The Arsenal Thread XX

Nah.

Nah.

Didn't flamani do a decent stint as left back like 5 seasons ago for arsenal?

But obviously AR is the much much bette player now

JW actually is much more naturally gifted. Ramey is the perfect example of a player becoming class by improving the mental side of his game, making the right runs, spacial awareness etc whereas JW is the opposite, but he has unbelievable technique and dribbling at his best.Ramsey would never have scored that goal vs Norwich for instance.

05/06 CL run, Flamini basically played everywhere sooner or later. He was immense at both LB and RB that year though yeah

Yes, and that is why Ramsey is better, because he is a lot more mentally strong. It's all about what happens on the pitch, on the day. Ramsey has proven himself, Jack has not. You can have all the talent in the world but if you are not performing then it becomes kind of redundant.

Ramsey is going right to the top, hopefully JW will follow. He's still young though, he has years to get it right.

Yep. true. He is going right to Real Madrid for £45 million.

Agree 100%, just pointing out how talented JW is.

Yeah, Jack just needs to get rid of that petulant side of his game and not lose his head. On the evidence of yesterday (one game I know) he seems to have turned a corner in just getting on with the game. For a guy as young as him to show quite consistent good performances in the C.L. is really reassuring though.

In the end, I think our academy/youth finds will be how we (hopefully) have the world class squad depth to compete with the likes of Abu Dhabi FC and Chelski. Can't do it any other way, we lack the blank cheque to pay £30 odd million for squad players.
Looking good though, if the likes of Bellerin, Gnabry, Crowley and Zelalem step up then we will have quite some team. There have been really promising sounds coming from Hale End too which can only mean good things.

Wenger did heavily imply that he will not buy "good" players in the middle of their careers though. The players he would buy (according to a conference I can't remember the name of) are what he deems the world class category players , then the next category are the young players who have a lot of promise (e.g. Chambers). Obviously he may see a player like Kallstrom or Flamini which is a bargain stopgap for the team, but mainly he just buys based on two categories : world class or young and could be world class.

You know what, if that happens it happens. Just hope we can win a few things before then, and then wish Aaron all the best in Spain. Think we'll get another 3 years out of him yet.



JW's best performances have come in the CL in recent years tbf. Bayern 2013 he was immense as well but few noticed and last season he impressed as well.

Bellerin looks a real prospect, can see him being our RB with Chambers at CB down the line. Gnabry will make it too but Zelalem is unlikely when you think about the odds.

Looking good though, if the likes of Bellerin, Gnabry, Crowley and Zelalem step up then we will have quite some team.

And still no DMF

will actually die if in 5 years we still have a world classs squad being held back by having no DMF.

Liverpool win the award for most undeserved win of the Premier League, and I say that as a person who watched all 90 minutes of Arsenal yesterday.

meh, as i'm sure many arsenal fans were saying yesterday "a win is a win".
i've been watching man united score last minute winners in the premier league long enough to know that football isn't fair.

in terms of performance we were both poor, but the difference is that southampton played a pretty good game in terms of attacking but palace didn't.

as long as one of united or liverpool drop points, i'd say it's a good weekend for arsenal fans (as long as you win too).
say what you want but (with respect) i think you're going for 3rd/4th place again this season - all you gotta do is stay ahead of either united or liverpool.

Luke, you don't half pull some **** facade with the "nice guy Luke" image. Just another deceptive scouser aren't you?
