Top 5 players for the season?

I can think of 4 clear standouts, but the rest have been wank.
Monreal, Bellerin, Koscielny, Cech, Ozil.

Not even really sure of Cech and Ozil's season fell of a cliff.

Pretty dire. Campbell and Iwobi put up a fair effort when they were named. Was mostly happy with Welbeck.

Ozil had played excellent most of the season. Just no one is converting the chances he is creating.

Yeah, you're right... I retract that.

I do think in the last ten or so matches he's realised that though, definitely dropped his head a little.

Those 4 are pretty obvious.

Not sure of Kos - he started okay, but has been shit since October.

Elneny, Welbeck and Campbell have been okay but haven't played enough games.

Giroud had his usual purple patch but returned to shit.

Sanchez may get 5th by default.

Ox did his medial in training, apparently out for the Euros too. Mertesacker has done a hamstring, season over.

I wonder if Chambers will be given a game at centre half. Gabriel has had a number of chances and hasn't really convinced.

Walcott gets a straight F, Ramsey no higher than a D. They've been shithouse.

The Optus thing has ****** things up a bit. Anyone here who isn't with Optus gonna get the package? I struggle to see how their sales strategy has been given the OK by the ACCC.
I am with Optus and I'm not even going to get it.

Yeah he's probably off to Bayern. Who could blame him really. Perhaps the only way Wenger splashes some money on players is if our current stars start telling him to get ****** and seek transfers.

Ozil would be in the same boat too - both of them are too ambitious to be enjoying life at the Emirates currently.

It's pretty shit if he did that, if it was any other player they'd be torched about it. But if it's Alexis, it's put down to his competitive spirit and desire to win etc.
When I saw it live I thought he was injured.

He was not in the training pictures yesterday either.

Cant blame him, players of his ilk get sick of just aiming for 4th place.
