Not exact matches
With Lyon unable to build a
team around him to bring
success to the club, it's arguably time for him to move on, and according to The Telegraph,
Arsenal continue to push forward with trying to get a deal done.
I wish new hope of
success will start as soon as Winger may have leave the
team and will start again watching
arsenal matches.
Although it is easy to accuse
teams like Chelsea and City of trying to buy
success, I feel as though this model is exactly what many
Arsenal fans are crying out for.
So simply put, we need to support the club with passion and respect, we can judge Wenger and the
team on their
success at the end of the season, but now we must fulfill our role as fans and show everyone involved that we are behind the club as proud
Arsenal supporters, a club who's
success was not purchased but instead achieved on the back of financial fair play, stability and commitment.
These are not always a
success, however, with
Arsenal also raiding Los Cules for the likes of Fran Merida and Jon Toral, who could not establish themselves in Arsene Wenger's first -
team.
I don't even believe the people who so blindly support Wenger are
Arsenal fans by any stretch of the term — you want
success for the
team regardless of who is the manager.
The
success of an academy should be measured by the number of players that end up in the senior
team, and I think on that score
Arsenal is on top of all the top four
teams.
There is alot of balance in
Arsenal team now, and the calibre of players we have can make us dream of
success, but there is still need for additional good players in the department of attack and wing.
Remember if you aren't at the head of the class when it comes to the development of young talent, which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing to properly train and play said blue chippers, (like the 90s
Arsenal or clubs like the modern day Monaco and Dortmund) you need to spend to win... anything in between is highly problematic... failure to make the necessary changes leaves you in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult to get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan
teams... next step after that is being known as a «seller», which could be us already if and when Sanchez leaves... there are only two
teams that have worn this moniker in recent times and had some decent
success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond, which only occurred when they both brought in new, charismatic leaders in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing to create the hierarchy necessary to go the youth route and he's unwilling to put his
team's potential
success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's time to place all your chips in the middle or go gently into that good night
It's difficult to blame Ozil for the difficulties he's faced at
Arsenal without looking at the big picture... like the fans, he too was lied to by Wenger... there is no doubt in my mind that he was told by Wenger that he was trying desperately to recreate our earlier
success by acquiring players that fit the system he ran when Henry was in his prime... as we know this hasn't happened... in order for Ozl to flourish he needs some speed up front, forwards that can make intelligent runs, a boss in the midfield to compensate for his obvious defensive liabilities and defenders who can transition from defence to offence quickly and efficiently... much like he had in Real and with the German National squad... unfortunately he ended up on a squad that has a striker who plays with his back to goal, very few intelligent runs into the box, minus Sanchez, no one to take pressure off him in the midfield, once Cazorla was injured, average defensive midfielders around him, which simply highlighted his lacking defensive qualities and defenders who lack the necessary cutting edge when it comes to transitional passing... instead of blaming Ozil, which is simply too easy, especially considering his mopey disposition, we should be asking ownership and / or Wenger why they brought him in if they didn't intend on doing what was necessary to get the best from him... can you imagine Ozil playing with the likes of Henry, Viera, Petit and Pires, it would be incredibly to watch and even more difficult to stop... so the only thing different between his experiences in Real and with the German
team versus his time at
Arsenal are the players around him and we all know who is in charge of making those decisions, the Grinch who stole soccer
Of course it would be silly to suggest that winning any game, cup or otherwise, isn't good for the club, but let's remember just how problematic FA Cup
success has been for this club... I'm certainly not going to suggest I didn't enjoy seeing
Arsenal win, I'm a fan of this club first and foremost, but how bad are things when you find yourself secretly wishing that your own
team lost so that just maybe real change would finally come... I resent this
team for even making me feel such thoughts and it's going to take a lot of effort on their part to earn my trust again... this club has treated the fans so poorly that it has created an incredibly fragile and toxic environment, so much so that a «what have you done for me lately» mentality has emerged... fans rise and fall depending on the results of each game because we don't have faith in those in charge to make the necessary changes to personnel and tactics... each time we win many fans attack any dissenting voices and make unrealistic claims about the players, the manager and the potential for unprecedented
success... every time we lose the boo - birds run rampant, calling for heads to roll and predicting the worst... regardless of what side you fall on, it's not your fault, both sides are simply overcompensating for the horrible state of affairs that have been percolating for several years... it's hard to take the long view when those in charge have lied incessantly and refuse to take any responsibilities for their own actions... in the end, we are trapped by the same catch - 22 that ManU faced upon Fergie's exit... less fearful of maintaining the status quo than facing the unknown, which was validated, wrongly or rightly, by witnessing the difficulties they have faced during this transitory period... to be honest, the thing that scares me most is that this
team has never prepared whatsoever for this eventuality, which considering our frugal nature and the way we have shunned many of our most revered former players is more than a little disconcerting
one crucial dividing factor among the
Arsenal fan base is Wenger and lack of
success of the
team.
