A quality dcm who can protect the defence (alone) and who is good at passing the ball (forward fast) is probably what we need the most imo. (if everyone is fit)

didn´t want to look greedy

January should be busy. Quality goalkeeper RB backup Experienced CB Experienced DCM Quality Striker

No. We had the same farce last season with Alnwick plus selected the full 25 man Pl squad so he could only come in Jan. Also brings other issues for anyone expecting us to sign 3/4 players as we will no doubt only do 1 in 1 out so as not to waste wages on ineligible players In other words - we´re doomed!

are we allowed to sign/loan a new keeper in this situation...im not familiar with the rules. Valdez sounds like a great option (if allowed)

awful news. close to be our most important player...he has started the season very well and he actually seems like he care...

It might explode

tbf - i think he needs to learn that there is a defensive side of the game too. Not saying he needs to be a second LB like jonas was. At the moment we need all players to fight 100% - thats the way out of this poor run. But i was not really happy to see obertan come on instead of him against Chelsea.

What part of him looking like he'd rather bath his own mother than put in 100% for Newcastle do you not understand? well, i agree he has not put in a strong performance for some time. just saying he has been used as a lone striker with little service for a long time. That also means he has been used as a target man - when it so obvious that it is not what he is best at. He needs to be in the box where crosses are coming in more often and a partner to make place and take the attention away from him. His working conditions have been awful and not many would have done better in terms for goals imo. Things might have happen behind the scenes?...but if Steve M can get his head right and we start playing with 2 forwards then things might change. This season (or half season) will tell? Not ready to let him go unless we sign a proven goal getter.

Means everything to a player if the whole team is doing well....just saying.

Pardew destroyed him tbh! Him next to Mitrovic or perez could interesting to see! I still defend him much of the way...he practical didn´t have any service for 2 years. Look no further then last season...fine stats he has! Try him with a partner up front and let him do what he does best and he might score a few which will mean a lot to his confidence.

good player but we need to upgrade - both anita and colback are ok squad players. Think a quality DCM could improve us much.

Great game. Feel sorry for the lads. They deserved more cos Chelsea has never looked that poor (1st half at least) mbabu: what a great performance...and he is not even a LB! He should keep his place...a gamble but seems like he can handle it. His positioning was a bit off at times...but what a debut Defence did well in general. krul did well and looks on form...(will never learn to kick though)! Loves Mitrovic attitude. Perez is awesome. In the final minutes when we had the corner...( know De Jong was out and it was very important not to lose) ....but at home we cannot drag time in the corner instead of going for a goal...when we already scored 1 from corner earlier in the game.

ok - he didn´t play yesterday...his time will come...and he must learn its hard work to be a star player! hope he is not ben arfa version 2.0

quality CB, LB, DCM, FW = 4 new faces in january please! and what do we do when Janmaat gets injured?

our defence is a joke...

what has led you to this conclusion? dunno...

not playing well atm....but there is still not much service! not defening - just saying we do not create much

not a fan - but he should not be dropped for Dummett

Dont fancy our chances of that seeing some of his comments about it being due to the new players needing to settle and get used to PL football. Its the useless f***ers already here that have been the biggest culprits so far not sure i think sissoko should be dropped...maybe play him central or LW? I prefer Thauvin on RW. Crossing will not come natural for any of them...but i think we could benefit from other abilities. He needs to do something about getting Perez in as a minimum, i still cant comprehend how he wont give Aarons more than 15 mins in a season he started Obertan in 2/3 games. Yes, hope to see both de jong and Perez start.

thauvin sissoko Gini Aarons De Jong Perez

really hope we will win this one. Difficult to predict the outcome. 1-2 would be my (objective) guess.

excited and think we can get a result. Players seems ready/fit and confidence high(er). Arsenals defence is crooked. Think we will get draw minimum.
