Gustavo is twice the player Paulinho is.
Schneiderlin's a great shout. Cracking player.
Flamini and Arteta are not good enough? Ok best appoint you lot as manager is you can save our season!
When did you have to be a manager to see a player isn't good enough?
U6360 with some excellent debating skills here....
Can't you see the point? We have been top of the league all season and yet you say our two cm are not good enough. Good enough for what? Being top of the league? Give them some credit man!
OK, so your logic, just so I'm absolutely clear :
Because we have been top of the league for the majority of the season, every single one of our players is now irreplaceable and literally cannot be improved upon.
Is this correct?
Good enough for beating teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United...
Good enough to win the title.
Good enough to win the CL.
Sorry for saying idiot btw, I have had a long day!

Disagree completely, Flamini is the better option.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have to agree with Bats on that. Arteta is slow and overrun easily.
IMO, our weak spots are striker and this deeper midfield role. These two positions, IMO, cost us a fair percentage of our points lost over a season.
That is not to say Giroud, Arteta and Flamini are poor players, but if we want to step up a level again in the summer it is these positions I would want us to strengthen first.
Our defence has been suburb this season and I believe Flamini has helped this happen.
You can't say it is those two who caused us to lose against city and UTD. We could have beaten city if we did not have a big game during the week and UTD was a bloody nightmare and none of our players put in a good performance,
Arteta and Flamini are different players being forced to play similar roles. Arteta has always been an attacking midfielder until he came to Arsenal, and Flamini is a defensive player. So it depends what role you are talking about. Flamini is combative but can be needlessly dirty, and he needs to cut that out of his game. He was actually surprised to be sent off against Southampton yet that was a clear red card, and the club rightly decided not to appeal.
I can see your point DJ. I agree with you on that.
Viera was needlessly dirty too!

No Chris!
Agree with you about our weak spots DJ. Think both of these will be addressed in the summer.
Agree with DJ. Hopefully Diaby will be back and tear up to league
Arsenal team news says Diaby will be back in March, so that means he may be fit enough to play the last game of the season but will get injured for the whole of next season in the process. It means he doesn't have to worry about interrupting his summer holidays with a pre-season.

Arteta is a better option than Flamini!
