I think no one can say arsenal have a bad team. It has the potential to be top four at least on paper or based on their talent. But what pisses of people, and I guess Sánchez too, is that while having money and all they are not willing to take the step to compete with big clubs.

I also feel some players just don't care, Ozil comes to mind, since there is no competition and everyone is winning big money. If Ozil plays crap or goes ghost mode like he usually does, he still gets to play. You have plenty if average players making a ton of money and in no need to up the gear.

Then you have humilliations like both 6-1 Bayern gave them.

So being top 4 and winning an ocassional national cup means you're a good team, problem is I don't think top players will be happy with just being top 4 to go to CL to get trashed. Hell, I remember Dani Alves after they beat them, saying that they were hoping to get arsenal in the first place, since they knew they played pretty football but they knew it was an obvious win
