Coquelin and Diaby give Arsenal midfield dilemma
Arsene Wenger has a selection problem for Arsenal with the visit of West Ham to the Emirates tomorrow. It is vital that the Gunners make the most of this game in hand to keep right up with Everton and Tottenham in the race for a top four finish. With Mikel Arteta injured, Wenger has used Francis Coquelin and Abou Diaby behind Jack Wilshere in the midfield. Both of those players look likely to miss tomorrow’s match and Arteta has not recovered, so Wenger has got to reshuffle his pack.
The boss may decide to drop Wilshere further back to the position he was playing earlier in the season, but Jack has been brilliant behind the forwards and it would be a real shame to lose that flair in attack. Podolski and Oxlade-Chamberlain both trained today after their illnesses, as did Tomas Rosicky, so Wenger does have plenty of players, but is that defensive midfield role, as usual, that is causing him problems. He must realise that we need back up for that position.
The only player who is fit and plays that role naturally is Emmanuel Frimpong. The 21-year old recently completed a short term loan at Charlton Athletic, so is match fit. The question is whether Wenger will risk throwing him into the team at such a crucial stage. He may decide to play Aaron Ramsey, who is versatile but more attacking minded than is ideal.
West Ham are a physical side, and I think that the combative Frimpong should be brought in to counter that. There are plenty of flair players in the Arsenal team, what we need is some grit and determination. What do you think Gooners?
PLAY FRIMMY!!!!!! Give him a chance to prove his worth #DENCH

it’s not even a question of money, it’s a question of logic, how any1 doesn’t sign biwa for 6.7m is beyond me especially when they have so many injuries and problems in positions he specialises in, why a manager doesn’t sign a proven goal poacher, in the same league, in his prime for 7.5m is disgusting but if we let diame go to spuds when we are crying for a defensive mid at 3.5m , arsene better hire security with that excessive paycheck he receives cause shits going down

Now, here me out, this is only an idea. To add a bit more grit in midfield, play vermaelen in the defensive midfield role, just infront of the back 4, with mertesacker and koscielny playing as centre halves. We know how much vermaelen loves to run forward, so this role might suit him for now. Then play ramsey and wilshere as the other midfielders.

Some fans really need to calm down. There is confusion about what is going on with Mbiwa at the moment. It looks like his head is getting turned away from Newcastle. I am not suggesting it is by Arsene. Newcastle are desperate so they are putting up with all the crap.
No doubt a good player but his attitude stinks. He is one who will not hesitate to walk out on us as soon as he gets a better offer. He is taking Newcastle’s because there is no other offer on the table. He has already suggested he would want to move on to bigger and better things in 12 months. Is that someone we need for our club?

M biwa obviously isn’t very good otherwise wenger would’ve got him make no mistake. I still Trust wengers judgement in YOUNG players. Mature players he doesn’t have a clue but young players are his forte. Anyway Let’s see if we get diame/wanyama and david villa. I’d be happy with that for now

With the players we have available I’d play Wilshere and Rosicky (or Ramsey if he’s not fully fit), the Ox left, Theo right and Pod up front with Cazorla playing off him. Not perfect by any stretch and we might get bullied in the centre of the pitch but no other options really. Could have played the new DM if we’d signed one…

Chill fellow gunners. who do we really need btw Mbiwa and Diame? I would say Diame cos we only have the Coq on that wing and we can only get two or three from the 100 players linked to us. I say cool down we will sign those that are necessary not those that are linked to us for the sake of it. The media is making a lot from us cos they know we arsenal fans are desperate and always on the net 24-7. Trust me we will come good. If things don’t go this way we wont appreciate 3rd or 4th position in the league. Wenger and the baord have already planned it that way cos they know we cant win the league at this time but in 2 – 3 year time. we will finish above the spuds, it a constant.

I don’t understand why arsenal transfers take forever and have to be filled with ridiles. With other clubs we here on SSN that they have interest in a player, after like two days they make a bid then before we know SSN notifies us that the club has signed the player. With arsenal its: we have interest in cavani, we made a bid for villa but we end up signing a player from the second division in france -__-

diaby always injured after 3 games
rosicky always injured
ramsey back after broken leg
gibbs always missed half of season. this season he is fit
sagna twice broken leg last season.
mid field is the position most of the guys are getting injured. we need to buy a midfilder who doesnt get injured like all these players.

Ha ha, I want some of what Lix is on. Going on these Forums to complain about lack of quality signings is like banging your head against a wall. Presuming that isn’t too much of an issue in your nicely padded cell Lix… It’s hardly the media’s fault that Arsenal have signed no players since Song left and we’ve slipped to sixth place, I think Arsene and his bizarre transfer policy may be responsible for that.

Winning formula for west ham I reckon, Wenger sign wanyama, hes what we need, hes a strong energetic midfielder that can drive forward on the counterattack, he can pass and shoot as well as an added bonus, I think we will definitely bring in some new talent, if we dont wenger defo has lost it.

With all respect, West Ham are not a very good side and we are playing at home. I think Eisfeld should finally get a chance, alongside Wilshere and Rosicky in the middle, with the Ox and Walcot on the left and right.
Podolski upfront.
Ramsey as an impact sub for Eisfeld in the second half, he has been pretty decent lately and seems to work well with Jack.
Gnabry also in the squad.
We should beat the Hammers 3-0 with Walcott, Podolski and Rosicky scoring.

