DM - I really question your knowledge of football and where you get your ideas from.
Have to completely disagree with getting shot of Rosicky. He's a brilliant player who always gives it his all in the match no matter what the scoreline is. A great asset to the club and I would be sad to see him go. Santi didn't have a great season last year but he was immense the season before so I'd like to keep him but wouldn't mind letting him go.
Not sure what you have against Gibbs because he's a quality left back that you seem to be blind to and even then, we have Monreal for cover and Vermaelen is perfectly capable at LB.
I'm not even going to comment on your Walcott, Giroud & Poldi statements because it's just grade A baloney.
I didn't actually even say if Rosicky was any good.
Current midfielders(including central and wide, so 5 positions to play for).
Sanchez, Podolski, Ox, Ramsey, Ozil, Wilshire, Arteta, Flamini, Walcott, Santi, Rosicky, Gnabry(played wide more than upfront).
EDIT:- narrow this down to the three attacking(think two holding or more defensively capable spots and AMC and two wide players). Then you have Sanchez, Podolski, Ox, Ramsey, Ozil, Wilshire(capable there but usually takes one of the two more defensive slots), Walcott, Santi, Rosicky, Gnabry...... for just the three positions, and Eisfeld/Toral/Campbell deserve chances there too. We have eleventy billion players who all want to play in one of those three positions. Good or not, like them or not, fit for the season or not, it's simply too many.
That is first team that I can think of, 12 players. Then you have Coquelin, Zelalem, Ryo, Campbell(potentially), Diaby(lol), Toral and Eisfeld who are either on the books but we should get rid of, deserve a genuine chance or could be good back up, another 6 players(lets exclude Diaby).
How many games is Rosicky going to get, against who? Why have next to no Arsenal youngsters come through in donkeys years. Because against say Norwich when Eisfeld and Zelalem should be getting games to help them become first team material, we play Rosicky and Santi, etc.
We have a billion midfielders, we're apparently going to get Khedira as it is. He should be sold anyway, but especially if we buy yet another midfielder who likes to burst forward in Khedira.
It's got nothing to do with like or not, he's so far down the line as to be more of a barrier to our youth players getting games than genuinely useful for the first team. Let him go somewhere and play 30+ games a year(if fit that long), he won't get more than 5 at Arsenal and I'd prefer Zelalem or Eisfeld get those games.
Santi, better player but same situation, and he's genuinely useless out wide, and since we bought Sanchez there is very little chance of him playing more than a handful of games that again should be given to our youngsters to get them to progress, if that is Ox or Eisfeld doesn't matter. Again let him go somewhere and play 30+ games in his preferred position.
Gibbs can't defend, AT ALL, watch any of the games against big teams and watch for his positioning, how he gets caught upfield and exploited over and over again, considering he has next to no offensive output, why is he getting caught up the pitch at all? Verm cover, great, if he was genuinely fit and reliable, he's not. Gibbs has been the biggest liability in every big game of the last two years, because he can't defend for ****.
