Top class players earning only a little more than rubbish / average players make no sense in terms of: struggling to sell rubbish / average players because no one will match their ridiculous wages, contract renewals (as we're seeing with the likes Sanchez and Ozil, not to mention other top players who have left in the past), and in terms of attracting top quality players.

Only a handful of players give more than that in every game, you know who they are I don't need to mention them.

I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team than any other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this season to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.

In the midfield, (including RWB & LWB) we have a whole bunch of tweeners... none offer the full package, none make sense in our manager's current favourite formation, except for Sead on the left and Ox on the right, and all of them have never shown any consistency for more than a heartbeat... Sead, who I'm including in this category because of our present formation, looks like a positive addition, minus his occasional brain farts, but I would rather see what he could do in a back 4 before making my mind up... Ox, who has never played better, which isn't saying much considering his largely underwhelming play in previous seasons, seems to have found a home in this new formation; unfortunately, can we really expect this oft - injured player to handle the taxing duties that come with said position over the long haul, not to mention, it looks like he has no intention of staying... Ramsey has relied on the empathy that stems from his gruesome injury years ago and the excitement that was generated a few years back when he finally seemed to put in altogether, but on the whole he has been a big disappointment (neither he nor the Ox have scored enough to warrant a regular spot)... Wiltshire should be put on a weekly contract then played until he suffers his first injury, if and when that occurs he should be shipped - out and no one should very be allowed to say his name on club grounds ever again... Elnehy & Coq are average players who couldn't make any of the top 7 teams currently in the EPL... both have showed some great energy on the pitch, but neither are top quality and no good team can afford to have that many average players on their bench playing the same position, especially with Coq's injury history / discipline concerns and Elheny's headless chicken tendencies... as for Xhaka, his tenure here so far has been incredibly underwhelming... we know he has some skills to provide the long ball but his defensive work is piss poor and he gives the ball away too cheaply and far too often... finally, the enigma himself, Ozil, so much skill with his left foot but his presence has been more frustrating than uplifting... in many respects his failure has been directly related to the failure of this club to provide him with the necessary players up front, minus Sanchez of course, and unless something drastic happens very soon his legacy will be largely a negative one (much like Wenger's)

rest Sanchez bring in gnabry too + with the players you mentioned, and I think we should play Henry's statue outside the stadium instead of giroud, I bet it will get more goals than giroud

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

Walcott is better than the three players that I mentioned earlier on.

Ruthlessness, player petting (continually giving chances to players like Giroud rwho will not lead Arsenal anywhere rather than going out and strongly bidding and buying a top quality ST), slowness in reacting deficiencies in the squad even in January windows where it is clearer and the season can still be turned around, not basing our transfer windows on banking or players who get injured consistently, getting players we need and making respectable offers for players we need (like the Suarez debacle) are some of the things I mentioned.

The evidence shows that he doesn't, he coasts through games and, as someone above has already mentioned only comes into his own if, on the day, the whole teams has hit a purple patch.You can praise him for his assists but a player of his supposed calibre should be doing more than providing the odd assist.

On form as a right winger, I think Walcott offers more goals and more assists than welbeck and the ox, not to mention that left backs are just pinned in when he plays as people are scared to death about his pace, he's the one player we have that is constantly playing on the shoulder of defenders, give him games and he will score goals, he's a better finisher than he gets credit for!

Mahrez is a better player than those Arsenal wingers you mentioned except Sanchez.But when he comes to Arsenal now, Wenger drop him to the bench for the sake of Iwobi, Theo, Ramsey and Ox.

He mentioned the Champions League play - offs and the fight to finish higher than fourth is therefore very important and that is one of the things keeping our players focused.

I support you on the fact that Araenal need a player who can make an immediate impact.However, it's also naive to try to create an impression that he's going to fail due to similar playing style and stature of the players you mentioned above.Even Eduardo would have world class and possibly better than Van Persie if not for his leg breaking.It's likely Mbappe is going to succeed and if he gets signed up by another club we'll be chasing him on the future.The same gamble being taken on Mbappe is the same that was taken on Henry.If Henry had failed I don't think Arsenal would've been this great club today.This is a very similar situation to Mbappe.Weneed players now to have an immediate impact but we should not be inclined to think Mbappe would fail if Arsenal should sign him.

If we don't get the two afore mentioned players we will be no further up the ladder than last season.

It's obvious for me that arsenal need 4 players to become a world class team like bayern and real madrid i couldn't dare mention barcelona because they have unbelievable front three and they maybe the best attack in history of football we are lacking quality in the ST as well as the RW of course giroud and campvell are very good players but in my opinion they are less in quality than the rest of the team so we need to improve the quality in these positins About the DM it's a number issue and i think the position is covered with flamini doing good job and elneny coming which can be deployed there About the fourth signing we need is a center back I don't think i saw till now enough minutes for gabriel to tell if he can make the position his own or not But what makes me doubt him that wenger didn't choose him till now over per which means he is not miles ahead of him so i think we need a new better CB This team can go and fight for every thing even the champions leafue....

