Now the French international has spoken
to Mercato Foot
about the ongoing rumours, and he has clearly stated that he would prefer not
to go back
to France
to continue his career, but wants
to play for one of the «
biggest clubs in England».
He's talking
about Arsenal
going into the transfer market, and then put Arsenal along with Bayern, Madrid, Barca and said it's only natural for
big clubs like this
to bring in more players.
I think its time arsenal finally sort out this issue
about Sanchez contract.if he wants
to leave, then sell him and stop getting us all confused.if he is staying.fine.no player is
bigger than the
club itself.soldier
go, soldier come.barack still remain
Our player of the season so far?Certainly the most consistent.JACK AND OZIL CONTRACTS - just get them signed up for F *** S SAKE.Jack doesn't want
to go anywhere and Ozil will have his choice of
big clubs to choose from if allowed
to be able
to go on a free.How
about giving out a statement of our ambitions (yeah right) and show were prepared
to pay whatever it takes (up
to the point of being ridiculous)
to SIGN the best and KEEP the best» These two are the best we have so get them sorted early
to send out a message of how serious we intend
to be.AUBAMEYANG - So what if he has a contract.So did Sanchez.Offer the right money
to Dortmund and the player and he will be ours.What is there
to question over this deal?He is a proven goalscorer.We have just lost one.Get the deal done.GIROUD - Get rid of him
to Dortmund if they want him either by selling or if it sweetens the deal just loan him till the end of the season.He was a back up when Sanchez was here and will be on the mix of back ups if Auba signs.He has a World Cup squad
to fight for just
to be considered so needs
to be playing every week.We do not need him if Auba signs and would demand better than him if the deal fails
to happen.Just get rid.JONNY EVANS - I'm not sure.Agree Kos needs nursing through games and we do not have consistent performers
to come in if he is injured or rested mainly due
to both Chambers and Holdimg not progressing through as much as we first thought and hoped for.Gooners have always been patient and supportive of the youngsters as they have come through but question marks
to the whole coaching staff as
to why these two seem
to have stalled as much as they have done.Steve Bould - What do you do?You should be ashamed.
Kroenke knows nothing
about football therefore has no regard for the game, the players or the nonce
to know when
to change a manager let alone who would be an asset at taking the
club forward and
to where it needs
to go to compete with the
Big Boys in the league or Europe for that matter.
I personally believe that Wenger didn't push
to have the contracts of Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Ox renewed earlier because he was
going to use it as leverage when renegotiating his own deal... so far that tactic has backfired as we know little more
about this squad moving forward than we did in May and Wenger clearly misjudged just how important his staying would be
to both Sanchez and Ox... I like Lacazette, but I liked him a lot more 2 years ago at 20 million less... Sead might come good but once again he wasn't a necessity buy, except that he was a free transfer and was signed early... another «wag the dog» tactic employed by the powers that be... as for the rest of the roster, very little has changed, except that it's way too
big and lacks the cutting edge
to take this
club to new heights.
Can someone name any Arsenal player who
went into another team and looked irreplaceable?Just look at how Arsenal fans are hyping this guy.I won't blame you people though.People are even saying we need up
to three players
to replace him.I guess it will take
about seven
to eight
to replace Messi or Ronaldo then.We've become so bad it's almost as if we've lost our
big club mentality and way of thinking.We are behaving like the smaller teams.
As much as I would like
to hate your comment above I have
to agree with what you've said here I know there are a hardcore of bloggers on here that will be derisory and downright insulting (Keyboard warriors are always really tough) but unless we have the two new additions we need then we will sadly be another fourth spot contender again, its as simple as that the current squad is nearly there but nearly there is not THERE and I hate
to say it but I think its gonna be another case of Wenger stubbornly trying
to convince the world he is a genius by winning things without spending much OR by lamenting the injury problems and bad refs and being desultory
about big oil funded
clubs while the
Club we love turns a fat profit for the board and we see no silverware at all.
Although I've found it very cathartic
to speak, vent and end occasionally rant
about all things Arsenal, we need
to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're
going to get played by this
club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion of the season ticket holders, don't want
to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are
going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want
to have a front row seat
to see something special and
to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested...
to many of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack of balls makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed
to embolden those who already felt pretty highly of themselves... many might not even of really liked football that much before his arrival and rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he
goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill
to swallow... they would have
to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever made them feel this way, but of course it will be too late by then... so when we
go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering of anarchy, it scares the shit out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is out of utter frustration... in order for any real change
to occur at this
club we need
to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the
big money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time
to focus on the head instead of the heart for now
i think this could officially be the start of the end for wenger his blind arrogance has cause him
to buy welbeck in the sheer belief that AGAINST THE ODDS HE CAN BEAT THE REST OF THE
BIG 4 WITH ONE ARM BEHIND HIS BACK we should be buying top top top european c / l standard players not sunderland spuds everton standard players thats
about welbecks standard of
club in all truthful reality he is an honest hard working player but wenger thinks he can coach the mediocrity out of him he is truely insane its a guaranteed source of goals we need not more fancy hold up play and «pace» and missing chance after chance so the postman is
to be joined by the manchester metro tram absolute disgrace he has kidded on ozil and sanchez they must be wondering what is
going on atm they are seeing the true wenger now just panicking and not panicking very well
to that effect and for some reason wenger has
gone all kinky for english players for some strange reason at least chambers has great potential welbeck has past that stage and is a seasoned pro now and he is no where near what we need wenger is trying
to show how great he is by whiping the back out of the same players week after week in the vain hope that he can win the league without rotating ever and they will get injured and he wont have learned his lesson and we will pay for it in the end best last day transfer would have been a 4 year contract for klopp
i have been reading online all
about the other
clubs whinging
about the price of there tickets
going up, but if you want
to progress as a
club and build a
bigger stadium, and barrow money
to do it.
