Not exact matches
If he was then we would have Lacazette,
Wenger wanted him 12
months ago and AFC made a bid of what was
left over from the transfer kitty and AFC failed in that bid, ended up buying a player who
Wenger has never shown any indication he has wanted.
A few
months ago I would have thought it impossible that the Ox would not re-sign and as
Wenger said «It would be a disaster if he
left Arsenal», but now there seems to be a lot more uncertainty.
With Jens Lehmann apparently determined to
leave the Emirates, Arsene
Wenger is in the market to acquire a goalkeeper in this
month's transfer window.
Before last night
Wenger was 25/1 to be next manager to
leave his post, but you only have to go back to the start of the
month for the Frenchman to be priced at 66/1.
RvP
leaves so 12
months after we try for Suraez, yes you can joke about the failed bid but I will point to the board for that, show me another time in
Wengers history that he has failed like that in a transfer?
Gabriel Paulista have already
left the club this
month, and Shkodran Mustafi is being targeted by Serie A sides today, which would
leave our options slim at the back, and Chambers is now clearly a part of Arsene
Wenger's plans.
Speaking on the possibility of Debuchy
leaving next
month,
Wenger said: «It is not impossible that he
leaves.
Wenger has 18
months left (about) and I do not see him being given a new contract unless he wins the treble next year... so yeah, new manager.
So the big news for today's Arsenal team set to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium is that Alexis Sanchez has sensationally been
left out of the team, making it now nearly certain that the rumours of him
leaving are likely to be true if
Wenger can get his replacement in this
month.
The Spaniard has been at Arsenal for just 12
months, but he was
left bitterly frustrated last season due to injuries and a lack of opportunities from Arsene
Wenger.
Efforts to tie down Bacary Sagna to a new deal appear to be stalling and with just
months left to run on his current deal Arsene
Wenger has drawn up a list of potential right - back replacements and Everton's Coleman sits at the top of the pile.
Arsene
Wenger had insisted that none of his players would
leave the club this
month, much like he said last summer prior to accepting an offer from City on deadline day, but he appears to be coming round to the idea of his exit, possibly down to the player's struggles this term along with the recent issues with his teammates.
But, I know the club will act against him next
month and then, FINALLY, we can begin the great catch up, which will however take two or three years to recover from the cancer
WENGER HAS
LEFT BEHIND.
Don't forget though that Giroud was bought before RvP
left and was going to be nothing more than cover and
Wenger has wanted a CF ever since... Well 12
months after losing RvP we bid for Suarez, 12
months after that we had Welbroke bought for us and Arsenal spent more than it ever had in a transfer window period, maybe the club told him he hasn't got anything to spend?
What annoys me more is I swear I read that
Wenger at the time would have been happy to allow RvP to
leave on the free in 12
months time as he felt we would be in a different pos in 12
months time.
12
months after we went for Suarez so... I think there is indications that
Wenger doesn't trust Giroud to be the main man and has wanted since RvP
left to replace RvP and let Giroud be backup.
I believe
Wenger will say that Giroud has proven himself as our first choice striker after the four goals scored in the last two matches of the season, and with Welbeck out for «only» 9
months, we can rely on Walcott (who will sadly not
leave the club) and Akpom
It is this increased enthusiasm against
Wenger staying at Arsenal and the fact that he only has a few
months left on his contract for why many think that the «tide is turning.»
With Arsene
Wenger under pressure and just a few
months left of his Arsenal contract, it is looking more and more likely that he will not renew his contract this summer, so the rumours are rife about who is likely to replace the man who has run the club for the last 20 years.
Wenger continues to divide the fans between whether we think he should stay or go, yet with less than a few
months left to go, the fans still have no real indication as to whether
Wenger will be
leaving.
I like to point at the Nasri transfer as the transfer
Wenger done after Dein had
left and before Gazidis is hired, the one where Nasri signed a new deal with Marseille in May amongst transfer rumors which had ended a lot of them then he signs for AFC in July, less than 1 and a half
months.
Will
Wenger learn from his mistakes, because we really need some quality signings this
month after he
left us so short in the summer.
After just eight
months he'd
leave Italy and rack up at a revitalised Arsenal under revolutionary boss Arsene
Wenger.
So when
Wenger suggested that any transfers into the club, that we have all been waiting expectantly for over the last weeks and
months, are on hold because of the squad size I for one was
left scratching my head.
These days I would have a Prius saving me money every
month which is doing basically the same thing: from A to B.
Wenger will
leave, there's no way around it.
Arsene
Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal will have to do without Olivier Giroud leading the line for around four
months after the Frenchman fractured his
left tibia at the end of the Everton game, but at least the timing of the injury gives the boss a few days to bring in a replacement.
