Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

Nah he's not. He's been poor recently because he's been thrust in and out of the team and expected to form a defensive unit with whoever he's been paired up with which is hard for any defender to do. Remember how poor Monreal looked when he was only given the odd game here and there when he first joined, and yet he's our most consistent player right now. If he's given a run of games (which hopefully will happen as I personally want Bellerin to move forward until Ox/Ramsey gets fit) I think we'll see the best of him again.

Bear in mind that he's a French international RB, who was preferred over Sagna by France at the world cup. In a way I kind of feel sorry for him - he finally got his move to a top club right when he's hitting his peak years but a few unfortunate injuries (one of them thanks to a needless shove by Stoke thug) and the emergence of a truly world class fullback and our best one since Cashley has ruined his career here so far.

Stealing a living tbh...

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has been identified as a possible January target for Barcelona as the Spanish champions consider their options ahead of the Fifa-imposed transfer ban being lifted.

I was one of the people calling for Ozil to be sold last season when cesc was having a decent season and we were struggling but right now i dont think id swap him with anyone in his position, he has really stepped up and shown us what he is about.

He is 11 assist away from beating Henry's record of 20 assists.

Yes, I did, and I would still be shouting the same thing if he was being played on the left. Who knew playing a player in the right position would work? Astonishes me..

As for Walcott, I am done with his injuries.. if Barca want a Vermaelen Part 2, they are more than welcome. He can take his buddies with him while he goes as well (Wilshere, Rosicky, Gibbs)

He's had the most assists of any player in the PL in the timeframe he's been with us. Not just this season, since he started with us.
It's a complete misconception that he's only just become effective.

Re: Walcott, the injuries are annoying - this is always a difficult call. I thought we should cut our losses with RvP and then he had that 30 goal season.
Walcott is an asset if he can stay fit but I agree it's an increasingly big if.

Ozil reminds of Arshavin played on the wings. Arshavin made some crucial passes and scored some important goals, but he never seemed to impress over a period of time, and thats because of where he was played. Ozil luckily was brought back to his main position from the beginning of this year, or else we would still be having the conversation of 'if he is effective'. And mad props to him for proving his doubters wrong (me included).

About Walcott, he has nowhere near the technique of RVP or his skills. Walcott has two skills- he is fast and he makes good runs. His pace will go along with his injuries, so that'll leave him with his runs only. After more than a decade in which he has been on the injured list almost as long as the squads list, I do not have any more patience with him. We have invested on crocks like him many times (Diaby, Rosicky), and I think its time to be ruthless.
