6 Players Wenger Should Consider Kick'n Outta Arsenal

Almunia s*cks!

So you’ve (hopefully) read my first installment, of players I would like to see Wenger buy. Now you’ll see the nasty side of me with players I think need to be sold, or could be sold without weakening the team.

Manuel Almunia:

Possibly the difference between us winning something and losing. The Premier League’s worst ‘keeper I think, he just seems afraid of the ball at every chance he should be saving. He can’t punch the ball clear, and when he does he only sends it to the opposition. He rarely catches a ball cleanly and when he comes for crosses, you better close your eyes unless you like seeing huge mistakes.

"

Verdict: Has to go.

"

Lukasz Fabianski:

Imagine Almunia, ok, now imagine 5 times worse! Now wake from your nightmare. Fabianski gets plenty of support from Wenger, but I see nothing to back it up. He’s rarely put in a solid effort, and when a keeper goes for a cross, there is no way his hand should extend as little as Fab’s does. A good shot-stopper on his day, but then again, his days are oh so rare.

Flappy can’t flap for his life!

"

Verdict: Has to go.

"

Mikael Silvestre:

I’m not certain if his contract runs out this summer, but if it does I hope Wenger doesn’t even dream of renewing his contract. The lad doesn’t know how to defend properly, and has been often caught as the last man back in the offside trap, leaving a striker with a free goal to shoot at. Not up to the Arsenal standard, in fact, not even up to Championship standard.

Did Sol punch him!? #Wish

"

Verdict: Has to go.

"

Philippe Senderos:

Yes, he is still an Arsenal player, in case you had forgotten. But the fact he has been loaned out for the last two seasons means one thing to me, Wenger doesn’t have faith in him. So why keep loaning him out? Get rid of him or play him, is what I think. I don’t think you can just loan out a player until he suddenly becomes world-class; if he isn’t, he shouldn’t be at Arsenal. Simple.

He’s crying Arsene, please let him go. Else we might as well cry!

"

Verdict: Probably will go.

"

Denilson:

This isn’t necessarily a must-go, but Denilson has to start acting as if football is his passion, rather than just an easy paycheque, because all I have seen from him this season is a few hopeful long-range shots, and a whole lot of jogging about the pitch, which is simply not good enough. Midfielders are meant to be up and down the pitch, he is constantly in the middle.

Can’t he just fly away!? Just like that!

"

Verdict: Won’t go but should.

"

Carlos Vela:

Overrated would be the word I use to describe Vela, if I could only use one word. The Mexican has natural ability, but he just doesn’t do it for Arsenal. I don’t know if they play football too complicated and intricate for him, or he just isn’t bothered, but to me he just doesn’t seem to fit in, which is a shame.

Arshavin must be thinking ‘who is this clown’? Infact two in there!

"

Verdict: Probably will go.

"

This would mean a major shake-up of sorts, but considering the club can register only 25 players for next season, it won’t be too bad, especially if some fresh & experienced players are signed. There are other players who could go, but I’ve tried to keep this to the worst performers this season.

Let me know if I’ve missed someone, or included a wrong’un up here; thoughts basically on how you’d want Arsenal to line-up for next season taking into account the players that we bring in. Keep Gunning for now..

"

PS: This article was prepared before the Fulham game last evening; logic suggests after seeing Vela chipping the keeper delightfully, sticking with him would be the right decision! Aye!?
