Wenger has bought mediocre players — never replacing like for like — instead patching up gaping holes and creating average teams and average players
only coming to the club for he money... Whereas fergie allowed players to leave under «his» terms our master manager allows the players to dictate to him when «they» want to leave..

this
club, under his tutelage, has ruffled a lot of feathers over the years and now it's
coming home
to roost... his arrogance has rubbed many the wrong way, but winning provided the perfect tonic
to cure all ills... whether largely self - created or a byproduct of all the media attention, Wenger seemed
to embrace his cult - like status, which would eventually be his downfall... he claimed that his
club was different... more of an extended family than a footballing
club and
only those with what he deemed as «special» qualities could even hope
to join such an exclusive
club... these «qualities» were hailed by most, especially as the wins kept rolling in... but with exclusivity
comes a certain amount of cockiness, which can be somewhat healthy in a highly competitive environment if it
comes from a honest place... it wouldn't take long for the fans
to embrace their bespectacled former economics professor, going so far as
to suggest he could do no wrong... but this fairy tale couldn't last forever

o.t does anybody on here honestly think we might try and make a move for klopp this summer are the board that aggressive enough
to make the decision also wenger has not
come out straight away
to denied that klopp is
coming to arsenal he just batted the question away in the press conference yesterday this makes me wonder if wenger is going
to sit down with the board and have a chat
to see what is the best way forward for the
club (maybe moving upstairs
to the boardroom so he doesn't have
to break his contract) i am sure if certain members of the board saw this as a prime opportunity
to move the
club forward post wenger we will see what will happen this might be the
only chance
to get him as we might not be any decent manager around when wenger does retire we would probably end up with martinez instead realistically who do you think we would end up with in 2 yrs time options will be more limited me thinks and we wil have missed the boat better make it count this time coyg
The
only way I'd take Raheem Sterling is if Theo left, although I think I'd rather get Theo signed up with us, he's been with us nearly a decade, there isn't many players in the premier league who have been with their
club that long and remember Walcott has
only just turned 26, there's still a lot more
to come from Theo.
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
All this has been
coming for a long time now, Arsene Wegner knows that the majority of the fans want him out, and he refuses
to leave, because Arsenal FC is the
only club that would allow him that amount of time, because he makes them loads of money, so as long as he pleases the pay masters, why should he care about people who has no power, and like most big organisations they continue
to shit on us knowing full well that we are incapable of organising ourselves, so as long as he's at this
club I'll be WEGNER OUT.

If he does
come expect us
to be linked with the top talent at the west London
club and one can
only hope that Bobby Zamora doesn't follow him!
(2) somewhat linked
to the previous comment in that we never seem
to be prepared
to hit the ground running with our best potential lineup
come opening day... it's become so common, in recent years, that many fans actually hope we stumble a little in the first couple games just so it forces Wenger
to bring in reinforcements... unfortunately this can be problematic, thus one of the most common phrases associated with Wenger, «panic buy»... this situation is also negatively impacted by the ridiculous policy regarding players who played in the summer months... right now I'm watching the Super Cup and not a single player is unavailable
to either manager, including Ronaldo, yet somehow we have a list of players half a mile long that haven't seen game - time so far this preseason... I can
only assume this is a reactionary policy created due
to the multitude of injuries this
club has faced over the years... just another sign of the fragility that permeates this
club
Remember if you aren't at the head of the class when it
comes to the development of young talent, which means eyes on the ground everywhere, a vast array of connections with soccer associations throughout Europe and beyond and a manager willing
to properly train and play said blue chippers, (like the 90s Arsenal or
clubs like the modern day Monaco and Dortmund) you need
to spend
to win... anything in between is highly problematic... failure
to make the necessary changes leaves you in the proverbial «no man's land» and that is currently where we reside... it's difficult
to get out of this rut... just ask either of the Milan teams... next step after that is being known as a «seller», which could be us already if and when Sanchez leaves... there are
only two teams that have worn this moniker in recent times and had some decent success and that is Athletico Madrid and Dortmond, which
only occurred when they both brought in new, charismatic leaders in Simmone & Klopp... the odds that Wenger could conjure up the magic
to repeat the performances of a bygone era are incredibly low, so why prolong the agony... he's not willing
to create the hierarchy necessary
to go the youth route and he's unwilling
to put his team's potential success ahead of his job security by laying it on the line with Moustache, so it's time
to place all your chips in the middle or go gently into that good night
We are the
only big
club that has the stability
coming to the new season (not count Spuds as big) and we have

IMO The
only (and highly unlikely) positive that can
come out of this season would the realization that Wenger is not the man
to bring success
to Arsenal and his departure from the
club after the FA cup final.
But I am world weary and long enough in thr tooth
to know that he

