But even if and when those issues are cured, he'll have the same problem he had last week in San Diego, and this week in Dubai, and April at Augusta: a deep, talented
young class of players that he inspired to take up the game.
Not exact matches
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 don't have a problem with having Giroud or any
of our
young strikers upfront, if both wings are covered by top
class wing
players who can score 15 + goals each.
we need a
younger, vibrant manager who can take us through the transition stages
of transforming Arsenal from an old dog with no new tricks into a POWERHOUSE that can show true
class by adapting tactics according to the opposition and utilize our entire squad instead
of 14 or 15
players trying to carry us through the BPL, CL, FA CUP, League cup.......
One
player who has broken the trend
of being revealed when they have become world
class is Manchester City's
young striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
But his two seasons with us would allow our
younger players time to get into the level
of world
class.
he is our best
young player by a distance, and on him rests the future
of our club.however, if barca do call then it would be very hard for the
player to resist, he is spanish, he is top
class, but most importantly, he is a winner.
$ 150M spent on two
of the most sought after
young players in the world to complement an already WC
class squad....
Failing the Post Invincible
class Can you all remember that
of group
of young talented
players that always seemed to fall off just at the finish line.
A
young coach, who knows how to win and manage success, should be able to attract world
class players but his task will be made easy if there a chance
of the
players competing in the Champions league.
Whilst it is tempting to track such a world
class talent as Bale, top
class goalkeepers
of de Gea's ability are hard to come by and it may prove to be that the Red Devils won't succeed in landing a
player this good, whilst getting rid
of a
young talent who could be number one at Old Trafford for the next decade.
Some positives... Chambers and holding have potential Iwobi was decent and aube is a
class player worth what we paid but Czech mustafi and xhaka need to be offloaded in summer and some
of these
younger players are hugely overrated possibly coz they don't play enough but that shouldn't be in premiership... The truth that fans need to accept is that we are closer to Newcastle than to man utd..
In my
younger days if an Arsenal
player scored in a Cup Final he would be
classed as a hero, but Ramsey has gone even further, winning three FA cups with the team and scoring the winning goal in two
of them.
We should keep ospina for sure He is world
class and a good man To be honest I would like
players that fit the Arsenal some one fresh and
young that would play for Arsenal a minimum
of 5 years I am sorry but I find many cementers in here pick unsettled
players a 2 season wonders just for kicks
He is 4 years
younger than Per and a better
player, At 26 he would have a good 6 - 7 years ahead
of him as top
class.
nice to see you crawl out
of your hole just in time to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he brought to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts
of Arsene, Dein & staff to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid to bring strong personalities and / or world -
class players into the fold without being fearful
of how said
players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal
of all our greatest
players, both
young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry to RVP to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy to see that this club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead
of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending to be a world -
class soccer club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done to my beloved club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team to pretend to follow
While the deal would no doubt be expensive for Chelsea, this looks an exciting prospect if they can pull it off, as they look in need
of landing some top
class young players to bring through a new generation
of talent at Stamford Bridge.
Honestly to be fair to Jack Wilshere, the lad is passionate and loyal to Arsenal fc and i can't believe our fans would turn against him just because he got injured, Thiago Alcantara is also having injury problems, and i don't see fans turn against him like Arsenal fans do, Ramsey broke is leg and we everyone was asking for the coach to get ride
of him, after last season everyone was like Ramsey is the
class, you have to support your
player because
player's like santi Carzorla are not getting
younger, Arsenal fans need to think and realize that Wilshere is a quality
player who's disturb by injury and we don't have lot
of loyal
player's in the team, so why sell one
of the loyal and committed ones..
sign pogba stones courtois varane harry kane sterling neymar luke shaw barkley martin odegaard isco all
young and world
class and would definitely start ahead
of all our
players they are all leaps and bounds, heads and shoulders and light years ahead
of our current crop
of starters
So with the Gunners struggling in midfield without the Spaniard Santi Cazorla, who is not getting any
younger, the idea that Arsenal do not need a
player of Wilshere's ability and
class seems a bit misguided.
Ok I get that 3 points is what matters and happy we took them but what a misleading title the idea that watford finally gave in to arsenals attrition is idiotic... For an hour they were the one that probably had the more chances but in all honesty 2 2 would have been a fair scoreline... They were outdone in end by the
class acts we have and they lack... Sanchez and ozil... And by one
of most promising
young players in Europe..
A fee
of around # 300,000 looks to have been agreed between the two clubs, and that could prove a great bargain for United given Ajax's track record
of producing top
class young players.
Wenger comes in for a lot
of criticism when he buys
young players, comments like, we need established world
class players now, not ones for the future and usually with some adverse comment about Sanogo or similar.
The Squad is built through acquisition
of young talent, world
class players and the development
of high potential youth through the academy, U18's, and U21's.
With the assurance
of regular football, a new stadium, a club looking to build a title - winning squad with
young English
players in abundance and a coach in Mauricio Pochettino who has proven his
class and ability to improve
young players, why would Alli leave?
