Though the chances of going top are slim, nevertheless, our young guys are getting a lot of game time; and if they can get us through to the Champions League again, watch out. Good luck to the "lads". Bugs Bunny. Terry is right!

I wonder can we fans of the Supporters Club all over the world join hands and force Wenger to make few decisions: 1) Sell Gallas, Ade in the Jan Transfer Window 2) Make Cesc or Clichy the captain. 3) Bring 1 top quality striker, 1 midfeilder(Holding), and 1 top quality CB like metzelder. I think fans in Barca, Real have achieved that. They play a major role in sacking of player, coaches and bringing in players also.. Why cant we gooners do that?? :X Well I’m the Vice-Chairman of Arsenal Mumbai Supporters Club.

I have never been a humongous fan of his but Im not sure it would be a great move for this reason: He is the type of player needed for the EPL- Scores easy goals on headers and tap ins- its the big games he doesnt always show up for... I wouldnt mind selling him but that would make all of our strikers very similar and mean that in the summer we would have to look for a tall striker who is good with his head... I wouldnt hate the move if Wenger pulled it but Im not so sure about it either... DMF is the absolute priority... Give me De Rossi please... Is Veloso that tough minded kind of physical player we need? I havent seen much of him...

He played a team that beat ManU(English and European champs) 2 weeks ago, he expected to see the same comitment and performance from the same team against Villa, so did i, that's why he played 4-5-1 again, but he was let down by the players. Blaming him alone is unfair. For the game against City, i think Le Boss must play 4-5-1 again with Ade as a lone striker. Without Fabregas, Sagna, V.Persie and Walcott, this would be my line up: Def: Toure,Gallas,Djourou,Clichy Mid: Ramsey/Vela, Wilshere,Denilson,Diaby,Nasri Str: Ade @ ramugunner

I also believe Wenger will buy one DM in Janaury cause he has already suffered from his decision. We should be able to finish fourth with a good partner for Cesc but nothing is granted. We saw how Astonvilla are and we will see how big-money Arabians perform. Where is our quest for glories and trophies so we can count Arsenal as a top club. Arsenal should challenge with Manu, Chelski, Barca and Milan not with Astonvilla and Everton. Even players like Sidwell and teams like Hull and Astonvilla loves to play Arsenal at Emirates. No more teams fear to play Arsenal just because our players are a bunch of losers with no passion to win. Players who hate to lose can only play at this level. Almunia, Gallas(now), Song, Diaby are on the top of the list but what we are lacking is the overall mentality in our manager, board and players. With this team, I will take fourth place and a chance for CC/FA cup, that's it. I have heard someone saying now Arsenal can concentarte to win Champions league. Oh Lord! Lets first win against Hull, Fulham, Stoke and Villa before dreaming CL. My major concern with Arsenal now is with Wenger. It's rational to balme him than blaming Denilson, Song, Diaby, Almunia. He is the one who thought we will challenge for everything with this bunch of craps. I am tired of his words: Quality, Potential and Character with his players. Right now only few Arsenal players possess those qualities, maybe from reserves squad only. Agree with you that a partner for Cesc and change in team mentality can bring some change.

There's not that much going wrong with the team that a couple of tweaks here and there can't fix. At the moment it's a weak mentality and lack of a partner for Cesc that's holding us back. The changes you have suggested are a little over the top in my opinion. Let's not keep this depressing mood going all through the week off. We all know that things aren't great at the moment but let's try to keep it positive and talk about what the team can do in the near future. @ ramugunner – Your suggestions are too drastic and they’re not going to happen.

Last summer was the most crucial summer he had in years. Having lost experienced plus quality players in Flamini, Hleb, Lehmann and Gilberto, Wenger did not replace them wisely. Nasri for Hleb I will take it although we still miss Hleb's ball retention ability and creativity. Nasri will be a wonderful players in years to come but he has been a hit & miss till now. With his talent I have enough faith in him if he can stay fit. 1. Almunia has been a joke. I was laughing at some Arsenal fans who compared him with Buffon, Casillas and dared to call him a world-class. How on this world a reject from Spanish second division with zero international appearance can be a No 1 at Arsenal? He is not even Bolton standard, Jussi Jaaskelainen is more superior than him. I also don't think Fabianski will be a great keeper but he can do no worse than Almunia. He hasn't get enough chance to show if he has quality. Please Wenger either buy a quality keeper or stick with the Polish Lad. 2. Sagna & Clichy has been below par and careless after they get a bumper new contract. 3. CB pairing has been a joke all season except Manu game. 4. Denilson, Song, Diaby can play for mid-table teams at their best. Solutions for this Janaury: 1.Buy AKinfeev or Jaaskelainen. 2.Buy strong CB like Campbell, maybe Zapata. 3.Buy world-class CDM who can play rough and tackle with intensity, Toulahan, DeRossi, Veloso, Matuidi whoever. 4.Sell Adebayor to Real madrid for 25 million so we can collect fund to buy three players. This team will bring a drastic change to our quality and mentality. Jaaskelainen Sagna Zapata Toure Clichy Walcott Cesc(c) DeRossi Nasri RVP Vela/Eduardo Subs: Fabianski, Djourou, Gibbs, Ramsey, Denilson, Wilshere, Rosiscky, Bentdner. Song can go back to Charlton, Diaby to Metz, Gallas to PSG, Almunia to Almeria bench. Realmadrid are looking for a striker so badly that they will pay 25 million for Ade in Janaury even he is not worth that much. Jaaskelainen can be acquired for nothing and 10 million for Zapata and 15 million for Veloso / Toulahan.... We can buy Ade repacement in summer.. Very good deal. Don't be surprised though if Wenger buys a 17 years old prodigy from Afganistan and 16 years old Knewye-jhake-bayor from Kenya. I am afraid that Wenger is almost finished at Arsenal.

The kids were out against euro teams in 2 cups and they played well. That was the 1st time I got a good glimpse of wilshere and he is awesome. Vela did well as usuall and did you see the jump he did to chest the ball down for ade to then go and fuck up his shot as usual. Why can't we dock his pay cause he's half the player he was last year so the "I'm henrys replacement" tag hasn't lived up to himself so come jan beg milan to have him for 25 mill of flog him to barca and get yaya and henry back as who would rather see henry back as cappy and lifting the team? Imagine cesc passing wonderfull balls out to the left for henry to take out 2 defenders and slip the ball through vela to chip the advancing keeper. Just wipping the tear from my eye and now realising that isn't going to happen and we will just use half average players like denilson to get us to 3rd spot as liverscum won't last as if we couldn't last year with a great manager then they won't once rafa looses 3 games in a row that the yank owners who know f-all about football unstabalises the club again and threaten to sack him again. @ abbey I loved your 1st post but your 2nd didn’t really sit with me as did you watch any pre season games?
