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...

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
common guys... i also want wenger to leave
at the end
of the season but that doesn't mean we can blame everything and anything on him...

You don't get it do you?I'm not even talking about the money.But I agree with you that for the kind

young by then and the pressure on him was massive.Looking
at the impact he's had in our
club if Henry had failed who would imagine what Arsene would have done.To me he's our best
player ever.Arsene put a lot
of trust in him to be honest but the gamble paid off.However, I think he had a point to prove to world and to Juve hence he succeeded.The same as is with Mbappe with even a higher transfer fee and more expectation.If he's ever signed for that amount he's coming here to be the main man whowill send us into glory.Forget Ozchez for all eyes will be on him.

I personally am a big fan
of Morata because I think
at Arsenal, there is a lot
of faith in
young players and the
club has the experience
of developing youngsters.
Some people are comparing morata to giroud, first he's much more
younger at 23 years, secondly he hasn't really played as d main striker with all the backings giroud has enjoyed, he's a potential
at his age and has played in two
of d best leagues With
clubs like JUVE and Madrid, he's a big game
player, he's fast and skillful.
Finally, and to reiterate an earlier point, the way forward for this
club is to stop paying below average bench
players so much money and to focus the bulk
of the weekly wages on establishing a dominant starting 11... this will require the
club to eat some wages in order to ship some
players out, get rid
of any deadwood over the age
of 21, develop a cutting edge scouting service and put your money where your mouth is for once... I would much rather have a starting 11 that was world - class and give some reasonably paid
young blue - chippers playing time when injuries occur than have 2 or 3 world class
players surrounded by a plethora
of overpaid and underwhelming
players... management would no longer be able to sell their half - baked plans to the fans under the guise
of «winning now», which any intelligent fan knows is a crap - shoot
at best, and instead create a a squad that provides hope for the present and the future... this is exactly the model that has been used by Barcelona, Real & Bayern, so it should be good enough for us... by the way, until Messi & Ronaldo re-signed just recently all 3
clubs weekly wages were on par with ours... think about that for a second or two
