It was an achievement prior 2012 to have stayed in the top four, especially with all our best
players leaving each season and also the initial stadium expenses.
On top of that, we had at least two of our best
players leaving every season, forcing Arsene to bring in sub par replacements and rebuild our squad each and every new season YET he still managed a top four finish while Chelsea, Man United and later City were all strengthening.
Which other manager has had their best
players leave every season but still manage a top 4 finish?
Bar last season onward, he had to make do with very limited fund (dwarfed by even the like Spuds, Liverpool) and key
players leaving every season, but still keep us consistently in top 4 and get through CL group stage, so consistent that the fan had taken it for granted.
-- I guess there won't be
any player leaving us this season then... Oh, and Ozil joined us, as trophy-less as we were!
Not exact matches
The Red Sox
left fielder is one of the greatest
players in baseball history, a 19 - time All Star and the last
player to finish a
season with a.400 batting average or higher.
These
players don't want to play for Wenger again and the earlier the club hierarchy knew this, the better... If at the end of this
season, we are unable to win a major trophy and renew the contract of every important
player without stress, then Wenger just has to
leave!
Which would be worse: He continues to make baffling lineup decisions and give bad
players lots of ice time, or he completely changes course and does what we all wish he'd do,
leaving us to wonder what the hell he was doing for the first 82 games of the
season?
has wenger bought injury - proof bodies for the
players???... i have to agree that we have a stronger squad than in the previous
seasons but its no better than the other top teams... up to now i still can't get why we had to
leave our home and move to the emirates except maybe for the ridiculous ticket prices... the stadium should start paying us back by now
As an example, buying Higuain may mean letting Giroud go because, they are similar type
players leaving the club with a slightly improved Giroud, who may require another 2
seasons to adapt as he did at Napoli.
I see lot of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class
player.Yes, he is a great
player BUT did you see how mutch this
season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest of the
season he was injuried.This is one thing, the other think is that Klopp say he will
leave Dortmund in the end of the
season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will
leave to a big team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type of
player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a first XI
player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will
leave.Sterling is an English
player, will be great to see him at nationat team too, and we need as mutch as rest of the big teams from EPL home grown
players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young
players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a top team, and need performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED
player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great
player.
u are completly right Bob, in that we are way behind.i mean even look at the likes of Everton.and yes like others in the comments i think
players like Lemar,Mahrez,Carvalho,Martins - if all are signed - and Sanchez
left intact, can make the change.but Wenger and Kroenke, being Wenger and Kroenke, that is very unlikely to happen, and we will be
left behind, as always, and probably an even more disastrous
season awaits us
There are other paths to success for the rotation — a Garrett Richards All - Star
season, an Andrew Heaney breakout, for example — but Wilson's salary is one of the reasons the Angels have to use a slapdash platoon in
left and an uninspiring incumbent
player at second.
With all due respect if i could take any
players they would be Higuain and Koulibaly Higuain scored 36 goals from 38 matches and scored 29 one
season for Real Madrid Of course he is not Suarez but better than what we have # 79 million release clause is way too expensive But im hoping Higuain wanting to
leave will force Napoli to lower the price considerably
The Ox should be looking to play a relatively key role in our side this
season, continuing on from where he
left off last term, but his contract has been allowed to run into it's final 12 months, and we can't allow ourselves to lose a large number of
players for free in 12 months time.
But I'm okay with it, as long as Wenger
leaves at the end of this
season and there is 300 millions for five new world class
players next
season.
I do not have any real idea what it will take for the Arsenal manager to convince our club captain Mikel Arteta from
leaving the club and joining his fellow countryman Pep Guardiola at Man City when the current
season comes to an end, but Arsene Wenger knows his
player a lot better than I do and I am sure that the prof can think of something.
This is the second time Lucas Candido has suffered a serious knee injury; the first was at the beginning of the last
season and
left the
player side - lined for the entire year of 2014.
This is the
season of strong fast forwards coz everyone is playing 343 and welbeck can get up and down all day long with oxlade on the same side as him today we over ran Chelsea on our
left and willian was a puny
player bcoz of it!
