Before any transfers take place wenger needs to tell sanchez straight either sign a new contract or leave next week. This will allow us to get a proper replacement rather than a last minute bargain buy.
He should then go all out and offer ozil 300k a week to stay. The difference he makes to the team is more than sanchez. Against west brom we were flat and no imagination. With ozil in the team we are dangerous and a different team.
Wilshere deserves another contract aswell he has done more in 6 games than coquelin elneny or xhaka have done all season.
Ps. Maitland niles in centre mid with ozil and sanchez and possibly rMsey would be class.

What happened at beginning of season, we had ozil and no sanchez against liverpool and we never created a thing. Sanchez this season has been involved in more arsenal goals than any player in the team. I also read a stat today he has been involved in more goals than any citeh player and hez supposed to be having a bad season. Ozil will not be here next season, he's off.

I think you would get one answer from sanchez. ok I go thanks.
ozil I think we have offered him enough its more about where the club is going.

Derby i think they both are making sure they do the best for themselves. That will be going.
05 Jan 2018 12:58:34
agreed steve. they saw the captain of the titanic in the film and thought no thanks.
04 Jan 2018 14:55:41
hate it when we have to be replacing players we should be buying worlsclass every window we have the money.
04 Jan 2018 16:15:16
Not too sure in the situation we are in we have the "money". Until all the pending contracts are sorted we can't buy "big". Too much up in the air. Are we keeping players are we selling are we having another year without CL money.

Hi Ed's,
Do you know if we have scouted or have any interest in Jemerson of Monaco?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - No, there was interest from another English side but that has gone.}

Anyone else feel like 3 at the back just doesn't work for us? I feel like it just reduces the responsibilities of each centre back, leading to confusion sometimes (e. g when an attacker is running in the middle of 2 cbs, who picks him up? ) . Also leaves gaps between the wing backs and wide cbs when we lose possession. more importantly, it means we have 1 less player in the midfield.
04 Jan 2018 05:32:51
3,4,5 or 10 at the back doesn't make a slight bit of difference to our defending. Poor coaching and players is the problem.
04 Jan 2018 06:15:50
The problem with 3 CB's is that they are often only marking one forward, leaving 2 spare CB's. I am a huge fan of a fluid 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, which was the chosen formation of Wenger's during his most successful period at the club.
04 Jan 2018 16:17:19
It looked OK last night from where I sat, and i think playing the 3 allows us to bring in the slightly more inexperienced Holding and or Chambers without exposing them quite as much as being one of two CD's. It also certainly helps in bringing the ball out from the back with the 3 CB's spread across the pitch. Also, it allows for the wing backs to push more forward. However, I suspect a true defensive midfielder will do the same job but with perhaps a bit more flexibility by playing just behind Wilshire/ Ramsey and Xhaka and slipping back into defense when needed. I know there are few fans of N'Zonzi on here but watching a lot of Seville on TV over the last couple of years that is exactly what he does (or did) for them, where he either plays just behind midfield or slips back to become the 3rd CD when needed, and therefore he, or a similar type player, would easily allow us to slip back into a more 4-3-3 formation IMO.
