Save if the present Gunners save themselves from going out of this season Ucl to Barcelona, the Boss and the Arsenal Board MUST re focus their focus on revamping the Arsenal squad with some additions of top quality players from where ever they can find them to replace the dead woods, the injury proners, the past it, the can't make it, the too average, the not Ucl quality, the 1 or 2 matches performance players, the low class ones, the uninteligent ones, the lazy ones but swallowing up vast wages of Arsenal money, the cave - in big games players and the boastful but lackluster players in big games who are presently at Arsenal now.

Coquelin's defending is excellent.In fact i've watched many DM's Arsenal have been linked and he's better than some of them defensive wise.How many top DM's will keep the likes of Silva, Coutinho and Modric (12/13) quiet throughout a match?It takes top defending to do that.His biggest problem is that he's not adventurous and doesn't hold the ball with authority.It's just that I feel he's not given the appreciation he deserves.He's a good squad player to have and when on form can do well against top teams.

Wenger has mostly used the second string squad at the start of any season to great effect, most teams aren't at full strength or match fit and he plays that Wengerball numbers game, throwing in squad players who are fit and raring to go whilst the first team get ready, we'll win 2 of our 3 opening games and he'd rather that than splash 100m on 3 players and get the same amount of points.

I'd expect Wenger to name a few regular stars in the side, but I think the majority of names on the teamsheet will be those fringe players in the squad and those youngsters on the cusp of breaking into the first team.

In turn, depending on the opposition and what Valverde feels suits the players at his disposal best, Barca have a lot of quality in the squad and it would be a surprise to not see them competing for major honours this season regardless of whether or not they were able to land all of their top targets this summer.

I enjoyed this article, it is pretty much what I have been thinking lately: that the majority of the squad (not just Oli) are confidence players and that Wenger is cautious to disrupt the balance in the squad, that's why he has been going on about cohesion so much.

I do agree we have a few players on the books from the more financially lean era but these lads are still good squad players (your examples of Giroud and Ramsey, not so much Walcott).

If you were playing on a Sunday morning and got caught out by that goal you would be steaming 3 players v 1 and not one players actually picked him up, so he turns and runs 60 yards Massive schoolboy error And why is the team virtually the same barring forced changes What's the point of having a squad WENGER OUT and you will hear this again and again One difference in the teams, they play as a team Ramsey and Alexis awful

There were 55 players on that shortlist so it may not sound all that impressive that three of them were Arsenal stars, but that number does look better when you compare it with our Premier League rivals, especially when you consider how much more money the likes of Manchester United and Man City have been throwing around to build their squads.

Flamin: I would rather keep him than arteta he has been a good squad player this season and always there when needed in terms of availability people have been harsh on him he only has 5yellows this season in his 20 + games so he isn't a walking yellow as people like to say.his contract is up this season but he deserves an extension he isn't even 30yet.

Chelsea had a total of 28 players out on loan on September 1, more than the amount needed for a Premier League playing squad, and so far very few of those players loaned out get the chance to break into the club's first team.

Having said that we have a lot of players away on international duty and highly unlikely they will all come back fit we always pick up 1 or 2 injuries so we may have important players missing as well fingers cross for a change we have no injuries and everyone fit for liverpool game also we should have arteta, chamberlain and wilshire all fit to be in the squad!

That basically means wenger has been relying on just 14 players and clearly feels that many of his squad are not better than those 14.

Yes but it needed to be done, whilst it can be argued whether he would be able to produce the same performances he does now in 4 years time, the whole idea i would presume would be to let the younger midfielders learn from such a talented individual now with the eventual hope that they would be able to surpass or perhaps match his ability, plus its always a good thing to have experienced players of such calibre around the squad, like barca with Xavi he may not be able to perform to the level he was in his heyday, but every once an again produces a moment of magic when you need it on account of the experience.

Bunn has displaced the Italian in the starting line - up in recent weeks, but with the addition of Johnstone, perhaps Bruce is looking to stamp his own mark on the squad and bring in players in key areas that he doesn't believe have enough quality right now.

So I firmly believe our unwillingness to pay the true price of a player will reflect heavily on our squad, just like we failed to land Suarez, because we were counting our pennies.

I think it is cowardly that a manager of Wenger's calibre doesn't want to take on the risks, pressures and responsibilities that comes with spending big on quality players, completing the squad and having players that put you in a position to strongly (and legitimately) challenge for titles.

