Ozil — obviously this player has some superior skills but his posturing is hard to swallow when things aren't going well... love his link up play with Sanchez, so just imagine if Wenger gave a shit about the Striker or right forward positions... I feel a bit
for him because he was liekwise given promises about our direction and they never materialized; that being said he needs to grow up sometimes and find a way to handle the pressure a little better... I wouldn't get carried away about locking him into a much higher
wage for any length of time if we aren't
planning to properly revamp the current club

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
I very much doubt that Real would pursue Sanchez unless they were contemplating moving Bale,
planning to play Ronaldo centrally this season and willing to upset their delicate
wage structure... of course anything is possible, but this appears to be unlikely... the bigger question is the fact that Wenger was willing to risk losing the first few games of the season because he hasn't settled the Sanchez dilemma in a timely fashion... no one believes he was too injured to play so this is not too dissimilar from the Liverpool game last season, except
for the fact that Sanchez was in street clothes and not in his warm - ups (much like Coutinho
for Liverpool today)... we're existing in such a fragile environment because of Wenger and Kroenke... in the game yesterday, when Leicester scored to make it 3 - 2, you could cut the tension with a knife... can you imagine just
for a second what the reaction might have been if we had failed to score in the last 10 minutes