We will end the
season with 29
players classed as overage, 5 of them are goalkeepers (of which 2 min will not be part of the squad) whilst 4 others are arteta, Debuchy, flamini and rosicky who will surely
leave, I also don't expect Sanogo or wellington to be part of the first team next
season as they are simply not good enough.
The Real Madrid
player is out of contract at the end of the
season and is widely expected to
leave the Bernabeu after talks of a new deal to keep him in the Spanish capital went cold.
Juventus, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Paris Saint - Germain have been most strongly linked with his capture at the end of the
season, and Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Gunners fans should no longer be surprised when their best
players ask to
leave.
Monaco don't want to sell him and Mbappe this
season as they are their best players.We should move for Mahrez before it's too late whether Sanchez
leaves or does not.We need a
left footed
player with cutting edge like him.
Well i would suppose he is tapping up, but is if arsenal is going to sell to Bayern, i think not, My point is if sanchez wants to
leave let him
leave, to keep him would do more harm than good and for me although many blame the manager, i feel one the main reason we got into a slump last
season was Alex and Ozil, their negativity affected the performance of the weak minded
players in our squad.
ONE The squabble with fans over the last
season, when we did not buy an outfield
player until January, which
left us short at the start of the
season, i think it had a telling effect on Wenger when the fans began protesting he seemed quite flustered, although i never agreed with some of the behaviours, i do not think he would not want another episode.
AKB's just never run out of excuses, it isn't «bad luck» when we are first on the injury ladder (by a country mile as well) EVERY
SEASON, the last time i remember having a reasonable injury list was before diaby was injury prone, so whether it's down to his tactics,
players diets or imcompetent staff, a 2.5 star manager wouldn't have taken more than 2 - 3
seasons to fix these problems,
players join our club with amazingly good injury records (ozil) and become injry prone,
players leave our club (fabregas) and are fit 2x as much as they were for us, SOMETHING IS WRONG AT ARSENAL
If sanchez
leaves for free at the end of next
season that is (say) # 50m less we will have to spend on
players.
This is another stupid article, do u knw hw many times wenger has made dis same mistake, how does a manager with more than 20 years of experience go into a
season wth only 2 senior CB, dis injuries are no mistake, you play the same set of
players every chance and just
leave the rest to rot on the bench when some
players could be rested for others and thus keeping everyone fit and happy... tactics are same every match hes just so predictable... anyway we all love wenger but he's time is up... we all know that
Arsenal risk loosing
Players like Ozil, Sanchez, Wilshere and Berllern will
leave the club next
season.
Wilshere should have been brought in to create and add danger, speed to our game, Walcot some more and Giroud if needed... Ozil being supposed to sit apparently... So, it is no referee, but a team as reflecting manager... If owners and Wenger himself do not get a huge container of coffee, we will finish 12 and he will be doing the walk of shame,
leave himself remembered as a loser... What they need to do NOW is bring Henry to assist him and do the job, boost, get
players focused with winning spirit he has in him... Then wenger can sit all
season long, bench himself as he does and watch henry do the running and screaming as other manager dio... Then we will be in top 3, meaning third; there's now way to ctach up the Manchesters and if we do nt wake up now, we will fight for fourth place; the spurs will distance us and fight for second or third.
Had he
left 2
seasons back, i wud hav been in support of dis, but since we have actually started spending (d board is finallly giving funds), around # 100 million in 2
seasons, also we haven't sold any of our top
players in dat time, i m in favour of Wenger staying.
There's basically no sense in allowing a
player leave for free.The disgraceful thing is he's our best
player and you're letting him go for free.PSG have also given us the chance to include Lucas Moura / Blaise Matuidi in the deal.Why not take Matuidi and run.Then go all out to find his replacement before the
season starts.I just don't see sense in keeping him.Common sense tells us that he should be sold.You're not granted the title with or without him and just so you know, teams have won the EPL with wingers who are not better than Sanchez.Arsene should be smart before it's too late.I said weeks ago that if he knows in his heart that he's going to sell he had better do it quickly before teams start placing mammoth prices on their
players as they'll know that desperation of suitors grows towards the end of the window.
