it is the best chance we have had for many years and we did not take it, for me that only confirms that wenger and do the job he is being paid
to do, they are wingers players all of them and he can't motivate them, there are still
to many players walking around that are getting paid silly wages that should not be at the
club, everyone can see it but wenger, so for me he should go
followed by a good few players, get in a new hungary manger and let him
bring in some new blood, we can't do much worse than what we have done last few years, before people say we get into europe each year you are right but realistically do stand any chance of winning europe?

nice
to see you crawl out of your hole just in time
to offer your 2 cents worth once again... unlike yourself I started
following this team long before Wenger arrived on the scene and will continue
to do so long after he's gone... in his earlier years I admired the cerebral elements he
brought to the EPL, which at that point was more brutish than beautiful, and I respected the seemingly tireless efforts of Arsene, Dein & staff
to uncover and develop talent without sacrificing the product on the field... likewise I appreciated that such a youthful manager wasn't afraid
to bring strong personalities and / or world - class players into the fold without being fearful of how said players would potentially undermine and / or dilute his authority... unfortunately this all changed about 10 years ago and culminated in the removal of all our greatest players, both young and old, without any real replacements coming in... from Henry
to RVP
to Fabergas and Nasri, it was easy
to see that this
club was no longer interested in competing at the highest levels... instead of being honest, minus the ridiculous claims regarding the new stadium, Wenger chose
to side with management and in doing so became the «front man» for this corporation pretending
to be a world - class soccer
club... without the «front man» this organization would have been exposed numerous years earlier, so his presence was imperative if the facade was
to continue... it's for this reason and more that I despise what this once great man and Kroenke has done
to my beloved
club... the gutless, shameful and manipulative way they have treated the fans, like myself, is largely indefensible and this is why I felt it necessary
to start offering my opinion in a public format... trust me, I resisted the temptation for many years but as long as the same shit continues
to exist I will voice my opinions and if you don't like it maybe you should look for a different team
to pretend
to follow
Chelsea
brought him
to the Premier League the
following year after beating a host of
clubs to his signature, including Arsenal.
As well as
bringing in big names such as Roberto Soldado, Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen, Spurs were linked with a move for a new left - back,
following the decision
to allow Benoit Assou - Ekotto
to leave the
club on loan.
In recent seasons a number of young stars
brought in by Chelsea have failed
to secure a decent run of first team action and Baba Rahman will have
to avoid
following suit if he is
to secure a future at the West London
club.
Sooner or later, however, decisions on the England international's future will have
to be made and that has been
brought into the light a bit this week with the Daily Star reporting that other
clubs are already starting
to follow Wilshere's situation and the Serie A
club AC Milan are already thinking about making a move for him in the transfer market.
Id love
to know the answer
to the
following questions but I doubt very seriously if I ever will 1) What does Stan Kroenke
bring to the
club?
Writing on the official
club website, the striker closed his career with the
following words: «It is with great sadness that I
bring my career
to an end in this way,» he began, «it's a very difficult moment, but football has still
brought me great moments of joy.
Arsenal
brought in Henrikh Mkhitaryan last month as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez, and the Armenian international has already impressed, notching up a hat - trick of assists in his full debut, and it remains
to be seen whether our
club will
follow up their winter interest in Malcolm and make a new offer come the summer.
Muff
brought up something similar
to one of them a while back, when he replied how even if relegation, I would still have
to follow and watch my
club because it is in my blood, have no other choice.
A striker and attacking option being
brought into the side may well open the door for Alexis Sanchez
to quit the
club, which looks extremely likely
following his comments whilst on international duty with Chile this week, and his exit will surely
bring in money which will be spent on other areas.
I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade
brought some much - needed attention
to the matter, it failed
to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially
to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was
to follow... but I get it, few wanted
to turn on their
club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you
to keep your thoughts
to yourself... who are you
to tell these fat cats how
to steal your money... they have worked long and hard
to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as
to pay enormous sums of cash
to your once beloved professor
to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the
club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively small fringe group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the
club hierarchy
to claim victory
following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened
to this
club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this
club needs
to be changed and that starts at the top... in order
to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this
club we need
to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get back
to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have
to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed
to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of spending so much time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying
to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due
to their all too familiar tunnel vision
players like Ozil always present the fans with a bit of a conundrum, especially when times are tough... if you look around the sporting world every once in awhile there emerges a player with incredible skill, like Ozil, Matt Sundin or even Jay Cutler, who have a different way about themselves... their movement seemed almost too lackadaisical, so much so that it seemed
to suggest indifference or even disinterest on the part of the player... their posture always appears somewhat mopey and they generally have an unflattering «sour puss» expression on their face... for some their above average skills are enough
to keep them squarely in the mix, as their respective teams try desperately
to find a way
to get the best out of them visa vie player acquisitions or the reworking of tactics... when things go according
to planned the fans usually find a way
to accept their unique disposition, whereas when things go awry they become easy targets for fans and pundits alike... in the case of Ozil and Sundin, their successes on the international stage and / or with their former teams led many
to conclude that if we surrounded such talented individuals with players that have those skills that would most likely
bring the best of these players success would surely
follow... unfortunately both the Maple Leafs and our
club chose
to adopt half - measures, as each were being run by corporations who valued profitability over providing the best possible product on the field... for them, they cared more about shirt sales and season tickets than doing whatever was necessary... this isn't, by any stretch, an attempt
to absolve Ozil of any responsibility for his failures on the pitch... there is no doubt oftentimes his efforts were underwhelming,
to say the least, but this
club has been inept when it comes
to providing this prolific passer with the kind of players necessary for him
to flourish... with our poor man's version of Benzema up front, the headless chickens in Walcott, the younger Ox and Welbeck occupying wide positions far too often and the fact that Carzola, who provided Ozil with great service and more freedom
to roam, was never truly replaced, the only real skilled outlet on the pitch was Sanchez... remember
to be considered a world - class set - up man goals need
to be scored and for much of his time here he has been surrounded by some incredibly inept finishers... in the end, I'm not sure how long he will be in North London, recent sentiments and his present contract situation seem
to suggest that he will depart at season's end, but how tragic would it be if once again we didn't put our best foot forward and failed
to make those moves that could have
brought championship football back
to our once beloved
club... so when you think about this uniquely skilled player don't be so quick
to shift all the blame on his shoulders because he will not be the first or the last highly skilled player
to find disappointment at the Emirates if we don't rid the
club of those individuals that are truly
to blame for our current woes
It's not Metro or Sky.I don't
follow them.Why
follow them there are more faster and reliable sources?I keep saying inside info is twice as fast as mediaThey are never on.par in terms of speed so this is ahead of time.People will doubt me but Arsenal is so poor with transfers that it makes inside people look bad.All other info from othrr
clubs is always spot on because they get it done but I support ArsenalWith us, it's today and no tomorrow.I
bring you all the twist and turns.Arsenal have bid # 42.5 m for Malcolm and I was told several months ago that they were working hard
to sign Jose Gimenez
to a pre-contract in January.
When asked about Sterling's future at the

