I see lot of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class player.Yes, he is a great player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund in the end of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave
to a big
team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type of player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a
first XI player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will leave.Sterling is an English player, will be great
to see him at nationat
team too, and we need as mutch as rest of the big
teams from EPL home grown players.The coments
who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington
make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want
to see more young players and waiting year after year
to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a top
team, and need performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED player
who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great player.

I would not eqbt
to see that match... sure walcott can take the place of alexis when the second has been more important for us in 3 years than the
first in 10 years... im not ok with alexis attitude yesterday but u do nt know if that was because he was sustituted... maybe he was not ok with his performance or he want mire goals, and thats ok for me, that attituted u will never see in theo because he born here under wenger and he is ok with his wages that he do nt deserve and being 4th... im ok with alexis attitud in boros game, because a draw was not enought for arsenal, and im ok with him when he ask for the salary he does diserve... for me he is one of the best in the epl, maybe the best, and without any question
who makes things happen in our
team... he deserves 200 or 250k a week more than any in our
team, even moseur wenger... ozil deserve 180k only because he is going up with his performances and have show more attitud than ever... ur famous theo deserve 80k or go and play at west ham
The 27 - year - old,
who has ten England caps

Chalobah,
who made 10 league appearances for Antonio Conte's side last season as Chelsea secured their fifth Premier League title, contributing one assist, has signed a five - year deal with the Hornets after struggling

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)
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!!!
Guaranteed
first team football was the main practical consideration —
who should we have dropped / sold
to make way for him when he came crawling back from Barca — Ramsey or Ozil?
Similar situations played out for other top free agents like Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta,
who both ended up signing with the one
team that
made a serious offer, and they were lucky compared
to the likes of Lance Lynn, a No. 2 starter
who had
to settle for what would have looked like a free agent bargain back in 2005 when he was
first drafted out of high school.
The UMass Minutemen were down
to the Drexel Dragons,
who many felt deserved
to be in the NCAA Tournament, by 17 points in the second half and, as a six seed, were trying

first team to ever
make the NIT semifinals in Madison Square Garden by playing three straight road games.
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
He's a bit overrated I must say.I also don't get those
who are asking him
to tackle well.The fact is he's not a good tackler.I fear Wenger has
made him untouchable in our
team such that even if he plays badly he still starts.I mean if people are saying he's not a DM in the
first place then is he also a CM?If he's a CM does he have the quality
to play along side a DM?These are the questions we need
to ask ourselves.If he's a CM then he's good at distributing from deep and also up top but he can't hold thd ball in tight spaces or dribble which is very important.If he's a DM then he simply can't defend.That's why for us
to be successful in the long term with him we need a hybrid midfielder or what I call a defensive box
to box midfielder.
4) yes Keita: he's got a release clause that get's activated next year it's around 45 mil if I remember correctly, i highly rate him as the all rounder Dm / Cm / Am does it all and can fill the cazorla void instantly, for anyone that are reading the 70 - 80 million valuation I don't see any
team paying that, but
making him the most expensive African player will sure tempt him
to move Bid 45 mil with add ons and there is a big chance of getting him, if they don't accept that offer
to make a red bull commercial that should boost the sales of that terrible tasting energy drink, Sanchez Ozil Ramsey ox bellerin wenger it's time
to get drinkng that's Just good marketing for redbull, a
team with no history or fans shouldn't have a say in
who to keep in the
first place they are a stepping stone
to bigger things and we are the
team to make you world class, wan
na eventually play in barca or real look at our track record we will get you there!!
Many Blues youngsters have gone
to the Eredivisie outfit in recent seasons but none have come back
to impress, except from Nemanja Matic,
who also had an interlude at Benfica before

first team impact.
The Villa manager
made a big deal of his
team going down with a virus in the run up
to the game, which may have left them weakened (
who would have said that after the
first 15 minutes?)
There are key players all over the pitch, like Alexis Sanchez, Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla, but it is the only player new
to the Arsenal squad, the
first choice keeper Petr Cech,
who has
made the most difference and has turned Arsenal into a
team capable of becoming champions.
Arsenal is not a serious
team at all as we hold on
to too many average players and treat them like the best that's ever happened
to us.Wenger clearly doesn't have the grit
to make certain decisions regarding players.I just hope Lacazette is given the centre stage like Welbeck and Giroud
who have failed greatly.I really feel for Giroud because he's criticized heavily yet people forget it's the coach
who bought him and decided
to use him this way in the
first place despite him never being good enough.
Wenger
made per and arteta our captains based on age and reputation not on performances, for koz would have been a great captain.a captain is a player

to be vocal because he is already respected by his
team - mates
The Belgian international,
who made a terrific impression upon being introduced
to the
first -
team setup last season, has seemingly fallen out of favour under new manager Louis van Gaal this season, and may now be farmed out on loan in the new year.
Adding a complete and utter outlier
who would be
making 3 - 4 times more than players
who regularly contribute
to the
first -
team is a recipe for disaster.
Liverpool look set
to make three smart signings in the summer transfer window
to address some key positions in their squad, with other areas set
to be filled by promising youngsters such as Jordan Ibe,
who has recently enjoyed a strong run in the
first -
team.
Bayern Munich has also been credited with interest for the 22 - year - old,
who has more than 130
first -
team appearances
to his name already having
made his professional debut as a 17 - year - old back in 2009 when with Le Mans.
He should have either been
made under 21 manager (he would be much better than steve gatting
who seems
to lose most games these days) or midfield coach
to the
first team.
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
The Red Devils are supposedly ready

«Pressing has been created in England basically because there is a history of

Arsenal have Hector Bellerin, Carl Jenkinson, Calum Chambers, and Alex Iwobi, and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain
who have
made contributions
to the

As opposed
to the other big
teams who will surround a young player with talent and support that
makes it easier for them
to grow into the
team and into the game, Arsene asks a young player
to be as good as anyone, and immediately be comfortable in the same role and responsibilities as the
first choice player is.
Having worked hard on his rehabilitation since, he
made his much - welcomed return
to first -
team action against Basel, and he seemingly wasted little time in having a positive impact on United supporters
who took

Joining a club of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list of players
who were wrong
to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured of all players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided
to search for other greener pastures.He was a clear talented footballer during his time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him
to get used
to the rythm of the game.With time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody
who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very good at
first but wenger found a way
to reduce his level of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything
to resolve that problem and instead He looked for other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player
who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready
to become a world beater.But wenger decided
to let him run and run like a headless chicken causing him
to be often injured and damaging his confidence.
Who knows what would have happened
to him gad he decided
to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much better player than this.Theo walcott - Another player
who was tipped
to have a very bright future.He had it in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager
who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming
to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top of that another player
who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared
to during his time at real madrid.On coming
to arsenal he found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have
to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many years.That is why each and every player are what they are because of their own efforts and wenger had nothing
to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7 years untill he himself decided
to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge
team while the rest is in your court.It is not what so many people
make it out
to be.Thats why we need
to pressure wenger more than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs
to take that responsibility
I am not a player
who's going
to beat three or four people and stick it in the top corner or go round tackling people like Roy Keane... People are
making a big thing about how I don't score enough goals when that is not necessarily my
first job in the
team.