Funny thing
about Dortmund transfer policy was, they willing
to let player
gone to big rival (Muenchen) for free (during expired contract situation) instead of sold him at reasonable price
to align
clubs.
Defeat today again might be a very good thing
to happen even in Europa cup wenger needs
to go if we really serious
about being a
bigger club again — and reality starting
to catch up with him he has been hiding behind philosophy for so long now is out of excuses we brought in football people (Sanlehi, Sven and now we need a new manager who will be working with those guys and share ideas not a single person who kept mediocrity players for years and pay them for nothing and bring in one or two players and send them out on loan
he can never see past his
big nose when it concerns arsenal, he is now at the point of embarassing our great
club each time he decides
to open his dried up mouth.perhaps heis suffering from a loss of memory when he talks
about other teams wasting time, be
gone with you wenger.
Walking out on a cup final early is poor saying the things after is poor we have had the most consistancy of any pl
club for 20 years it
goes bad we lose and we show no honor in defeat i never mentioned wenger i mentioned the lack of support in a cup final was sad and by walking out it showed we've been spoiled city did nt leave the semi early last year when we beat em they did nt leave early wehen they lost in league one and i cant stand city im arsenal through and through we won a cup last year and the year before were in another cup final and tempemental fans leave early even though it takes alot
to get
to a cup final maybe you need
to lose more
to lose respectable its hard it sucks but its a cup final
bigger than the management our opinions for a day its
about how you show you solidarity as a
club win or lose every other
club in england would of taken our spot in a heartbeat if they could of and we lea e early that shows spoilage and it was embarrassing
to see we need
to be stronger as supporters newcastle does nt like ashley yet they still show up and when was the last time they won a cup?
Buying morgan would complete our midfield if anything we might have
to get rid of one or two like flamini and arteta also these stories
about kos the boss
going madrid are fake as I just think ramos wants I pay rise and why leave the
biggest club in the world
After the Man City match Arsene Wenger spoke
about consistency and momentum among other things and he used the imagery of the railway
to say that Arsenal were on the right train
going in the right direction, having solved a lot of key issues like games against other
big clubs and defensive solidity.
«Until now, everything has
gone well with Leipzig, therefore I don't think
about what could happen in one, two or three years, but of course I what
to play for a
big club at some point,» he said.
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...
After what Sanches said
about «he wants champions league footbal next season» that's defenaitly saying he wants
to leave and just put the price up of every player we are after and worst deferred from joining us, he should of kept his mouth shut until we finished our deal, so let's do what
clubs like Man - U do with players, don't sell him
to rivals teams let them train with youth team, players are becoming
bigger then
clubs they need reminding who pays their wages, if you want
to leave do it like a gentelman and not some ungrateful shi7 no one is against you if you
go to Bayern who have more chance of wining the CL then City any day of the week
Xhaka was a
big money name
to move
to the
club this summer and although he has mixed reviews
about him so far, I'm sure that he's
going to be a real dominant character for the
club.
Anyone who listened
to Varane speak
about his future and his willingness

Not as many with you as you would probably wished for
to be honest.Why would I and the overwhelming majority suddenly
go soft on the single
biggest issue that has cast itself on this
club over the last 5 - 6 seasons?You May well be fed up reading
about it but more want him out at whatever cost.
We now realise that the «Self - sustaining» model was actually
about providing on -
going big - money for the board members, getting their fat dividend payments from the super-profitable cash - cow that is AFC, and nothing
to do with winning trophies or competing with
clubs like Barcelona, Real, Bayern, Chelsea, Man U, Man C, PSG, etc..
I know that a lot of Arsenal fans and other people who follow football will be quick
to say that our France international star is not
going to be completely objective
about Kylian Mbappe and the transfer rumours linking him with Arsenal among a host of other
big clubs, because the arrival of this highly rated young striker would surely make it harder for the
big man
to get a game for the Gunners next season.
As the winter transfer window ended with a bit of a whimper in England, a lot of the reports in the football media were
about the
big money deals for players
going to play in China and Arsene Wenger last week warned that the amount of money in their Super League could soon be causing problems for the Premier League
clubs.
* as soon as player suffers injury
big clubs do not
go looking
to sell (think sturridge) for if they did then a word would circulate
about what the
club does and decent players would no longer wish
to come.
