Bring in Ospina for Cech; Gabriel for Koscielny (Kos is 31 and its time we start testing Gabriel and Holding beside Mustafi to see what our long
term first choice defensive partnership will look like); Gibbs for Monreal (Wenger needs to start rotating these 2 more frequently as we need to ascertain if Gibbs can adequately produce the quality to hold that position from
next season for a few years as I'm thinking this might be Nacho's last or penultimate
season with Arsenal, it will also give a hint as to the type

next appointment right the board is trying to give themselves as much time to identify a replacement and in the correct time unless wenger leaves at short notice, i think if he had won the c / l all thought years ago we would be looking at a different story i think he would have left at the end if that contract as he would be at the peak
of his powers and could
of gone anywhere he like across europe, but he didn't win and here we are now, i respect the man for what he has done for us and english football a modern day herbert chapmen he is but even old chappy had his end
of and era and wenger will have his end its just how will it play out hopefully a winner
We need to concentrate on burnley coz they are in a great form and are hard to beat.I will take a 1 - 0 win TBH.If we draw or lose to burnley, surely then we are finished under wenger in

of carabao cup, one

of achieving 85 point come
next May???» I believed we were strong last year and said it here that the team was strong and together and used the very words that MR wenger used cohesion but as the
season unfolded the cracks showed up at the very beginning when we lost to west ham and it got worse as we lost pole position and every thing around us came tumbling down by February last
season here comes another important question did they know and understand what happened do they know what to do this
term to avoid the very same faith well we wait and see Irregardless
of what happens I will support Arsenal and will keep analyzing every match my way until May so Good luck Arsenal with your endeavors and hope you do well against Liverpool keep the fight on keep the heads up and give them a good beating
