Match Reaction vs Citeh (home).

[selassie]

This is where I disagree to an extent. Seeing how we struggled to just get the basics right with us struggling just to get out of our own half and not pressing City enough, I don’t think we’re at a stage where we can introduce that many new signings into this team. We definitely need more quality in the wide areas but as seen from the City game, we need to get the foundations right and build on that. See what the current players are able to do and if we can build a structure around that.

In DIY terms, it’s like buying all the supplies before actually doing a proper inspection on the project you’re working on and not taken down the measurements. We’d end up overspending. We need to establish what works and what’s junk.

I actually think we’re more or less on the same page here P’n’G, I just think we are articulating it slightly differently. I totally get where you are coming from and totally understand that we can’t just buy our way into top 4 with a brand new team. However I would have hoped for us to make a few signings of real quality instead of this mishmashed window of what I would term slight hit and hope.

I am happy to be proven wrong and laughed at come the end of the season, I want we all want on here, for Arsenal to do well.

I am fully behind the new regime and am desperate for us to do well but I do have major concerns about our strategy, it doesn’t fully make sense to me.

Emery has a huge job on his hands, he has to repair a damaged ship as well as integrate new parts to it. I’m not convinced some of the damaged parts can be repaired, we all know who these players are. How much time do they really need to be given? Some of them are in third season in PL and quite frankly have gotten worse. They aren’t kids either.