Diame is NOT the answer. He’s not even a defensive midfielder really, and there is nothing spectacular about him that suggests to me he’d even start in this team, so why are we wasting our time on him?
Arsenal are just behind the times, it’s sad to admit, but we move too slow on players we like, and have yet to realise that in order to be a big club you have to spend money to get class players, and spend money to keep them.

When have a quality team with depth – you seldom have a dilemma and when you do it is the decision on which world class striker to start.
For the teams Wenger has put together lately, there is often little choice but to select a squad that does not inspire great confidence but does include underperforming players.
Welcome to the new Arsenal – I am bit ashamed to face this reality.

Someone shoot me now and make it swift i’ve suffered enough recently. It’s the 22nd of Jan we still don’t have any new faces with a threadbare squad languishing in the league. What is wrong with the people running this club it IS NOT THAT HARD TO FIND GOOD PLAYERS. Meanwhile Wenger is spouting “We have a good mentality, and a great squad with depth and strength. We will only look to sign a player if he is of our quality.. bla bla bla” – Absolute b.s! Trust me Wenger there are a lot of great players out there in the world and over the past few windows many of them have been AVAILABLE, but i’m sorry to say if you want a world class player you’re probably going to have to fork out more then £4 million, but guess what with world class players you have a better chance of challenging for honours. Honours mean cash is won, support is gained and global image improves thus generating more revenue (making you happy) but also making us happy. All we had to do this window was bring in one or two additions and it wasn’t hard. M’Villa is still available at about £8 Million which is a snip compared to the £20 million they wanted last season for him. He has time on our side and is the perfect replacement for Song but could be even better because he respects his defensive duties more so is perfect for the ‘viera’ role. Belhanda who was also available (now snapped up by Fenerbache) COST ONLY £6.7 million and played a huge role last season in helping Montpellier win the title scoring 12 goals and assisting on 4 occasions. Also at 22 the versatile french born Moroccan international is a forward thinking midfielder with vast potential. Demba Ba also only cost £7 million. These are just a few players we have missed out on so far this window, ok I understand we can’t go out willy nilly and spend £40 million on Cavani, but all of the above were great bargains and would have for sure helped fire us into the top four. I don’t know what to think now because it’s going to take the teams above us to slip up and for us pull out a long line of amazing performances to get back into the top four and i just don’t see that happening with this squad. Sad to say but it’s starting to look like Thursday night channel five for the Gunners next season..

@gonner4life Jovetic is the wrong move, a great talent no doubt but not what we need, he doesnt have enough power. We need someone similar to Giroud, but with more power, more speed and better finishing. Bony is the man we want not jovetic. Before a striker however I believe Wanyama is important, and Gregory van der wiel incase gibbs gets injured again. We need more depth. Striker is one place where we have some already, although Bony would no doubt light up the premier league..

I agree with most, Wanyama and Zaha are the 2 players I would like to see come in. Arsenal have already been seen off by MU on Zaha. So now it seems like it is a toss up between Wanyama and Diame as to who they will bid on? Guess what, it ain’t going to be Wanyama because they would have to pay to get a hold of him. Diame is a decent second choice I think, and he is likely to be worth??? Right you guessed it!!! 9 to 10 million! That is right where they like the price to be? Zaha will head to MU for 15 plus, and Wanyama elsewhere for at least that?? Arsenal just cant compete in the market? Good players cost?
A new signing wont solve it all though. Giroud cant score, that’s a major issue. TV LK and PM are simply not quite good enough so Arsenal need a better CB, And right back is beginning to creak as well. So what’s the solution???
Makes you wonder why they let Song go???
As well as A Cole, Fab, RVP, Nasri, Flamini. To name a few.

@ Gunner: Totally agree but think Zaha is risky at £15m. Wanyama will cost £10m+ as Celtic are still in CL so can afford to turn down anything Arsenal will offer. Should never have sold Song unless there was a replacement lined up. I still think that replacement was supposed to be Diaby and only a fool would place faith in him with his injury record. Which means we have got to seriously question Wenger’s credibility. Still think Yanga-Mbiwa would have been a good first step in sorting out our defensive problems as he could fill any of the problems positions (except LB). Wenger just does not seem to be able to coach defenders though. Since Sol Campbell left we have been seriously lacking in that area.

In regards to M’biwa first i will say its a good signing for Newcastle and i would have liked to see him here.
Has anyone thought that M’biwa did not want to join us. Last summer he pretty much said he’d rather not join us and wants to go to AC Milan.
Arsenal is not the most attractive place to come at the moment especially for a player they thinks they may have to sit on the bench. The same happened with Vertonghen he wanted to come here but went to spurs because he thought he would get more playing time as a CB. He even said that himself, we just can’t attract players to the club at the moment with no guarentee of first team football.
Years ago people would have happily joined Arsenal and sat on our bench because we were Arsenal. Now however our reputation across european football has worsened. When we drew Bayern there president said he was pleased with who they drew and they were confident they could win. A few years ago teams would be crossing there fingers in hope that they didn’t draw Arsenal, including Barcelona.

Sure do need a striker! Or at least a forward that can score??
Walcott is the best finisher they have. Podolski is not quite good enough he cuts inside too much and plays too deep for a forward.
Feel bad for Giroud?? He is physical, fights hard, got nice flick on, good in the air but! CANT SCORE!! he is even getting it on target sometimes and either the post, the keeper, or his own team mate is blocking his effort.
If not he just plain misses.
If they cant get him to hit the back of the net soon it’s curtains for him! And for the CL, same with Podolski!! Giroud will turn into another Bendtner