I am really liking the theory of
arsenal not spending the funds to strengthen the
team, is due to the false impression of
success in
arsenal finishing second so the
team does not need much improving.
Barca was one in ten thousand made up
team that couldn't go wrong for any intelligent player and Bayern is in a way the same and city is not too far from the elite with the right funding he could of been
success with
arsenal as well
While a move to Sevilla wouldn't make sense from an ambition point of view as it's difficult to see how they could offer more assurances than
Arsenal over winning major trophies, a chance to work with Sampaoli again after their
success with the Chilean national
team could be an appealing proposal.
Arsenal are heavy favourite to beat Bournemouth, who despite having home advantage haven't had much
success against the top 6
teams this season.
First things first in that it's true that
Arsenal do have a player who they can believe in and the rest of the
team can follow onto
success.

Teams Ranked By Set Piece
Success:
Arsenal, Liverpool & Man United Concede More Than They Score, But Chelsea & Man City Excel.
Players want to win things and its been clear from Wengers Approach to the transfer window over many years that he is not interested in buying in a super
team, he wants cheap players that he can nurture into superstars and then take the credit from signing the «new thierry Henry» ect Players now do nt want to play for
Arsenal as they know we are always going to be the «Also Rans» of the EPL Wenger it has to be noted has had very little
success in the transfer window since David Dein left and that to my mind is significant he is currently sitting in france commentating for french TV during the euro's while everybody else is buying up the available players that should be on our radar.
Merson Wright Robson or anyone who has an axe to grind with
Arsenal is at it I don't give a shit what they think I support th club and
team in general if they play shit we have had more
success then most
teams Thy seem to Laud spuds but the fukers win nothing they won 2 trophies in 30 yeas but I don't see the media others pulling them up on it like we had when we didn't win anything for 10 years There is definitely an agenda in the media against
Arsenal and its sadly spearheaded by ex
Arsenal players So I say when they ubfairly attack the club and our existing players they are fair game for retribution from the real fans who lives be the club and will support it through thick and thin.
Include the cost of building the new stadium and it is evident that overr this period the
Arsenal have punched above their weight 3) There is a stong correlation 90 % between the size of the wage bill and
success in terms of winning trophies (in 2011
Arsenal 5th) 4)
Arsenal supporters expectations for their
team and manager are far too high — the EPL is beyond their means at present.
The biggest miss would of course be Mesut Ozil, who is the heart and soul of
success alongside Alexis Sanchez in this
Arsenal team.
I'm expecting big things from both players over the course of this season and although of course they will take some time to truly settle into the
team, if today has any bearing of their potential
success at
Arsenal, then I think we can be hopeful that Wenger has made two good purchases here.
Cazorla's regular presence in the
team may be a missing element for
Arsenal's
success.
It was of course 2005 - 6 that that symbolic
Arsenal team began to break away and this
team is in my opinion the closest Wenger has come to replicate a squad that is capable of achieving similar
success.
