club in the world who acts in the same way as we do.
Frankly, there's not a huge number of
clubs in the world who really fit the bill for this game any more.
There isn't another major football

who live and die for the
club get mugged off by our friends and the rest of the footballing

in them because they're a bunch of bottle jobs!

Its seems to me that both the
club and it's fans are not serious.Anytime Arsenal sign a youngster from another team
who is dubbed the next whatever people come out and say Arsenal have just signed a youngster
who may or may not make it and that Arsene should sign ready made.They say it to seem as if it's a bad thing.Now that Chris Willock is leaving I'm anticipating that a lot of people are soon going to be blaming the same Wenger
who actually likes bringing
in youngsters.Anyway you have to look at the reasons he lfet.It's for game time and to him he thinks its a good choice.The bright side is that he's not Arsenal's most talented player.The likes of Donyell Malen, Yassin Fortune, Reiss Nelson
in my eyes have more potential as wingers.I also think Arsenal should be very excited about Eddie Nketiah and Stephy Mavididi.They can be
world class strikers
in the future particularly Eddie.
The Ivory Coast international,
who will be competing at this summer's
World Cup with his country, managed to register four goals and one assist

club.
I laughed when you said he will likely be the best player
in the
club he's moving to.I hope Arsenal fans don't deceive themselves also into thinking this.The thing he has over most wingers
in the
world is work rate.Apart from that
in terms of technique, skill and talent there are quite a lot
who can match him there or are even better.He won't have that patience of a
club like Arsenal that allows for mistakes and he'll be benched even when he doesn't want it.I did mention that he was
world class.The fact that you're overrated doesn't mean you aren't
world class.I know all his stats and like you I've watched him since he came here and I can say we are making him look better than he actually is.As for him being irreplaceable I don't think it» sthe first time we heard that about an Arsenal player leaving and we saw how they eventually ended up.
Alexis Sanchez need to go to
club with a more ambition unlike arsenal, cos he is a winner and he needs to win more trophy, he scored 30 goals last season yet arsenal couldn't make top 4, that's to tell u a tree can't make up a forest but till now what has Wenger done to improve the squad to convince Sanchez to stay?nothing, and u expect him to stay with those players
who don't have winning mentality and a coach that lacks ambition, Sanchez don't need money what he need is quality players...... my gunners fans all over the
world let's be truthful to ourselves, how many of us will still remain
in arsenal fc if we were Sanchez, with arsenal transfer activities so far
in mind?
20 years at a
club with how many trophys to count.Mou hasnt been at a single
club that long but success isnt measured by how long you stay at a
club but by how many trophies you add to your name.20 years without a single European medal isnt a nice statistic to a manager
who wants to be deemed successful.And getting so many Fa medals does nt count
in the eyes of
world soccer elite.
I'm ashamed
in our
club, we are no longer one of the top teams, for the first time since Moses did loads of religious crap spud are our equals, all the banter from utd, city and chelsea fans is becoming true and hard to answer We are no longer a force
in Europe, the top teams don't even try and sign our players anymore, we are a buisness and you and every gunners fan is just a customer, thumb me down if you want but you know it's right Tell me how many
world class players we have now and
who's after them?????????

