And Podolski could fit both of those descriptions if
Wenger keeps him at the club after the January transfer window and does not use him.
Not exact matches
I understand your premise but we must realise that for years
Wenger was confined by financial constraints, and I honestly don't think many other managers could have
kept the
club in the champions league, look
at Liverpool and Man United, even with there inflated budgets they failed to achieve a top four finish in recent years.
The fact is that
Wenger did manage to realise
at least some of those hopes by
keeping the
club among the European elite by qualifying for the Champions League group stage every year without fail.
Wenger revealed that Coquelin having come through the academy system, spending nearly seven years as a Gunner and having the
club at his heart was a major reason for
keeping patience and hoping that things would click for the young player.

I think Parlour is probably right about the
club's decision to
keep Wenger in charge for
at least one more year but I do not think that should make the unhappy fans not voice their anger.
Sky Sports, say he has while his agent also says he has, yet
at that time Arsene
Wenger had denied the reports (see the Coquelin report above) that he has offered him a one year extension to
keep him
at the
club past this season.
I assume
Wenger took advise from him regarding who he
kept at the
club and who left.
I think
Wenger would have
kept Giroud and Walcott for ever, and signed lots more «Promising» players without intervention from the
club (
At last!).
I even thought top
clubs were in for him.Some three or 2 seasons back many here were debating why he should be our main striker.As soon as you mention any other strikers name people would come out with stats and many things defending him.Even
Wenger has defended him blindly in the past.People say
Wenger's stubborn yeah.But don't we know that there's a reason why everything happens?Honestly speaking he's the reason why Arsene
Wenger has failed to sign a top notch striker because he still believes in him.The funny thing is we signed Welbeck
at that time who to me did nothing before to be the main man here.People
keep saying Welbeck is hardworking and that he works his socks off.But the question is was that our reason for signing him.Welbeck being signed to challenge Giroud tells me a lot about Giroud's quality.Even Walcott (no offence to him) who has zero CF qualities was even chosen over him for a string of games and all in all I think he did well but has too many defeciencies for that role.We've compromised as a
club and it'll come back to bite us.
And it is for that reason that the north London
club's vastly experienced manager Arsene
Wenger is more than likely to try to
keep a close eye on Barkely
at all times of this clash, so much so that do not be surprised to see the home team's former France international close to the attacking starlet every time he picks up possession of the ball.
For one thing,
Wenger seems to have a different mentality going on
at the
club right now and he seems determined to
keep the lads on their toes.
The full - back's current deal with the Gunners expires
at the end of the season, and despite Arsene
Wenger initiating talks to
keep him
at the
club, negotiations now appear to be dead in the water.
So Ivan then goes and signs Raul as Director of Football (but in a different title) following the appointment of Sven M.I give my total respect to Ivan.He knows the structure of the
club needed a complete change so as to begin the road of recovery and he
kept his word.He was outwardly challenging
Wenger and he delivered what he said he would do.There is still more to change but that will be so much easier to do
Wenger is removed
at the end of the week (in my dreams I'm afraid) but nobody can doubt the intentions Ivan has for change and he must be respected for this
Can anyone name another highly regarded manager who would have stuck
at a top
club with no hope of winning anything for
at least 6 - 7 years, let alone managed to
keep us in the Champions League while selling their best players off to rivals The truth is we have ridden out the worst of it, but are still playing catchup to this day - and we should be very grateful to Arsene
Wenger.
Also
Wenger keeps talking about
keeping Joel
at the
club when questioned on it, well where is he?
I'm glad that
Wenger has done something right by
keeping him
at the
club??
As well as needing to
keep the team fresh after three tough games in a week,
Wenger will not be blind to the «former
club» factor that will have Welbeck desperate to impress
at the
club he joined as an 11 year old and who never truly believed in him.
It would ultimately end
Wenger's fantastic record of qualifying for the Champions League in every season that he has been in charge — something that some fans would argue has
kept him in a job
at Arsenal in recent years — and while it may be caused by a technicality, it would add more fuel to the fire of suggestion that
Wenger's time
at the
club is finished.
I was equally annoyed
at Wenger but it was just straight disrespectful that a player
Wenger brought in
at 21
kept even though injury prone, which no other top four
club would have done, developed into a world class striker and then goes to our biggest rival citing the fact its an honour to work with ferguson and we weren't showing ambition.
Wenger's glory means 4th place, CL money for Kroenke, out of CL in the first knock out phase,
keeping players more than 10 years
at the
club and 8 mil / year no pressure.
I don't think
Wenger was going to play Walcott
at CF but did this to
keep Walcott
at the
club.
Okay, so
Wenger has been
keeping himself busy, by looking
at all the other
clubs signed cheques?
He will never achieve his full potential with
wenger, so it will not be fair to
keep him
at the
club where his destiny will only be lose.
