    Not really, we need to get him gone and a replacement in sooner rather than stringing it out to the end of the window like we always do.

    Get the players in and out and be done and dusted so we can get on with things.

    Sick and tired of the 'saga's' tbh

Now Lacazette seems to be catching the same disease. I wonder what the common factor is? Can't imagine.
    Unproductive for certain games because he’s totally reliant on service, much like Lacazette and Giroud. But what makes it worse for Theo is that he’s spent his career playing on the wing and as a winger. As a winger, he can’t just focus on scoring goals and getting on the end of moves and finishing. Wingers have to be able to create situations for others and themselves.

    Lacazette and Giroud are at least being played in their natural position and we can see what type of service they need and how the system would best serve them. For Theo, I can’t see a system where you’d be able to get away with playing a number 9 out wide. No coach does that. From the numbers he gets goal wise, Wenger should have seen ages ago that he should have played Theo up front but he doesn’t like traditional number 9 style strikers. Never has.

    Theo’s a result of an experiment gone wrong. If Ox were to have continued playing on the wing or if Jack or Ramsey were to be played on the wing all the time, we’d get the same sort of inconsistency from these players. We’ve seen it. Cautionary tale for any young player thinking about joining Arsenal and Wenger. Maitland Niles and Nelson should pay attention.

    Thought Wenger said Sanchez situation would be resolved within 48 hours one way or the other?

    Got to say regarding Walcott, where were the signs of real talent, those flashes of brilliance exhibited by players with true potential, never really saw these. He was quick and his finishing improved in later life, but overall there was nothing outstanding about him and he just wasn't effective enough, just like Giroud he was most effective when brought on as a sub against tired defences, then his pace would give him an advantage. Whenever he started a match most of the time he was poor.

    I thought you’d learnt to take whatever Wenger says with the same barrel of salt as anything Donald Trump says

    Same thing with Aubameyang, a player that needs good players around him. If Wenger expects to stick him wide and play the Theo/ Alexis role he's going to have wasted 60 mill. We need to change our system if these players are really coming in. Trying to fit them into the same tired old shit for another go around will result in the same nothingness we have been suffering for a seeming eternity. Surely Wenger can't make the same mistake again?

    But he can, can't he? And he will.

    Same Wenger who said he wouldn't sell our star players to rivals? Or a different Wenger?

    That said, Wenger hasn't technically lied. He's turned us into such a pile of shit it's fair to say Utd and the gypos aren't our rivals any more.

    Every Arsenal fan can name one moment of brilliance from Theo. Just one particular moment that we'd all agree on that was brilliant. You can't be that biased to not recognise or remember what I'm talking about.