Before wenger
Arsenal was flirting wirh
success here and there but not a top
team as you know it today.
And as Danny Welbeck is still carrying an injury problem, while Alexis Sanchez has only just come back to north London after a late summer holiday following the Copa America
success of his country Chile, neither of those two
Arsenal forwards will be fit to face Jose Mourinho's
team.
Thierry Henry is an
Arsenal legend and it will be an honour to see him coach the same
team he won laurels for to
success, but first things first!
SkySports reported how Szczesny's future however remains up in the air and that it seems that although he may want to stay out on loan at Roma, in order to command a first
team place, his desire to achieve
success still lies at
Arsenal.
When will the management and board wake up to this inadequate style of management and realise that the
team needs to win things to be a financial
success — by really pushing the brand worldwide again and making
Arsenal the
team that is on everyone's lips from Azerbaijan to Zebrugge and making the fans happy and proud.
No not a great deal but he has captained
Arsenal in a
team with Arsene Wenger so although you are right, he's no
success as a coach, he is far more qualified than you or me to talk about Wenger as he has played for him, unlike me and you.
At this current moment in time, I believe that
Arsenal have a very strong
team, and that if it wasn't for the strength and money splashers of the Premier League's big spenders, then perhaps we would be looking at far more
success from the last few years.
He came out publicly and accused other
teams of trying to buy their way to
success against well known norms associated with such
team (
Arsenal).
It wasn't long before Wenger brought
success to the club and turned
Arsenal into not just one of the biggest and most competitive
teams in England, but in Europe as well.
With the ways the other
teams are shaping up: 1) New managers in EPL with quite the
success (Pep, Klopp, Conte & possibly Mourinho) 2) Big money not afraid to spend And looking at the way the club, are lovely
Arsenal they're playing for are doing: 1) Wenger not showing any sign of changing his approach on the market 2) Lack of accountability & ambition at every level Delaying there contract resigning for themselves is the smartest thing they can do!
The tactic to win is 1) support your
team 2) support ur manager (esp the one who brought more
success to
arsenal) Don't be an ungrate fan or should i say brainwashed by the media.
Pessimistically speaking, We just can't beat the others in the long run, they have more committed and
success driven players and coaches (unlike wenger) Optimistically speaking, If
arsenal can keep up a good performance till January, let's say we beat all the small
teams and and draw against other big
teams (plus one or two wins or losses), come January if cazorla comes back (and stays injury free) and wenger gets a winger then we could actually have a chance
Right now we do nt need him and he has had Much too Much
success in suuny Madrid to come and labour in the cold soggy epl where «smaller»
teams do nt roll over and die even when they are 0 - 4 down with 10 minutes to go especially when they play
Arsenal.
While Costa may be the finishing piece of a great puzzle at Chelsea, Sanchez is single - handedly keeping
Arsenal alive this season, and it is hard to imagine he won't prove the catalyst to a great period of
success if Arsene Wenger can build a better
team around him in the next couple of transfer windows, with a player of this ability deserving a solid defence and midfield behind him to allow his talent to deliver more than just fourth place.

success.
Unfortunately
Arsenal have weak links that run throughout the
team and will scupper the chances of immediate and short term
success..
The top four
teams of the last two decades, Chelsea,
Arsenal, Man City, and Man U have a total of six players on the England side while Tottenhamd most often found patrolling the 5th through 7th spots, and Liverpool, who has enjoyed similar
success in the Premier League era, had 5 players each in the national
team.
With the right additions, this
Arsenal team is primed to be a
success this season but that relies on Arsene being brave and splashing the cash to fill the two spots left in his squad.
Wenger was talking to
Arsenal Player about
team spirit and how important it is to the
success of any
team, but he also spoke about how fragile it can be and the need to look after it properly in order not to lose it, like maybe not going around dropping you captain and best defender and abusing the medical staff that the players have a lot of respect for.

Arsenal way», but fails to consider that his record of
success is a million miles away from all the
teams that he claims to emulate.
