of that thrifty mindset, and maybe he should hand on the reins to someone who is NOT scared to buy the right players to take the club to the next «exceptional» level?

He could give a tuppence f@ck about the success of am «English soccer team» So with this in mind you have to remember that success on the pitch is absolutely the last thing that the board is after, Sanchez WILL be sold because A) he want far more money than the board are willing to pay him and B) he knows that the club are NOT seeking to up Thier game or compete on a higher level.

why was Sanchez truly playing... no one believes he was too injured to play to start the season, and some like myself would go as far to suggest he wasn't injured at all... so why play him... they can't say it was to appease the fans because when was that ever a factor at this club except when «panic buys» were in the offing... I believe that this was to give Arsenal a little leverage when it comes to negotiating his transfer... just imagine their horrible bargaining position if Sanchez never saw the field before the deadline then heading back to South America and played for Chile... regardless of the facts, this was sadly again another example of a team putting business ahead of fielding a team with the greatest chance to secure 3 points... of course, some will say that Sanchez is, or was, our best player, so obviously he's a no - brainer to start, but those who really watch the game know that his heart hasn't been truly in it for quite some time... even at the end of last season you could see a definitive difference between the Sanchez who played for Chile and the one that played for Arsenal... that being said, 70 % of Sanchez is still better than a 100 % of the vast majority of our remaining roster... shame on you Arsene and shame on you too Sanchez for that telling smirk... I've supported your attempt to push this squad to the next level but don't pretend for a second that you didn't know you were being watched... don't lower your standards or you'll end up like this club, on the outside looking in

his comments abt man city spending to justify not spending sums up his intentions.AND TO KNOW THAT THE MAN HAS GOT SO MANY OTHER FRANCHISES / CLUBS IN USA JUST GOES ONTO SHOW HE AI NT SERIOUS WITH EITHER OF THEM, RATHER ITS ALL ABT ACQUIRING MORE WEALTH.COS LETS BE HONEST, U CANT MANAGE WELL SO MANY TEAMS.IF AN OWNER REALLY HAD ANY INTENTION TO IMPROVE, THEN THEY WUD HAV MAYBE 1 OR AT MAX 2 TEAMS AND FOCUS ON THEM.i maybe wrong, but stan gives me all the wrong vibes.whatever ppl say abt man city, i got ta admit they are giving their best for the club.a good finance manager and a level - headed coach will fix their problem of excessive spending!

I suppose in Italy they may rate their teams and clubs as more important than we do here, so I won't abuse him too much for claiming that Napoli are on levels with us, when they only have two cup wins to boast since for their last 25 years, and only have four finishes in the top four since 2008...

Joining a club of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured of all players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for other greener pastures.He was a clear talented footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to get used to the rythm of the game.With time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very good at first but wenger found a way to reduce his level of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him run and run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much better player than this.Theo walcott - Another player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top of that another player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared to during his time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many years.That is why each and every player are what they are because of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7 years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge team while the rest is in your court.It is not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsibility

even when he suffered a serious knee injury, instead of accepting the fact that he would never stick his legs into the spaces that were crucial for someone with straight ahead speed to succeed, the club actually contemplated giving him a chance to play up top where his lack of physicality, size and holding up play talents would been on display for all to see... these are not the actions of a club that really cares about winning at the highest levels, but they are the actions of a club that wasn't interested in spending the necessary resources to purchases a world - class striker, which is usually the most expensive position on the pitch... instead we adopted the horrible phrase «like a new signing» and proceeded to allow this ridiculous experiment to carry on, which ultimately caused some discomfort on the training pitch and inside the locker room as players battled for a position that shouldn't have been theirs for the taking in the first place... don't get me wrong, I believe that Walcott is a talented player, who can help a team reach their goals, if their goals are relatively modest... just look at the teams who supposedly expressed interest in his services and they weren't the kind of clubs who aspire to win at the highest levels... as for the reasons why he hasn't been bitching and moaning about moving on just look at the wage benefits he receives from our club and his obvious desire to enjoy the societal advantages that come with playing in North London for a club with worldwide appeal... so instead of continuing to try to fix a coat with a broken zipper simply move on and buy a new and better coat

When Rosicky has been called on to play this campaign he has proven that he is still able to perform at the highest level, so why not let him return to the club that moulded him into a star?

QD - That is the problem.There are still 50000 on the waiting list for Season Tickets so why are the club concerned?I can't believe there are too many that won't renew so Stans Coffers will still be filled.But there must be concern.Sponsors will not be happy with the empty seats, The Corporate Boxes are never full.Club Level is never full even though they are adding another two levels on the close season.

If you havent noticed there are bigger clubs in the CL than we, teams on a level club footing, also some so called feeder clubs who create amazing players regularly.

Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out of position and by not acquiring world - class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss of Cazorla, who took a lot of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments of greatness undercut by long periods of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste

of course no team wants to lose but I can guarantee you that the reaction by the Chelski fans after today's results are nowhere near what would have occurred if we shit the bed on opening day... the difference is they have tasted EPL success on more than one occasion recently, they have won the Champions League and they have done it with 3 different managers in the last 12 years with a similar, if not smaller, wage bill than us... in comparison, we have been experiencing our own personal Groundhog Day with nothing to show for it but a few silvery trinkets that would barely wet the appetite of a world - class club... so it's time for Wenger to stop gloating over our week one escape act and make some substantial moves before this window closes or I fear that things will take a horrible turn when the inevitable happens... living on a knife's edge is no way to go through a full season of football and regardless of what side of the argument you fall on, you could feel high levels of toxicity in the air and that was friggin week one... I would much rather someone tried their best and failed, than took half - measures and hoped for the best

Welbeck has got the Bendtner thing going on, not so great at club level but a monster for national team.

