Watched the red again, what a clusterfuck. Ramsey lets Willian past him too easily, Flamini just lets him travel 30 yards with the ball without closing him down, Koscielny stands like a fucking lemon playing Costa on, about 5-10 yards back from the rest of the defence, then Per goes and puts that tackle in. Absolutely horrendous.

As brilliant as he's been for ages, I thought it was poor from Nacho on the goal too. And what Flamini was doing for the goal I'll never know. Hopefully that's the last time we see him in a league game.

Surprised people thought Ramsey was poor - not saying he was amazing by any means but I thought that was his best game for a while. Always looking to be at the heart of things, at both ends. Want to see how he gets on with a competent midfield partner over the next few weeks, now that we have Elneny and Coq imminently available. It's impossible to make proper judgments about the midfield right now because Flamini is just appalling.

Probably more a signing for the future, maybe other clubs started sniffing around so we brought things forward?

I think there's probably a couple of reasons we haven't seen him so far: he won't have played since December due to the winter break, and Anfield/Stoke/Chelsea aren't exactly brilliant games to introduce him to (that said, I'd have brought him on for Flamini yesterday instead of the Ox > Theo sub).

I suspect we'll see him start against Burnley at the weekend, probably playing a B2B role alongside Chambers (or Coq, if he's fit enough). Then if he does well we'll be able to choose between Elneny-Ramsey and Coq-Ramsey for Southampton, and we can safely fire Flamini into the sun.

Have you seen this contract stuff with Ozil, talks of 33% of any profit on a sale over 50m going to Real and that they have a buy back clause installed if another Spanish club come in for him. I was just wondering, how long does that agreement last, when his contact is up and he then signs another on new terms, would the agreement with Real still be in place?

It seems a bit perverted that another club can benefit in a massive way from a sale of a player maybe 5 years after they sold him (and not a club that nurtured him)

Any ideas?

It sort of means Arsenal If they did sell, would make barely anything at all on him, which seems wholly unfair.

Fairly standard practice. Arsenal agreed during negotiations do nothing particularly unfair about it. I'm adding that Arsenal expected to have him around long term

And that any sale would be for a low fee once he's past his best. Therefore the sell on clauses aren't such a big deal.

AKA 'The worst game Arsenal game JDub ever went to'.

It's troubling that I'm now having a much more difficult time recalling what my favourite one was...

The 0-0 at home to Chelsea the season before was my worst. 90 minutes of my life where absolutely nothing happened.

problem with these perma injured players isn't just the wages, but the fact we don't sign other players as they are always about to come back. stories now emerging (no surprise here) that Wilshire is out for the season too.

this bloke signing is as likely as anybody else

Got a big decision to make soon with Wilshere I think. Contract expires in summer 2018, he's on £100k a week, but he's barely a playing asset anymore. Give him a new deal on that sort of money and we risk throwing huge sums away on Diaby 2.0, but he's still young and still has a lot of potential. It's a quandary.

edit: Wenger has denied that Wilshere has had a setback, says he'll be back in about 4 weeks
