As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

(and also his inept medical team and his wanky scouting system too)
We'll mark you down as sitting on the fence there a bit, huh?
But only if we also get rid of Gooner Ed and Mike Francis and bring in a managerial team that won't asterisk the beautiful gift that is the word "cúnt"
We can form a nice little splinter group from that lot, especially with the invaluable additions of Monostich, Red Member, US Marty and Baba
The threads would range from "Crisis in the Ukraine - I blame the board", "The wonder of Harry Redknapp" through to the "Bring back Almunia" tribute
From the original post, yes probably all of this lot will leave anyway so can't disagree:
Bendtner,
Diaby,
Sagna,
Vermaelen,
Chu Young,
Falpyhandski
However, we do not need a mass clear out of regular first players. With a new manager, medical team, world class striker, defensive midfielder and replacement for Sagna we have a team that can challenge for the title.

Yeah and if I had Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron and a few million I'm a fucking happy man!!

The ones I'd definetely like to see moved on/replaced either way are Monreal, Diaby, Park (is he actually still technically an Arsenal player?) and Arteta. Already assuming the likes of Bendtner, Djourou and Flappy won't be coming back.
We do not have a bad squad of players, unfortunately all the old failings which have dogged a variety of squads have shown up. The only common denominator is Wenger. It doesn't take an expert to see there is something wrong with our injury prevention, treatment and conditioning. As soon as we get to march/april every year we stack up muscular injuries which are then poorly treated. All tempo and pace goes out of our play, the only time in recent seasons I can remember being remotely satisfied by our form in the last 2/3 months of a season was last year and even that was a load of 1-0 scraps chasing the VT from way off the pace (not that I don't love a 1-0 scrap).
Unlike some I don't think the players are lazy or don't care, our problems go much deeper. There are not many first team regulars that I'm desperate to see the back of, we're going to need a new RB and CB when Sagna goes. I'd like to see an athletic defensive midfielder in the Fernandinho mould and a striker goes without saying.
Just a few more to go- but of course we are waiting till a world year to shift them all at far higher prices
Isn't Young only on loan till end of season?
You are quite right
On 31 January 2014, Park was loaned to Championship side Watford for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[13][14] Park made his Watford debut as a 90th minute substitute for Fernando Forestieri in the 2–0 win against Brighton on 2 February 2014.[15]
He made his first start for Watford in a 2–0 away loss against Bolton Wanderers on 22 February 2014.
2 appearences Jeez unable to squeeze into the Watford team
Sagna- luckily can easily get an upgrade on him
Martinez
Miyaichi
Flamini- only if we could swap him for kallstrom lol
Coquelin
Bendtner
Joel Campbell
Park
Viviano
I'd love us to get:
Fernando- FC Porto
Balotelli- AC Milan
Jung- Frankfurt
Griezmann- Sociedad
Definetely need a new CB but don't know who
Drmic- FC Nuremberg
Four new key players and two new and proficient squad players would all that would be needed to elevate this club to the next level. This is only with the assumption that Wenger is gonna be able to utilise his tactical nous with a large, varied and talented squad...