Some Arsenal fans have not been happy with the
club for
keeping Arsene
Wenger as our manager for some time now and even though the pressure may have been taken off the Frenchman by the team ending the long trophy drought and then backing it up with back to back FA cup wins
at Wembley, the failure so far this season to take advantage of the struggles of the Premier League big boys has brought it all back with a bang.
mates its time we say hard truths and stand by them.we want arsenal to win the title not arsen so spending is not an issue.this season we hve seen how our squad is of average quality only three or four world class players.is
wenger the man to take us the next level.someone who drops joel and picks Walcott who is currently playing like an amateur.our midfield is shocking we
keep passing the ball backwards till we concede is when we st art shifting gears.we need more urgency from both the players and manager.play the same way everyweek and expect a win.its time arsenal moves on we need new man
at the helm to lead the
club.
Wenger is the problem... last Season he had Lucas Perez and Joel Campbell
at the
club and when they played they performed but
Wenger kept playing Walcott, Giroud, Welbeck, Iwobi....
Anyone blaming Sanchez has a short memory, what is happening now
at Arsenal isn't new.It has happened before with the likes of rvp, fab and nasri.It is a culture created and nurtured by
Wenger whereby anyone who dares question him is vilified and hounded out of the
club while the yes men are guaranteed a starting spot despite poor form week in week out.Players who actually merit being in the first eleven are
kept out by under par players who have nothing to show for their guaranteed 90 mins every game.Guys like Podolski and Campbell were pushed out in favor of sanogo and akpom.Perez will be next to go because Iwobi is
Wenger's new love child.it's quite clear that for you to have long career
at Arsenal, never question
Wenger and as one pundit put it....»
We may never know the ins and outs of what happene3d between Claudio Ranieri and the other staff and players
at Leicester City, but Arsenal fans are as keen to know as anyone, and probably more so because of the issues that many fans have with the
club and it's continued willingness to
keep our own manager Arsene
Wenger despite what is seen as the same old problems hurting our hopes of major trophy success year after year.
I view Sir Keswick statement on the debate of Le Prof leaving Arsenal
at the end of this season as a conditional statement to appease the
Wenger Out Arsenal fans to be calm as the Arsenal board who for his prudent financial management skill in managing the
club finances doesn't want him to go now to try to buy time for him to use Arsenal success of a win of the FA Cup and a 4th place table finish this season as a ploy to convince the
Wenger Out Arsenal fans he can still be
kept at the
club as manager for another 2 — 3 years to achieve the titles they've been craving after in the next 2 — 3 season..
Arsene
Wenger, Arsenal fans and anyone connected with the
club would have been hoping for Everton to take something from the Merseyside derby yesterday and for Burnley to
keep Turf Moor as the home fortress it has been all season, but unfortunately for us and our chances of finishing in the top four, Liverpool won
at a canter and Tottenham did the same despite missing their top scorer Harry Kane.
man united had physical and versatile players vidic evra ferdinand rooney welbeck were one of a huge bunch of physical players who were key
at arsenal our only versatile / physical players are chambers kos welbz and sanchez
at an extent.The only way to beat arsenal is to
keep committing fouls its not down to whatever you guys might think.So my plea to
wenger is not to be too smart as to think we are bayern or barcelona but to borrow a leaf from englands most successful
clubs of the decade and he wil also be succesful
My personal thought is that
Wenger has given up on persuading the Turkish
club to increase their derisory offer and has decided to
keep him
at the Emirates.
We are
at a point where something has to change and that is almost certainly the manager, much as it pains me to say it,
wenger has done such a good job for the
club, building a new stadium and
keeping us in the top four.
talk about skewing the stats to fit your own conclusions... this is like a slap in the face to every real Arsenal fan... have you no shame, have you no dignity, have you no sense of right from wrong... if you think everything was so well orchestrated why is everyone and their brother laughing
at the way in which we conduct business both on and off the field... either you're a paid hack or a delusional buffoon... regardless you can't be a genuine Arsenal fan because the difficulties facing this
club having been going on for years and this latest episode in our pathetic recent history is but a glaring reminder of how far we have fallen... I'm not going to waste my time discrediting every single ridiculous statement you made in your love letter to
Wenger, but if you write another article I will gladly expose you for the fraud you truly are... this
club is in desperate need of a serious cleansing and for you to try and package this dog and pony show as a well - oiled machine is a direct insult to anyone who has supported this team during the supposed «lean» years... the deceptive and disrespectful manner in which this organization has treated it's fans is an abomination to supporters everywhere and for you to even try to justify their actions is akin to saying just shut - up and
keep filling our pockets... so please crawl back under whatever stone you crawled out from under and think carefully before you spew this type of propaganda ever again
Wenger has never had any offer from any other
club or country during all his time
at Arsenal > he
kept spreading these rumors every summer that he was wanted m by Real Madrid m He was wanted by Barcelona, he was wanted by France National Team and now by PSG just to allow the Arsenal board an excuse either to increase his pay or extend his contract.
contract to
keep him
at the
club for the next three seasons, but did
Wenger have to promise him that he would still be his first - choice centre - forward this season?
