Failure shouldn't necessarily be blamed on transfers.It's part of the reason but is not the only reasons.Other clubs which can't even buy like Arsenal have won very good trophies.Even at those times we were in debt we had a good team capable of winning the EPL or winng some of the smaller trophies.But we just went on trophyless.Now we are almost debt free and we are promised glory but honestly we don't even have the hope of glory.The only thing that can save us is renewal of the mind of the manager and board.That will bring a positive change.It's only insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect different results.We have a lot to prove out there to the world because the greatness of Arsenal has really gone down in the face of the world.They only see us as a team with good football that's all.The world doubts us and we have a point to prove.The values of a club is as important as winning trophies.If not Arsenal wouldn't have been this top club that people talk about everyday were it fpr only values or trophies.They go hand in hand.However, to the world trophies are very important and that fact can not be hidden.

with his attitude as if we have to be his servant, get back to Chilie and get those life values back, he is a football player, but a man first, and as a player and man, his all attitude sucks, i don't know why wenger kept him and take that shit, means we have to take it... I told yo before, get his ass on training camp, ruining all day, shut him up, keep him out of the squad, not even in bench to bring his laim superior attitude... All money he is making, he should think of Chilie street and reality for kids he was once... He is in a great city, a club that won in this league and would be in CL as every year without this type of laim ways... So, of course no one wants him around during that ceremony, not even in the room... Get real sanchez, you came from misery, benched for years by gardiola too, sell out, poor minded..

First and foremost we have to start facing up to the sad fact that we are no more the attractive prospect for transfers that we used to be so even if his club will allow him leave chances are he will consider us as a last option and not a dream move, their is nothing we can offer him that Dortmund can't in football terms....

It would have to be a very serious offer as Kroenke has only recently turned down a # 1billion takeover bid from Alisha Usmanov to buy out Stan's majority shareholding, which would have valued Arsenal Football Club at a massive # 2 billion, so Dangote's bid would have to even eclipse those figures.

Since the last day of the season, i have been so devastated that i lost all desire for football seeing as we wont be in UCL and ManU won the EL which gives them a slot in the CL I just do nt wan na imagine how i would feel if we lost to Chelsea, it would make this season a huge failure... if we win, we can at least count ourselves among clubs with silverware (ManU, Chelsea, and other leagues) ManU even have 3 titles...

Theo is an expensive failure and to keep giving him the chance when he has repaid the clubs faith with being a bottler and acting as if he's a lazy git (watched him a number of seasons ago against Blackburn away and all he did was run up and down the wing without even calling for the ball to draw defenders away from the centre) I hate to say it but in my mind Alan Hansen was right when he said that «Walcott has not got a natural footballers brain» It infuriated me at the time but its been proven to be true I feel he's been collecting his money for too long without a result to justify keeping him in our employment.

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

It has come to our attention as fans of arsenal football club, that mr.arsene wenger is hurting and spoiling our club.He believes that he will win the premier league which is in itself stupid and foolish cause he can't no matter what he tries.No wonder Jose mourinho called you a specialist in failure cause you are too stubborn to accept assistance even when you are wrong and for that you will never achieve anything in your remaining time as manager.

NO CLUB has a divine right to stay at the top strata even Man Utd WERE RELEGATED IN THE EARLY 1980»S (approx, not sure of exactly the year) and any business let alone football club that treats its customers with such disrespect and disdain (like Sir Chips at the AGM, REMEMEBER) and as Kroenke and the board too are doing, year after year, WILL pay the awful prCLUB has a divine right to stay at the top strata even Man Utd WERE RELEGATED IN THE EARLY 1980»S (approx, not sure of exactly the year) and any business let alone football club that treats its customers with such disrespect and disdain (like Sir Chips at the AGM, REMEMEBER) and as Kroenke and the board too are doing, year after year, WILL pay the awful prclub that treats its customers with such disrespect and disdain (like Sir Chips at the AGM, REMEMEBER) and as Kroenke and the board too are doing, year after year, WILL pay the awful price.

