Winter Transfer Window - Cold and Lonely.

[Özim]

I think we have enough bodies but quality wise......the central midfield needs addressing. Again. We haven't come close to replicating our best performance since Cazorla got injured.

Also, we need a winger. A proper goal scoring, playmaking winger and not a striker playing wide or a central player being asked to do a job wide.

It's not much but in terms of selection, we don't have much to work with in these areas. The quality isn't there unless we rejig the whole system and we know that won't happen under Wenger and so late on in the season.

I agree, our squad is decent but it's nowhere near complete, a top striker is a must, again agree about the winger, we're always putting player on the wing who aren't winners, but someone who can weigh in with goals as well would be handy. We also do need someone to come in for Cazorla, or some sort of leader who can dictate from there, I'd also add a left back is a must.

Come on, surely by now you've realised we're not in it and never will be with the manager we have, , we don't have a hope of winning the title, we've shown this time and time and time and time again, yes we appear to be in the mix but come crunch time we'll fall away faster than a large rock dropped from space.

There is no ifs with this club, just when, as in when we'll collapse like a house of cards.

Well, I think you're probably right and if we fold against Chelsea as I suspect we will or mess things up tonight then it's same old Arsenal.
But if we knew for sure then we wouldn't follow it. What would be the point?

I don't think we are in anyway lacking goals this season, it's just character, consistency and fluidity......


a world class striker would be lovely, but Lewandowski, Aubemeyang, Griezmann.......outside of football manager how realistic do you think it would be to have signed one of these three in january?

i'd like cover at right back because jenkinson is terrible but overall i'm reasonably happy with the squad, just not the manager presiding over it.

I think we have the fire power with Alexis up front. I can't see many top strikers out there that has his ability to score, be a playmaker and has pace along with power. His presence opens things up for our limited 'wingers' /wide strikers at least. But I still feel as though we need an elite winger to help out. Giroud up from inhibits the attack too much. His game has too much of a knock on effect for other players in a negative way.

Even a win at Chelsea isn't going to convince anyone now.

Careless defeat tonight, not a chance in hell we can last the distance. They're just not driven enough.

I was going to make that point earlier but I thought the same last season. There are no odd games that will give us any indication of how this season will end. We could have won tonight and beat Chelsea but then go on to lose at home to Hull. We're a just a disappointment.

[Marc Overmars]

It's just the same hallmarks of failed years gone by.

You can live in hope but deep down we all know how it's going to end.

Same shit, different toilet.

Agreed. If we'd won last night then a win at Chelsea would have put us 3 points behind, right back in it. But, as far too often, we fail to do what we need to and even a win at Chelsea would see us 6 points behind. The more likely outcome is we'll be 12 points behind and out of it, even a draw leaves us 9 points behind and we're not making that up. Twats.
