Comfortable with Gabriel standing in for Mertesacker. He's done really well and more game time will only push him and Per to play better.

Would like to see Wele play before the FA Cup final, so he can collect his medal.

Wilshere out till 2016

by Jay29 Mon Sep 14, 2015 11:11 pm

Good to know we've successfully replaced Diaby.

by RealGunner Mon Sep 14, 2015 11:21 pm

You could almost sense it with Wenger's words

Before International break it was "He should be back in training after"

But after the international break it was "He has been progressing slowly"

lol.

Wilshere should just go and live in Qatar for a year while doing nothing.

by Jay29 Tue Sep 15, 2015 2:58 pm

Arsenal confirm Wilshere will be out for a further three months after having surgery on his left fibula.

by Sina Tue Sep 15, 2015 3:12 pm

Not surprised Neutral

at least we have 3 new Signings guaranteed for 2nd half of the season The Arsenal Injury Thread - Page 39 Xowen10

I know I am repeating myself but Wenger needs to accept that Wilshere cannot be played in attacking positions, atleast not until he is fully healed.

Wenger himself has said before that he thinks Wilshere plays best deep in midfield, I don't know what made him change his mind recently.

Jack needs to take some time off from football, at least a year or he wont have a career.

by Jay29 Tue Sep 15, 2015 4:11 pm

He's flipped-flopped on Wilshere's best position enough to suggest he doesn't know for sure. Maybe he still sees Wilshere's ability to carry the ball forward through midfield as more important than anything else, since Rosicky is the only other midfield he has that can do that. He might also look at England's midfield make-up (one regista-like player, two work horses), compare it ours and think Wilshere playing deeper simply wouldn't work as well.

But then, you watch him play for England as the deepest midfielder and it's a fact that he doesn't get his taken out nearly as often as he does playing in an attacking role for us. He'll still gets some heavy tackles laid on him (a player of his style always will) but since he's mostly playing in an area with less congestion he's more protected.

It's something they need to give serious thought over, otherwise he's going to come back, dribble through a congested part of the pitch and then get someone's studs planted in his ankle again for the 100th time. Rinse and repeat.

Ramsey and Bellerin out for tomorrow's match

by Jay29 Tue Sep 15, 2015 6:24 pm

The suggestion is that they're both being rested and aren't outright injured. We don't want to be taking risks with Chelsea on Saturday.

We could see the return of Flamini tomorrow.

by RealGunner Tue Sep 15, 2015 6:38 pm

Arteta pls

by Jay29 Fri Sep 18, 2015 10:07 am

No new injuries, according to Wenger. Presumably Bellerin and Ramsey are okay to play.

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 9:41 pm

Coquelin could be out for a month

by Jay29 Sat Sep 19, 2015 9:48 pm

Well, can't say none of us saw that coming. :facepalm:

by Sina Sat Sep 19, 2015 9:49 pm

back to Arteta-Ramsey surely
season will be over if we use Arteta-Cazorla in 4231

by MJ Sat Sep 19, 2015 9:58 pm

There wasn't one CDM on the market who would have softened a blow like this, eh?

by Jay29 Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:04 pm

Gonna be banter when we send out a mid three of Arteta, Cazorla and Ozil against Bayern.

by El Gunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:06 pm

Kondogbia? Krychowiak?

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:08 pm

forget those names

time for internal solution

Spoiler:

by Jay29 Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:10 pm

Maybe we have another DM loaned out to a Championship club somewhere.

Time for the rise of Isaac Hayden hmm

by El Gunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:11 pm

Did we ever get around to trying good lad Callum in that position hmm

by Sina Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:13 pm

do we have option to recall any Loanees?

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:23 pm

Yea, as long as we pay some sort of fee.

Not a problem in getting anyone back. but Hayden won't be getting any minutes if we call him now and Coquelin gets fit.

Worth a try though.

by Jay29 Sat Sep 19, 2015 10:24 pm

There's also Bielik in the u21s. You know, that guy we spent nearly £2mil on so we could play him in the reserves.

by RealGunner Sat Sep 19, 2015 11:09 pm

Now that's an internal solution