Not even Gerrard has done as much for Liverpool football club as Kenny Dalglish — player, manager and winner at Anfield.

to me we are just watching the inevitable consequences of a bursting football bubble which is what AFC (Arsenal Financial Corporation) has become under the Franco American alliance... to be honest its lasted longer than I expected as the signs of a Ponzi club were visible 5 years ago but somehow the 4th place zombie fans kept the thing going longer than I expected but the bust is, consequently, even more worrisome for the long term health of the club... obviously Wenger should have gone 5 years back but that was not in the interest of the vulture owner... next steps are uncertain but I hope fans show their disgust by not showing up to the emirates next game

We support the Club And not the Regime.It is worrying that the players are talking about this as we are supposedly a big club.All fans should NOT boycott games even as a silent protest.We must do what we were born to do and support the CLUB and the TEAM that represents ARSENAL FOOTBALL CClub And not the Regime.It is worrying that the players are talking about this as we are supposedly a big club.All fans should NOT boycott games even as a silent protest.We must do what we were born to do and support the CLUB and the TEAM that represents ARSENAL FOOTBALL Cclub.All fans should NOT boycott games even as a silent protest.We must do what we were born to do and support the CLUB and the TEAM that represents ARSENAL FOOTBALL CCLUB and the TEAM that represents ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUBCLUB.

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

Arsenal is not as bad as you lot make it out to be, if all football teams strived to be like Bayern, Barca, Madrid etc would clubs like Stoke, Everton, Swansea etc even have fans?

which is certainly not a slight on the young french national player; like him or not, Sanchez has provided some real world - class performances for club and country in recent years... if you do this move, you need to really clean house or face some serious consequences for the foreseeable future... half measures are rarely rewarded, that's how we got here... tear down the wall... we need to get rid of Giroud, not because he isn't a talented player, his skill - set simply doesn't make sense if we hope to maximize the offensive potential of a quick passing, one - touch scheme... we need to evolve, like Barcelona, who realized you needed to have clinical finishers or face a mind - numbing future of horizontal passes and largely ineffective crosses... Barca went and got Suarez, even though they had Messi and Neymar on the roster (just imagine the possibilities — another in the litany of Wenger «what ifs»)... we need to be as clinical in the boardroom as on the pitch... accept nothing less or move on... personally I would move on from Welbeck, Giroud and Walcott, even Ox if he isn't all in... I think the most intriguing player might be Perez, which runs counter to the thoughts in my head when he arrived late last summer... we need a deep lying DM with quick feet and long ball potential, midfielders who can counter quickly even when they are spread out and 4 or 5 players who know how to attack the lanes (kind of a cross between Barca, Dortmund and Monaco)... this is seriously an achievable goal, one that logically should have been achieved quite a few years ago... did no one in the Arsenal organization see the financial restructuring of the football universe... think of the players we could have had but we weren't willing to cough up the dough only for those individuals to have their value double or triple within a 12 to 24 month period... even if just from an investment perspective these «no deals» represent a failure of monumental proportions... only if you cared, of course

Until this tiny petty manager and owner leave football to the real passionate experts out there we won't even exsist as a top club so we're better off waiting for that day to come in 2/3 years and hope usamanov is the man to take over and cleanse the whole club from top to bottom and rid of Wengers cancer and loosers who get paid way to much just to install a tiny weak loser mentality and petty training and transfers Tactics with teeny weeny transfer fees and huge wages for mediocre staff n players Bring on 2020

Picture this, we don't come out of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even playing because of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the very idea of having to answer to the likes of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad of excuses, a plethora of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene

Arsenal is not a poor club, it doesn't have the same financial struggles as Southampton, Everton or even Spurs, it is a football Super Giant, but it is run by one man who is looking like he has become too powerful, too comfortable andntoo complacent.

No club wants their best player's to leave, But as the players even say themselves» Anything can happen in football»» You can never say never» And even though Özil and Sanchez are said to be happy with life, in London, there's no guarantee that they will hang around without major silverware rolling in.

The spanish clubs are as much empires as they are football clubs and even if they spent 80mil on Pogba, the merchandising alone would probably offset 3/4 of his fee.

I have this argument with my dad everyday, I really don't care we are the fifth richest club in the world, football in my opinion is all about what happens on the pitch not in the accounting department, we as fans were sold a dream by the people at the top of our club including wenger that basically said after Ashburton grove was built we'd compete on the pitch with the best in Europe, guess what we haven't, the only thing we've done is make a rich American and his associates even richer, wenger has been a willing participant in this.

Even if he does turn out good, he will just use us as a stepping stone to go to a better club, because Arsenal refuses to compete with the elite of football and prefer to remain stagnant.

from the bench... I know it is not easy and will create a major shake up when wenger leaves, doesn't need to be a chaos but for him to be part of the ckub forver as Sir ALex can be and even more so, see his football son he rised to his own statue, rise the club to the top!

