I love the fact that Arsenal is a family orientated club where no matter what happens everyone will get a fair chance to prove themselves, be it because of a loss of form or recovery from long term injury or even when trying to break into the 1st team from the
youth setup However I feel that new high profile signings such as Cech, Reus, (you add who you like) would lift the moral of the entire team and give many
players the confidence in their teammates that is
needed when going into big games.
I'm personally glad he's staying on another year, you can't ship out every

youth teams while his been injured defiantly a
player worth keeping around and a quality backup if

need to bring
youth and defense to their frontcourt, a
player with the caliber of a Rudy Gobert.
I actually think it is time we sell some of our
youth talents and recruit some more
players, it sound harsh but the reality is

need competitive competitions, Championship or league one even, where their growth will be seen over the season

youth players under a blanket, only releasing them when he absolutely

i think that the problem lays somewhere in the coaching set in the reserves and the first team we
need a better head coach and reserve team manager that will inspire the
players to make the step up and get then use to winning the reserve /
youth trophies at that young age not just to develop them for first team, but inject the winning mentality into them also.
o'connor - very good
player just
needs the playing time on loan to make the next step up to first team peleguezo - very highly though of by wenger and will be stepping up to the first team squad as a back up to chambers or mert, has the best chance for a

need to do better and promoting a few
youth team
players, whilst a good start, wont fill all the places we

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».
If Crowley was to stay at Arsenal for the upcoming season, it was likely we may have seen him in the early rounds of the domestic cup competitions, but aside from that, he would've been stuck amongst the
youth ranks and sadly the
youth team isn't known for giving
players that professional edge that they
need when developing as a youngster.
I'm a fan of Carvalho and AMN has attributes to be even better... I may be biased though towards a AFC
youth product XD AMN not only has what I said, he is also a good passer of the ball and good at going past a
player when he
needs to.
That's why we used
youth players like Ashley Cole over signing new
players each time we
needed a gap filling.

i feel that the summer break was just over and don't
need to make
players rest some are still not match fit yet, yes give some bench

youth and bench
players
Yes take the risk but arteta & flamini can't both start, I'd rather take one of the
youth players, I think Campbell will
need to perform if he doesn't want to be glued to the bench
I've seen a bit of Reiss Nelson and I see him as a No10 in a free role.He will find it very tough to claim that spot for a few seasons but this boy does have tremendous ability and potential.We
need to get him as much game time in the League as just being in the team will help his learning curve.Next season in the Europa and Carabao Cup is when we can give him a run out centrally as an attacking midfielder.This is a serious talent who will be a tremendous footballer.Lets hope we can bring him on like we used to in the past with our young
players coming up through the
youth ranks.It seems too long since we have done this.

youth players.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12 months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or
youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our
need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we
need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that
player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special
players and certainly can't help make the
player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we
need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper
players in the final third... he was never a good defensive
player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model
needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we
need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a
player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand
players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has left a largely complacent and complicit Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those
players who demanded more and were left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
After what Sanches said about «he wants champions league footbal next season» that's defenaitly saying he wants to leave and just put the price up of every
player we are after and worst deferred from joining us, he should of kept his mouth shut until we finished our deal, so let's do what clubs like Man - U do with
players, don't sell him to rivals teams let them train with

players in the

players now, Wenger complaining about Man utd not bringing thru
youth, when was the last top
youth player to come thru into the utd team an shine?its been a long time even when Fergie was there.Most of our best youngsters come to us in their teens, we don't bring most of them thru from under 10 years old
Let's play another
youth player I midfield.We will not
need anyone who is starting on Sunday as the job was done in the first leg.
Another aspect is I think coaching, scouting and
youth players are going to become more important in the near future as there seems to be less talent at the very top of the game with some clubs able to hoard talent (Chelsea loan
players) and also the
need to have 25 world class
players in your squad rather than 15.

players.

player in the centre of the field is what we
need right now.
