He is proving to be pretty useless with player development, particularly with british players. I think Arsene assumes a level of hunger and professionalism that more than a few of these players maybe don't possess. He isn't great at tackling it.
Ox could be a good player but he has been of very limited use to us and rarely contributes much over a season. I wouldn't miss him.
He's confusing, isn't he? I want to berate him but then I look at his stats and feel I can't. I also think that he cares unlike Mesut who couldn't give two ****s about Arsenal. Although I do think it's strange that Arsene said he took a long time (2 weeks) to get over the Bayern defeat. What a softie.
Thing is what do I know? I just base my opinion on what I see. Sometimes I see players who I think look really good but Wenger keeps back. I always thought Podolski seemed to score goals. Maybe this was just my impression.
Currently I feel Lucas Perez is not getting a good deal (I know he is injured) He looks class to me. But i feel he wouldn't start at all even if he was fit.
Jenkinson is still with us and played for the under-23's on Monday when Yaya Sanogo scored a memorable hat-trick in fifteen minutes.
Theo Walcott is a mere 20 goals away from breaking into our Top Ten goalscorers of all time.