The saddest part though is that complete morons who probably don't even know where N5 is, spend their time trolling Wenger, throwing every conceivable insult as if he alone has caused every issue at the club, present complete bs as fact (as if it has ever been about money for Wenger) and can not display a little humility, compassion or respect for ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUBS greatest ever manager.

If you want to talk mediocrity look at other teams other then Man U even Chelsea and you will understand what mediocrity is Morons like you will never appreciate what Wenger has done for Arsenal football club Certainly more then the current plastic moronic fanbase at Arsenal I've been a season ticket holder since 1976 and this is the worst fanbase I have seen in that time BeforfNs start saying we pay top money my answer is don't come t the ground we don't need stupid fans better to have half empty stadium full of real fans then morons taking out their real frustrations of failure on the team Just ask spuds fans who seem to back their team even though they have only won 2 trophies in 30 years and only been in the cl 4 times as opposed to the cabinet Full of trophies that Wenger has delivered plus a new stadium and works class stars that have played for us in his tenure.

Manchester United have beaten Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to reclaim their position as the biggest brand in world football, becoming the first club to pass the $ 1billion mark.The brand Finance, which measures a team's «brand power» and its ability to monetise its global recognition, shows United as top of the pile despite two trophyless seasons at Old Trafford.I mean how is that even possible?

Otherwise I fear that this could be the year that we finally turn into a mid table club, miss 4th place and begin a swift decline as recruiting players becomes even more tricky without champions league football.

This time it seems to be even worse for Arsenal Football Club and Arsene Wenger, as the manager's hopes of building on the battering we handed out to Gatalatasaray in Turkey and bouncing back in the Premier League after the horror show at Stoke have taken a massive blow.

I reckon that a lot of Arsenal fans spent the summer more in hope than expectation that things would change at Arsenal Football Club, despite various members of the board including our CEO Ivan Gazidis telling us that it would happen even though they had not changed the manager as many fans were demanding but instead gave the apparently unsackable Arsene Wenger another well paid two year contract.

when per and kos played together kos was always having to cover behind per for the over the top ball into space, and yesterday he wasnt gabriel was tracking across to help kos and likewise it looked like it could develop into a top partnership However i do not think per will stay on the bench all season, as captain / vice captain wenger wont allow it Is it me or ever since the WC and retiring from international football, does mertesacker look less motivated to play, he isnt even trying to run back whenever the ball is played over him and he is always taking the easiest possible option Hope that we can sell per in the summer and buy van dijk but i very much doubt there is a club out there that will want to buy mertesacker

They have now become apathetic about the club, the football we play, and even football as a whole.

The dream signing is obvious, if even more unlikely as the club missed out on Champions League football for next season.

Its nice to see some people have open there eyes but all is true lets ask our selves have this team change from last season where are the experienced players that wenger talked about he selling us bull and every season he gets away with it the fans deserve better am from the caribbean so chance r i might never get to see arsenal live at the emirates because its too expensive at least the club should be winning things i know its important to balance the books you must BUT football is about trophies as well and thats were the balance lies how the hell can we go Six (6) seasons yes 6 without a trophy not even a FA cup or carling cup and no one says a word about the manager that is rubbish Arsenal live in the past too much the time is now this season for me is the absolute last for wenger to win something i do nt care how much money he has made the club and Wenger if you cant bring that then go work for an oil company and make them money and leave arsenal to a manager who is willing to win something not only buy players for 10 million who take 10 years to develop am frustrated with this man.

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.

Over last 10 years, the revenue we controlled as a football club in the most successful financial decade in the history of sport, has grown 14 per cent, that's not even inflation.

A number of Premier League and overseas clubs are keen to sign Richards but he dismissed suggestions he will quit the club he joined as a 14 - year - old in 2001, even if he fails to land regular first - team football.

The Belgian is contract to the west London club until 2020 and given how highly he is regarded by the owners, both as an asset and as a footballer, even a record - breaking bid might not be enough to secure his services, but that doesn't mean clubs won't try this summer.

Even with its reputation in modern English football as well as its global acclamation, it was in the year 2004 when the London - based club last clinched the English Premier League crown.

In the meantime, Steve Kean will take charge on an interim basis although, with the owners suggesting that it could take as long as until the end of the season until a replacement is found, Kean could be handed the role permanently should he perform the miracles the board are asking for, which is to get this average bunch of Ewooder's playing attractive football even though half of the players at the club would struggle to get into a Championship starting XI.