Yes i totally agree with Ramsey we're now started to see some positive players players that have an ambition to bring back our invisible Gunners out of darkness we tired of being laughing @ from other football club fans around the world we tired of being aiming higher and end up be to button of our rivals Afc is a very outstanding world class fc for God sake we have all the potential to take our club to the highest level so come on Wenger let's do it also glad to see the way Wenger treated Morenho on Sunday & I'll love to see Wenger do the same every time they meet in public place until Morenho realize his arrogant behavior towards Wenger.

No one at this club is on his level in terms of ability / mentality / consistency, so that's why Wenger is desperate to keep him.

It's the fans that keep sacrificing because this team can't get their head out of their own ass... please give me some examples when a top club ever let their best player leave for free at the end of a season... Wenger needs to go to PSG and get some money and talent for Sanchez so that we can end this nonsense once and for all... then he needs to publicly apologize for the way in which they handled the whole situation... if they allow Sanchez to go for free there is no way this club, under the tutelage of Kroenke and Wenger, will ever layout the necessary coin to replace such a talented player, especially considering that Wenger will be a lame - duck manager once again in the final year of his contract and we know how well that went last year... open your eyes people, Wenger has spoken publicly about how he hopes that the next manager can take this club to the next level... WHAT?!?... he then went on to speak about leaving them in the perfect position to be successful, which is one of the reasons why several pundits felt Wenger would leave after last season based on the financials and the fact that so many players had only one year left on their respective contracts... who says this shit??? If you believe you're leaving things in the best possible shape for your potential successor to achieve greatness it raises a couple of serious questions: Why can't you take things to the next level if everything is as great as you say?

Those 2 factors leading to Wenger holding so much power and the club depending on him at so many levels... just a joke!

Your right there trevor we ALL «want» to believe as we all do every season, yet every season threres something that stands in our way, now the majority of us on this site and arsenal fans in general are NOT skilled in the ways of managing and running a modern top class football club, but, the majority of us have a degree of common sense and the ability to problem solve on a reasonable level, and this is where over the years many many fans have become so disillusioned with AW.

You can bad mouth GIROUD all you like but I have said it all along and will keep saying it, Welbeck is so poor, he should be playing for mid table clubs, he is so untidy, poor first touch, can't make create or assist, he just look so not on Arsenal's level..

Now is the time Wenger MUST change things round ready for next season.Auba and Lacazette up front as TWO STRIKERS.Mikki on the right.Ozil in the CENTRE FFS.He is not on the ball enough out wide.He is our best player so play to his strengths.He will get the best out of everyone else.Get Zhaka out and put AMN in as a CDM NOW.How much longer must we put up with below level performances?Just admit it was a mistake buying him, ship him out and move on.Try to get through the season with the defenders we have got.Wenger has proved he is incapable of moulding a consistent performance from what we have got (ALL PLAYERS HE HAS BROUGHT TO THE CLUB) and let the new guy in next season either sort them out and / or get rid of them.

Djukic, with his hands tied at boardroom level and hindered by enforced player sales and a whole host of other factors arguably beyond his control, has failed to restore former glories to Los Che, so, as the club's owners search for a way to control the financial mess, it will be down to another fire - fighting manager to sort out the problems that are existent on the pitch.

Chelsea have been in the mix for at least one trophy in almost every season since Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003, so the club's fans have come to expect a level of success that puts pressure on its managers from an early stage.

Dele Alli is likely to be supporting Kane and no player laid on more assists for a team - mate than Alli did for Kane last season so that club combination should work wonders at international level.

Lovren came over from the same club as Van Dijk, and he looked like a top - level defender at Southampton, but the Saints use a far less aggressive defensive pressing style than Liverpool — one that's mainly focused on moving the opposition into the least dangerous areas of the pitch — so it creates layers of safety for its defenders.

Kroenke now owns 62.89 percent of the clubs shares, but so far has shown no interest in spending his cash in order to bolster the club's squad (I had been hoping for a more Roman Abramovich approach, well maybe not quite on that level, but something).

So overall, that's two players that have come out of Liverpool's academy in recent memory that are good enough to play for Liverpool, or a club on a similar level to Liverpool.

Argentina has lost three finals (2 Copa America and World Cup 2014 final) in which Lionel Messi has played so he will go into the comptition under massive expectations even though coming on the back of probably his greatest season on club level.

Manchester City have already sent out a chilling message to their rivals that large sums of cash splashed on superstars can make you an overnight title contender, with the Eastlands outfit heading into the New Year level on points with arch-rivals Manchester United at the summit, so the hear their assistant manager Brian Kidd claim the team will only get stronger in 2011 will be of alarming news to their competitors, who are working on more limited budgets and will find it harder and harder to maintain pace with City as the club continue their relentless pursuit of major honours.
