I know this is unrelated to the above post but why don't we bid for beharino i think he's wasted talent at wba and with the right guidence could turn out to be a steal for 15 - 20 mill what u guys think.

I don't like the way he has conducted himself! Also not good enough for a team with aspirations of the title.

Jenkison is perfect back up to Bellerin. Bellerin has been fairly injury free since breaking into the first team so Jenkinson won't be getting much game time anyway. He's a solid sub, Debuchy has, in my opinion, been wasted on the bench (not to say I wouldn't rather have Bellerin) .

Berahino is trouble. I don't think he's worth the money, time or effort. Stroppy players aren't great for the squads moral.

Half the Arsenal squad aren't worthy of a team with title aspirations so what's your point? I'm die hard Arsenal and I know that. I don't particularly like how he's conducted himself, or maybe how he's been advised but he'd be the closest thing to Ian Wright we have had. Not that there's the slightest chance Wengers going to part with anymore money this month. By the way dint forget we've had plenty of players hold out and pressurise us into unfair unworthy contracts or exits, I mean how is Walcott earning wages the size of top players in Europe for what he's achieved, has the guy played 3 7/ 10 games in a row. I don't think so!

{Ed025's Note - thats a bit harsh shambo...even raver and rayray are more complimentary than you mate..

Maybe harsh ed, but just trying to add some perspective into the viewpoint that Berahino is any worse than any other players of his generation right now. Regarding Theo, he just doesn't do enough. He just doesn't. There's too many so-so performances and no shows and next thing you know he's up for contract talks and his agent feeds word out that massive rivals are in for him. I don't think there can be argument we overpay before our players have proven themselves. We should be 7 pts clear, this league is going to be the worst for a long time and any amount of real belief and ambition from either a manager or collective group of players would win it pulling up. There isn't a team in it fitting that description and certainly not us on the last 6 away performances.

{Ed025's Note - come on shambo, arsenal are top for a reason mate they are the best at the moment, i think theo could do a lot more as well, but its up to arsene to play him more..

Ed, not to convolute the conversation as I'm sure there's plenty of fellow fans who'd rather be reading anything other than this, your good self included! . I am a lifelong arsenal fan, I'm 32 so up to now 25 yrs following them, obsessively because you can't like a club like Arsenal, you have to LOVE them, particularly the last decade, it was a completely instant and unbiased attraction. My father is a lpool fan, my mates the usual mix of the generic Utd and Lpool sheep who followed the trophies and support them because they were bought a mug or pencil case for Christmas. I don't think we're a special breed of fan, or that I'm a special type of fan amid my fellow boomers as its very difficult to get to games as I live in Ireland, but to be fair and objective, not to mention appreciative of good football and a solid team and coaching performance, that there is little room for doubt that Leicester have been the best team in that league up to this point. We rely too heavily on Alexis and Ozil and we are too prone to predictability both on the field and tactically. When I see a player hauled off after 45mins or and hour for a performance not worthy of the Arsenal jersey, well then I'll know there something serious happening at my club again. Right now though it's groundhog day with the best football minded and idealist manager well ever see, sometimes he's got unbelievable resolve, insight and humility, other times he's the most stubborn, arrogant manager around who really does feed us untruths here and there and does not seem to recognise a man in his job or his players job earning the sums they are earning should have to be held accountable to performance, if not to the themselves, then the board, if not them then us fans. I just dint see that. We're not just here for revenue purposes. I'm going to stop writing now, I'd love to see us win this league, but I think the doubt lies more in these players and the managerlacks the conviction, especially when he makes statements post Liverpool 'kick-in-the-balls' draw that 'what's important is not the manner of the draw but that Europe saw a fantastic game'. Really Arsene, I mean really really?

{Ed025's Note - i get that love your club ethic shambo, as an evertonian for over 50 years i have seen the ups and downs myself mate, but the fact is you have been spoilt as gooners, 20 odd years qualifying for the CL plus cups and the invincibles.. not much to moan about there...but you gave it your best shot.. :)

No offense to Shambo, but he's talking absolute garbage.

The point is then let's not add to the lack of quality with more dross.

I understand your frustrations with Walcott - I think every Arsenal fan wishes that he had truly fulfilled the potential he showed; the same is true of Ox and Gibbs at the moment. I hope we aren't saying the same about Bellerin. Though your point about being reliant on Ozil and Sanchez, then to go on and compliment Leicester - are they not reliant on Vardy and Mahrez? Also, I would say we have been able to rely more on Giroud than Sanchez this year, I also think Cech has performed exceptionally as had Coquelin until his injury. I think you need to accept that Wenger has been building something - it may have taken time and patience from everyone involved, and yes we could add another player or 2, but we are in with a real chance this year, so why not get behind the boys and stop wishing for players such as Berahino and berating the ones we do have.
