it's all well and good letting players like Alexis and Ox and letting them see out their contracts but you have to question the motivations of players who have made it clear that they do not want to be at the club.

The Ox better be motivated or else he will not be going to the world cup! If he doesn't perform Bellerin is a more than decent FB and Iwobi is just as good up top.
I don't worry about Sanchez form as he's actually world class! At least we had him for 4 years:) He's done more than the Ox has and will ever do. I don't mind players wanting to leave or demanding high wages as long as they do the business on the pitch to a high consistent standard anybody who doesn't is easily replaceable.

What does everyone see in Iwobi? Sorry but the lad has 1 good 2 okish games and 7 virtually invisible games every 10 he plays, there is simply no comparison between Iwobi and Rashford or Ali so he shouldn't be good enough for our first team.
Xhaka and Iwobi what is it about them?

Xhaka and Iwobi are squad players until they prove otherwise. I don't think either is better than Ox nore is he much better than them. The difference with Iwobi is he is at the beginning of his development yet the Ox is in the middle of his. If he doesn't sign a new contract I'd rather Arsenal played Iwobi to further his development quicker as we will need him on form to prepare for Sanchez and oxs inevitable departure. The Ox is playing a dangerous game leading up to the world cup as Arsenal have plenty of players who can do a similar job.

I see what your saying but where would Iwobi get game time but with Arsenal? Burnley Brighton? Certainly not Chelsea Utd City Spurs Liverpool or Everton there for sure, same question about Xhaka? Yet many are happy to build a team around him and incorporate Iwobi into it.
Sorry but until we expect the same from all our players as the teams who win and compete for titles we will always be on the outside looking in.

Gunner I think the "club" have managed over the years to lower some people expectation. The fourth place trophy attitude.

Without meaning to be sure to anyone Steve for a very big club we have very low satisfaction levels and that includes many of the fans.
No one at Liverpool City Chelsea Utd will all be thinking of last 16 in the Champions league as success and along with Spurs none of their fans will see 4th and 10+ points behind the champions as premier league success, but an awful lot of Arsenal fans will see regaining 4th and 15 points behind the winners as a very good season as top of course will Arsene and the board.
We have forgotten what it takes to be considered a big club by anyone but ourselves.

I won't knock iwobi but he has a lot of improving to do and we can't just say let's rely on him to replace a player. We won't ever win the league with hope.
