Life after Wenger | Ornstein: Arsenal set to appoint Unai Emery

[Keplaz]

We need someone who can coach a defensive unit. I think we have the raw materials necessary for a title challenging team without spending too much money. We need someone with tactical nous and who can manage a game. A few players here and there to add quality but I honestly think it's the mentality that needs to change and someone like Allegri would be perfect.

Arteta isn't ready and to be honest, this is a fanbase that's already on edge. The new manager isn't going to get loads of time. He needs to win from the off and if the wheels look like they are falling off by Christmas, there will be mutiny.

Aaron Ramsey to Sky last week about Arteta “I'm sure that one day when the time is right, he'll be a fantastic manager. It's still early days in his career at the moment."

Damn right. Future captain.

Wtf I love Ramsey now.

 

[Beksl]

What about Arry as a #2?

 

[dashsnow17]

If I had to put money on it I think it'll actually be Luis Enrique. Not sure why, just a hunch. I think reports saying he wants 15m a year and 200m to spend are exaggerated. There's the Sanllehi connection, he's been learning English and he won't want to wait forever to take another job. He may go to Chelsea tbf, but I definitely think he wants to cut his teeth in the PL.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Not going to lie. Ramsey has somewhat turned my head. I see a maturity about him on and off the field that seems to have truly blossomed this season. He still frustrates me at times but I am beginning to get on board with the notion that this could be due to tactics etc.

Want him to sign more than Jack at this stage, that is for sure.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

A remake with half decent cgi, and Armand looking Wengeresque would be a must see.

Hopefully he won't be caught uttering the infamous "I didn't see it"

 

[Mark Tobias]

Having mixed feelings now that the last game is approaching. I've never seen the man in person and the thought that I never will has suddenly become a real and horrible realisation.

If we get someone like Allegri or Jardim I would think the fanbase would get behind him and support him even when things go south, as long as it doesn't go too south. We know that these guys are not frauds and need time to get their magic into our blood. If we get Vieira or Arteta though the margin they'll be getting will be a lot less. Cause no one knows if they have what it takes to make sticking to them worth it.

 

[HBL]

The lack of Jardim links is disgusting, especially if we can’t get Allegri.

 

[Tosker]

it looks as if Piers Morgan is staying optimistic whoever the new manager is

[Camron]

Signs of Arteta.

Signs of Arteta.

Not necessarily. City kept Brian Kidd to work with Guardiola.

 

[Sammy1887]

Fanbase is so fractious... Whoever they appoint wont unite us - unless maybe it's Allegri. But if it is Arteta, which I'm okay with, people will jump on him much quicker than they ever did with Wenger. Think people should be patient. There will be a definite learning curve, but one that will pay off greatly in the long term.

Learning curve? You don't handover the reigns of the club to somebody who does not have any managerial experience. Wenger before he came to Arsenal had 12 years of experience.

 

[Garrincha]

Signs of Arteta.

Or Vieira!

MLS has a mini break for the World Cup on the June 14th & City play their last game before break on the 9th.

If its him would guess announcement then.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

I expect this to be announced next week. A steady 2-3 weeks before the World Cup. I'm thinking more and more that it will be Jardim and it's a choice i will be very pleased with. Hopefully he can bring Fabinho or Lemar with him.

 

[Sammy1887]

Allegri would need somebody from inside the club. (Hopes)

 

[Sanchez11]

I dont get the love for Arteta whatsoever!! Rose tinted glasses spring to mind.

 

[bingobob]

Once all the leagues and cup finals have been played I think that's when we will get our announcement.

 

[GDeep™]

Not necessarily. City kept Brian Kidd to work with Guardiola.

Did Pep tell them to keep him on though?

Keeping Bould on seems weird unless he’s been backed by the new manager.
