The Arsenal Thread XXII

Feel like this is a game where Mert would be crucified at the back, seeing as how pacey Liverpool are.

If think Ramsey has to start, front 4 if Ozil Santi Alexis and Giroud

Yeah we need to dominate possession in this game. Set up 4-1-4-1 with Giroud up front. Ozil Santi Alexis and Walcott (Ox/Welbeck unavailable for the game) and Coquelin behind them. Cazorla and Sanchez can drop deep when needed

Why no Ramsey? Don't tell me he's injured again

I seriously want Wilshere to start against Liverpool (or at least make a sub on)if he's fit, he's such an immense player.

Thought I heard it happened during his international game. Really hope it isn't true then.

Still a week away from what Wenger said today. Same for Arteta, Debuchy and Diaby (well, a week for Diaby until he gets another injury)

I heard he limped off and took a knock but haven't heard anything since which is weird tbh

Why are we going to offer Diaby another contract it doesn't make sense. Guy has more injuries than an A&E department. Sell him off even if he is a talented player when not injury ****'d

What do you make of the Paulo Dybala rumours? He's a sick forward.

Jokes aside, it's so upsetting to see how Diaby's career is unfolding. We've just become accustomed to not having him but when he was fit he was such an important player for us. Scores crucial goals, still remember the CL semi final opener at Anfield a couple of years ago. I often forget that he even plays for us anymore but during times like these I hope for nothing more than him not picking up another injury when he returns. At 28, he still has a good 4ish years in him to be crucial for us if he remains injury free. His role doesn't really need so much pace and tbh that's the biggest thing age takes away from you.

If, and it's a huge huge if, he can have a longer run of games without being injured again (probably won't happen) then it'll be like a new signing for us. I don't see him doing a RVP if he has a really good season either to be honest.

I really hope he doesn't get injured again :frown:

If we were in for Sterling (which I doubt) I see him more as a long term replacement for Cazorla in all honesty, they're style of play is much more similar than that of Walcott's, Ox, Campbell etc.

I agree he a cazorla with pace but his tackling is not as good as cazorla

Wenger has said Arsenal are not at all interested in Dybala

Really like the look of him. I think we should be all over him, he was a deadly left foot and is a completely different striker to Giroud - so it would be good to have two clinical strikers (here's hoping Giroud keeps it up). :rolleyes:

A bit of a triple post from me now though, I've posted the same things about this chap like three times now :lol:

Inevitable I guess. Should have picked out a young wonderkid from Rubin Kazan who he'd probably have more interest in.

I agree the young lad has indefatigably proved his worth at Palermo, given I've only seen two games of Palermo this season he looks very skillful and with a deadly left foot like you said. 12 Goals and 7 Assists isn't bad at Palermo, imagine at Arsenal guy would be on fire :devil3:

Yeah because players who come from Serie A always do really well in the Premier League.

What team would take him? It is the equivalent of taking on an 8 month pregnant woman for a 3 month temp job; you know that they're not going to do anything for you. He isn't even that quality, I don't know how anyone could perform at anywhere near the level they did 8 years ago when they've hardly played for than 5 games in a row in that spell. It's a horrid situation to be in.

I can't decide on Dybala, I haven't watched him play properly and you can't tell much from 5 minute scout videos on yt tbh. If it was between him and Pedro I'd probably choose Pedro even if he is a lot older, because we need to start buying finished articles rather than work in progress players. Pedro can also play on both wings and is pretty much the most ambidextrous two footed player around, whereas from what I've heard Dybala has no right foot at all

Tbh since Zola, can't really think of a top striker who's done really well in the prem from an italian club?

The stats are that Balotelli is the only italian player to have a premier league title. Coutinho I think is the last guy who's really done well in the prem and tbh his development was mainly at Espanyol.
