So arsenal's rate of improvement will be much greater than those of the teams around them because...

Because?

[Ollie the Optimist]

we arent a weaker team then last season because of the players we have got rid of, none of them were first team players, except gervinho but he rarely played. we are at the same level, others have strengthened though, while we remain the same citing bullshit why we cant sign players.

I'm pleased about the players who have gone but I am concerned it leaves the squad a bit thin (especially without Arshavin, lolz).

[Ollie the Optimist]

have we got enough players to make a full bench for saturday? is it worth fans bringing their boots to help out?

[Özim]

You don't get better by default but if you have a fairly young side which is stable (i.e. not losing key players) then you should expect some improvement the following season.

Kinda depends how good those young players are. Let's not forget we've had young sides for a long time now and seen little or no real progression, some youngsters have gone backwards.

I'm pleased with the players we got rid of on the whole, but some of those players did have some good matches too and like you've said the squad does look thin as we've made no real effort to try and replace them.

Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does

I don't think Ox or Jack will go backwards, they'll only get better IMO.
We have stagnated for years because we've failed to invest and lost too many good players.
At least we haven't done the latter this summer even if we've done the former again.

I agree, the problem is with Wilshire whether he stays fit, no guarantee about that given his recent injury record. Ox Chamberlain has been disappointing I must admit, he's got huge potential but last season he did little and didn't really seem to progress, thought he was better the season before.

out of the current lot, wilshere, ramsey, jenkinson, ox, gibbs just keep on improving. while we have had a young side, the current youngsters are getting better and are first team players, rather then kids in the first team if that make sense. we have some new youngsters like akpom, zelalem, eisfield who might be the next big thing, but with fuck all else to choose from given we have not got decent squad depth, they are likely to play a lot more then they should be next season, with too much pressure on them