I agree
go all the way just
to send a massage
to all players that we are in the business of wining, i don't think Sanchez would of come
to us if Ozil wasn't with us, not because of his ability its
about his stature, Arsenals chase for Mbappe is sending shock waves
to the footballing world its been ages since Arsenal was taken seriously as a
big club for a long time
Godswill, it's not
about what you've won last year or what you're
going to win next year, what constitutes a
big club is tradition and can take 100 years.
I will assume that since we can not usually compete with
bigger clubs, Hummels might
go to Man United or else... As for Arteta (who is clearly finished and just a number in the squad... Would you believe is Arsenal captain... We have
gone down
to mediocrity as an art form), it seems that Wenger has definitely change his views
about signing over 30's players... The hypocrite arrogant c*nt!!
It would be fantastic news for Arsenal fans if the theory
about our two
big stars and contract rebels possibly signing new deals
to stay in north London beyond the period of their current contracts, especially if in order
to get the best possible deals from the
club the attacking pair are
going to keep putting in performances of desire and skill like they showed in the north London derby win over Tottenham this weekend.
It is rather unfortunate that us fans suffer from not winning any major trophy over the years.What Leicester did was just one off, it will not happen for the next few decades.Football is all
about investment,
to win u have
to invest well with some luck.Everton did look at where they are now.We are not at the level of Real, Barca Manu u name them.The
big clubs invest heavily and still get some return on their investment.Arsenal will not spend like city or chelsea or PSG.We will
go down like Leeds.Let us be honest with ourselves, if u were the owner of this
club u will never sack Wenger.He brings u lot of money year in year out.
Heckingbottom left this
club for a
bigger job at Leeds, and
to lose against his old team would be a pretty stark statement
about how Heckingbottom's time at Leeds has been
going.
Gunfest, Being the 6th richest
club in the woeld and having great tradition and history means nothing if you do nt uphold or practice these values and at leastvTRY
to show the AMBITION that falls into line with where Arsenal should be, I know we both know how our season will
go but your statement
about us being too
big or financially dwarfing other
clubs has applied every season for the past eight and weve still had cup exits against Bradfords, Blackburns, league home defeats vs wigan and hull, etc, etc..
about time, something is amiss, especially when we have the likes of Walcott now qualifying for the Fran.Jeffers Award for non-playing I do wish M Grenouille would put an end
to all the press speculation on transfers, it is obvious
to me he needs a
BIG striker and a
BIG centre in order
to compete on the on the search for Tin Mugs I get a bit pissed off when i read «Le Rouge Hareng»
about all the various «
goings on», it's time M.Grenouille spilled a few beans and helped our nerves, we are, after all, what makes the
Club survive Regards

It was a
big step
to take at that time but my family and girlfriend supported me a lot.I felt happy and flattered
about Arsenal's interest, and I left Spain
to go and win titles with them, which I achieved — but it was a
big leap.I have
to say that everybody was very, very helpful, and not just the players and the staff at the
Club.
Absolutely, I remain positive
about the season ahead but I don't see us in the top 4 and I reckon we'll see a lot of departures next summer as our current crop of good players decide
to go to a
big club and play CL football.
«It's true, there are many options and we are talking

The separate issue which I won't talk on today was how the whole «we don't sell our players and more» and «we're
going to compete for the
big names» after the Alexis and Ozil signings that we got the impression from the
club on is clearly
about as real as my solid platinum flying tractor that I glide
to work on every morning.
@jimbo you are the
biggest fool ever come across afcb.how can you spill that rubbish
about wenger, the man kept our
club going for years, he single handly build emilate and training ground for us and still kept us strong financially.@kel u are the second fool who refuse
to reason with his head not the eyes.wenger was the first choice for madrid before the likes morinho and others.our financial statue comes first before trophies we don't wish
to see our dear
club begging for loan
to sort out player's wages like barca is now doing or asking for a new buyer
to rescue us from financial mess.
King, currently with Wales at their Brittany base, said: «I wasn't surprised when I heard

@ larryking listen jock wenger could never coach anyother
club because no
big club would
go six season without a trophy there is no way wenger could
go to madrid and
go two season without a trophy no way in hell he would be fired in no time bmunich fired klinsman less than half season look at the real madrid coach grave yard pelligrinie made 95 + points last season that amount would win the league in almost any country yet he got fired i can
go on if fergi
goes two seasons without a trophy am sure he
gone i love arsenal but football is
about winning trophies wenger has hypnotize you i do nt care arsenal have
gone five years without a trophy and six witout the league not even a carling cup or fa cup and loosing all our best players all for money all this talk
about wenger and his youth policies i can count on both hands all the players that came through arsenal youth system that
went on
to be world beaters look at the current crop walcott nasri diaby denilson bedtner clichy none of these are world class they have improve minimal @ arsenal compare that
to barca their youths pedro and co are world beaters event the great vanpercy who we rate he would never leave arsenal because all that chance wenger gives him he would» t get at other
big clubs this does not make sense we buy young players they take ages
to develop most do nt» t then we sell them or they leave because they want
to win things that how you grow pretty soon that top four will become very hard
to stay in if we get out of that then what i wish all you wenger fans luck am all out of patients with him last chance this year................
He seems
