Reading the thread on this article and I noticed a lot of people naming strikers we could have gotten in past transfer windows that have gone to other club and failed, Balotelli, Falcao, Martinez, Boney etc are recurring names in all the comments, and am sat here thinking because they failed in thee clubs does not necessarily mean they would have failed if we had pulled out our fingers and hot them back then, Balotelli aside I strongly believe all of these players could have made a difference playing infront of our midfield and given the kind of attention and care Wenger gives Giroud and Walcott, adapting our play to suit them and giving them chances after chances even when its blatantly obvious they are average players so please lets not keep using that as an excuse for Wenger's ultra careful attitude in the transfer market, they could have failed with us, or they could have been massive for us, all speculations.

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)

Great for Maureen to talk about giving chance to youth players, then go and sign a expensive big name at 29 years old For Ospina, I know he divided opinion but some statistics does not lie, we conceeded large number of goals from crosses in the 2nd half of the season — he is a consistent goalkeeper and fine shot stopper but never a commanding one.

@Twig i like the fact you mentioned Giroud hitting top form.Its a pity that form will not be getting us anywhere.If we want to go by Arsenal value and name sake then he should not even be an arsenal player and also includes some players who i do nt want to mention.On Wilshere, he is my favourite arsenal player because of the way he plays and because he is very exciting to watch.A player like him at 19 years could have benched anyone inhis position in this current team and do nt forget 19.

here's my big hope, is that hopefully with the return of walcott and that win against anderlecht maybe something might (like bad form) break in the season for us now and we hopefully go on a bit of a winning run til Jan, we have not got a really bad fixture til then mostly mid to lower league team (apart from the pool and united) not to be underestimated but winnable, we might just save our season till the next window very important period for us if we want to do anything in the league this season, if in top 2 or 3 buy jan i for one will be chuffed to bits then with all players back push on from there for massive optimism is my middle name COYG

Mertz should never have been our captain in the first place... who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role in the management structure of this club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!

I just can't believe that we have become a joke we always start the season well then have a bumpy December and by the time Feb comes our form has taken a dip and we get kicked out of all competitions except for that valuable top 4 that the board loves so much... ultimately if Arsenal want to compete again we need changes from the bottom up... Kroenke and his board need to go cause clearly for them profits matter more than trophies... Wenger needs to go for his lack of tactical naus guy has been using the same fornation since I was in high school and I'm doing my honours in accounting now... our medical team must all go our players always get injured and they never come back in time (take a look at Santi) players like Coquelin Theo Mesut Gabriel Gibbs Giroud just to name a few need to go they're just not good enough seriously these players lack fight tactical Discipline and tactical awareness... at the end of the day change needs to happen things can't keep going like this for us....

Then the plastic fans started crying for world class players, it's actually fun when the fantasy line ups start popping up during transfer windows on here, it becomes irritating when some on here actually become as stubborn and adamant that the team can not play without these so called world class players, i mean I still see Reus and Hummels and Carvahlo popping up even after the window is shut, I bet if Ozil had not been bought, his name would pop up so very often on here....

Yes, I think it could be their strategy to sign a big name player, then let Sanchez leave, to avoid the angry mob.

Asano may have real potential and I wouldn't knock the signing at all, however it's vital that if Wenger does want to develop this youngster at Arsenal, then he also signs that big name player that we so desperately need up front.

If Ozil wasn't such a big name then it would be easier to drop him and the player I would want in that 3 man CM you listed wouldn't be Iwobi but M - Niles, Iwobi forgets his def duties a bit too much recently for the trust given to a CM.

To be sincere, am kinda jealous about the Pato to liverpool rumour, bcos I remember when he was at Ac Milan he was sought after by many big clubs some of us even wanted him at Arsenal then... Buh seriously, I trust wenger's judgement on whoever he signs or fail to sign... We can not be blaming wenger whenever he dint sign the players we want, I could name some players that we have always wanted and they turn out to be flops... OT: The Telegraph is reporting that Rabiot is on the brink of 15m move Arsenal

i remember reading on twitter a little while back someone mention that we were in talks with a big name player in germany, that the talks were getting under way back then and said it could talk a while to iron out, when i read the tweet (it very much reminded me of when we signed ozil just a faint whisper on twitter and then it just happened) real under the radar stuff, this could be it coming to its end game and boom mr x signs on the dotted line.
