Campbell is ahead for me at the minute. Chamberlain is a better prospect, but I think Campbell has more to offer the team at the minute.

Anyone notice how quick Olly looked on Tuesday? On 4 occasions he absolutely bust a gut to get into the penalty area when we were on the break. Certainly didn't look like a slouch.

Agree with everything else you said apart from this. He USED TO come up with his fair share. Not in a while though!

Last two seasons he has 16 & 10 which is an excellent and a decent return. One goal every 4 games last season is not bad which is what he had last year.

This season he does only have 1 but hopefully that will improve.

Ooh this might cause a tantrum down the Kings Road.

That's the position though.

No way would a goalscoring CMF continue scoring on the wing. Physically, you need to be different.

Just reading the whole Mathieu Valbuena story (scroll down to read), we were lucky there not to have ended up with Benzema. Looks like Nasri is also deeply involved.

I cant see how anyone would not pick Ramsey in our starting 11.
He can give the ball away cheaply at times but he certainly isnt the only one.

He has incredible energy and provides much needed support in the centre also which is often overlooked.
Plus he comes up with his fair share of goals.

I like Ramsey but when you look back to our best teams under Wenger he wouldn't make the starting XI. He would only be a squad player. That is the level we should be aiming to get back to.

Well lads, When is welbeck due back?What's been the general consensus on him from fans so far? Was gutted when Van Gaal sold him.

IvoryTower · 27-11-2015 10:38PM

Sound lad, fairly ****e though

He's a better winger than Ox and Campbell. Yeah he has ****e finishing but his workrate and power out wide make up for it.

I think he could have performed the same role as Parlour when he was a regular in the team

emergingstar · 27-11-2015 11:15PM

Thought wengers interview today was interesting

Mentioning they might be players on the bench for teams that have the quality

Amy good DMs who are currently not getting a game at there respective clubs?

Back sometime in the new year. An important squad player, not quite a first team regular. He's been missed

Parlour was much much more consistent. Very rarely had a bad game.

The thing is that Wenger and the addition of Vieira and Petit/Gilberto really helped Parlours game. He was ordinary up to that point. Rambo hasnt had the same quality of player beside him in terms of power and strength

He was, but only from about 97 onwards. So basically from around the age that Ramsey is now, up to this point of their careers Ramsey would have the edge and that's with the broken leg + recuperation thrown in.

He needs to step up like Razor did, but he's definitely got it in his locker if he can leave the injuries behind him.

IvoryTower · 28-11-2015 07:11AM

We always look better/stronger when rambo plays ,that's good enough for me. Did someone not post a stat up that we're far more likely to win with him? Maybe it was f365

Agree fully, was just pointing out his goal scoring was not a strong feature lately.

Brilliant comment from AW!!! Got a real laugh out loud from that!

Speedster up front. Is he doing what we want Walcott to do?

JustTheOne · 28-11-2015 06:54PM

Glad we got Leicester away out of the way early on.

They really look lethal in the break.

Counter attacking really is the name of the game these days

Never get him for that.

I'd say Wenger will go £30,000,001

Vardy could be a one season wonder like many before him.
I'd expect a few good seasons before i'd buy anyone.
We've seen it all before.

Or just hitting his prime at 26.
