Not exact matches
so I don't care wherever
club he goes to or even if he
remains at Liverpool..
If Young Bill Buchan Jr., the Seattle skipper who piloted a Luders 16 to a clear - cut victory in the annual North American Sailing championships,
remains anything close to the coolheaded, calm - browed competitor he was this last week
at the Grosse Pointe Yacht
Club, it is going to take some
doing to beat him in future races.
well Man united have and Man city have and perhaps chelski may, the fact is we are NOT a top four
club at present and the fact also
remains that most of the afore mentioned actually don't NEED to add to their squads due to being very active in previous windows there wont be any activity as there are NO plans to add in this window and its got nothing to
do with traditionally NOT buying and everything to
do with the «Bargain basement2 mentality that Wenger and the board have always adopted and in todays market your NOT going to get the sort of top notch players we need to actually change for a rock bottom price same old Wenger same old Arsenal
The Villains
remain insistent that they won't
do any business unless Benteke's # 32.5 millon release clause is met, but they could face the prospect of an unhappy player
at the
club next season should the Reds refuse to match the valuation.
It
remains to be seen whether or not a deal can be
done though as it will undoubtedly be a controversial one given the rivalry between the two
clubs, and ultimately
at this stage it would seem unlikely.
Thierry Henry has said it all, that there's is a problem in arsenal, there was a time he don't even relate with his teams mate and he question why Sanchez will
remain at arsenal after the display against Liverpool, I have said it before the big issue on ground is not money that the player are demanding but the ambition of the
club... henry also said, when u are playing for arsenal u are comfortable whether u are playing well or not because there's no pressure on u....
His contract runs until the end of next season and Wenger has already spoken out about that situation, stating that he
does not know whether he will still be
at the
club after next season and that it will be up to the
club officials, players and fans to decide whether he will
remain after 2017.
The newspaper claim that the 23 - year - old
does not feel as though he can fulfil his potential if he were to
remain at the north London
club, and could request a transfer.
why was Sanchez truly playing... no one believes he was too injured to play to start the season, and some like myself would go as far to suggest he wasn't injured
at all... so why play him... they can't say it was to appease the fans because when was that ever a factor
at this
club except when «panic buys» were in the offing... I believe that this was to give Arsenal a little leverage when it comes to negotiating his transfer... just imagine their horrible bargaining position if Sanchez never saw the field before the deadline then heading back to South America and played for Chile... regardless of the facts, this was sadly again another example of a team putting business ahead of fielding a team with the greatest chance to secure 3 points... of course, some will say that Sanchez is, or was, our best player, so obviously he's a no - brainer to start, but those who really watch the game know that his heart hasn't been truly in it for quite some time... even
at the end of last season you could see a definitive difference between the Sanchez who played for Chile and the one that played for Arsenal... that being said, 70 % of Sanchez is still better than a 100 % of the vast majority of our
remaining roster... shame on you Arsene and shame on you too Sanchez for that telling smirk... I've supported your attempt to push this squad to the next level but don't pretend for a second that you didn't know you were being watched... don't lower your standards or you'll end up like this
club, on the outside looking in
While the forward has won more than either man
at club level, he hasn't won the World Cup — falling
at the final hurdle with Argentina in 2014 — and failure to
do so risks
remaining as an albatross that looms large over the player's legacy.
It
remains to be seen if Benitez
does get a second crack
at the whip, but for now Jurgen Klopp is the man in charge tasked with bringing back success and trophies to the
club.
Only Wenger himself knows what mind games he's playing
at the moment, but even a fool can tell you that there's more harm
done than good by keeping hold of a player who doesn't want to
remain at the
club.

St Mary's boss Ronald Koeman
did well to keep hold of Schneiderlin and his south - coast side have started the current season in superb fashion, securing seven points from their first four Premier League fixtures and given that Southampton sit in fourth spot in the table one imagines the long serving midfielder may elect to
remain at the
club.
Debuchy on the other hand,
does not supposedly have any
clubs lining up for him and so his foreseeable future looks likely to
remain at Arsenal.
So, personally, I don't think we will land Draxler because we are too slow and
at this point, there will be too many other
clubs competing for the last
remaining excellent players (Lemar, Seri, Draxler etc..)
With Arsene Wenger having been left little room to make Arsenal's last transfers for the season and the
club itself being sunk in its worst crisis, we wonder what Wenger will
do with his
remaining squad if he seems to have lost his negotiating vigour of his first years
at Arsenal.