Next time we are having a discussion about spending big, marqueee signings, world
class players,
players being too old or past it, taking punts on
young talent and recognising the value
of youth systems remember this.
The ideal
player is yuri teilemens he is a quality
young Belgium u21 and a starter for anderlecht at only 17 years
of age even bayern have had a look at him.he has the potential to be world
class and wouldn't turn down a move to arsenal.
Im all for having multiple world
class players @ every position but it just seems that with Santi, Ozil, Ramsey, Jack, Rosicky, Chambo, Coq, Arteta plus the
young guns that somebody isn't going to be content riding the pine or being played out
of position (Ramsey)
Finally, and to reiterate an earlier point, the way forward for this club is to stop paying below average bench
players so much money and to focus the bulk
of the weekly wages on establishing a dominant starting 11... this will require the club to eat some wages in order to ship some
players out, get rid
of any deadwood over the age
of 21, develop a cutting edge scouting service and put your money where your mouth is for once... I would much rather have a starting 11 that was world -
class and give some reasonably paid
young blue - chippers playing time when injuries occur than have 2 or 3 world
class players surrounded by a plethora
of overpaid and underwhelming
players... management would no longer be able to sell their half - baked plans to the fans under the guise
of «winning now», which any intelligent fan knows is a crap - shoot at best, and instead create a a squad that provides hope for the present and the future... this is exactly the model that has been used by Barcelona, Real & Bayern, so it should be good enough for us... by the way, until Messi & Ronaldo re-signed just recently all 3 clubs weekly wages were on par with ours... think about that for a second or two
Nothing like one underachiever blowing smoke up the ass
of another... we know that Ozil has some incredible technical gifts, but to be considered the best you have to bring more than just assists to the table... for me, a top
player has to possess a more well - rounded game, which doesn't mean they need to be a beast on both ends
of the pitch, but they must have the ability to take their game to another level when it matters most... although he amassed some record - like stats early on, it set the bar too high, so when people expected him to duplicate those numbers each year the pressure seemed to get the best
of our soft - spoken star... obviously that's not an excuse for what has happened in the meantime, but it's important to make note
of a few things: (1) his best year was a transition year for many
of the traditionally dominant teams in the EPL, so that clearly made the numbers appear better than they actually were and (2) Wenger's system, or lack thereof, didn't do him any favours; by playing him out
of position and by not acquiring world -
class striker and / or right - side forward that would best fit an Ozil - centered offensive scheme certainly hurt his chances to repeat his earlier peformances, (3) the loss
of Cazorla, who took a lot
of pressure off Ozil in the midfield and was highly efficient when it came to getting him the ball in space, negatively impacted his effectiveness and (4) he likewise missed a good chunk
of games and frankly never looked himself when he eventually returned to the field... overall the Ozil experiment has had mixed reviews and rightfully so, but I do have some empathy for the man because he has always carried himself the same way, whether for Real or the German National team, yet he has only suffered any lengthy down periods with Arsenal... to me that goes directly to this club's inability to surround him with the necessary
players to succeed, especially for someone who is a pass first type
of player; as such, this simply highlights our club's ineffective and antiquated transfer policies... frankly I'm disappointed in both Ozil and our management team for not stepping up when it counted because they had a chance to do something special, but they didn't have it in them... there is no one that better exemplifies our recent history than Ozil, brief moments
of greatness undercut by long periods
of disappointing play, only made worse by his mopey posturing like a
younger slightly less awkward Wenger... what a terribly waste
We don't Need Stirling and frankly I would rather that money be spend on a world
class striker NOT an upstart
young kid who still has to learn his trade... we have Walcott, however on the subject
of Walcott I just wish he'd stop being overtly greedy and sign the contract so that the transfer team can concentrate on brining in the New
players we need NO wasting weeks
of negotiation on a
player who should be happy o play for the club with the wages he has.
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit
of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a
player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part
of the
player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately to find a way to get the best out
of them visa vie
player acquisitions or the reworking
of tactics... when things go according to planned the fans usually find a way to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case
of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with
players that have those skills that would most likely bring the best
of these
players success would surely follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our club chose to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt to absolve Ozil
of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming, to say the least, but this club has been inept when it comes to providing this prolific passer with the kind
of players necessary for him to flourish... with our poor man's version
of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the
younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember to be considered a world -
class set - up man goals need to be scored and for much
of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed to make those moves that could have brought championship football back to our once beloved club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled
player don't be so quick to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled
player to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the club
of those individuals that are truly to blame for our current woes
He often went to acn wich ment he was back on the bench when he came back Ryo was an unkown
younger Ozil is world
class Podolski was a well known
player who joined on the back
of a fantastic season Giroud was also a top scorer in France
It warms my heart to know that at the end
of his college career, people like Mark Turgeon and txterp98 took time to remember that this fine
young man deserves recognition not only as a basketball
player but as a positive person who represented us all with
class.
