Ox has got talent, he's just at he wrong place to fulfill it, I have no doubts that if Poch got hold of him he'd turn him into a very good player.

I think so too. If a proper manager would have gotten the chance to develop him he would have been a beast by now. Still a chance for him to be a proper player though.

I like Ox and would be keen. Not sure we can afford his wage demands though which is a mental thing to say!

Finding it a bit funny how some Arsenal fans are acting like this Europa draw is beneath them. They've been a waste of a UCL space for years


And it's hard to disagree. You see how so many reacted online to Spurs' CL draw - 'haha, already out...' etc - when English teams in general have been piss poor compared to Spain, Italy or Germany. Most seem to think of it as 'failure' instead of enjoying the big games or the away days as fans. Arsenal, like in the PL, have been in it for the money for years. Remain reasonably competitive but without the intent or ability to win it - thus finishing 3rd/4th or getting utterly destroyed the first time they meet a good team. The club doesn't show much ambition to improve or go further. They have repeated the same pattern for several seasons now - hence the voices wanting Wenger out.

All that makes the replies even sweeter.

this one is realistic at least. 'it' being the Europa League.

I'd be more than happy if we won it. Beats conceding 5 to Bayern every year ‍♂️

Just read through Wenger's interview on Sanchez, he seems to think he will sign a new contract at some time this season but more succinctly he said there is no Champions league this season so we can concentrate on the premier league.
Doesn't sound like he is going to take the Europa league seriously then, unless in his supreme arrogance he thinks it will be a walk in the park.

Wenger will do a 'Arry and play kids in the group stage and maybe draft in the seniors if they reach the knockouts.

Arsenal have got Crvena Zveda in the Europa League. If you don't know who they are they are a shit team from South London.

If he does that he's an idiot, as we know you need full commitment in that competition as others teams raise their games.

Intrestingly I was talking with my mate recently a Utd fan who would always berate Spurs for not doing better in the EL, last season he said to me now he understand, he said it's an absolute slog and it's impossible to maintain form in both EL and the league. Seems like fans only understand the difficulties of the EL once they're in it

I thought Mustafi was fairly highly rated? So strange, especially when they've had to be playing Monreal at CB.
