Arsenal to sell Alexis Sanchez after PSG’s £70m transfer bid?

Mark my words, Wenger will never right this ship..and frankly we might deserve this fate because we’ve let it go on so long…Gazidis is the equivalent of a prison bitch, Kroenke is the destroyer of all sports teams he touches and their are way too many complacent fans who believe we are the only club in the world that can’t find a suitable replacement(try explaining to fans of clubs like Bayern, Barcelona and Real, who have had more manager changes in the last 4 year than we’ve experienced in 35 seasons)

Time for a tough critiquing of our current squad:

Goalkeepers—Cech is a solid keeper but can no longer make those big time saves that require stretching from post to post…Ospina plays too small and often does the same things we used to crucify Szczy for but nowhere near as talented…as for Martinez, it’s too early to tell, but the fact that we seem to be looking elsewhere for Cech’s replacement suggests that he’s backup material

Defenders—Mertz is way too slow, not dominant in the air(I’ve never seen a guy so tall have such a pathetic vertical in my entire life), horrible passer and simply a waste of bench space…much rather have someone with some future potential taking that spot

Kos has some moments of greatness but this past season he was totally underwhelming…not enough leadership provided, too many dumb mistakes in big games, emerging injury concerns and provides next to nothing offensively(he should watch some Sergio Ramos video because that was what I was hoping from him a few years back)…keep in mind, he is by far our best defender, which is problematic considering my previous comments

Gibbs is too inconsistent, too injury prone, not a good enough crosser of the ball considering his pace and too weak defensively—if he couldn’t unseat Monreal in 3 years, he should have been gone long ago

Gabriel—this guy is a bag of toys…you never know what you’re going to get, but it’s rarely good…it’s too bad because I think his heart is in the right place but he’s clearly in way over his head…he should never have been brought in…another panic buy that served absolutely no real purpose…how is our farm system so bad that we didn’t have a single player who could have filled this role

Mustafi—love his energy and he clearly has some potential but he needs to be playing beside a stay-at-home CB…only CB we’ve had in years, since Vermaellen, who likes going forward and involving himself offensively…by far the best passing CB we have, just needs to make some better choices on the pitch

Bellerin—obviously great pace, but regressed this past season as a crosser, dribbler and on the defensive end…likened him to a faster Alves type who didn’t always run to the end-line and would cut back into the middle, beat defenders and take some shots from outside the box(we desperately need better shooters from outside the box on this squad)…wouldn’t give up on him because he has a lot of potential but if Barcelona came calling and offered anything over $45 million and we are using a 3-back going forward he would be gone so fast it would make his head spin

DeBouchy—enough said…I feel for this player because he was one of the only Wenger players ever that he gave up on because of injury so there must be something we don’t know about this situation…strangely enough his skill-set is much better suited for our current formation than Bellerin

Jenkinson—love this guys moxie but not good enough if we really care about doing great things, which I doubt anyways…stop stringing him along and let him go elsewhere to try and fulfill his dreams

Chambers—seriously $16 million considering our frugal ways…like some of the things he has to offer but always felt he might be better suited as a DM than a CB but not sure if can pass well enough to do the job at the highest level…should be loaned out to someone who sees him as a starter unless someone offers even a dollar more than we paid for him, then sell without any regrets

Midfielders

Ramsey—overpaid, overused, injury prone, not clinical enough as a passer or finisher and he’s played out of position way too much to the detriment of our supposed offensive and defensive schemes…obviously I think he has some skills and I’m pleased he didn’t let his horrible injury years ago end his career but he holds on to the ball too much, gives away the ball too often and too cheaply, doesn’t play good enough defensively considering the previous concern and often finds himself to far up the pitch way too often for a guy who doesn’t score or assist near enough…better suited for Wales where the team is set up to accommodate his and Bales skills

Cazorla–too bad he was lost too soon…not blinded enough to think he would solve all of our ills but he was and is the only deep-lying player on this team that can pass more than 12 yards on a consistent basis…like Rosicky, gone way too soon but can’t dwell on it too long or we end up in the crazy world of Wenger’s man love for the one and only Diaby…don’t resign because even if he were to come back he’s been out to long and he just gives Wenger an excuse to not replace with talent

Xhaka—paid $3 million more for him than Kante was sold for…another of the many ridiculous Wenger sanctioned moves…like some of his skills, especially his long-ball potential but he’s looked a shadow of his Swiss National team self and that really worries me…too slow and can’t seem to master the timing needed to tackle in the open field…this might have something to do with the lack of leadership and coaching on this team, made more obvious by the fact that when he plays with Coquelin he plays in a deeper role(WTF???)

Elneny—love his energy, his shot(albeit inconsistent), his attitude and his desire to fight for a position but I’m not sure he will ever be top class and he certainly won’t play enough under this manager to figure that out

Ox—until this year I would have said he was another Wenger failed project…that being said, he still only showed us some inklings of the things we thought he would start bringing a couple of years ago…liked his role as a wing-back in the 3-back system but his moping around and general demeanor about not being sure if he liked this new role was a little off-putting considering how long we have waited for him to show up…I wouldn’t hesitate to sell if the right number was offered but probably not to a top 8 team

Wiltshire—he will never play a dominant role on any future Arsenal team that cares about finishing in the top 4…too injury prone and fragile on the pitch for someone who must stick his foot in and dribble past defenders to be successful

Forwards/Strikers

Walcott—like Wiltshire, too many injuries to do his job effectively or consistently…straight line player who can score goals but it’s time to cut the cord, get something in return and say a few kind words as we shut the door on his past

Welbeck—like his energy, industry and determination on the pitch but he’s just not skilled enough to be a starter on a team with higher aspirations, which is why his presence on our squad really bothers me…his horrible first touch and inability to hit the target on a regular basis makes me think he’s not even good enough to be a back-up…god forbid we need to rely on him to score as a starter

Giroud—too slow, too inconsistent, no good enough to link-up play and he’s symptomatic of when the Wenger plan truly fell off the rails…he obviously has some great skills but they would make far more sense on a team that was fighting for much lesser objectives because we have never used a formation that works to his strengths(2 up top like France) and as such he should be sold to the highest bidder regardless of who it is

Ozil—obviously this player has some superior skills but his posturing is hard to swallow when things aren’t going well…love his link up play with Sanchez, so just imagine if Wenger gave a shit about the Striker or right forward positions…I feel a bit for him because he was liekwise given promises about our direction and they never materialized; that being said he needs to grow up sometimes and find a way to handle the pressure a little better…I wouldn’t get carried away about locking him into a much higher wage for any length of time if we aren’t planning to properly revamp the current club

Perez—intrigued by his potential, which is surprising because we he first came I thought he was the usual Wenger panic buy and I was really upset considering how long we’ve waited for some real striker help…now that I’ve seen him a couple of times I can’t figure out why we haven’t seen him more, but it might be too late for that now…Wenger doesn’t like when players speak outside the locker room and he’s mouth might be his ultimate downfall

Sanchez—by far the most threatening player on our team, especially considering that Ozil has never been a goal scoring machine throughout his career…wished he and the team had dealt with the whole situation in a much better fashion because even if he end up staying his time here will always be tainted by the memories of this year…Wenger has always hated confrontation but this isn’t like the crazy years of Bendner or even the back-and-forth that he would have experienced with leaders like Viera or Keown, this was a battle between a guy with a lust for winning versus a manager who had lied about being the same

This is the Arsenal created by Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke…if you think the people who created this mess desire our respect and support, keep your blinders on and enjoy the ride down, but if you think this just isn’t good enough continue to speak your mind until real change is forthcoming…Cheers
