Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

[Power n Glory]

Deep lying playmaker would definitely be the wrong position. He simply doesn't have the technical ability or composure on the ball that a Santi or Elneny has to function in the role. I think against weaker team at home he could play the role of CM alongside a passer Santi/Elneny as his work rate can compensate for the defensive muscle we'd lose but really, it needs to be on the right or behind the striker (like he does for Wales).

At any rate, we were already down about twenty or thirty goals last season and additionally with the most likely possibility of yet another window without a striker being bought, we really could do with Ramsey hitting his goal scoring stride and chipping in with 15 goals this season. I mean as majestic as Ozil is, his goal return is frankly not good enough for his position. I really wouldn't mind seeing Ozil/Ramsey alternating depending on the opposition and or the injury situation.

Yeah, I hear you. Behind the striker seems like an ideal position for him. Closer to the box butbi still worry about that lack of finesse with his control and passing. We'll see how the season pans out. Agree on Ozil also and think he needs to find his shooting boots. Be a bit more aggressive around the box..

He doesnt give the ball away as much as many think.

He also scored a winning goal in a cup final for the club.


Does this actually happen or do you want to think it happens?


Ramsey has flaws, but he is also a devastating player when used correctly. Our manager has not for a few years.

You said something earlier about Coquelin and Santi working together because they play closer together. That's what a midfield unit really should be doing and Ramsey often wanders too far up the pitch to support the attack.

You read the blog and you know what to expect but reading the comments infuriates me more. That in a nutshell is what the MAIN problem is at this club.. the fans who cant seem to separate Arsene from Arsenal. Unfortunately they are the majority and will do fuck all despite us underachieving year after year. We might as well give AW a lifelong contract and put us fans out of our misery of hope.

“I’ve said to our scouts to do the lower leagues because the good players are there now. Don’t forget we have many foreign players in the Premier League, but good English players have to go down to develop.”

And perhaps part of this has been put into practice already with the signing of 20 year old Rob Holding from Bolton this summer. Before that the last player signed from a lower division club was Carl Jenkinson from Charlton.

The club had to offer his father, a well-known singer, a gig at the Arsenal Charity Ball at the end of that season before the deal was agreed.

The board are complicit in giving him a platform to operate the way he does, as it's to their financial gain. However those comments on spending confirm pretty much everything we already suspected about him. He is the judge, jury and executioner at the club. Throw in those comments on having to calm down Gazidis, it's cast-iron. There is no hope with him as manager anymore, he holds far too much influence.
