Sod it, I'll bite aha.

I love coming on this page to read every day, I find Arsenal fans tend to be quite level headed and realistic, of course we all have our moments of getting ahead of ourselves but in general I find the Arsenal lot to be alright.

I think Chris does a great job of winding you all up on here and always gets somebody to bite, it's brilliant to see and it's also quite refreshing to see banter that isn't malicious and is simply light hearted.

Now onto why I'm posting, I saw the post below about a few of our players getting into the top sides and I genuinely thing that out of this current United side every EPL team would take; De Gea, Shaw (for his potential), Herrera, Carrick, Di Maria, Depay and Rooney.

Okay, so it isn't quite as many as it could be, the rest of the squad is adequate to average but all in all I think we're okay.

if we add Hummels, Ottamendi, Schweinsteiger and Firmino then I think we've got a really good opportunity on paper to be challenging and I think all of those would stand a chance of being in almost every premier league first 11.

What I love about the Arsenal team at the moment is a lot of that potential that you invested in a few years ago is started to come through, Walcott, Chamberlain, Ramsey, Wilshere (to an extent), plus you've invested well in world class talent with Cazorla, Sanchez and Ozil.

Arsenal are shaping up nicely and they'll be in the mix for sure, I think what could cost you is your lack of out and out winning experience in the squad, a cup isn't a league and when you look at Champions League and League winning experience in your squad you only have; Giroud, Ozil, Welbeck and Sanchez (there may be a couple more) but effectively you're relying on these guys to help the younger lads and I'm not sure if there's enough experience there at the moment to help you overcome a strong Chelsea side, a decent City side and a rebuilding Manchester United side (that doesn't mean I think you'll finish 4th, it means that there is strong competition as always.

next year will be interesting, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss some of the United players, just as I'm not sitting here dismissing your players. Football has a habit of biting you in the bum.

One thing I will say though is that I think as great a manager as Arsene Wenger is, I don't think you'll win the league with him again, it'll be nice to see but I'm not sure he's up to it personally, he's more than capable of proving me wrong though.

My opinion is that Arsenal needs to be freshened up a little, and maybe a new manager with new ideas is what will change the 3rd/4th recent form into title success.

Just my two cents.

Hiya Jose Moonrinho,

who's Shaw?

A more level headed responce there mate but I would say de gea and Rooney I would typically say di Maria but he struggled to get in your team back end, all that been said we know di Maria can be great and it's only one season so time will tell. If arsenal don't buy anyone we won't win the league every gooner knows that. But petr cech another defender that can play anywhere along the back coupled with someone like kondogbia and a CF who can get behind and we will be in with a shout. We have the money we could realistically buy and compete with top teams to strengthen in these areas. So we now understand why in the past wenger has been stand off ish in the transfer market. We have been assured this has now changed so we will see this summer if or if not its wenger been a wanger and we have been sold a bum philosophy or not.

As for United strong club as always but not a strong team/squad atm. But you can and will buy but there's a lot of choice players to be signed and a lot of gelling and moulding to be done. If fergie was still there and had the team you have I would always criticise Utd with caution but he's not there so I would suggest you are 2/3 years off if you get everything right.

I'm not dreaming but hopeful that if we address our areas we will be adding to a squad that is already well accustomed and in need of fine tuning and that the league is within our grasp.

As regards to champions league that's pot luck until barca get dislodged they are by far the best team in Europe

Not taken as a bite at all mate, some nice banter and good to see some knowledgable United fans over here rather that putting up with Chris all the time. Lol.

Many would agree that Wenger won't win us anything, I as you'd expect believe the opposite.

He hasn't lost the ability just lost the right tools to do the job. Like most things it's a time will tell scenario, much like how long Van Gaal will last.

The four players you mention would certainly be an improvement but you now have Champions League or worse case Europa league and will need a quality squad to cope as there will be no free ride this year.

Thus who becomes your squad players, who are the game changers from the bench, this is where you are by far the weakest.

Did United's winning mentality come from a league or a cup win under Fergie. It's a factor but all teams have to take the step.

Liverpool choking it last season showed how difficult it is. We nearly choked the previous FA Cup but you learn, we are learning.

Great banter TPG 😫

He's the left back that when fit will replace Gibbs on the England team perfect.

6.) 18 Jun 2015 17:54:06
Good post jm I agree mostly.

7.) 18 Jun 2015 19:08:50
Who would I take from United? DDG obviously, Depay and Januzai for the future and maybe Herrera (because we're arsenal, and we can never have too many midfielders). Not that your team is bad when assembled together, but you haven't got much in the way of individuals. Rooney is getting passed it, would have nowhere to play in our team and would be way too expensive. As for ADM, I wouldn't have even taken him last summer, never rated the guy that highly.

As for next season, I think everything depends on the the transfers the top 4 make. We need a Cech and a Benzema and we'll be real title contenders.

Really Steve, I'd honestly never have guessed. Lol. :-)

When I say mostly, man u can buy all the players they like, I don't think the manager
Is good enough to win the league. He dosnt convince me at all. I think they will buy players, they need to but I don't see the whole package there.

10.) 18 Jun 2015 21:29:10
Lemon tree, fair post that and agree with a lot of it. Shock horror! Shaw for the future too and Carrick if he wasn't getting on. Id also say Rooney would be a dead cert given your lack of quality no. 9's.

I guess the problem for Arsenal is the fact that with such a good squad (in your eyes) and with ours being so poor, you should have opened up a much bigger gap over us this season. Why was that not the case?

Will be interesting to see if the gap widens or not next season.

Evening, Stoner 👍

I Gunner,

I pretty much agree with everything you've said there mate, except I would imagine Spyder to less of a gamble than Carvalho, simply because he's stood out against the top 4 sides and he knows the league well.

As you say though, we'll only tell once theses players get going.

I actually slightly disagree with Cech too, while I agree he will be incredible for you, much like BS, age (and a lack of football for a year) will likely see a slight decline but nothing which will stop him from being a success.

Personally I think so far, having spent £75M, United have completed the best business, Depay, MS and BS are 3 very good signings in my opinion.

Crazy, crazy post.

I like Arsenal but that did make me laugh, I don't know how people can say the biggest financial power in world football is on the decline. We'll be absolutely fine.

2 years without winning the league, possibly 3, but I'm fine with that because whether we come back with Galacticos or a team unit we will be Premier League Champions again.
