The report suggests that with Arsenal seemingly hot on
starting talks with players about their contractual commitments, it is slightly worrying for this English trio who supposedly haven't heard a peep from the club.
Not exact matches
Hopefully this will be the
start, where an Arsenal
player actually backs up his big
talk with his Actions on the pitch!
Today we saw our attacking force without alexis... and it is a shame... for all of those
talking nonsense about alexis being to selfish qnd that affecting our «fluency»... lacazzete is a cf so he needs people behind him... if we do nt buy q world class
player to replace alexis we are done, we would not fight for the tittle... today was a friendly, but the difference was huge... do nt lie urself about we play
with 2nd teqm
players... we
start with oyr first team in the middle and front line, and we did nothing... hope that 280k a week to ozil is a bad joke
on if he will
start to begin
talks from New Year to summer... From the New Year to the summer we will certainly
start it
with all the
players who have two years to go at the end of the season.
Moving on from it all for this season i fear for worst to come next season (just had a deja vu i say the same thing every season around this time) City already are
talking spending 600 Million in the next two to three years on new
players and you can bet Man - U will follow to try and close the gap, Liverpool can sell one
player and buy an entire squad, Chelsea owner Abromovich has
started to make noise's about next season so they will be spending, spuds will try to keep their existing
players with one or two additions to strengthen and some salary rises to keep the elite, and Arsenal will go head to head
with the likes of Burnley Everton Leicester for average
players signature, and the board will make sure even if they replace AW they will replace him
with AW No2 who will do what the board decides on who and how much to spend
But for some reason, Wenger has not even
started talking to Santi Cazorla, who has arguably been one of our best and most consistent
players in this campaign
with 48 appearances under his belt so far.
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
why did we play Welbeck in the striker's role... no one can question his heart but to have a
player with such limited first - touch and finishing skills against such a game opponent
with Lacazette on the bench is almost unforgivable... maybe it's because Welbeck tows the party line or maybe it's because Welbeck doesn't know anything but 100 % on the pitch, unfortunately neither of these qualities makes him a capable
starting striker on a team
with any real aspirations... I can only hope that he was being showcased for a move elsewhere, as there was some
talk last week about some interest from Everton... if he moved on that would be the only silver lining of this coach's decision, but once again it wouldn't excuse this club for putting business decisions ahead of fielding the best possible team to secure 3 points at Anfield
We can NOW how - ever the figures your
talking about is for this year and we have
started to improve our wages
with the signing of
players like Ozil and Alexis the past couple seasons, that has made an impact as those 2 alone put us in the top 10 and without them we would be outside the top 10.
1996/7 was his first (part season) where he formally took over at (If I can recall correctly) around mid-late October.We had actually
started the season fairly well
with Pat Rice holding the reins until Wengers contract was up in Japan.And that was following a particularly bad run of pre season results I remember.Anyway you will recall we qualified for the UEFA CUP
with a late Bergkamp screamer (oh how I worshipped that
player) against Bolton.Were we pleased
with this?Absolutely we were.You could see the progression in the team and
with talk of more top
players arriving we were all very encouraged and dare I say it?
The way some of you
talk it's as if u expect Arsenal to
start a match
with 18
players instead of 11.
But
with Wenger
talking about
players, defenders especially, needing time to adapt and build an understanding
with the
players around you, as well as revealing that there is a communication issue
with the new man not speaking even basic words in English, it is clear that
starting him against Villa would be too much of a risk.
Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key
players aren't even playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding
players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even
started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his
starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship
with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious
talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded
with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
probably cuz, Ozil can become the best
player in world, while Cazorla cant, when you are
talking about stats, Ozil needs only 8 assists to take first place as
player with most assists ever, thats why Ozil always
starts, no matter Germany or Arsenal, personally i do nt like that, for me who is in better form would play, but it does nt work like that!!
What is wrong
with you people?stop pimping us about Wiltshere!!!!!!, for Gods sake he is gone, he is no longer Arsenal
player, he said it himself, he is concentrating at his new club and he do nt want to sign new contract
with Arsenal, he f...... refuse!!!!!! And you peoples keep pumping us
with Wiltshire, forget about him and
start talking about Arsenal
players.
I wouldn't be surprised if he still
starts with Ozil, Even though he
talks of resting the
player.