I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team than any other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends
to give you so many chances
to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me
to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where
to begin.Was Giroud bought
to become a super sub or
to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those matches because he was not played when he was supposed
to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using
only this season
to label him as a super sub.There were so many matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I
only see Arsenal as the top
club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer
comes we should sell.
Even if this should
come to pass, however, the chances are that his gold medal still will be dwarfed, not
only in size but, as far as industry is concerned, in symbolic importance, by a cup now owned by Trudy Tucker, a middle - aged member of the Lockheed Employee Recreation
Club.
The midfielder was also admirable in his time at centre - back with Barcelona and he was one of the
only defensive players
to have

club with his reputation intact.
Spot on bro... the problem with most of us Arsenal fans is that we've been made
to accept average as our
only option after been promised by Gazidis and other members of the board that we will compete with top European
clubs... i feel some players need
to be allowed
to go in order for better ones who are ambitious and hungry for titles
to come in... and someone made mention of Giroud saving Arsenal in a few games like the countless chances he's missed that could have put the
club in better positions could be equated right... he should have done that against Watford, west brom and the rest... truth be told..
It promises
to be a summer of change in the French capital, as not
only will the

Usually, when you try
to use this kind of
club or wiper move, a pass rusher is wise
to not
only try
to time the offensive lineman's punch, but also
to judge how close they have
to be
to the offensive lineman before they can expect that punch
to come.
It looks like it must be Arsenal, as Arsene Wenger is adamant that he won't do business with another Premier League
club and surely
only Manchester City and Chelsea would even
come close
to offering the sort of wages that Alexis is demanding (unless of course he moves into the obscurity of China).
there is
only one thing that worries me is the lack of top class potential managers
coming through
to replace wenger in a few years, pep might be ok (but he does cause upset at most of the
clubs he manages) klopp on the other hand is too soon
to take over would work but wenger wont go as he is just on the up again.
«You have
to take the opportunities when they
come up but that's not
only decided by your desire, sometimes it's created by the

if
only wenger read blogs, he would see how arsenal fans are committed
to the
club, every day we debate the same things and
come up with the same solutions... Wenger has a plan, let him play it out, patience fellow gooners!
It is a well - known fact that Arsenal are no longer a selling
club and will
only sell if we can get a better replacement
to come in, but that doesn't stop the media talking about our players being tagets for other
clubs, especially as the Interlull has given them little else
to talk about.
Only good thing
to come out was Gabriel can certainly take over from mert no sweat... Coq had a good game... pointless keeping ozil if we don't have targets for him may as well cash in and feather the nest of the corporates destroying this
club...
The deadwood???... as if they bought themselves and gave themselves chances on the pitch
to proof how deadwood they are... interestingly arsenal is i can say the
only top 10
club in Europe that has been having until maybe last season, more than half of the squad as deadwood players and then one if most two players that may be considered WC and the rest average... now i had my hopes up when we bought sanchez last season but arrrrkh, pee peee here
comes welbeck (man utd's deadwood)..
I know some people here would be like» enh arsenal are a big
club so we don't need
to pay attention
to other teams transfer» others might be like» bob chill... they got lukaku we got lacazette» but deep down we all know we ain't ready and if
only we could remember how bad we were mid last season we would all agree
to the fact that we need at least 2 more players just
to anywhere close
to the trophy
come may..
fingers crossed welbz
comes good because it's euros soon so he has
to, with the form all the other English bpl strikers are in he has alot
to prove but i believe in him, remember our boy welbz scored his first hatrick for us in his first season giroud
only got his first this year after how long being at the
club...........
I like
to think of myself as a fairly rational individual, which is why what has and is going on at Arsenal confounds me... little wonder people have gone so far as
to suggest that Wenger is actually sabotaging the
club... one
only needs
to look at our starting 11
to stoke the flames of conspiracy... just think of the perceived importance of this game, considering the loss
to Stoke, the historically significance of the two teams involved, the controversy that swirled around our two meetings last season, the proximity
to the closing of the window and the general disdain being directed towards the manager once again... how is it even possible that you wouldn't
come to Anfield with all guns blazing... not a single shot on target, with the back - up keeper in no less... where were the new signings?
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
If he ever did
come to us it would
only be because he's fulfilled his ambitions of
club football where he's enjoyed a great deal of success.
Arsenal average postion
came up
to something like till CAM and that is a worry cause not
only did the supporters do anything giroud needed something
to motivate him and that was detrimental because of the fact that he was French and Monaco was arsene first
club and how badly he wanted
to do it before freed teammates.
Year after year Wenger keeps saying he is looking
to sign
only quality players if he finds any and yet each transfer window
comes and goes, quality players are bought and sold who help their
clubs win trophies.
Our
club's overall form has also dropped in recent months, which has enhanced the pressure on him, but he is not the
only player
to come under it of late.