Although Adnan Januzaj is not close to world
class status just yet, he remains one
of the best
young players in the world and could very much be the next Ronaldo if he can find his feet at United and establish himself as a more consistent performer and goalscorer.
which is certainly not a slight on the
young french national
player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world -
class performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid
of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented
player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential
of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future
of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany
of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing
player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5
players who know how to attack the lanes (kind
of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring
of the football universe... think
of the
players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure
of monumental proportions... only if you cared,
of course
Obviously some
of these
players I would swap immediately for Giroud, simply because they're
younger and have the potential to become world
class players, but as
of right now I do believe that Giroud is better than all
of them.
He will end up as the
youngest player in this draft
class, which works in his favor after displaying an impressive amount
of offensive skill and feel.
Height: 6» 9» Weight: 205 Age: 18 Last: 58 Stats (German BBL): 5.8 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 40 % FG An oversized ball - handler and talented, instinctive passer, Bonga would be one
of the
youngest players in this
class and has nice upside given his unusual skill set.
The
young players bought (Ox and Theo and Chambers mentioned above in context
of Southampton) have not turned out world
class and many
of our youth
players go on loan and never come back.
Placing Ox on the left side... another classic Wenger positional switcheroo... for the love
of god can anyone tell me one positive that has come as a result
of Wenger playing guys out
of position in the last 6 or 7 years... I'll tell you, Cazorla playing a little deeper than he previously had and Ox last year as the right - side wing - back... he can't pass properly on the left and he is far more ineffective driving to the end line... the manager needs to make the tough decisions, either you play Bellerin or Ox on the right and the other becomes the back - up, get rid
of one
of the two or get rid
of both
of them and buy a top -
class player who would be an everyday starter then develop a
younger player behind him... no wonder he wants to leave... square peg into a round hole (same old, same old)
McCaffrey, the
younger brother
of Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey (and son
of former Broncos WR Ed McCaffrey), is the No. 45 ranked
player in the 2017
class.
Although it will be incredibly difficult to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former club legend, like Henry, to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction
of this club... regardless
of those who still feel that Henry has some sort
of agenda due to the backlash he received following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding
of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense
of obligation, both professionally and personally, to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue to slowly devolve into a second tier club... regardless
of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this club is more likely to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures
of others to secure our place in the top 4, we need to be the manufacturers
of our own success by doing whatever is necessary to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling to do whatever it takes to turn this ship around... just look at the current state
of our squad, none
of our world
class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our
younger talent and we might have become one
of the worst clubs ever when it comes to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one
of our greatest assets... it's time to get things right!!!
1) IF Sanchez leaves, then get Bale and Lacazette as Replacement, it would be would
class signings, Because madrid may get Mbappe, But if i were Mbappe i would watch and see what happened to James Rodriguez and one time World Most Expensive
player Bale 2) Arsenal can also sell Bellerin for # 50 - 55 millon or much lees with Ardan Turan as part
of the deal and get Sidibe or Any very
young Versertile Right wing back 3) Sell Sanchez if he won't agree to a new Deal, Convince Bale to come to Arsenal, pay # 80 - 90 mill for Bale on 300k a week, get Lacazette too, and if Ardan Turan comes, we will have a solid Attack 3.4.2.1 Lacazette ozil, Bale Kolasoniac, Xhaka, Ramsey / Turan, Sidibe / ox Holding, Boss, Mustafi 4.2.1.3 Ardan, Lacazette, Bale Ozil, Xhaka Ramsey Koslanic,, BOss, Mustafi, Sidibe
He is very risk averse when it comes to purchases unless he's a very
young player or a proven world -
class player... anything in between and he'll default to what he has, unless his hand is forced by way
of injury.
It's a old
player who realy don't do enything in his entire carrer.I don't want him.Wenger searching for old, cheap
players, but he want to win PL, IMPOSIBLE.If he want a world
class player, take Vidal, I think Juventus will sell one
of it
class midfielders now with Khedira come.My problem, it's the old 4 -2-3-1, the sistem that we play and simply doesn't work anymore, not with lazy
players like Ozil and worst strikers like Giroud.I think we can swamp Ozil with Gotze (he is
younger, work more and can play CM to if we need to), and maybe buy Sterling (for his speed and great cover
of a large area
of pich when the team need it).
He's one
of the
youngest players in the
class and perhaps not ready to make a big impact from day one, but has the sort
of skill set that fits in safely on most teams.
The
young and talented 24 - year - old Argentinian has the potential to be a world
class player — some even think he can reach the heights
of Lionel Messi.
Louis van Gaal's side need to have top -
class wide
players, as it has been proved time and time again that the likes
of Ashley
Young, Nani and Antonio Valencia simply do not have that quality.
The
young Rafael Varane may have edged ahead
of Pepe in the pecking order, but the Portuguese is still a top
class player and will be very hard to replace.
