Who needs to go?

I know its not very original to make a post about this but whatever. This is just who I think should be shown the door the season (there won't be many surprises if you've been following). I'm not commenting on any rumours in this post as per usual we've already been linked with every decent player under the sun.

Denilson

Denilson is a player who, to be honest I've never rated. He came in as a young Brazilian who was going to be the next best thing and just needed to mature. Calling this player Brazilian is an insult to their country, he is quite possibly the worst Brazilian footballer to have ever existed. His inability to pass, dribble or shoot does put him at a bit of a disadvantage. Luckily it seems we won't be offering him a new deal.

Bendtner

Yes that's right, I propose that we sell the worlds best player (he said so himself). Bendtner at first appearance looks like a clumsy, bumbling idiot. After watching him play for ten minutes its clear that he's a clumsy, bumbling idiot. Now I'm sure the Bendtner fans out there will be quick to point out his hat trick against Leyton Orient and his well finished goal against Ipswich. But the problem with both of those points is look at the opposition; Leyton Orient and Ipswich. Hardly top notch. His attitude also grates with many Arsenal fans, seemingly thinking he's perfection in boots. Any takers are welcome to his 'talents'.

Djourou

This may be the only surprise on the list. Now he filled in well originally but as the season went on his performance got worse and worse. There have been quite a few goals that he can be blamed for where hes played the ball straight to an oncoming player (Bolton) and has failed to play the offside trap. This isn't the first bad season he's had and although our defence is shaky to say the least he isn't gonna change our fortunes overnight so I think it may be time for him to move on.

Clichy

Gael Clichy has in recent seasons gone dramatically downhill. If I was an opposition manager looking at the back four, along with Djourou, Clichy would be the man who I would try to exploit. He tends to lose track of how far forward he goes and ends up chasing back and the times when he does stay back he backs off players too much and is fairly well beaten. After a certain money grabbing dickhead left for Chelsea, Gael began fairly well but with Gibbs waiting in the wings I think Gael either needs to move on or prepare to make way for Gibbs to mature.

Manuel Almunia
I think many fans will agree that Manuel has fallen out of love with not only the club but many people within the club. Its nothing against him in particular, I thought he was a good keeper a few seasons ago. He used to be able to hold his own quite well on a regular basis. But now with Wojek becoming more and more popular amongst the fans for his impressive performances and Wenger favouring Fabianski above Manuel it seems unlikely that we will be seeing much more of him. 

So they are the 5 players who I think should be moving on, the top 2 in particular as they are simply shit. Next week I'm gonna name a few players who I would like to see at the club but no doubt knowing Wenger we won't see anybody of note. Have a good Bank Holiday.
