Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[selassie]

Wenger just needs to spend this summer teaching the players how to find space behind defenders and how to dribble. We’re too focused on short passing and playing in front of defenders instead of getting behind them. It’s down to the way we train with the focus on passing drills and 5 aside games. Players stop taking risks and it gets monotonous. I’m already seeing it with Cazorla. He’s not a marauding dribbler type but he has nifty footwork and can get out of tight spaces, wrong footing the best of defenders when he’s on his game and weaving through tight spaces when closed down. I’ve seen less of that sort of trickery this season and he’s spraying the ball more and getting rid of it quicker. When receiving the ball in tight spaces, he’s getting caught and losing possession. It happened with Gervinho, Arshavin, Hleb and Nasri. After the first season they stopped taking as many touches and chose the easy option. Besides runners, we need more dribblers to make something happen instead of passing it backwards or sideways if their path is blocked.

Yep, Wenger has had an obsession over "tika taka" for quite a while. To be fair, we have varied our play a bit more this season though once the likes of Theo and Ramsey got crocked we reverted back to "tika tika".

I totally agree with your observation regarding Gervinho, Arshavin, Hleb and Nasri.

He may be a paceless midget, but silky?

You should have seen me run for a bus this morning.

I was like Usain Bolt.

We will make the usual free signing with some frecnh kid playing in the reserves and on the fringes of the under 21 interantional french squad, whilist Man City, Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool will all strengthen with top players.

Yeah, we made no major signings last summer.

But but Mesut Ozil and Yaya Sanogo dont count as major signing.

Yaya more or less wipes out the value of any other signing TBF.

How do you solve a problem like Sanogo

He got something special in him, he knows how find little pockets in the penalty box to create chances for himself. You cannot teach that, it is a talent. I believe he will get better next season.

That turd van Gaal looks set to be the next Utd boss. He'll be a massive flop and plunge the club into an even bigger pit - so this is excellent news. Apparently his #1 target is Muller. Please make this happen.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

don't know if he'll be a massive flop, it's all relative anyway

He doesn't exactly have to do much to better this season just gone, as for them winning the title?....no chance...don't care who they bring in.