who would of guest City would make an offer of 60 million
in the summer for Sanchez with only a year left on his contract, i'm guessing we could get an offer of around 30 million from City
in January so he wont be persuaded by the likes of PSG with a signing on fee
in the summer, but
who knows what goes
in the mind of Alexis or what kind of injuries some big
clubs could have from now until January for them to make ridiculous offers to a
world class player with no CL conflict of interest, lets say Real Madrid loses Ronaldo, Bale, Karim to long term injury you bet they will come ceiling with baring gifts for Sanchez's services or even Barca with Messi or Suarez
If we start this season with those two
in our starting 11 it will be a clear sign from this organization that nothing has changed and that we will never get it right until both Kroenke and Wenger are gone... neither one of these players should still be with our
club at this point because they represent the settling half - measures that have plagued this team for a number of years... this is what I call the «no man's land» of the soccer
world, where teams don't have enough talented young players, unlike a Monaco or Dortmund, because they have lost the plot from an organizational standpoint... they are so reliant on one individual to run the whole operation that their once relevant scouting department has become so antiquated that it can no longer find those hidden gems it once had... furthermore, when you leave all decision - making to a manager
who despises any dissenting opinions, your management team becomes little more than a stagnant group of «yes men» and no new ideas emerge... so instead of developing a team with the qualities necessary to excel
in a particular system, you continually make half - brain purchases year after year to stifle dissent from the ticket - buying public, then try desperately to finagle together a lineup regardless of what would make positional sense... have you ever heard of a team
who plays players out of position so often... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team of any consequence ever again
Ignoring the fact that the Spaniard is a
world class coach
who built one of the all - time great
club sides
in his short spell at Barcelona and looks to be doing the same at Bayern, his rivalry with Mourinho during their time together
in La Liga was superb entertainment: a clash of personalities, a clash of philosophies — it had everything that the Ferguson - Wenger duel of old used to when the Premier League was
in its hayday.
Who knows, he could do better than three FA cup wins
in the last four years, three community shield wins
in the last four years, twenty years of champions league participation and overseeing the building of a magnificient stadium that has propelled us into the top five
clubs in the
world, All I can say is this, after supporting Arsenal for over sixty years Arsene Wenger is the best their was, the best their is and the best their ever will be and despite numerous attempts to organise protests against him the anti wenger brigade has always failed miserably.
How terribly sad... we have fallen so far that we find ourselves
in the ridiculous position of propping up the oft - injured and rarely inspirational Jack Wiltshire... what's next, extending Walcott, Welbeck and Ramsey... can't you see that these players have nothing to do with winning and all to do with providing recognizable names to the plastic fans
who frequent our overgrown library of a stadium... it's high time we rid this
club of one of the
worlds most incompetent and unsuccessful owners (look it up) and our fragile and spineless manager (much like our
club)
who can't bring
in the best talent because he knows he can't live up to expectations that come with players of that ilk... think about it, he couldn't even handle Sanchez,
who was largely a periphery character
in Barcelona

To be fair because these players flopped
in their respective
clubs does not necessarily mean Te would have flopped at Arsenal because if you want to use such harebrained and short - sighted analogy then you can blame Wenger for the many many players hw could have signed
who later turned out
world class later, CR7, Zlatan just to mention 2...... like it or lump it Wenger is overcautious and indecisive
in the transfer market nowadays...... you win some and lose some, no manager
in the
world can boast a 100 % success rate when buying players...... I know the jury is still out on Martial but personally I respect LVG's courage, conviction and decisiveness
in identifying him and going al out to get him, Wenger need to show such attributes more!!!!
We have more resources than most
clubs and a manager
who gets the most out of them, so we maintain a level of consistency that not even Man U matched, but
in the
world pecking order we're 8th.
and frankly we might deserve this fate because we've let it go on so long... Gazidis is the equivalent of a prison bitch, Kroenke is the destroyer of all sports teams he touches and their are way too many complacent fans
who believe we are the only
club in the
world that can't find a suitable replacement (try explaining to fans of
clubs like Bayern, Barcelona and Real,
who have had more manager changes
in the last 4 year than we've experienced
in 35 seasons)

in Kiev on Friday night.
Take the final step and spend the warchest that our media friendly board members regularly boast of whenever the fans become restless, I am only me, Im not a skilled or qualified professional football manager BUT I am a lifelong fan of the
club having supported Arsenal since the tender age of four and I have seen glory years and I have seen rubbish but what I have never ever seen
in those 40 odd years is Arsenal Football
club rise to the heights of the European Elite and I do feel that for a
club that has been on the very brink and
who have had to step back from it due to the
worlds finances and the ever shifting
world of the global media.
Why do supporters belittle the record of a manager
who could have left Arsenal for PSG < Real Madrid or Barcelona to further his career but instead has built Arsenal Football
Club into one of the top
clubs in the
world.
According to the Sunday Express, Bale,
who move to the Spanish giants