bringing him
to the

Following Klopp's words, it'll be interesting
to see if the

to bring Llorente
to Old Trafford.
Royals boss Brian McDermott has already
brought in Garath McClearly from Nottingham Forest as he looks

like I've said before, Wenger is simply stating that Sanchez is staying so that he can regain some leverage when it comes time
to make a deal and
to shift the focus back squarely on Sanchez... this is 101 tactics in PR management... the very fact that he even mentioned RVP's name speaks
to the utterance arrogance of a man that believes he answers
to no one... before you harshly judge Sanchez think carefully about what the ultimate intentions of both parties involved... Sanchez wants
to win trophies and get paid generously for his efforts, whereas the
club wants
to pull the wool over our eyes once again so that we blame the player for wanting the very things we told him we wanted when we
brought him in... how many times do we have
to go down this road before we realize the only common factor in each of these scenarios is the
club itself... trust me, if we showed any ambition Sanchez's contract demands would be much different... just like in other major sports players will take a «home town» discount if they see those in charge making a truly honest attempt
to fight for the highest honours in their respective fields... that being said, if they see a team trying
to make disparaging remarks about them in the press and not
following through on their promises, they will likely try
to make them pay a premium for their services or seek greener pastures... btw if anyone simply looks at the score versus Bayern today and thinks that even for a second that this was a deserved victory, just watch the game and judge for yourself... actually save yourself the anguish and just know that if it weren't for Cech and Martinez this could have been a repeat of our Champions League flopping or worse
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...
BigGun i agree that he should stay until end of season, if he is leaving then he should only loan players in January and leave the bulk of the money
to the next manager, i personally would like
to see Pep Guardiola
to stand in for AW because Arsenal modeled (our play) on his way of play when he was at Barca possession (tiki taca) also he has a huge
following of top players he can
bring to our
club.
The Red Devils have already
brought in five new players so far in this transfer window, and it now looks like further additions could be lined up with the view
to replacing players like Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao, who have left the
club, as well as Angel Di Maria, who looks set
to follow.
Zinedine Zidane was last week said
to be keen on
bringing Alexis Sanchez
to the
club to replace the departed Morata, but the Chilean is not an out - and - out striker, and couldn't fill the holes left by both Morata and Benzema, so this deal would likely have
to follow a deal for Mbappe, which may still not happen.
Although it will be incredibly difficult
to ever match his contributions on the pitch, it's vitally important for a former
club legend, like Henry,
to publicly address his concerns regarding the direction of this
club... regardless of those who still feel that Henry has some sort of agenda due
to the backlash he received
following earlier comments he made on air regarding Arsenal, he has an intimate understanding of the game, he knows the fans are being hosed and he feels some sense of obligation, both professionally and personally,
to tell it like he sees it... much like I've continually expressed over the last couple months, this team isn't evolving under this current ownership / management team... instead we are currently experiencing a «stagnant» phase in our
club's storied history... a fact that can't be hidden by simply changing the formation or
bringing in one or two individuals... this team needs fundamental change in the way it conducts business both on and off the pitch or it will continue
to slowly devolve into a second tier
club... regardless of the euphoria surrounding our escape act on Friday evening, as it stands, this
club is more likely
to be fighting for a Europa League spot for the foreseeable future than a top 4 finish... we can't hope for the failures of others
to secure our place in the top 4, we need
to be the manufacturers of our own success by doing whatever is necessary
to evolve as an organization... if Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke can't take the necessary steps
following the debacle they manufactured last season, their removal is imperative for our future success... unfortunately, I strongly believe that either they don't know how
to proceed in the present economic climate or they are unwilling
to do whatever it takes
to turn this ship around... just look at the current state of our squad, none of our world class players are under contract beyond this season, we have a ridiculous wage bill considering the results, we can't sell our deadwood because we've mismanaged our personnel decisions and contractual obligations, we haven't properly cultivated our younger talent and we might have become one of the worst
clubs ever when it comes
to way we handle our transfer business, which under Dein was one of our greatest assets... it's time
to get things right!!!

Kenny Dalglish was