IF a player refuses to train, fine him and stick him with the youth team for 12
months see what wants him then, If I had to choose between
wenger and cesc One is at the top of his game, the other has seen better days Arsenal will be great again when
wenger leaves
Once that was laughed out of the Anfield boardroom fans grew angry toward the Board as it became clear, despite a transfer window lasting 3
months, there was no plan B. Defeat to Aston Villa at home
left Arsene
Wenger for the first time in his career pressured to make a marquee signing.
There is a growing sense that the tenure of Arsene
Wenger as the manager of Arsenal is growing short and whether the Frenchman gets another season and runs down his current contract or
leaves at the end of the current campaign is probably as much down to him as the board and could be determined on what happens on the pitch and on the terraces in the next couple of
months.
LOL.Walcotts been fit for
months mate.Many of you seem to be assuming that hes been
leaving theo on the bench as some smart ploy to make him more hungry.lol.if that was the case
Wenger has let the team suffer to suit his silly games, but i doubt this is the truth.The truth is ever1 needs to wake up an smell the roses, the way things are going Walcott won't start any games an could well
leave in the summer, theres no excuse for playing Ramsey an Wiltshere out of position when we have Walcott on the bench, hes
leaving
Ramsey said a few
months ago that the prospect of playing for Real / Barca in the future was «mouthwatering», but I don't think he'll
leave Arsenal whilst
Wenger is still here.
But with just six
months left on his Arsenal contract,
Wenger is unlikely going to let him spend that time on loan so he really needs to either sign a new contract or be sold quickly.
The 29 year old wing - back has been in abysmal form this term and with Arsene
Wenger opting to sign Nacho Monreal last
month it seemed inevitable that Santos would be
leaving North London.
I certainly think that Arsene
Wenger should think about taking the offer, especially if he is definitely keeping Giroud and planning not to allow Alexis Sanchez to
leave and I think it could be a good move for the speedy but inconsistent player as well because he may not be in for a lot of first team action in the coming
months.
Wenger has been looking at young lb in the last 18
months names like (kurzawa, digne, mings) popped up but according to whoscored.com this young lad has been the best
left black in Europe's top leagues and he is only 20.
Wenger has already taken the club backwards after just over two
months of the season god only knows what mess he will
leave us in if he is allowed another six
months!
Arsene
Wenger has been adamant that the Chilean forward is staying put this summer, despite having let his contract run into it's final 12
months, with the knowledge that he would likely
leave for free next year if he was forced to stay.
Time for some brutal honesty... this team, as it stands, is in no better position to compete next season than they were 12
months ago, minus the fact that some fans have been easily snowed by the acquisition of Lacazette, the free transfer LB and the release of Sanogo... if you look at the facts carefully you will see a team that still has far more questions than answers... to better show what I mean by this statement I will briefly discuss the current state of affairs on a position - by - position basis... in goal we have 4 potential candidates, but in reality we have only 1 option with any real future and somehow he's the only one we have actively tried to get rid of for years because he and his father were a little too involved on social media and he got caught smoking (funny how people still defend Wiltshire under the same and far worse circumstances)... you would think we would want to keep any goaltender that Juventus had interest in, as they seem to have a pretty good history when it comes to that position... as far as the defenders on our current roster there are only a few individuals whom have the skill and / or youth worthy of our time and / or investment, as such we should get rid of anyone who doesn't meet those simple requirements, which means we should get rid of DeBouchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mertz and loan out Chambers to see if last seasons foray with Middlesborough was an anomaly or a prediction of things to come... some fans have lamented wildly about the return of Mertz to the starting lineup due to his FA Cup performance but these sort of pie in the sky meanderings are indicative of what's wrong with this club and it's wishy - washy fan - base... in addition to these moves the club should aggressively pursue the acquisition of dominant and mobile CB to stabilize an all too fragile defensive group that has self - destructed on numerous occasions over the past 5 seasons... moving forward and building on our need to re-establish our once dominant presence throughout the middle of the park we need to target a CDM then do whatever it takes to get that player into the fold without any of the usual nickel and diming we have become famous for (this kind of ruthless haggling has cost us numerous special players and certainly can't help make the player in question feel good about the way their future potential employer feels about them)... in order for us to become dominant again we need to be strong up the middle again from Goalkeeper to CB to DM to ACM to striker, like we did in our most glorious years before and during
Wenger's reign... with this in mind, if we want Ozil to be that dominant attacking midfielder we can't keep
leaving him exposed to constant ridicule about his lack of defensive prowess and provide him with the proper players in the final third... he was never a good defensive player in Real or with the German National squad and they certainly didn't suffer as a result of his presence on the pitch... as for the rest of the midfield the blame falls squarely in the hands of
Wenger and Gazidis, the fact that Ramsey, Ox, Sanchez and even Ozil were allowed to regularly start when none of the aforementioned had more than a year
