Its incredible how many long term injuries we get. i'm amazed there hasn't been some sort of inquest into it.

11 May 2016 20:30:03
Allegedly the inquest team have been off sick for the past 5 years.

11 May 2016 21:22:59
Yep, Diaby is head of the injury inquest team.

Don't forget mates, our players are glassy there susceptible to breakage.

11 May 2016 22:25:19
Willy,

Take the gl off glassy and you are correct mate.

Its NO laughing matter, the injuries are without a doubt out failings, its those that have cost us.

Dags funny that! I bet they might want to put a bullet in a head. Let them hear it from you sir lol. They aren't just assy, they're lazy too. That didn't come from me tho'

Proposal, create some sort of freakish frankenstein player using all of our injured players (we might even get two! )

Welbeck
Rosicky
Wilshere
Gibbs
Walcott
Oxlaide
Diaby (might as well bring him back)

I reckon we could get one deadly franken-striker and on franken-fielder out of that!

Have to feel extremely sorry for Danny, he has come back after a long lay off looking very sharp and now another long term knee injury. If it is true that Wenger tried to let him 'run it off' in the match then that is actually shocking.

11 May 2016 18:26:42
I feel for the boy aswell! But we don't know what happened and either could wenger until a scan and we do pay the medical staff who would have been advising mate we can't level everything at mr wenger.

11 May 2016 19:46:40
We could always play pretend and say it was Wengers fault. 😉.

Only teasing myself here but imagine the damage a team could do with a front three of

Sanchez Lacazette Griezmann

And a midfield of

Xakha Carvalho or Kondogbia and Ozil

Would bump off Walcott, Ramsay, gibbs, jenko, coqulein if the money was good (big fan of his but as a means of financing my silly fantasy) and possible ox or wilshere if the money was right for either.

Would need a left back then as well.

Just supposing by some miracle we do sign Granit Xhaka do people think that will make our midfield hard enough or do you think we should still look to sign Musal Bosun and Ardas Nales?

11 May 2016 13:24:59
I don't really watch much Bundesliga, so I'm most likely wrong here, but Xhaka isn't a 'defensive' midfielder is he?

Don't get me wrong, he sounds a cracking signing, he's tall, strong, distributes the ball well, plus he's a bit of a hothead, which I feel we lack (not that I'm encouraging aggressive behaviour here) but to me, it just sounds like we're signing another Elneny/ Ramsey style player.

If we were to get him, we'd have Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere, Xhaka, Elneny and Elneny there.
6 players vying for two spots, so I wouldn't be shocked to see one of them leave.

I think we seriously missed a beat not signing kondogbia. He's a beast at break up play. Doesn't have the passing range as someone like Carvalho but a much more dominate enforcer. Coq has down well since he's come in but we seriously missed a beat that time.

11 May 2016 16:58:05
Never seen him play D_ but he is apparently a more defensive minded mid. Can't see with us losing 3 midfielders in the summer that one won't come in.

I don't think he will cover all those players from our youth side, but then I was certain he'd buy a quality striker last summer but he didn't. 🙄.

11 May 2016 18:28:44
I know he playsand works hard but haven't seen enough of him to say what his possition is.
