Arsenal FC – Wojciech Szczesny Isn’t Good Enough for the Future
It seems like forever since Arsenal had a goalkeeper everyone was pleased and happy with. Their trio of Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone has been at the club as the “future” for quite some time, but none of them have proven they have what it takes to become the one fans can trust between the posts for many years.

Arsenal FC – Lukas Podolski Shouldn’t Be Pleased About Debut Season
While Lukas Podolski seems to be more worried that his current ankle injury is going to keep him out of the Germany internationals, it is his form for Arsenal over this entire season that needs to concern him, which as been a lot closer to a failure than a success.

Olivier Giroud, Arsenal Success or Failure?
If you ask Olivier Giroud, you’ll find out he doesn’t understand where all the criticism for his debut season in England is coming from. In his opinion, he’s done quite well on his debut season with Arsenal, despite not putting up scoring numbers some expected of him, replacing someone who’s quite irreplaceable like Robin Van Persie.

Arsenal to Manchester United – Robin van Persie Made the Perfect Choice
Arsene Wenger once said that if he’d had the talents he’s been grooming over the years this season, things would have been different. But talents don’t want to stay for promise after promise, preferring more money and a lot more ambition. Robin van Persie chose, along with Arsenal, Manchester United, and didn’t have to look backwards even for a single second.

Arsenal FC – Arsene Wenger Doesn’t Want Theo Walcott as a Striker
Despite being the team’s top scorer, Theo Walcott will continue to play on the flank for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger acknowledges the England forward is a much better finisher than he has been earlier in his career, but sees no reason to move him from his current position.

Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Strikes Before it Got Really Boring
Boring Arsenal is no longer a chant attached to the team George Graham led to win two Premier League titles over 20 years ago. It’s alive and well, even under the hands of the Arsene Wenger, who’s no longer the magician he used to be. Theo Walcott may have broken the club’s Premier League record for quickest ever goal, but there was nothing too impressive in the 89 minutes that followed.

Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Should Start Playing as a Striker
Arsene Wenger keeps refusing the talented English forward, but after going through so much this season in terms of trying to find consistent goal scoring, maybe the solution of giving Theo Walcott more opportunities to play in the center of the attack, as a striker instead of a winger on the right, is the best one he has to use.

Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere is Not the Future
The huge turn Arsene Wenger has pulled over the last couple of seasons, partially because of his refrain from big spending, and trying to create a basis of young English talent to lead Arsenal in the future is a welcomed one, but trying to mislead everyone, including himself, by putting too much on the shoulders of Jack Wilshere will only lead to more disappointment in the future.

Arsenal FC – Arsene Wenger Can’t Leave as a Failure
Each season has its own goals an ambitions, and Arsenal, as strange as that sounds, have been lowering their standards with every passing year. Arsene Wenger is a big part of that “tradition”, as the club becomes more and more about ending the season with an impressive profit line, instead of trying to compete for titles or the best players available on the market. If Santi Cazorla is the best this club can find, it means someone is doing something wrong.

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud & Laurent Koscielny Aren’t Good Enough
Of the many mistakes and bad signings Arsene Wenger has made for Arsenal over the past few years, two stand out above the rest – Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud. Both Frenchmen, tall and impressive looking, before they start playing football.