So if we sell them on we have to count one of our youth players for squad registration..

(3) formation flexibility — it took 20 years for Wenger to return to a back 3 and now he can't seem to choose anything but that formation... the teams in the premiership and those we could face in the Europa will present vastly different tactics and we need to have a manager who can prepare this squad for this eventuality and have the fortitude to make the necessary adjustments throughout the season... I have seen nothing in the past 6 - 7 years to suggest that he is the man to take on this challenge... I can't even remember when he changed formations when he would replace a small, pacy striker, like during the Walcott experiment, with the lumbering Giroud... of course this is exactly why there is no other manager in the world that plays more players out of their natural positions (square peg in a round hole)

I understand that there may not currently be a 9 available that is bang on better than Giroud, but I'd like to have seen Arsene maybe take a stab at Jackson Martinez earlier in the window, or truly make an offer to PSG that might entice them to balance their books and sell Cavani — saying this with the understanding that I don't know that I've seen him be spectacular in recent memory, but with the squad of players that would be behind him, certainly he could improve us.

Mahrez is a brilliant player for sure without a doubt but the OX showed last night that he could be even better than Mahrez with the OX campbell and walcott do we really need a winger I beg to differ what we need is a striker a striker of 25 + goals imagine henry or van on the team sheet now with the squad we have I liked be yedder because he was young and complete striker a striker that no mater of the circumstances are or position will strike you a goal pace agility skill clever cunning and ugly

Everyone n football and most of the same fans know Sanchez is our only player of quality, Henry said he is the only player who would get into the Spurs squad, and we play him with one hand tied behind his back on the left wing with effectively no existing central striker to worry defenders (unless you count Giroud as a central striker but I refuse to believe Giroud worries any central defender).

On top of this, just transforming players according to the given situation (eg, because of injuries) just adds to our thinning squad.

Why does everyone say we can afford this and that to me I'm not so sure we have cash from with in or out there's a lot not adding up like when we just bought Cech does not make sense we buy lacasette but sead kolasnic was free I'm not sure we have da cash and if we do can we spend or do we have sell like debuchy got 70 grand a wk most of us wouldn't make that in a year just think about that, he didn't play at all and that's why we haven't da money and sanogoal like cum on cut da squad pay the real players, manage da club get world class players and great squad players

Thats just polite talk, many here think UNTD will be fighting for EPL, i think they will fight for top 4, you just can buy 5, 6 players and expect to win something, they will sell Di Maria, thats big loss to them, and De Gea isnt safe either, cohesion of players is big part esspecialy in midfield, they bought new mid, to work they will need time, and time in EPL means no title, Chelsea and Arsenal have the biggest chance to win it, City squad is getting older and less motivated for EPL, and i think Pelegrini isnt on level of Wenger and Mourinho

Many of the world's best players and top young talents could be making their ways to the Premier League this January if reports are to be believed, while some big names could also be on their way out as elite foreign clubs come calling and managers perhaps try to shift some unfancied members of their squads to make room for other purchases.

He is a squad player at best, and just like Giroud he should be happy to be part of the team, coz other managers not like Wenger would sell him a long time ago, a not force him into playing on the behalf us even losing games at times due of him being used no matter what due of Wengers obsession of making him a star.

In addition, if neither Cazorla nor Ramsey improve their game by a mile, i reckon Ox (for ramsey) or Sanchez (for Cazorla) should take their place on the team and put Poldi on the left winger (or even Campbell on the right) They do nt even have to be bad, this could even be nothing more than a proposition on how to rotate the squad in the way of avoiding injuries on players, as well as giving frustrated benchwarmers some much appreciated time on the pitch.

Lastly Chelsea have one of the best youth development squads in the league, it is exactly how they avoid the FFP because they make so much player sales off young players not to mention there is a clause that money spent on youth development is exempt from analysis in the FFP

Forwards Ok, Ozil is an important player and its pre-season, but the energy I hope to see from him is just not there, once couple tackles come in on him, he fades out of the game, for one of the biggest, if not the biggest earner in the squad, just passing is not enough.

They stated that Lacazette was irreplaceable and a key member of the Lyon squad, suggesting that he was not for sale and that the Frenchman would be another player for Wenger to miss out on this summer.

I like Ramsey in the middle as well but while the boss wants him out on the right, maybe Flamini can step up to be an ideal squad player instead of Arteta.