left under contract is criminal for a club of this size and financial might... the fact that we could find money for Walcott and Xhaka, who weren't even guaranteed starters, means that our whole business model needs a complete overhaul... for me it's time to get rid of some serious deadweight, even if it means selling them below what you believe their market value is just to simply right this ship and change the stagnant culture that currently exists... this means saying goodbye to Wiltshire, Elneny, Carzola, Walcott and Ramsey... everyone, minus Elneny, have spent just as much time on the training table as on the field of play, which would be manageable if they weren't so inconsistent from a performance standpoint (excluding Carzola, who is like the recent version of Rosicky — too bad, both will be deeply missed)... in their places we need to bring in some proven performers with no history of injuries... up front, although I do like the possibilities that a player like Lacazette presents, the fact that we had to wait so many years to acquire some true quality at the striker position falls once again squarely at the feet of
Wenger... this issue highlights the ultimate scam being perpetrated by this club since the arrival of Kroenke: pretend your a small market club when it comes to making purchases but milk your fans like a big market club when it comes to ticket prices and merchandising... I believe the reason why
Wenger hasn't pursued someone of Henry's quality, minus a fairly inexpensive RVP, was that he knew that they would demand players of a similar ilk to be brought on board and that wasn't possible when the business model was that of a «selling» club... does it really make sense that we could only make a cheeky bid for Suarez, or that we couldn't get Higuain over the line when he was being offered up for half the price he eventually went to Juve for, or that we've only paid any interest to strikers who were clearly not going to press their current teams to let them go to Arsenal like Benzema or Cavani... just part of the facade that finally came crashing down when Sanchez finally called their bluff... the fact remains that no one wants to win more than Sanchez, including
Wenger, and although I don't agree with everything that he has done off the field, I would much rather have Alexis front and center than a manager who has clearly bought into the Kroenke model in large part due to the fact that his enormous ego suggests that only he could accomplish great things without breaking the bank... unfortunately that isn't possible anymore as the game has changed quite dramatically in the last 15 years, which has
left a largely complacent and complicit
Wenger on the outside looking in... so don't blame those players who demanded more and were
left wanting... don't blame those fans who have tried desperately to raise awareness for several years when cracks began to appear... place the blame at the feet of those who were well aware all along of the potential pitfalls of just such a plan but continued to follow it even when it was no longer a financial necessity, like it ever really was...
We could certainly do with improving on our
left - back role, and maybe a central midfielder this window, but
Wenger has already stated that he doesn't expect anybody to join us this
month.
There has been much speculation regarding the future of
Wenger in recent
months, with many fans even moving to protest that he
leave, as well as flying a banner over the stadium during their recent loss to West Brom.
I said this a few
months ago,
WENGER ADAPT OR
LEAVE, how deluded i was, this IS a f *** ng 600 year old man, this is exactly the same to expect your 70 grandma to start using cellphones computers social networks, IT WO N'T HAPPEN because old people is extremely STUBBORN.
The German international Lukas Podolski probably didn't take kindly to the statement from his Arsenal manager yesterday when
Wenger tried to play down any chance of the 29 year - old
leaving the Emirates this
month, especially since the Inter manager Roberto Mancini revealed that the Italian Giants were taking an interest.
He can
leave for 18
months, come back and
Wenger will have Arsenal on a solid financial footing.
But
Wenger also spoke about the Alexis Sanchez situation, and unless the Boss is telling porkies it looks like the Chilean will not be
leaving this
month, as Le Prof is still harbouring hopes that Alexis will sign a new contract before June.
Though we messed up his contract so that he has only
months left and is therefore of little - or any - financial sale value, we are, thanks to stupid
Wenger, where we are and the new manager will not want an almost permanent sicknote player on his staff.
Wenger wanted Lacazette last time and we bid around # 30mil for him, all that
Wenger had
left to spend in the transfer window and it was rejected, WTF was Gazidis doing by not supporting the manager and finding the extra # 10 million or so 12
months ago for a top CF?
Han, 18, is spending this season on loan at Perugia, with the North - Korean star hitting a hat - trick against Serie B side Entella last
month as per the Sun, with both Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger and Toffees boss Ronald Koeman sending scouts to spy on the teenage sensation, who still have 5 years
left on his current deal with Italian side Cagliari.
Are we mad, can nobody sitting on the arsenal board see we as a club are in decline, prices for players are going up up up, surely it would be wise to invest on 3/4 players now before
wenger leaves the club and keep our good players, in 18
months time I can see defenders going for a hundred million, midfielders for hundred and fifty, and strikers for 200 million, in the long term it will cost arsenal more for players, fans will stop going to games which is evident now, and season ticket holders will not renew.
RVP
left because he could get more money elsewhere and
Wenger let him go because he had less than a year
left on his contract and 25 million now is better than 0 nine
months later.
In a way I can understand his point of view as he has been
left on the sidelines by
Wenger many times over the last few years, and has only now got his chance due to the injuries sustained by Mikel Arteta and Matthieu Flamini, and of course Jack Wilshere, who is due to return next
month.
