In other news, our team seems to
be rounding nicely into form, with a productive off - season and several new additions already settling in, there seems to
be a renewed sense of confidence in the air... our well - oiled machine has conducted
business again early this
year, so we can just sit back, kick our feet up and watch all those other suckers scramble to make panic moves in the 11th hour... of course, we need to tie up a few loose ends but our team of savvy negotiators, under the tutelage of our faithful leader, will perform their usual magic with ample time to spare... I have to laugh when I look around the soccer world and see all those teams look upon us with envy and scorn as they struggle to mimic our seemingly infallible
business model... thank goodness the powers that
be had the foresight and fortitude to resist the temptations of the modern football era... instead of listening to all the experts and simply taking the easy way out by making the necessary improvements on the field and in the front office, we chose the path never traveled... we
are truly pioneers in our field... sometimes you just have to have faith in the people that have always conducted themselves in a respectful and honest fashion... most fans aren't so fortunate, they will never know what it
's like to follow a team that treats everyone in and around the club as if they
were an extended member of the family... all
for one I say... so when you wake up this morning, please try not to gloat when you see rival fans pacing back and forth waiting
for their respective teams to pull the usual panic buys, just say nothing and
be thankful that it isn't you... like I've always said, this
is why you stay the course... this
is when the real benefits of having someone in charge
for over 2 decades really pays off... have a
great day fellow Gunners

be a
great team,
is there anybody out there that can research the numerous other company
's that arsenal have and where all the profits and loses
are, kroenke has made it perfectly clear it
's a
business first and foremost, he has made a huge amount of money from arsenal but he does not want to sell his shares, its only the arsenal fans that can force him nobody else can, so pls stop blaming wenger and get to the root of the problem, KROENKE GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.
Admittedly getting # 40m from PSG
for Luiz
was a
great piece of
business by Jose Mourinho, but the 27 -
year - old has looked good alongside national captain Thiago Silva in Ligue 1.
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...
Guys why
are we comparing arsenal to barca i love arsenal it my club but i must
be realistic barca
is lite
years infront of us look at the champions league last
year no match they have won the champions league twice in the last five
years and the last one with kids just like arsenal so its not about how young players
are because if your good enough your old enough and
am afraid the arsenal youngsters walcott, deneilson, nasri, diaby, bendtner, even the
great vanpercy who all arsenal fans rate who as i mentioned before (Has not scored a free kick in god knows how long) world class right these players so far have not
been good enoughso do nt blame injuries too much do nt blame refs look at the way arsenal do things something
is wrong here
is a prime example eboue joined arsenal in the 2004/2005 season to date now tell me that a long time right would you say he
is a much better player than when he arrived i think no he has improved but only very little and thats the point football
is a short
business at a big club you spend three seasons
for the most and then you must perform.
If that report
is correct, it would
be a
great piece of
business for Newcastle as the 21 -
year - old has already shown himself to
be capable of performing well in the Premier League.
Football
is a brutal
business, and I wouldn't hesitate to bring Diego Simeone in this summer — he has more than proven what a
great coach he
is, has the passion, and
is the right age to take us where we want to go
for the next 10
years.
These would
be great for my
business and cleaning up after my 2
year old.
I started my
business about nine
years ago now and my main consideration before opening the Folksy shop
was that I wanted
greater exposure
for my stock pieces.
Having a full time job outside of Diaper Pin made it difficult
for me to do until this
year — I
was excited to meet these
great talented
business women and
business men that I had corresponded with
for years.
There
's a lot of general talk and buzz about Foursquare — we've discussed it at length on the NMS Blog (At SXSW Last
Year's Next Big Thing
Was This
Years Actual Big Thing) but with Foursquare and Gowalla gaining more traction and
greater acceptance by small and big
businesses, it
's time to start thinking about the 2010 and 2012 election cycles
for geo - social.
The method in which their new Chief Executive has
been appointed
is a poignant example of this problem and a source of a
great deal of the ire of the protestors: elected by 689 votes from a 1,200 - seat committee of
business elites, the three and a half million registered voters of Hong Kong had no say over who should lead them
for the next five
years.
