Have people here in this sub been fans for less than a year or two??

This is Arsenal and AW, it has been like this every season.

No surprise.

Yeah, like the other times we have seen injuries and a thin squad ruin our title chances. We have a paper thin squad currently and a 30 year old who can't make the first team at his club isn't helping much.

[–]suxer 0 points1 point

Yes, exactly like it.

RvP carried us before he left.

Before that, when he was injured, Adebayor was our sole reliable attacker, freakin Ade. (For a while bendtner stepped up, but that didnt last; and you know you couldnt count on Chamahk).

There was a point when Almunia was our saving grace; crazy clown hands Almunia! Fab couldnt even hold his own balls without fumbling them!

I'm not sure what you are arguing.... You are basically saying that we have had to rely on one player each season, carrying the entire team. Which, to me, sounds like we need another striker and not a 30 something midfielder who barely plays.

Im saying its been like this every year, nothing to be surprised about.

The team has been showing they can pull it off, its time too suck it up this half of the season and keep form. They have shown that they are up for it; Tomas should back this week and Jack the next; Kallstrom well provide cover for both Flam and Aaron.

Yaya is also supposed to come back, so, though he has a lot to prove (and improve) The team now will have Giroud, Bendtner and Yaya.

The team has been showing they can pull it off

By getting completely outplayed by Soton?

Yaya is also supposed to come back

I get it, people in this sub want the young players to succeed but you are suggesting that a 31 year old nobody and a young, unproven striker are going to propel us to the title?

[–]suxer 0 points1 point

No, im suggesting the team (with Aaron, Jack and Tomas) will propel us to the title.

Yaya is a squad player, an exciting prospect, a backup for our backup.

And I believe that Southhampton was a one off.

AW will have to manage the squad and prioritize our participation in the different competitions we are in. We have a rough run of games, but I think we will come out strong, like we did in december.

And Kallstrom is a stop gap and Im fine with that, in the past we signed Silvestre and Santos and Henry as stop gaps; this is not new.

Kallstrom will provide experience and a able body on the field; id rather AW play kallstrom than Eisfeld or any reserve players.

OP has a small PP

You will get downvoted but I agree with you. This is the closest we have been in a long time and this is a major transition year for pretty much every top club, other than us. If we fail to capitalize while City and Chelsea are at their most vulnerable, we will regret it. Also, who knows what's up United's sleeves for the summer.. we could see them back challenging for the title next year.

I agree. But there still a few hours to go. Stay positive.

Remember how long it took to get the Arshavin deal finalised, after deadline day?

[–]JosephAlwaysStalin 1 point2 points

We have a great chance of winning the title this year. I pray to God we do. I just do not understand the signing of Kallstrom. What does he bring to our squad?

[–]ScaredycatMatt 1 point2 points

An experienced back up? Not that hard to figure out.

[–]Camdento 0 points1 point

The same thing Viviano does: solid backup.

[–]ZOMGLAZERCATMes Que Un (Feeder) Club 0 points1 point

since you seem to know what's best for the club better than wenger, who is the world beater that is available right now, in january, for a reasonable fee?

[–]LLeoj -1 points0 points

We're one point off the title with the squad we have. People complain when we don't buy, people complain when we buy, people complain when we draw tricky away fixtures.

If we still win all of our EPL matches we win the title

That's what's important. When that's no longer the case you can say we "threw the title chance away" or something.

    Walcott was out for a pretty extended period of time. Ramsey was playing really well, yes, but was starting to dip in form too. We aren't just a 1 or 2 man team.

    Jesus shut the fuck up. It isn't the apocalypse. In Wenger we trust.

    [–]SocratesTombur[S] -1 points0 points

    Well if that is the game you want to play, nothing football related is ever the apocalypse. Then why even care if Arsenal win or lose? The apocalyptic point is just a way to neutralize any and every criticism of anything related to Arsenal.

    [–]ScaredycatMatt -2 points-1 points

    Oh piss off with this shit.

    OOhhhh Gary Neville said it? Well if God himself has spoken then we may as well give up now.

    What a loser you are.

    [–]Cha_Doy -1 points0 points

    Who would you suggest we add that puts us in a good place? I really want Draxler, but I don't believe he'd make a huge difference this year. Conversely, if we brought in Klose and he could adjust quickly, I think that would help us tremendously to have two viable options at striker. Also Kallstrom is a nice signing because of the Ramsey injury that puts us down to Flamini and Arteta at our only true defensive midfielders. And who's to say one of them don't get injured too which what screw us hard. However I do agree with you that Kallstrom alone won't boost us to the top against the likes of Chelsea and Man City.

    I agree we need to sign someone to compete with Chelsea and Man City after the injuries we've endured. However, I have no idea who we could bring in.
