Selling Ospina? :(
Goodbye Colombian flag.
If Wenger had changed into Mr Ruthless we wouldn't have offered pointless contracts to Rosicky or Arteta. I am a Rosicky fan but he won't play ahead of the likes of Santi, Rambo, Ozil or Jack & bearing in mind Wenger seems to think OX is a central midfielder, he will struggle to get a game next year with that lot in front of him. We also have to think of Zelalem & the young Polish lad. If they are ever going to given a chance they need to replace the likes of Arteta & Rosicky as back up midfielders.
No way. We need cover and both are good enough for cover. When things are going wrong, these two can at least steady the boat, especially Rosicky. If Santi were to get injured and Ramsey or Wilshere aren't working in as CM, Rosicky will guarantee a solid performance and getting our passing game and fluidity back. A one year contract does us no harm. We need a blend of youth and experience along with a big squad. Culling experience too soon again just repeats the pattern of the past. Besides influence on the field, we need strong experienced heads in the squad to guide the youth.
I think the squad is starting to look powerful, with some good depth to it. About time too, it has only taken 10 years. The advantage of squad depth is having a manager who knows how to best utilise it :doh:
Time to move for Vidal. He's at a low point right now having gone into full arsehole mode. A call from Wenger, some inside work from Alexis, get the bid in and get the job done. His energy and work rate alongside Alexis would make Matic and Hazard look like the fairy duet. Make it happen Wenger and stop pissing around playing Maureen's Cech games.
This.
Everyone bitched and moaned that the invincibles were culled too early and the squad lacked experience after that and now we want to repeat the same mistakes. :lol:
It's a long season with numerous games, especially if you want to go far in all four competitions.
Rosicky is still boss and should hopefully get some decent game time and as for Arteta, he's a magnificent club captain apparently and is primarily the main driver behind the fantastic team atmosphere at the club now by helping integrate all the cliques together. He's also top coach potential; no harm in him sticking around if he wants to either.
Flamini can fuck off though, even if he's Ozil's new BFF.
Totally disagree & your thoughts echo why we've become a second rate team when it comes to competing top level over the past decade. Are you seriously suggesting that Arteta is good cover if Coq is out - would Arteta get into a Chelsea or Man City team as a substitute DM. Did you not see the pressure our defense is under with Arteta in that role. Rosicky has been at the club a long time & has more than enough chances to become a 1st team regular. He is too inconstant & like Arteta wouldn't make any other top team. Players like Bielek & Zelalem could potentially be world class & shouldn't have to sit behind a couple of old farts who Wenger thinks are good professionals. Good professionals they may be, but not good enough.
We are now being linked with Lars Bender ( which I think is a good move for us ), as I do a move for Scheiderlin. Also a move for Draxler is being banded about again. If any off these turn into reality, Arteta & Rosicky would be too far down the pecking order & surplus to requirements. Unlike the younger lads mentioned above they have nothing to offer this club that could help us compete at the top table in the coming years.
