At least, he would have left
the club in a good financial position like he said he would.
Not exact matches
We are now apparently
in a far
better financial position, and the purchases of Ozil and Sanchez would certainly point towards this being the truth, we now regularly hear about what cash reserves the
club has and there are war chest quotes of 70 million to 120 million
in each transfer window and
club execs and the like as
well as the press tell us how much money we can spend....
Our
club is
in a
good financial position and the transfer business is quite encouraging, this can only be emphasised by the two FA trophies we have won back to back and still
in a
good position to compete with English and Europe's top prestige
clubs for now and
in the future.
Most PL
clubs have to fund themselves, arsenal are fortunate that we are
in a
good financial position and have a new stadium.
He is a player who we can't afford to lose.The
club knows this, the fans know this, and just as importantly so does Mesut Ozil.The fact that he will be
in a
position to get himself a very nice Signing On Fee from whichever
club he signs for after June means he will get the
financial rewards he always wanted.Who can blame him for getting the very
best for himself.If his abilities had been appreciated by the
club and management earlier then the player would have not been
in the
position we have now where the cards are all held by him.To keep him will cost the
club a huge signing on fee and colloidal wages but that is the price we must pay.We need him so pay him provided it is what SVEN M and RAUL advise.Im sure the player himself would be impressed that these 2 are involved and the whole structure of the
club is moving forward.
ok we are
in a strong
financial position, we all know that since we are one of the richest teams ok the worls and we can buy any player besides neymar messi or cr7 (thats we we are tought, besides we fail
in signing the likes of mbappe, lemar and others) we are there of course because of wenger masterplan to move to emirates and sacrifice our
best year, when we were an atractive
club because of the noise and image of the invensible... we have an awesome squad, last year, one of the
best in the last 20 years of the
club, as we were told from the same dictator who knows all arsenal players
in those years
This is Wenger legacy, this is what he wants to be remembered for... He left the
club in a healthy
financial position (
well and the 17 years
in a row of CL... Not like we were going to win it, ever!!).
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...
He has managed / coached the
best clubs in the world and been extremely successful and now we are
in a very
good financial position for him to keep bolstering our squad when needed by bringing
in top players.
I can only make sure of one thing, that the guy who comes after me finds the
club in a very strong
position with very
good players
in a very
good, strong
financial situation.
It's the fans that keep sacrificing because this team can't get their head out of their own ass... please give me some examples when a top
club ever let their
best player leave for free at the end of a season... Wenger needs to go to PSG and get some money and talent for Sanchez so that we can end this nonsense once and for all... then he needs to publicly apologize for the way
in which they handled the whole situation... if they allow Sanchez to go for free there is no way this
club, under the tutelage of Kroenke and Wenger, will ever layout the necessary coin to replace such a talented player, especially considering that Wenger will be a lame - duck manager once again
in the final year of his contract and we know how
well that went last year... open your eyes people, Wenger has spoken publicly about how he hopes that the next manager can take this
club to the next level... WHAT?!?... he then went on to speak about leaving them
in the perfect
position to be successful, which is one of the reasons why several pundits felt Wenger would leave after last season based on the
financials and the fact that so many players had only one year left on their respective contracts... who says this shit??? If you believe you're leaving things
in the
best possible shape for your potential successor to achieve greatness it raises a couple of serious questions: Why can't you take things to the next level if everything is as great as you say?
Let's get the facts straight here.He never demanded # 400,000 a week.All that is just media talk.However, I support your point of the fact that him going does not mean disaster.We've survived with far
better players leaving you know.If Arsenal had replaced Van Persie the season he left we would've challenged them for the title that season.However, at that time we were financially poor and had to settle for some second rate players.Now we are
in a
better financial position and I expect us to be more ambitious and that involves trying as much as possible to replace any player who leaves.This doom prediction doesn't show the character of a top club.Even Chelsea won't behave like how we do if they lost Hazard.I hate the way Arsenal allows players to treat it.I actually thought only smaller
clubs behaved that way.
I can only hope that he decides to take a
position upstairs at the
club after he leaves as manager, because the man really does deserve the utmost respect for what he has achieved, not just
in honourable success but
financial success as
well.
Without
good financial position you can't exist as a
club in the top tier EPL.
The reason why I say that it is often
better to tell others about your finances is to make them aware that you are unable to do many of the things that you have previously done, such as going out to parties or
clubs and spending money on drinks and entertainment until you can get yourself
in a
better financial position and recover from your debt.