He has previously spent time with Chelsea after being invited over for a week long trial with the west London
club in 2011, and though he didn't
do enough to secure a move
at the time interest in his development has
remained high.
Many don't remember that Sanchez was reported early in the year to have said that he would leave Arsenal if Wenger
remains at the
Club.It was the
Club that issued a statement denying that but I
did not read anywhere that Sanchez himself denied the statement.
Personally I think we could see Jenkinson
remain at Arsenal this year and then if he doesn't play regularly enough, then he could find himself wanting to move on from Arsenal, no matter how much he may loves the
club.
there is some suggestion that wenger is backtracking on his fervent stance regarding what players would be staying
at the
club for the remainder of the season... some might deduce that this is all part of a much bigger, more elaborate plan... by shifting the blame wenger is attempting to, not so slyly, flip the narrative... by
doing so he hopes to evoke empathy from his most ardent supporters, while attempting to rally any fence - sitters, whose faith was waning unless a more legitimate agent of blame emerges... unfortunately, and incredibly insulting to the fans, when wenger attempts to spin a tale and / or tries to eat his own words, he doesn't seem to play it all the way through in his head, so invariably gaping holes emerge... say we believed his version of the truth, would that not make him either an incredibly well - paid custodian of destruction or a spineless jellyfish because what manager worth his weight in salt would stay
at a
club that didn't give him final say after 20 years of supposed «success»... no matter the answer, neither bodes well for us... how ironic, in a way, since many pundits claim this team has lacked a «spine» for some years now... so whether we win, lose or draw on Sunday is frankly immaterial, as the problems will
remain, and although it will be easier to digest if we left the Pool with 3 points, it might just be the worst result for the betterment of this
club... a fact that both breaks my heart and baffles the mind
And frankly, I don't think you are half as interested in that as much as you are in seeing that your idol
remain at the
club (which isn't a bad thing anyway).
Nevertheless, Gazidis addressed the situation when asked about it
at the
club's Annual General Meeting on Monday, and although he didn't go into detail, he painted a positive picture in that he suggested the
club will
do their utmost to ensure the star pair
remain for many more years.
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...
Still, it
remains a long way from
done and it's not even clear if Arsene Wenger would necessarily pay Monaco's # 90m asking price, which would smash the
club's transfer record, currently
at the # 46.5 m fee paid for Alexandre Lacazette over the summer, as per BBC Sport.
It has
done little to dampen the growing disharmony
at the
club, with fans continuing to be divided over Arsene Wenger's future as manager as he
remains silent over what his plans are.
I have been saying it for the last 2 years that ozil is a average player he has one year
remaining on is contract and seem not to be very happy with the situation
at arsenal so why is there not one offers for him not even not even a rumor what top ten in
club in Europe can you play for maybe on the bench he doesn't fit the new system so get rid of him Riyad mahrez is a better fit for where ozil going to play he take on defender dribble shoot pass on score 150 a week salary would be good enough for him instead of 300 for Ozil
do nt care if you win every game
remaining -
does nt change anything in my mind theres alot wrong
at this
club, stadium ran like the kremlin, ridiculous prices, poor recruitment policy, insane wage structure.
This is a decent article, yet the negatives from fans are still there, I would love to see arsenal like I
did at the end of the 90's and
at the beggining of the 2nd millennium but it doesn't mean in order to
do so I would buy all the best players in world, I would get a rich owner to put his filthy money in, change the manager every 2 years to
do so, there's so much wrong in football nowadays that yes it's still a sport but there's more focus on the filthy amounts of money being spent on
clubs and players that I think attracts more attention than the game itself, now that is wrong and it's very wrong, even our owner though not like the arabs or Russians, yet the yank is clueless about the tradition of our game, it's just sad, so the fact that Wenger has
remained for this long through all these changes that have occurred whilst the money game has elvolved, it makes me happy that arsenal
do not spend stupid amounts of money on players, we don't try and buy the league, hell we even tight with wages and transfer fees, I'm glad it's like that, though our season ticket is a rip off I still don't mind it because
at least we are not like the other supreme teams, there's a bit of tradition left
at our
club, yet you go to man shitty or Chelski, there is no tradition, it's all about buying ur way all the way to the top, on the other hand spuds don't know what to make of them besides how the heck have they finished above us?
