If you want to insult the club because of a player, at least call him by his correct name.....HINT * it's not Krystal

But your point is solid, each time Bielik played, he looked solid whether in midfield or in the center of defense. The common refrain with youth football is it doesn't necessarily translate but he played cup games and looked massive. He's out on loan, the best hope is that he gains something from that loan. I had him pegged ahead of AMN for the defensive roles i.e. defense and DM but AMN has stolen the show so the fact is unless we're watching them everyday, it's hard to tell who is where in terms of development.

Nah only Ozil can do that

Why in the world would only Ozil be able to do that?

I like AW, and think he is one of the true greats in football, but Arsenal has lost its way. There is little or no connection between the transfers and the philosophy on the field of play.

The signing of Ozil appeared to herald a new approach, but the club has failed to surround him with the right players and a defined approach, so much that it appears from hindsight, Arsenal simply stumbled on good fortune.

And, the same appears to be happening with Auba and Mikhi.

The product is a badly unbalanced squad, with no clear philosophical direction...

That was a terrible game against Spurs at Wembley. Yes, LFC fared worse at same venue, but every sign pointed to a bad day at the office.

The Arsenal case is much worse than a one off....

@Amaf, in a more advanced station, Grannut will be able to, not only get stuck in, but put his foot in and when necessary, leave it there.

Agreed, pace comes at an unaffordable premium and thus the secret weaponry then becomes the slow, lethargic plod towards the oppositon area, slow enough to feature Emeka Ike in a Nollywood flashback. Slow enough to onside and late with the challenge. How footed? Two please. Studs? Enough. Colour? Red and a decent all in thereafter. Wilshere goes in, El Neny goes in. Two good men, giving best. The league is gone and thus there's only one title left to play for. Derby defeat, nothing at the whistle, nothing in the tunnel. That's the real embarassment.

Please explain what you mean when you say that Arsenal has failed to surround him with the right players. Isn't Aubameyang one of the fastest players in the league? Isn't Lacazette one of the best scorers in Europe? Aren't Wilshere and Mikha some of the best passers in the game?
What types of players does Ozil need around him? Giroud wasn't good enough. Sanchez wasn't good enough. Walcott wasn't good enough. Welbeck is not good enough and Oxlade were not good enough.
What exactly does he need? Ronaldo? Messi? Iniesta?
Or is it possible that he is the wrong type of players to build a team around?

This is a $350k/week pass. Too bad, Iwobi doesn't have a good agent. I believe Iwobi is still on $30k/week.

What you describe here is the primary role of a DM. Dier also plays in central defense for Spurs.
During the press conference, Wenger lamented the goal chance missed by Laca at the end of the game. I don't remember him actually mentioning the complete lack of coverage, which had Spurs strikers/midfielders open in the box 4-5 times. Harry Kane alone had 3 clear shots at the goal.
Wenger is only worried about how many chances his team creates. He is not worried about the defensive behavior of his team. This should really tell you everything you need to know about this team.
Arsenal will NEVER improve defensively, as long as Wenger coaches. This is a reality you learn to live with.
Place 6 in the EPL is proof that this approach is not working.

I'm talking about buying with a strategic intent. The squad is badly unbalanced. You have not replaced Santi. Kolasiniac is not an Arsenal type wing-back. Mustafi is a good back-up to have, but a back up...Wilshere is damaged goods and was never the smartes player anyways...

If Lacazette was such a wonderful buy, why did you need to spend another 50mil on Auba? Because he is a back-up striker, much like Giroud.

But more important question is: HOW DO ALL THESE PLAYERS FIT INTO THE STRATEGIC (TACTICAL) DIRECTION OF THE CLUB?

Some of them are ball players with superb technique, like Sanchez, others are carpenters like Wellbeck...What is the rationale for El Neny? And Coq before him....

You are just buying players, but the connection to a strategic intent is lacking.

It was there when AW brought Viera and Petit alongside him; or Wiltord to cut in from wide; or Kanu besides Bergkamp....

The loss to Tottenham, however painful is not the reason we are so far behind. It is the dropped points against Bournemouth, West Brom, Watford, Stoke, Swansea etc that has killed us off. And a good number of these points were dropped from winning positions.

I agree the balance is not right, funny enough the last transfer window is a positive one one the offensive end. What we need is a positive summer on the defensive and midfield side of things to turn things around. Fairly obvious to me that we need a new GK, 2 CB’s (Mustafi will leave this summer), a right back and a DM. Arsenal have fantastic players but don’t have the defensive platform for them to play well especially away from home, it is a bit like Man Shitty last season...except that we are not scoring goals

You no get brain, do ya calculation

Despite an investment on Laca (£55m) Aubu (£58), Perez(£17), Xhaxa (£35m) and Mustafi (£35M) , we are 27 points Mancity.

Ahahahahahahahah see criminal Olodo with Ogboju ole .... Mugu Arsenal actually made a transfer profit:THIS YEAR!!!!!

Foolish olodo, Xhaka, Perez and Mustafi were not bought this season .... You, like Waffi, are entitled to ya opinions but not your own set of fables masquerading as FACTS
