with all this contract *******s going on I think we are in a crap situation no matter how Wenger spins it.
And as for Ozil appears to be staying. Hasn't signed a contract though has he?

Unless we inject some ideas into the team we may struggle. There were a couple of players missing but our pre-season has been really poor.
Here we go again. Groundhog day.
Wenger thinks our squad is good enough. Half our fans think Wenger is good enough. So the cycle of failure continues.
Buzzing.
Our squad is almost good enough. But only if we keep Alexis and Ox and add a leelte bit more.
The real failure is in not offloading the lengthening queue of players who are or may be surplus to requirements: Jenkinson, Debuchy, Gibbs, Elneny, Ospina, Walcott, Giroud, Chambers etc.
Just another two years againQuote:

Not saving this money is one of the reasons why we can't bring better players in. I didn't say I'd get rid of all those by the way - Giroud is a good last-resort, Chambers deserves a chance. But players who aren't good enough and unhappy - like Lucas Perez and Ospina - should not even be playing pre-season friendlies, hogging places which can be used to blood young players.
I wish they would just make a decision and sell Sanchez and get on with it.Quote:

I thought the beginning to the transfer window is quite promising. I know the window is open for the rest of the month but it would be nice to start the season for once with the team ready.
Well Lucas hasn't played in any and Ospina has said he is staying :shrug: We blooded plenty of young players in pre-season as it wasQuote:

I like Ospina he will stick around every summer he is linked with a move to Turkey.Quote:

Only if he agrees to do one more season on £300k a week so that we can sell him for £40mill next summer. He drags other people down and berates less talented players for making mistakes. At least people like Xhaka and Cech encourage others when mistakes are made.

Meh. Ox does all these exciting runs that lead to nothing a few times a game.Quote:

He's coming to the end of his career, does he want to go out with a bang at a top club? Or just stay at Arsenal and play with these bunch of nobodies?
If Wenger assembled a proper squad he'd want to stay. But he has too much faith in these losers
Igors Stepanovs : pedant:Quote:
