Winter Transfer Speculation

[hobson's choice]

I just want a Central Midfielder, a real one, someone who actually has the skill and knows how to play the position properly.

[Niall_Quinn]

Seems we're signing a complete nobody who "has potential". Whether he has a broken back or not, I don't know.

[hobson's choice]

With the long term injuries we are in desperate need of re-enforcements. I really hope that Wenger doesn't gamble on the likes of Wilshere and Welbeck coming back to fitness.

A holding mid and forward are essential in January.

Also, is Rosicky alive?

No a real central midfield is essential, we need to stop pretending that Ramsey is anything more than just average CM with a good engine.

Can we get a new manager this transfer window?

Absolutely disgusted by that performance, no passion, no appetite the players just didn't seem to care....Southampton weren't even that good we just didn't turn up.

Wenger should have apologised to the fans for that lethargic display but he made a load of half hearted criticisms of the referee (who actually gave us the benefit of the doubt more than we deserved at times). And more importantly he didn't seem to care that we had blown the chance to go top, it was like "what are you going to do".

It's a conundrum. I can't explain that sort of performance and we see it so often. Do you think we'd have won if we had a 3 o'clock kick off and didn't know Leicester City had lost and Man City won? I don't think it's a case of the players not caring even though the performance says otherwise. We've heard it all from the players and coach saying they are ready, contenders, they want silverware....

I wouldn't say they are unaware of the stakes. I think this is a serious case of performance anxiety. This is limp dick territory! Stage fright! What makes this even more nuts is the fact that every Wenger team seems to have this problem. Even our very best teams under Wenger would suffer from stage fright in Europe. I really don't understand how this can always happen despite so many changes in personnel on the pitch. I always thought it was a youth thing in the early Emirate days but that's just not the case anymore. We have experienced internationals, world cup winners...? They really need to do a study on Wenger's leadership style. Is it possible for a coaches anxiety to always transfer to the players?

[Marc Overmars]

Wanyama looked good.

I am hoping Wumger would sign another wide forward or wide no 10. Without Alexis and Cazorla, we don't have a ball carrier high up the pitch. Feo, Oxlade and Joel are pretty useless at this. Bring back those days of Cisc, Hleb and Rozza where we created 20 chances per game. Hazzah, Greizmann or Deulofeu would be nice.

Lol Wenger signing some poverty Egyptian CDM

Apparently he's like a young Flamini, raw but lots of potential and he'll be happy on the bench when we bring in our big summer signings Welbeck and Wilshere.
