I agree and even though the Community Shield against Chelsea next weekend is not that important in the grans scheme of things I think we need to show that last weekend was a blip and just as a fast start in the Premier League is important I think a strong start to our Emirates Cup would be handy so let's not have some inexperienced
young midfielder playing on the right of defence.

midfield to break up
play like gueye would be ideal, now with Saed and one or two

midfield players) COYG

midfield and he doesn't seem to be a injury prone as diaby he has a good general skill set am sure wenger can convince him with plenty of game time any
young french player knows wengers rep with youngsters he should jump at the chance to work with wenger NOW with a bit of strength work he could be a handy d / m also if wenger could mould him to

1 - 1 purely because wenger will pick wrong line up, Santi at 32 can not
play 3 games in a week especially the role he
plays he covers a lot of ground & against psg he got run ragged by
younger / stronger
midfielders.
He did
play rugby at a
younger age so he may have the steel we need as a holding
midfielder.
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
Most of them will be pure speculation or made up without any basis in fact, but right now we have had confirmation that the Gunners have been looking at a
young Turkish
midfielder called Yusuf Yacizi, who currently
plays for Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
I know that they are not exactly the same sort of player, but the Arsenal pair of Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade - Chamberlain do have quite a bit in common and Arsene Wenger has

midfielder while the Chile international is really a striker first and foremost.
I want you to be more of a Lampard son because you can... get us 15 goals each season before you ultimately retire here and i will make a stature myself and plant it at the emirates if they don't... Guys i know these kid is not Iniesta but he works his ass off, he is a fighter, he is
young, he loves arsenal and most most important, HE SCORES PLENTY OF GOALS FROM
MIDFIELD...

young talent, it could be a big risk bringing the 17 - year - old in for such an early taste of Premier League action, particularly when he has generally

played at Sevilla in La Liga then went onto Monaco, for one so
young he's done more than you know and it's not just against Arsenal, the Juventus game he held his own that was a tight 2 legged affair he wasn't overwhelmed by facing a
midfield trio of Vidal, Pirlo and Pogba
Pogba has matured into arguably one of the hottest
young talents in world football,
playing a pivotal role in back to back Serie A triumphs and becoming a regular in Didier Deschamps national team set - up, and Louis van Gaal will look to welcome the starlet back to form the back - bone of his
midfield.
Now our central
midfielder Mathieu Flamini is not available to
play, so Wenger has had to put Calum Chambers along with Francis Coquelin in central
midfield and we have to hope that the inexperienced

Someone said that it will utilize 5 Defender in four... i have clarified — this system when typically deployed will take up 6
Midfielders, 3 defenders and 1 attacker... 5 defender may come in when the game we are
playing is against a tough opponent and we have the slim lead... occasionally... The issue about Man United's LvG trial should not scare anyone from looking at our own strengths and
playing through them — We are faster, we are
younger, we are more technically adept and maybe we can implement this best...
Arsenal fans have been well aware of how well the
young French
midfielder Francis Coquelin has been
playing, since Arsene Wenger recalled him early from a loan spell at Charlton towards the end of last year, because he was faced with an injury crisis.
We need a
young keeper to eventually replace cech (donnuramma, lafont fom toulouse or butland if we can't get those two) we also must have a creative
midfield player to replace cazorla (naby Keita, rabiot) a hard tackler to break up the
play (idriss gueye, nzonzi) and a striker lacazette / aubameyang / belotti... keep him at all costs but if Sanchez leaves costa, dembele from Dortmund, or mpabbe but I don't think that he's feasible, not mahrez too lazy for me if Alexis is leaving I want a world class player to replace our superstar who runs everywhere and never stops fighting for the ball not a one season wonder who's gonna leave every two years for the African cup and never tracks back.
We need to replace flamini with Some decent Player, Might be with a
young player but at least a proper Converting in to a DM makes Some doubt so we need some one who is a Real DM like Coq who can Grow in to a Destroyer and can

midfield of Gilberto and viera.
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).
Although Matthieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta have both returned from injury, they are both getting long in the teeth and are unlikely to be able to
play all season, and most Arsenal fans are still clamouring for a
younger stronger defensive
midfielder to be able to step in if (god forbid) anthing untoward happens to Francis Coquelin.
It sounds like Wenger is ready to throw the
young Spaniard in at the deep end, but he does have more defensive options in Mathieu Flamini and Francis Coquelin, the two French
midfielders who have both
played their on occasion.
Mathias Pogba is the
midfielder's other more senior sibling, and Florentin's twin, and he is also in on the family business,

play in his preferred
midfield position, with Josh DaSilva at left back (another option in
midfield is Mohamed Elneny).
If Rodgers plans on rectifying the situation, he needs to begin implementing a rotational policy so that overplaying doesn't i) hinder
young player's development, and ii) leave our forwards and
midfielders gassed and unable to
play with intensity.
