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

[field442]

Much more excitement behind Arteta for me. Feel he would attract better players just based on reputation and pedigree. I'll support Emery but I don't see us getting the caliber of players we need to compete. Comes off like the seriously piss poor version of Allegri.

What reputation and pedigree? He has no reputation outside of Pep and a few other people saying he has a “great mind”. You can’t seriously believe that.

He has as much pedigree as Alexis' dogs.

Working under Guardiola and Wenger. Them and Pochettino saying he'll be a great manager. I'm sorry, but Emery just doesn't do it for me. Hope I'm wrong.

I'f I'm a young, upcoming player, I would rather play for Arteta than Emery. Emery seems like the kind of appointment to allow us to slowly go into mediocrity and have the fan base become truly okay with it. I mean, we're talking not even FA cups, just qualifying for the Europa will be a commendable achievement.

Yes all these guys can talk and talk but the fact of the matter is he still hasn't managed a game in his life. None of them can see into the future.

I was all for Arteta as well, but right now we need an actual manager who has experience. Considering we're in the Europa league its a good idea to let Emery have a pop at that. See if we can get into the CL, then think about possibly appointing Arteta in the future.

What exactly is a "no nonsense" style of football? Are there really managers out there that have to turn to their players before a match and say "i want no nonsense from you lot today".

Must be one of the buzzwords to push Arteta like "young", "fresh", "exciting", "bold", etc.

You can't be serious? We had a current player in the team (Ramsey) say that Arteta wasn't ready to manage and you expect bigger and better players than him to give two ****s about one of Peps many assistants? The guy has no reputation or pedigree whatsoever...he literally has not managed, that makes no sense at all. I can understand not wanting Emery, but when your alternative is Arteta i'm out.

Don’t forget innovative. We’ve had someone say he’s no better than Wenger yet his approach to tactics and analysis makes Wenger look like an ancient fossil.

There's a door somewhere.

Working under someone doesn't give you reputation and pedigree. If that would count that highly Bould should swim in job opportunities.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

This will be a win-win situation for me. If Emery does great, then I can celebrate as an Arsenal fan. If Emery fails miserably, I can tell you all I told you so.

lol Logic and equivalencies at their finest.

The goal from 1:23 onwards, that's no nonsense. Just straight down to business, no time wasted by passing it back first. Great ballsy stuff, hope we get to see more of that.

Arteta isn't that, though, I think.

It would seem with the hiring of Emery it would be more appropriate for you to consider that door. You are making no sense. Arteta has pedigree and reputation? Where was it before he was linked with us? This is hilarious

Think people are underestimating Emery a lot. If we remove PSG he d probably be most wanted coach out there bar Allegri maybe. He didnt do so well there but you cant expect coach to succeed everywhere.

Important thing is he takes lot to tactics, video analysis and little things. Things we all felt we lacked massively last couple of years.

Players wanting to play more for him or Arteta are nonsense. He wont do much recruiting for sure, maybe express a wish for a player or two of his. We brought other people for this.

Important is he is great tactically and plays for a win now and anytime. I am tired of the mantra next year and listening that for years. I liked a lot last year his team against Arsenal, especially their positioning.

Allegri and Arteta were my top two choices for the job (I know... two complete opposites, but I never saw us getting the former). There's an air of excitement with the unknown and what others at the top of the game have said about him. Plus, he loves the club and wants to be here. I couldn't ask for much more. The lack of managerial experience doesn't bother me like it does most.

What’s Emery’s record with younger players?

Pretty decent, he was cash strapped at Valencia and made a good squad with young players. Villa, David Silva and Mata were in that sqaud.
