The Deadwood Players Conundrum By: JG Figuring out how to responsibly deal with all of the Arsenal players who are now unwanted, confidence damaged or injured beyond repair has got to be a significant challenge.

Manchester United inflicted the heaviest defeat in Arsene Wenger's reign as Arsenal boss when they smashed the hapless Gunners 8-2 at Old Trafford. 8-2?!

All Premiership clubs have to name their playing squad for the rest of the season at the end of the January transfer window, and Arsenal have released their list today. On the goalkeeping side, Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and even Vito Mannone are included but Wenger hasn't even bothered putting Manuel Almunia on the list [.

When I woke up bleary-eyed and desperate of coffee this morning my first thought was "Why do I wake up so early for the impending doom that is Arsenal?" I turned my TV on and was greeted by the image of Arsene Wenger walking onto the pitch and a great view of the skyline above the Emirates Stadium, leading me to think, "At least it looks beautiful out there.

Arsene Wenger has finally found out why his policy of bringing youngsters through the Academy and pitching them straight into the Arsenal first team usually ends in a massive injury list. He has realised that the stress on still-growing bones is too much at a young age, which is what happened with Jack Wilshere last [.

It looks all but confirmed by the Arsenal website.

The future of Arsenal by KJ Arsenal of recent seasons have been known for their heavy focus on the ‘youth policy' and have been renowned for creating, nurturing some of the best players in the world. However, this heavy focus on the future has somewhat had a fatal flaw in its design, it has always [.

The consistent Bacary Sagna by KJ I'm of the opinion that our little Frenchman, Bacary Sagna has been our best defender for quite some time now. I haven't seen a player be so consistent for Arsenal over the years, it's mind boggling. Sagna began his career at Auxerre winning the French cup in 2005. Soon [.

The Bolton manager Owen Coyle did a great job with Jack Wilshere when he spent six months on loan the season before last, and if anything he is even more excited about this seasons Arsenal loanee Ryo Miyaichi.

This might not really be news to many supporters, but casual fans and youngsters may not realize that a fourth-place finish by the Gunners this season doesn't necessarily guarantee them a berth in the European Champions League. It rarely happens, but the UEFA rules state there are only four spots available for English teams and these won't be bent like they were back in 2005/06 season.

Muamba: Football world brought together in hope of a full recovery

The sight of the prone figure of Fabrice Muamba on the White Hart Lane pitch early on Saturday evening was one that shocked football to the extent that Real Madrid players sported wording on their match shirts wishing him a full recovery the following evening.

Arsene Wenger has said that his team's recent run of good form is a result of their failures in the 2010/11 season.

Arsenal were on the verge of ending their six-year long trophy drought at this time last season when they faced Birmingham City in the Carling Cup final. But in a surprising turn of events, they lost that match and their confidence took a serious hit.

When Wilshere comes back, who should we drop? by SV The return date for Jack Wilshere has been subject to a great deal of fluctuation recently, but the general consensus on sport websites is that he should be fit to give Arsenal a boost in the final few games of the season. And my ‘few', [...]

What is Arsenal's best winger combination? by KJ Arsenal's wingers have flourished this season especially Wenger's newest hot prospect, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Lewis Holtby: Transfer Analysis by SV A few days ago, the JustArsenal reader KidKnockout requested more information on a young player who has reportedly signed a pre-season contract with Arsenal: Lewis Holtby. I have seen the name crop up several times before on JustArsenal but, to be honest, never really looked into him very deeply.

Man City Analysis by SV It has been just over an hour since Arsenal deservedly beat Manchester City and, I'll tell you what, my pulse rate is still well above ninety. This was an absolute cracker of a match; it didn't have the goals, but it had some stupendous football – all of which coming [...]

The two man rotational system (Arteta and Song) by KJ In my last article regarding the players that Arsenal need to by this summer, I neglected the fact that we apparently needed a defensive midfielder and I received negative comments as a result. However, I want to clear up that misconception all together.

There have been a bucket load of Arsenal transfer rumours around the press all season long, and everybody agrees that when it comes to Arsenal, virtually every talented available player will get linked even if there's no interest in him whatsoever.

The excellent Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey has so far refused to sign a new contract at Craven Cottage, and with a brilliant record of 22 goals for the mid-table club this season, is certain to be in demand if he wants to move to a bigger club. Currently Arsenal are the 5/1 second favourites to [.

How much world class talent are we missing? y Richard B. I have always found it funny how stories are regurgitated in the press. Give a journalist a quote one day and for the next week or month you'll be seeing slimmed down versions of that quote resurface to confirm or deny whatever rumour happens [.

Don't Rule Out Lucas Biglia – By JG I know some fans are practically slitting their wrists to see Arsenal sign Yann M'Vila but come on, he's not the only player that would help strengthen the midfield. Yes, M'Vila is a great player we know this, but he is not the only option. One player [...]

The Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie is in cracking form ahead of Holland's attempt to win the Euro 2012 tournament, and he scored twice for the Oranje last night in the 6-0 demolition of Northern Ireland.

It's out of the frying pan and into the fire for Arsenal as they take on Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Sun. Jan 22.

No Sell No Buy (By S.H) With 11 days left in the Winter transfer season, Arsenal still haven't signed anyone. Arsene Wenger, as we know, is verbally parsimonious and enigmatic about recruitment.

Arsenal slumped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United as boos rang out after Arsene Wenger inexplicably substituted Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with the scores at 1-1 The nippy and technically astute youngster was having his best game in an Arsenal shirt and after much persistence from the hosts, set up striker Robin Van Persie [.

The performance against Manchester United demonstrates some valid points about the inefficient management style of Wenger. He is a very stubborn man and sticks to some philosophies that will [.

Over the last few seasons Arsene Wenger has gathered an assortment of players, paid them good wages and has waited for them to deliver. Unfortunately, they have not delivered the goods nor have they developed into the world class players we thought they would turn into.

For a few transfer windows we have been expecting these players to be sold, but the ridiculous wages, for their limited wages has meant we have not been able to get rid of these deadwood players.