In truth i
do not think we need Walcott no more, however i think he will
remain at the
club, so i hope he will get some confidence ad start producing again
He will quite likely suit the Premier League down to the ground given his physicality and
at a
club like Swansea, while they
remain somewhat of an unknown, they
do like to play relatively stylish football with Glyfi Sigurdsson pulling the strings and they always have room for a big, strong number nine.
@Enemy airships, Appreciate your opinion too mate but when you point to Vieira, Petit, Pires, Anelka, etc as French players who have acheived
at the
club from relative obscurity there are a number of things to consider such as the fact that few of these players
done more than 4 seasons
at the
club where pool, utd and chels were buying quality that have
remained and driven their
clubs forward.....
They don't oversee much of the
club's day - to - day running, but
remained patient with Van Gaal through the tumultuous months that ended 2015 on a sour note and their primary concern is that of Champions League football — for the financial benefits — with the duo not overly fussed about the brand of football employed
at Old Trafford as long as it equates to results.
Nevertheless, there
remains an underlying tension
at the
club following a disappointing transfer window and the sacking of director of recruitment Tony Henry following claims he told agents they
did not want to sign any more African players.
Once one of the most eagerly awaited weekends in the football calendar it doesn't now have quite the same appeal,
at least for the top
clubs, but continues to offer romance to those further down the pyramid and
remains one of the best opportunities of silverware for mid-table Premier League
clubs such as West Ham.
Rahman
does have another four - years
remaining on his Chelsea contract but his future
at the
club under the stewardship of Antonio Conte
remains in doubt.
They got a brilliant midfielder (Henrikh Mkhitaryan) for a winger who didn't want to
remain at the
club (Alexis Sanchez) and had his contract expiring
at the end of the season in a swap deal with fierce Premier League rivals.
There was a lot of speculation regarding the Sanchez and Ozil's future
at the North London
club and it seems that the fans don't want their star duo to
remain at the Emirates stadium any longer than January.
We're still to be convinced by this Blackburn & Steve Kean relationship, while we're deeply concerned with the unrealistic targets the
club's owners has set for the team, but if they can conjure wins from out of nowhere, as they
did during the week
at West Brom, then they will
remain something of a red herring in betting terms.
«I can tell the Liverpool supporters that we, as a
club, have
done everything within our means to convince Philippe that
remaining part of LFC was as attractive as moving to Spain, but he is 100 per cent certain his future — and that of his family — belongs
at Barcelona.
Secondly, I didn't know that a player's
remaining contract
at a
club can be paid for, plus his transfer fee by the
club that wants to sign the player if the two
clubs involved agree to that kind of arrangement.
However, the argument
remains that he is arguably the fourth - choice centre - back
at the
club, and below him is Cameron Carter - Vickers,
do Spurs need five centre - backs?
The rumour is Villa want Stephen Ireland in exchange, as well as large pot of gold, but there's a disturbing pattern forming here and if Villa
do give in to City's pursuit of Milner, as well as the players own demands to leave the
club, then it sets a terrifying precedent for the
remaining stars
at Villa Park that anyone and everyone is free to leave if they moan enough and a
club offers an insanely good amount of cash, which in this day and age is not rare.
Over 1,249 voted in the poll — a figure which gives a fair indication of feeling — with 448 (35.87 %) saying the jury
remains out on his time in charge
at the
club and the owners are better off waiting until the end of the term before
doing business.
He was thrown in
at the deep end, joining the Metropolitan Police (a
club formerly comprised solely of law enforcement officials but that now
remains merely affiliated as a semi-professional outfit) in England's seventh tier, and
did so well that he switched to National League side Solihull Moors (in the fifth tier) in January.
But if Le Prof
does allows Sanchez to
remain at Arsenal beyond this summer window without having him to extend his stay and will not cash in on a very big cash deal to sell him to a
club that's want him and he too wants to go there, wouldn't Le Prof be embarking on a huge gamble that could payoff if Arsenal win the PL title next season which will then justifies keeping him?
But the 33 - year - old could
remain at the
club for a while, given statements from his agent that Valdes
does not want to leave and the fact that - given his strong Barcelona connection - it may be difficult for him to play for another
club in Spain.
I continue to enjoy that CCH Pounder
remains on this show — I thought for sure they were going to kill her off
at the end of last season, but I guess once she heard David Strathairn was coming to SyFy she didn't want him to be lonely in the «Can't Believe They're On SyFy»
club.
