I still haven't seen any world class
forward move to a big club.

«It's certainly not something that, as a
club or as the rest of the squad, we share, but for him that's just his beliefs at the moment and we've got
to support that and it's not a
big deal for the squad

Eddie Howe MAY make an excellent future Arsenal Manager.Now is not his time.We have the money and (new) infrastructure in place
to go
forward as a
club and to do this we need a Manager who is proven and understands the Big Club mentality that will go with the job.Steve McLarens opinion carries no weight and respect from anyone.We now have some very talented and highly respected people that were recruited by Ivan G to give us the backbone to finally move on from the One Man Dictatorship we have been forced to endure since the senseless departure of David Dein.They will identify the targets and I'm sure the list who WANT the job will be many.Eddie Howe will not make that list.

I personally believe that Wenger didn't push
to have the contracts of Sanchez, Ozil, Ramsey and Ox renewed earlier because he was going
to use it as leverage when renegotiating his own deal... so far that tactic has backfired as we know little more about this squad
moving forward than we did in May and Wenger clearly misjudged just how important his staying would be
to both Sanchez and Ox... I like Lacazette, but I liked him a lot more 2 years ago at 20 million less... Sead might come good but once again he wasn't a necessity buy, except that he was a free transfer and was signed early... another «wag the dog» tactic employed by the powers that be... as for the rest of the roster, very little has changed, except that it's way too
big and lacks the cutting edge
to take this
club to new heights.
Chelsea and Manchester City have also been linked with the
forward in recent years, but will his recent actions hamper a
move to a
big club?
Higuain has been placed up for sale by Real Madrid as they look
to fund a
big - money
move for Tottenham star Gareth Bale, and a number of
clubs would be keen
to take on the out - of - favour
forward.
The Leicester City
forward is one of the best players in the Premier League playing outside of the current «
big six»
clubs, and it's long been speculated that he could
move to a
bigger name.
We're not
moving forward under Arsene and there is no way anybody in this
club will do something, because the whole team is Arsene, and people seem
to have forgotten Arsenal was once a
big club, that has won titles before him.
However, with
big money contracts likely
to be available elsewhere with
clubs established in terms of competing for and winning trophies on a regular basis, it could be tough for Spurs
to keep hold of players like Alli
moving forward.
Having shown he has the technical quality, eye for goal and capability
to be a leading figure for
club and country in recent years, there are likely
to be few reservations over whether or not Griezmann will fit in at the Nou Camp, and based on the report above, that process could be happening this summer as the reported search for a property is a
big indication of his intentions
moving forward.
But
to finish where I started, this
club has
big plans, we are
moving forward conscientiously, the football is looking good.
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...
Whatever your beliefs are regarding the intentions of this
club moving forward, don't think for a second that it has
to do with appeasing the fans, winning the highest honours and / or changing the stagnant culture that permeates this
club... every decision is made for one sole purpose and that is
to maintain the delicate balance between Kroenke's unyielding need
to acquire more wealth and Wenger's fragile psyche, which is why we have this ridiculous wage structure that pays deadwood too much and makes it incredibly difficult
to attract special players... personally I believe that Wenger's greatest fear isn't that he won't win a
big trophy again but exposing himself
to the overwhelming criticism he will face when people discover the totally dysfunctional state of affairs that exist at Arsenal due
to his antiquated practices which have gone relatively unchecked and unchallenged since the departure of Dein
For the 2018 season, the
club will take its
biggest step
forward to date as its entire operation finally
moves under just one roof.
If Arsenal are
to move forward they need
to show they are a
big Club that is not held ransom by the players.
They were horrible in the 1st half not
to end the game in 1st half... We have discussed lot about Wenger's Leaving the
club today or tomorrow but who is the right candidate for this
club to move forward... That is
big question...
They should concentrate on their present reality, where Spurs have a better, younger squad, all happily on long contracts, a better youth set - up with better youth players, better training facilities, soon a
bigger, better, more modern, more fit
to purpose and better designed with a view
to atmosphere, stadium, a better, younger manager
to be
moving forward, a better chairman in a united boardroom, with greater stability running right through the
club.
Moving forward Wenger HAS
to make a
big signing namely Aubameyang if he wants
to stay at the
club — he has
to make a massive statement.
But now that his value has been set, Arsenal could be a
big winner if a
club is ready
to pay that sum — they could use it
to fund a
move for an already established top quality centre -
forward they are currently looking for.
