"The concept of having 'too many' brilliant players is an odd one at any club, but particularly at Arsenal, where injuries routinely tear the guts out of their side and derail any chance they might have for a genuine title bid. Last season they were going great guns until Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and others were inevitably felled, to which
Wenger's response was to sign an ageing Swede who turned out to have a cracked vertebrae. Frankly, Wenger might as well have registered Gunnersaurus for all the good Kim Kallstrom did them."
This, for me, probably more than the tactical ineptitude and the persisting with crap players, is a real indicator of rank and absolute mismanagem
ent. How any AKB can still defend Arsene as the right man for the job is beyond me.
Quote - 7am kickoff:
"On the other hand, Fabregas finds himself—and us—in this situation because of his actions in 2011, when he put Arsenal in an impossible position, and subsequently moved to a club very well stocked in players of his type. As a result, when he did play at Barcelona, he was often played out of position. As a result, he failed to make a single position his own. As a result, he’s getting pushed out.
Underappreciated by Barcelona? Very much so. Partly his fault? Yes. And I’m not saying that with any maliciousness. I genuinely wanted him back at Arsenal this summer, and I imagine he wanted us, too. I also understand his reasons for wanting to join Barcelona. But his actions three years ago are felt to have injured us twice, both then, when we lost our best player, and now, when we face the prospect of him playing for an utterly insipid manager and club.
The thing to do now is focus on what we have. In Ozil, we have a younger player of the same caliber who is now acclimated to the Premier League. In Ramsey, we have Ramsey. In Wilshere, we hope to have Ramsey. In Cazorla, we have a shorter Ramsey.
In short, we don’t pay for Cesc. We have Ramsey."
Spot on.
. How utterly demoralising.