You've also inadvertently reinforced my point about the glaring errors Wenger makes when you mentioned that football is more than one player, it's a team sport.

Let's get real here.It is very unlikely that ANY professional player will ever say anything derogatory about a teammate that has just left the club.If Jack had said about Coq - «Grew up playing with him in the Youth Team and have fond memories of a player they though he had very limited ability he always gave his all.Very surprised and disappointed the club never invested in a World Class defensive midfielder that we have quite obviously been lacking for a number of seasons and would no doubt have improved the defensive weakness we have shown over a number of seasons» we would have echoed his thoughts entirely.If he had said about Theo - «A player who should have been so much better than he ended up being.He had everything needed to be a prolific player for our club but I can understand the fans frustrations with his continued lack - lustre performances and total lack of a football brain.I think this is best explained by the managers preference to play a player of such limited ability as Alex Iwobi in front of Theo pretty much says it all» we again would have all nodded our agreement.Although Jack never mentioned Alexis Sanchez I would imagine something along the lines of «If the Manager had not persisted with players with such limited ability such as Francis and Theo and instead bought the world class players needed into the club then Sanchez would still most likely be here.The fans must wonder what the hell goes on at the club as they pay fortunes for the privalage of following our club but it seems the millions generated ends up purchasing a new Texas Ranch for the Owner or in a yearly renumeration of # 9million pounds to our manager».

You forget that Lukaku and Benteke have achieved admirable feats playing in clubs like Aston Villa, West Brom, Everton who I find it very hard to remember names of players in their midfield rather than Barkley, Barry and Fabian Delph while Giroud has had the luxury of players such as Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez, Walcott, Ramsey for 3 seasons now who are an indisputable stronger creative force compared to those other teams mentioned.

Do I even need to mention that Arsenal's record with buying Asian players has been just a tad less than spectacular?

And please, do not mention Welbeck... I truly believe Akpom is already a better player than Welbeck.

Walcott is better than three players that I've mention.

the team looks well equipped, but whats the point if injuries keep occurring.fact that giroud does nt run much all the time may be a contributing factor to his fitness.as some dutch fitness coach mentioned, wenger should restropect on his training regime and do the needfull.that is more important than buying players.....

Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson is mentioned as being a top target, and so it looks as though Spurs are confident of adding to what they already have rather than being forced to replace players they are likely to lose.

not saying he wouldn't start, but all those players you mention are fitter than Ox and would get their spot back the moment he picks up an injury.

Ability is one thing.Team tactics and coaching of players to perform within s System is just if not more than important.In regards to the players you have mentioned

Where's all this positivity about our champions league group coming from?for one I can guarantee 100 % that PSG will finish first ahead of us, I saw someone mention that Man City and Chelsea beat them but those teams actually have Uefa Champions league level players as City made it to the semis last season and Chelsea's champions league is better than ours they have won it before and made more champions league semi finals!

To be honest with you I'd prefer all those second choice strikers you mentioned above apart from Njie and Origi.I also rate Hayden higher than Chambers because I feel he has more potential but is very injury prone.Those who have watched Isaac Hayden should know this and those who watched them when they played Southampton would know.He outclassed Chambers in that match.Bar his injury he will make it and is a born leader by example as in his play.The players I'm sick and tired of seeing is Mertesacker and Giroud.Yes only these two.For the rest I'm opk with them.People still think Ospina is better than Szczesny because of Copa America and stats.Oh!

Only player of those you mentioned that's currently better than Sterling is Reus (by some distance).

You did rightly mention player sales, this is more than just Wenger though, he can not expected to do everything.

Well check out what Keown thinks of the United boss and his bizarre treatment of some of the United players, not to mention that eyebrow raising panic buy of some unheard of and unproven French youngster for more money than we paid Barcelona to get Alexis Sanchez.

But as i mentioned and you have agreed the «premium mark up» on English players means in all honesty we would be better buying someone outside the league if we where genuinely contemplating spending in excess of 25 million (which more than likely he will cost) I would want an established international with assists and goals in the 10s, And we could get a player for around that.

That sounds like a stupid question, considering they are seven points clear and, as mentioned, have used fewer players than any of their rivals.

Our record goal scorer mentioned it again is the column he rights for The Sun and once again he spoke about how a team needs more than just one player to provide the fire power for a title challenge.

Even if he comes back there's a possibility he's a different player than the one we saw before, not even mentioning his age.

I only mention he's not a dirty player because there likely won't be any discipline other than a $ 5k fine most likely.