Arsene
Wenger is into the final year of his contract
at present, and has talked up the possibility of leaving when his deal ends, but he has always stated that he would stay as long as the
club felt the need to
keep him, and there is always the chance of an extension.
sanchez i cant see staying
at a
club with no ambition sadly, we should just stump up the cash and get it signed, if he goes to city then its yet another example of
wengers inability to
keep talent on whilst supporting high wages for medical bills.
no Arteta is not a superb anchor man, hes mediocre all round, every time we play Chelsea an Arteta plays i can see the fear in his face b4 the match, cos he knows physicaly an technically he comes up short.An the fact that the top people
at the
club were so eager to
keep him is very worrying, an just reaffirms my long held opinion, that we can't win a major trophy under
Wenger
Well said... Sadly the excuses will
keep coming along with a stubborn refusal by many fans to acknowledge that
wenger is unable to adapt to a changed football environment... The man said he would stay
at the
club as long as he was moving it forward so if he has any integrity and honesty he would leave of his own accord... sadly all we will get is more existential drivel to justify his failure... Sad state of the
club
With Arsenal showing a new defensive solidity to add to the great attacking flair and ability to
keep the ball and create chances, and perhaps looking for a new
club captain
at the same time, as the current man with the armband Mikel Arteta is getting old and not playing much, you might think that the current vice captain Per Mertesacker would be the player to get the nod from Arsene
Wenger.
I wanted
wenger gone z5 years ago when it was clear he would not deliver but surely there is no doubting He has demolished this team over last 3 years... no passion no style and obvious lack of quality... There is simply no way a serious
club can
keep a man like this
at the top... Chances are this will spell melt down in league to... But whatever happens it will be a worse season than last... I for one will not be sad to see the back of him
Waiting for the summer and then assuming
Wenger would «spend spend spend» is a massive assumption
at this point lets not forget that the other
clubs with more money are just as likely to buy players we are looking
at just to
keep them out of out team, and they will spend the asking price where as
Wenger will quibble.
Arsene
Wenger baffles everyone else except me with his so called wise word and
keeps you all wanting for more, hence his longevity
at a
club which in all honesty should have long sacked him!
there is no doubting that Arsene has helped to provide us with some incredible footballing moments in the formative years of his managerial career
at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right to decide when and how he should leave this
club... there have been numerous managers
at each of the biggest
clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy of their respective
clubs... of course that doesn't mean that
clubs should simply follow the lead of others, especially if
clubs of note have become too reactionary when it comes to issues of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes to the setting of parameters for a changing of the guard... in the case of Arsenal, this sort of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve of our move to the Emirates... by giving
Wenger a free pass due to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me of a landlord who says he will only rent to «professional people» to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability than
keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans of a football
club it's not so easy to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer than them... so how does one deal with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the best, do you place the best interests of those with only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up with them, do you run away with your tail between your legs and only return when things have ultimately changed, do you
keep trying to find silver linings to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state of Denmark
Only
Wenger himself knows what mind games he's playing
at the moment, but even a fool can tell you that there's more harm done than good by
keeping hold of a player who doesn't want to remain
at the
club.
The world also knows that Arsenal under
Wenger are a selling
club - unwilling to ever pay really top level players enough to
keep them
at the
club.
Looks like Stan likes to kill animals ah wat money does to people they just get bored and cum up with stupid tv prog go kill animals makes me mad and sad and to think our
club is ran by this man no wonder we are we're we are besides putting cash into tv, Stan get ur cash and give ozil and Sanchez and ox the money they want if doesn't do it go get bale that's wat real owner does and if Sanchez refuses da offer get the guys killing animals on ur programme to go hunting Sanchez sick being put down like how are spurs ahead of us there building now we're passed that we should be in champions league semis
at least I don't no if it's
wenger or da owner but
at Highbury when mr drink was around we had 13 world class players and Highbury now emirates we have maybe 3 or 4 or 5 tops, world class players and guess wat we can't even
keep them oh my dear friends it don't feel rite I find myself losing my arsenal my life I can not believe spurs are above us and how we use tear them to shreds our kids use ta, who cares if Sanchez goes we will not win da league with Stan there he just wants pump cash in to shooting poor animals well to me ur the animal and ur taking a sleeping giant in to the jungle?
Same can be said the other way round wen all the aob just sit and slate everything about our
club and we ask them what's the answer to make things better they haven't got an answer and just split out rubbish like lets get rid of everyone like I've said ive seen my
club in much worse position then this in fact 20 years ago this season we finished 10th in the league I know your comment is directed
at me so wen you can tell me you seen arsenal finish in 10th below the spuds then I might start thinking that our
club is in the sh # t like most of you spoilt brats think and then you can come to me and start calling me deluded for
keeping my faith in
wenger for everything he's done for our
club COYG in
wenger I trust
