So looks like Jenks is off to Palace. Little sad to see him go, disappointing that it couldn't work out.

Was definitely a red for Xhaka, but feel the first one in the season was harsh given what I've seen players get away with this season. 

Really liking Perez, would start him over Iwobi at the moment.

Perez is showing why we bought  him for 17 mil. Guy is class . So do we think le proff will buy anyone on dead  line day? Or get another  loan player like kallstrom😀😁

So our so called title challenge has now come down to needing an actual miracle to beat Chelsea with 1 fit and available central midfielder. Absolute shambles.

And unfortunately he is literally our only option atm because our other midfielders are either made of glass (Cazorla and Ramsey), fucking stupid (Xhaka) or just unlucky to be part of a tournament at the wrong time (Elneny).

Not having a recall option on Wilshere is looking mighty stupid right about now.

Hey he wouldn't  of known xhaka would do his head in again.  But like you said not having  a recall  clause on  jack now seems idiotic. Would you thrust  adelaide into the mix?? Maitland Niles?? Play rob holding there??

All depends on the Ox. If he's fit he'll play CM with Coq, if he's not then it'll be Conservative MP Ainsley Maitland - Niles

Coquelin is the worst player to play for us since Andre Santos.


Ospina needs to start.

Yep cech needs to ride the pine  for a while. He is still classy but he has been making a lot of mistakes lately.

Time for Ospina to take Cech's place. Had enough of his shit. Buying him seemed like a great idea at the time, hasn't turned out that way.

Also time for Iwobi to take some time out on the bench, not doing anything to warrant keeping his spot while Lucas Perez has obviously fucked Arsene's Mrs. Only reason he cant get a start. Him and Welbz in for Theo and Iwobi for good please. 

Would be happy to see a Xhaka and Ox midfield too. Elneny can't get back soon enough

Also can't help but feel the best thing for Arsene to do is to make a decision on his future before the summer so we can either look to the future and some actual change or prepare for the same shit next season ahead of time.

Cech to me seems to think he is infallible.  Wenger can grow some balls and bench the guy.  He was a great buy but he is slowly losimg his reflexes . But in saying that do we move him on or do we keep him as a no 2 or do we bring back  the crazy pole ?

Don't think he thinks he's infallible, just not that good anymore which isn't a shock at his age tbf. I'm happy to keep him as #2, Ospina definitely needs to be made #1 sooner rather than later. As for Szczesny, who knows, might still be a place for him here

Also, for as good as he is, I fucking despise Alexis' attitude. If he keeps the sulking and selfishness up we can give his wage increase off to Ozil and send him packing.

Both of them are as bad as eachother. Not sure I'd bother shedding a tear if either or both left tbh. Both should be dropped for every big away game too.

How the fuck did your club not buy a central playmaker in January?

Ox is not a central midfielder, he's a winger.

As for Cech. Fuck me should buy him if Real come in for Lloris. Cech is probably the 3rd best keeper in the league.

Cech hasn't performed to the level we know he's capable of for a while.

Right now I'd rate Ospina over him as a shot stopper.

We fucked ourselves with loaning Wilshere. Playing too well to buy another player in that position when we are stacked.

Xhaka, Ramsey, Cazorla, Wilshere, Elneny, Donkey

All on the books.

2 of them are injured, 1 on loan, 1 suspended and 1 on international duty. Could have signed a Kallstrom for cover.

Loaning Wilshere wasn't the problem really, loaning him without a recall clause was the real problem. Thank god Elneny is back and Xhaka is back in a week.

As for Cech, we know he can be great but it's hard to  get past the fact he has no idea where or what a near post is and couldn't stop a penalty if his life literally depended on it. Like jlm says, right now it's Ospina over Cech and it's not even a hard decision.
