    Why isn't Joel Campbell being picked ahead of Sangogo?

    What is Wenger playing at?

    Dunno. Wenger said he wants to hang on to him though and we're only one game in, so lets see. He might get a chance soon.

    He's going to be sold or more likely loaned out before the end of the window.

    Get his fitness back he ran himself into the ground at world cup. I imagine if he doesn't get sold he'll get a run in the cups this year.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

    When Wenger makes up his mind about a pet project. He goes about it with the single mindedness of a zealot. Criticising him or the player will just make him more adamant to prove everyone wrong.
    He will continue to play Sanogo even when it is obvious to the blind that he isnt good enough. Fair play to Wenger he gives kids a chance, but shouldn't that be for special kids like Cesc?, Reyes. Instead he continued to play Eboue, Senderos, Djourou, even when they were costing us games and points. It all goes back to his personal philosophies and the absence of pressure on him to succeed. If your job was on the line, you wouldn't allow your subordinates to mess you up further. Campbell is a better player, Akpom probably too, but they wont get a look in until it is overwhelmingly and conclusively proven that Yaya wont make it, Sometime circa 2017, I think.

    Sanogo is Sunday league quality and i mean that. He doee not have anything about him that worries defenders. Campbell is more experienced and has scored goals in big leagues before so should be automatically ahead of Sanogo.

    I think Wenger sees Campbell as a wide forward ala Theo or Alexis, Sanogo is seen as a Centre Forward, essentially Giroud's number two.

    Wenger obviously sees something in Sanogo, I kind of do too but I would prefer if he was developed away from our first team, ideally at another PL Club. IMO The problem we face at the moment is that Sanogo hasn't really shown enough promise/potential to be viewed as an attractive loan for another PL club so we are stuck with developing him in our first team.

    FWIW, I do think he will come good, he reminds me of Ade when he first came here.

    - Absolutely spot on.

    Jenkinson's script has to be the best of all time. What with having generations before him sticking to it for decades.