This
season I don't think that there are any more hiding places or excuses
left for Prof. Wenger for not buying the WC
players needed to help Arsenal achieve victories in all major cups (well at least the league and another cup, and not the usual 4th place in the league victory)...
The German pundit said, «Over the last few
seasons, Mikel Arteta has been doing that job — and, with all due respect to Mikel, he is a
player who used to be given a free role on the
left by Everton.
Cat b = missed out on schnederlin Bender Sven or lars (15 - 18m both are experienced and better than our options and approaching peak) Biglia (12 - 15m linked with Man U very good
player a long term wenger target) Motta (8 - 10m experienced, leadership skills, could be first choice for couple
season, ready to
leave psg)
Football was never about loyalty.It's just a choice.We'll always mention how loyal some
players were but won't mention how loyalty has finisbed the careers of some
players.Such
players stay in the team and waste their talent till they can no more longer reproduce their ability instead of moving for better chances.I know you know what I mean.One such
player is Jack Wilshere.If he had
left Arsenal
seasons back there was a high chance that he'd have been world class since his injuries would've have been greatly reduced.I'd likd to see top
players who are loyal to average teams for me to call them truly loyal since it's far more easier to be loyal to top teams.
The 25 - year - old is not a natural in that position, having started out as a right - back before making the move to the opposite side in the 2013/14
season, and it may be that manager Jose Mourinho would favour a
left - sided
player for that role, allowing Azpilicueta to slot back in at right - back.
We saw the likes of City being punished last
season with the squad reduced to 21 instead of 25, and some top
players like Jovetic were
left out of the Champions league squad.
Wenger had to re-build every
season because of
players leaving, Wenger still made everyone believe he could challenge even though realistically his squad was as good as Spuds and Everton.
His experience at such a young age and us having one of the best playmakers in the game makes me think he'd be a perfect fit, although I am worried it could take a
season to adjust in which case I hope we can get enough goals from other
players, maybe even play sanchez up top, if we don't win something this
season players will be
leaving.
we should
leave ozil alone, i know that he hasn't been at his best yet but i, d rather have him struggle now while the rest of the team is firing on all cylinders, it, s a long
season and i truly believe that he will come good when we are struggling & depending on him he, ll start racking up the numbers of assist, his slow start to the
season might be because after recovering from the euros it is taking him a bit longer to get going again compared to other
players but not to worry because» FORM IS TEMPORARY BUT CLASS IS PERMANENT».
Petition has been signed by myself but for heavens sake let's keep it away from the ground or we are going to have no
players left next
season.
Let's be realistic there is no replacement for Alexis so if we do go into the
season with him on our roster then we should go all out for the title while finding another
player to build around if (god forbid) he
leaves on free next year
We should have on average just over # 200,000,000 in our account when the
season ends, not all for transfers but take out # 130,000,000, plus
player sales & wages freed up it would
leave our team in great shape and not a lot needed in the future with transfers.
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... of course not because that manager would likely be fired and never work for a team of any consequence ever again
Giroud while a useful
player against certain teams can't do that and Walcott is a waste of space and money... Dybala might have been and Pedro probably is (though not a big fan and anyway don't think he'll
leave) Lucas might be or reus... But wenger better find someone decent for that position if we want to take on chelski and an improved man utd next
season
He has a better chance this
season than he had last one, Alexis was
left, and he had two
players ahead of him on the right.
Last week saw Arsenal complete the transfer of Mohamed Elneny from Basel and today we added a new contract for our Spanish
left back Nacho Monreal and while a lit of Arsenal fans are hoping for or expecting more from the club, with most of them hankering for another striker, Smith is not and he does not think we need any more
players to win the league this
season.
now we wait for Bayern and the
season will be have ended as usual in feb. pls
leave and take with you some of our present
players, mr stubborn = gooner for ever
It is of no use if Wenger
leaves the club and a new manager comes in and does not have quality
players to work with at the start of next
season.