Hahaha at times I wonder about this thing
in football called loyalty.So imagine a
world where all players were loyal to their
clubs till the end of time.If that were to happen many so called top
clubs wouldnt have top players.He left for the right reasons and I wish him all the best.If Arsene wants to go for him he should.Every player is a traitor as long as he wants to move but the
club does nt want to sell or every
club is a traitor to a player
who wanted to stay but the
club wanted to ship him out by force.This is life so deal with.I'd take him
in a heartbeat because to me am sick and tired of being sick and tired of watching this awful and terrible striking force.Nonsense!!!!

club owned by a very wealthy foreign businessman

Regardless of what he said his intention is not to enable the
club to compete at the higher levels as he takes cash from the
club but adds nothing by way of real investment, He's NOT the only culprit though the rest of the baord are as complicate
in this as Silent stan The idea that the author is prpomoting is a great idea if there was any cohesion between the fans groups and someone
who had enough capitol to back it up into some action, sadly we live

worlds population and silent stan is one of those 20 % he ai nt going anywhere any time soon and thats the sad fact.

Indeed
in a rational
world populated with rational beings, those

Mertz should never have been our captain
in the first place...
who has ever heard of a team that makes 11th hour transfer buys (Arteta & Mertz) then seemingly places those same individuals into prominent leadership positions from the get - go... indicative of the problems that have permeated our clubhouse for the better part of 7 years under the Kroenke & Wenger... what is wrong with the players chosen and / or the management style of Wenger that doesn't develop and / or encourage strong leadership from within... Mertz was the fine collecting lackey from year one... this is what happens when you don't get
world - class players because many times they want to have a voice on and off the pitch and this can't happen when you play for a fragile manager
who has developed a coddling wage structure where everyone is rewarded for simply wearing the shirt and participating
in the process... not enough balance between performance and pay, combined with the obvious favoritism shown to some players regardless of their glaring lack of production... remember that Ramsey has played
in positions that make no sense considering his skill - set (out wide) and has forced other players off the field or into equally unfamiliar positions with little or no justification (let's remember when you read articles about how Ramsey's goals this upcoming season being the potential X-factor for our success that this is the same individual
who didn't score a goal until the final week last season)... this of course is just one example of many... before I hear another word from Mertz I want this
club to address the fact that no former player of any real consequence has any important role
in the management structure of this
club, yet several former Gunners have expressed serious interest
in just such an endeavor (Henry, Viera, Adams, Bergkamp... just to name a few legends)... there is only one answer: an extremely insecure manager!!!
There is a long list of defensive failures
who have not been good enough but have hung around picking up offensibly high wages.Also considering the
club were existing on a near starvation diet Mr.Wenger managed to broker for himself one the highest salaries

in his character.

Up front we have a few
world - class players surrounded by some serious pretenders... Sanchez is by far the most accomplished player
in our attack but the controversy surrounding his contractual mishandling could see him go before the window closes or most definitely by season's end... obviously a mistake by both parties involved, as Sanchez's exploits have never been more on display than
in North London, but the
club's irresponsible wage structure and lack of real intent have been the real undoing
in this mess... Lacazette,
who I think has some
world - class skills as a front man, will only be as good as the players and system around him, which is troubling due to our current roster and Wenger's love of sideways passing... Walcott should have been sold years ago, enough said, and Welbeck should never have been brought
in from the get - go... both of these players have suffered numerous injuries over their respective careers and neither are good enough to overcome such difficulties: not to mention, they both are below average first - touch players, which should be the baseline test for any player coming to a Wenger - led Arsenal team... Perez should have been played wide left or never purchased at all; what a huge waste of time and money, which is ridiculous considering our penny pinching ways and the fact that fans had been clamoring for a real striker for years... finally Giroud, the fact that he stills wears the jersey is a direct indictment of this
club's failure to get things right... this isn't necessarily an attack on Giroud because I think he has some highly valued skills, but not for a team that has struggled to take their sideways soccer to the next level, as his presence slows their game even more, combined with our average, at best, finishing skills... far too often those
in charge have either settled or chosen half - measures and ultimately it is us that suffer because no matter what happens Wenger, Gazidis and Kroenke will always make more money whereas we will always be the ones paying for their mistakes... so every time someone suggests we should just shut - up and support the team just think of all the sacrifices you've made along the way and simply reply... f *** off
Theo Walcott has been at Arsenal for 10 years but he's still inconsistent as ever, these overhyped injury prone english players
