Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

Last year we gave coquelin a £100k a week bumper long term contract

The management of this club is a shambles

The manager is a cockwomble

Welbeck is absolute rubbish, the day we signed him people decided the signing despite the fact the guy had been useless at Man U and couldn't hit a barn door with a Banjo. This guy was signed as a cheap option instead of buying someone decent, hasn't improved one bit in his time here and what's more his shooting is worse than ever, awful footballer.

Rumours are he's turned down the offer of a new contract from us, the question is why would we be offering this guy a contract in the 1st place, the sooner we get rid the better.

One of the few players that actually will keep it wide and actually try and get in behind the defence

The other being kolasinac but I’m talking about primarily attacking players most of whom want to play the ball through the middle of the park.

I’d rather we invested in genuine wide players, but frankly at this moment in time at least I’d rather have Welbeck there than Iwobi or Walcott.

This is a rapidly developing danger at Arsenal. Some of our players have been so mismanaged and so mis-coached they don't look like professional footballers any more. But we do have a few that can still do the basics fairly competently. They aren't world class (that's for sure), and they wouldn't get a sniff at any major club, but compared to the players at Arsenal who are regressing season by season, these basic and borderline competent players start to look good - comparatively.

Welbeck is a deeply, deeply flawed player. Which is why Utd let him go of course. The fans there loved him too for his work ethic, but that was all. But he's not a snail's paced, static, cowering player on the pitch so he stands out. Put him in a team of motivated and organised players and he'd be the weak link pretty damn quickly.

Garbage player. I had hopes Wenger would sharpen him up but no luck at all. Herb thinks he provides something on the wing but I disagree. I don't recall a performance from him that's even close to some of the best of what we saw from Joel Campbell.

Up front, the guy is garbage. He's worse than Giroud. Despite having this supposed power, pace and mobility, he hardly moves around the box and he has that same static effect Giroud has on the team but it's worse because he's got no end product. A blunt knife that can't strike the ball properly. No fucking way should he be starting up front ahead of guys like Perez. No idea why Wenger has kept this guy in the fold but frozen way more effective players out.

tbf, Wenger struggled initially to take away Welbeck's mobility and his desire to take on opponents. In his first season he was a disaster, often injecting rapid forward bursts of play into the otherwise sedate proceedings. This season Wenger seems to have a handle on it and Danny looks a lot more comatose.

Bit harsh on Welbz. I like his energy and work rate especially in big games like derbies. You can tell he's been schooled by Fergie.

Been crap since his injury though.

[fakeyank]

Frankly, I like Coq more than Xhaka. Xhaka is probably one of the worst Arsenal players I have seen in the last decade!

Oh well, there's our business done for the window then.
