Disconcerting that Arsenal may partake another trolley dash window, particularly with ever declining Wenger at the helm.

Think Gooners delusional if we think old man Wenger can get anything out of diva like auba. This is more desperation trolley dashing, it won't remotely fix systemic black holes that are Arsenal defense, midfield, GK and Wenger never ending culture of capitulation.

People keep mentioning one player after another but the problem is not the players.

the problem is that the players no longer have confidence in the manager.....
contrary to what fake news is coming from the emirates, the fans have lost confidence in the board and the manager

"very low level." Odiegwu!

I doubt Arsenal will be interested in taking on a £200k p/w bench warmer to Arsenal.

So who is Arsenal interested in? Lukaku? Hazard? Silva? De Bruyne? Harry Kane?

It usually takes a while, but at some point, you guys will realize your level.

It reminds of the man who was once wealthy, and then loses all his money. yet, he still tries to go to the restaurants he used to eat when he had money.

Oxlade Chamberlain who was considered to be either useless or stagnant seems to be doing quite well at liverpool. he already scored same amount of goals as he scored for arsenal in 71 games.....that thing called coaching actually works...unlike at the circus where the manager has the audacity to say stuff like this after another circus show...'We were 1-0 up and suddenly we lost two goals and we don’t know where they came from',

Is this for real? What was he doing at Arsenal? Just collecting their money and playing ten-ten Only 9 goals..mesan pere? Something is wrong with that mickey mouse club.

They had a counter attacking player playing possession football and expected him to be successful.

I prefer Waffi's stats to this one. Kilometers covered, tackles, dribbles, amount of water/Gatorade drank, and corresponding amount of sweat released. Sideways, forward or back passes, interceptions, etc. All of these will show that he was a MONSTER in Arsenal kit. But ordinary people like us, wey never go Emirates before no fit see am.

Uncle Waffi, I dey joke o....maybe

looks like any player worth their salt would never consider AFC a serious team to join......
only castoffs looking to revive their career are now noteworthy......
this is the legacy of a clown of a coach.....
only a new coach with a new direction and vision is the answer

It buggles the mind that some people still believe this team will get better anytime soon. The earlier you emotionlessly watch the team, the better for you guys.

It took me long but I managed to detach myself from Arsenal....watching it as if it is comedy is more fun than when watching it with the expectation of seeing a good football match......whats more fun than watching your wingback(AMN), supposedly defensive midfielder(Xhaka) and two centre backs (Chambers and Holding) vacating the whole field whilst trying to block a cross but somehow all 4 of them couldnt .....and to add more spice to the fun....listen to the elite comedian....Arsene 'richard pryor' Wenger giving a post match interview (I dont know how we conceded 2 goals what the **** is that...you are a %$#@^& coach for goddamn sake).

Hate to put Droopy Mezut and Alexis in the same category of the likes of Cesc, Viera and Henry, but they all came to Arsenal as cast offs ... and all revived their careers save for the first mentioned sloth

Arsenal cannot compete for those players.
Arsenal however CAN compete for the best young stars, post-arsine, this will come back. The fact is the club has some allure even with the current struggles. It's not Man United or City but there is something there and the way forward is to embrace that.
Arsene has to go though. The sooner that bridge is crossed, the better for the club.

What is the hype about Wiltshire, is it because he is English ? He was very average today and inconsistent. Rumours that Aresenal are closing in on huge £98m double swoop for Malcom and Aubameyang

1st of all Jack has been playing a woo the fanbase game b4 he got really fit - hanging out with ArsenalfanTV regulars etc - he wants a
phat wage on his next contract though we now hear there will be a few bonus clauses to make him earn his keep.
I think his form & fitness have improved - sure not to the levels of the hype.
He played well today - i prefer him as a deep lying midfielder with a DM holding fort - we'd Xhaka today making those Ramsey runs -
our team balance's the issue & as long as AW stays with the madness we'll have a pitiful GD column.

Jack has improve, but he is not top class, he wouldn't be considered by any of the top 6 clubs on a free transfer, on his wage package. I doubt any EPL team will be willing to pay him more than £60k per week. Arsenal need to learn from the expensive contract they gave Walcott.

Xhaka, was responsible for the second goals, ball watching again, he allowed Jordan Ibe to 'Walk' past him

So you at least appreciate why Jack has been ingratiating himself with ArsenafanTV guys, putting out IG pics showing him watching game film at home after matches. It got a little extra when dude starts to tell us about his awesome diet just 6wks in - Novak was several yrs in B4 telling the world about it.
Xhaka's the no.10 for the Swiss national team - his defensive instincts reflect that.

Curious to see how Lacazette fits in if the Aubameyang rumors are true. Does he get shifted out wide in the Sanchez role or get benched? He had a brilliant season for Lyon playing out wide/support striker with Gomis as the point man

I think Laca will drop for Aubameyang to lead the line....and this will be the case even if AW decides to play 2 upfront. Laca is a better footballer technically. I hope the move comes off, Arsenal are about to become a different proposition altogether going forward with him.

Aubameyang imho is the fastest player off the ball in World football and is also very quick with it. His presence alone will win us 10 -15 extra yards vs. Opposition defenders, and tactically that should give our technicians (Ozil, Malcom?, Xhaka and Wilshere) more space to work and our midfield some breathing space from the pressing of opposition teams.

We are losing Sanchez who is a BEAST of a player, Aubameyang is not as pretty but is a BEAST as well and he is a goal machine.

Arsenal may be late to the party and progress may be slow but some fantastic business is being done in the last 2 transfer windows in and out of the club. It is best to leave moaners to moan, the same people were moaning when we were buying Alexis Sanchez..the same player some clubs now want to pay £30M+for with 6 months left on his contract, though sad for us it shows yet again the club knows how to buy good players and improve them.

I just feel we need that ball winner in midfield, we are too open due to the sort of midfielders we are playing and the shape we have to play them in.

and Giroud?

In FIFA all these makes sense. But its a world cup year

That we need to be aggressive in this window for players gets more obvious by the hr. Seems like no player from ManU wants in & they leak with glee -(it's where we find ourselves). Alexis's agent doesn't do a % of his client's contract (commission)- with ManU willing to offer anything moving + high consulting fees demanded by agent - loyalty & admiration for Pep by Alexis is becoming a distant memory.
We must hold on to Ozil - allowing him to go to ManU giving his chemistry with Alexis will be very detrimental to our cause.
You see Chelsea has brought in Danny Drinkwater to play alongside N'Golo Kanté - those 2 were part of a EPL winning side - great investment

I expect him to probably line up wide left like Titi did when he went to Barca but most of his football will be very close to the other
striker Laca or Oli - he'll be given freedom to roam with the least tracking back responsibility - tactically our non-existent midfield
shield needs to come into play - when our LFBs get healthy - it's imperative Maitland-Niles plays as DM - he helps prevent any FB backing up Auba from being doubled down .

Mkhitaryan and Ozil for Arsenal.....hmm, these people over at HQ wan kill one jersey buying fan.
