What about all the tott players telling him that
you only move to big clubs for more money and better chances at winning stuff, then they'll say there is no point in moving if you get that at Lei.
Thirdly, he would
only move to a bigger club and Arsenal are not (unless he follows Simeoni perhaps).
The only problem is that the South Korean midfielder has publicly said that he would
only move to a bigger club if he knows that he will be guaranteed first - team football.
Not exact matches
Can't help but laugh, players
only come
to arsenal these days because of
bigger pay cheque and
to improve themselves, then they
move to ambitious
clubs.
Our main man Alexis has been in top form, and he is claimed
to be eyeing a summer
move from our
club, which will
only spur him on
to play his heart out, as he looks
to earn the next
big pay - day of his career.
Still
only 22, the Spaniard has long been regarded as bright prospect in European football and will surely be on the
move to a

My
only big concern is that I think Debuchy will also be looking

move in January given the Frenchman's lack of action at the

Our
only chance is if we bid

move (seeing as he's desperate

moves to clubs willing
to spend money Ibra, Sanches, Higuain, Kante, Pogba and other players like Draxler and Mahrez are still available

to by not under bidding and then claiming
to have tried in the media!
OT if rumours are true about Sanchez and Aguero swap then the
club should make it happen if Alexis doesn't want
to be at the
club move him on Arsenal is
bigger than Alexis and no player should hold the
club to ransom if his heart isn't in it his performances will
only dip and the
club will suffer for it, he's always been a bit of a sulker anyway give him
to city get Aguero and lets
move on
there is no doubting that Arsene has helped
to provide us with some incredible footballing moments in the formative years of his managerial career at Arsenal, but that certainly doesn't and shouldn't mean that he has earned the right
to decide when and how he should leave this
club... there have been numerous managers at each of the
biggest clubs in Europe throughout the last decade who have waged far more successful campaigns than ours yet somehow and someway each were given their walking papers because they failed
to meet the standards laid out by the hierarchy of their respective
clubs... of course that doesn't mean that
clubs should simply follow the lead of others, especially if
clubs of note have become too reactionary when it comes
to issues of termination, for whatever reasons, but there should be some logical discourse when it comes
to the setting of parameters for a changing of the guard... in the case of Arsenal, this sort of discourse was largely stifled when the higher - ups devised their sinister plan on the eve of our
move to the Emirates... by giving Wenger a free pass due
to supposed financial constraints he, unwittingly or not, set the bar too low... it reminds me of a landlord who says he will
only rent
to «professional people»
to maintain a certain standard then does a complete about face when the market is lean and vacancies are up... for those who rented under the original mandate they of course feel cheated but there is little they can do, except
move on, especially if the landlord clearly cares more about profitability than keeping their word... unfortunately for the lifelong fans of a football
club it's not so easy
to switch allegiances and frankly why should they, in most cases we have been around far longer than them... so how does one deal with such an untenable situation... do you simply shut - up and hope for the best, do you place the best interests of those with
only self - serving agendas above the collective and pray that karma eventually catches up with them, do you run away with your tail between your legs and
only return when things have ultimately changed, do you keep trying
to find silver linings
to justify your very existence, do you lower your expectations by convincing yourself it could be worse or do you stand up for what you believe in by holding people accountable for their actions, especially when every fiber of your being tells you that something is rotten in the state of Denmark
our transfer window was a
big joke we could easily got mandzukic for 17m (some morons here thinks giroud is better than mandzukic) his physical presence would intimated the likes of matic / terry but we made a
move 4 welbeck
only after giroud got injured we have cdm in flamini (not a sngle
club wanted him) & we have no 3rd choice cb the problem is wenger yes the ref was joke in sundays game had he got ba ** s the outcome would be different but 4 wenger
to not being able
to beat mourinho says it all
The
only striker that thrived at Arsenal in the last 10 years was Van Persie and he soon realised that in order for him
to compete for the
big prizes he had
to move on.30 odd goals for Manure the first season he is there and he wins them the league.With the form he was in and the team that he led in his last season it needed 2 - 3 players and we could have won the title ourselves but that was Wenger and nothing has changed for the positive since.We WILL NOT win anything
big all the time he remains at the
club
We may be a
big club, but we are a second tier
club now that can
only bring in the players that are deemed surplus
to requirements by the
big boys — Mesut, Alexis — or the young players that might turn out
to be world class, but aren't quite ready for a
move to Barca / Bayern / Real / Juve -LRB-?)
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
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...

only human and understandably keen
to move to a
bigger club at some point and play alongside star names such as Hazard.

Seeing how quality players are

only one Arsene but we cant win major trophies with wenger he used
to win them when it was a two horse race,
only utd were a threat but now he cant repeat the invincible era or win epl 10 yrs can evidence there is competition and we are not in it.

Many times a «hot player» at a particular
club (maybe fits in perfectly with the group / style / players / manager / etc) shines and gets a
big head
to move on
only to find out he had it much better where he was originally.
He signed a new five - year - deal earlier this season which is a huge commitment and it certainly means any
move from Leeds would take a very large figure, but hopefully Andrea Radrizzani has a plan
to push on again and he won't
only need
to convince Pontus Jansson, Pablo Hernandez another who wants
to know the direction the
club is going, because it's not somewhere where he'll stay for a
big wage because he won't get one.
