Wenger is the problem.
There are players at the club who should not start games simply because they won't be here too long. how can we plan for the future. Wenger can only see as far as the end oh his nose. He has been too scared to drop sanchez. He hasn't put a performance in for months. yet it is only of late he has been subbed and then its usually too late to change the game. Whereas lacazette is dropped or subbed regularly but is hungry and willing to play for arsenal and has a future unlike sanchez who appears to have lost interest with arsenal. Which other top manager would carry on playing a player who wants to leave yet doesn't play there top signing. no wonder lacazette is looking to the skies.
Ozil on the other hand to his credit has upped his game. he maybe putting himself in the shop window. nonetheless he is giving 100per cent to arsenal. Wenger should have the balls to pay him 300k a week rather than letting him go for free then spend 60m plus on a replacement.
But how can wenger sort out ozils future when he kept every one in the dark about his own. There lies the problem how can we progress when the futures of top players aren't decided and have a manager who can't determine his.
I would get shot of sanchez asap he is putting a bad vibe around the squad. I wouldn't want to play with a player who doesn't want to be there. Players with loyalty like walcott are being ignored. I would rather give walcott a run in the team. but i have a feeling wenger will let him go in january and keep sanchez till the end of the season.
The defence also needs a full makeover. Cech koscienly merti monreal are not what they were. Mustafi is a mistake waiting to happen and chambers holding and bielek are untried. ospina is not top quality. maitland niles is not a left back and kolasniac like lacazette is not being used to his strengths and is also having the confidence zapped out of him by wengers bemusing team selections.
There has been large cracks widening at the club for a long time which are occasionally papered over.

With Arsene there will always be more questions than answers, no one really understands his decisions and there for no one can really agree with what he does and how he does it.
But 50% of fans are happy to go along with it regardless whether they agree or not.
Many clubs have had planes flying over stadiums only one club had has had two planes flying over at the same time.
It's the 50% who back Arsene regardless that maintain the way things are at Arsenal, the board and Arsene are 100% united and 100% interdependent on each other to be able to continue as they are and the only thing that makes them all bulletproof is the fans being split.
If the fans were all 100% focused on the clubs fortunes then change would come but because 50% back Arsenes interests ahead of the clubs change is prevented from happening.

we are willing or were willing to extend both players deals on top money. sanchez is off and ozil stalling. I still think both depart to Manchester.

I agree Derby both will go and probably to Manchester which won't be pleasant to see at all but it will be made even less palatable by the fact there will no 100+ million we would have got last summer for exactly the same outcome.
