Since Emery has taken over, a lot of our attacking play is coming from the flanks. There is a real emphasis on our full backs pushing right up. I definitely think it's given us a different dimension in attack as previously under wenger, a lot of the play was based through the centre of Mf to provide the creativity and guile and against packed defenses, we struggled at times.
I know the full backs are there to give us width but why didn't we just invest in a fully fledged winger in the summer who understands the position and is effective in playing in that position.
If we have any money left, we really should be going in for players like Zaha or Bailey who would both walk into our team. The Top teams have Sterling, Sane, Mahrez, Mane, Salah, Hazard, Willian and co.
I am glad we have moved away from the tippy tappy stuff in Mf which was our only source of attack, which became predictable but we would be so much more dangerous with a player that is a natural in that position rather than having to rely on the likes of Mkhitaryan, Welbeck or Aubameyang to play there.
Need to invest in a Winger in Jan

United wouldn't sell Martial to us

Your right,we do need a proper winger desperately but we're not getting Zaha, he'll cost too much.

Zaha would fit Arsenal so well.

The only real ball carries we have in the team are Iwobi. He is another one that is too preoccupied with drifting into Mf.
It's baffling we that we have never really addressed the wide player issue

Surprised we never went for Malcolm in the summer

Malcom that went to Barcelona? Why would he chose us over them may I ask?

Still quite miffed we sold Gnabry tbh. Would have been great for us under Emery.
Ah well, he's starting to make some appearances for Bayern now, so I think that ship has sailed a long way away...
Cengiz Under of Roma looks a real prospect though. Could be worth a punt.

Man even Walcott would be an asset to this team

Would have been interesting to see what Ox and Walcott would had done under Emery
