£300m ffs

We're lucky if you spend 300m Yen

He's right about Holding you know. If he cost 25M and came from Inter Milan, everybody would be praising him.

He is right about holding. He had a good game today.

But he should also realize that the squad needs reinforcing severely

 

[David_Smith]

It's too early to think about the title. We got a decent result today and hopefully we can build on it.

This is gallant and sad at the same time. Yes, Arsenal is a family (from the players to the cleaners), but we are run as a business. Our main objective is to turn a profit, not win trophies. Arsène has lost the plot.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

No way he can continue if people are chanting against him every week. He will resign (is that his choice? Perhaps) But Wenger talks as if he is dictator for life.

People have been chanting at him for years. At this point it's all down to to him to decide.

I do think this might be his last season if we don't make progress (I said this when he signed his current deal), but it won't be due to anything the fans do or say. If that were the case he'd be gone years ago.

I don't think anybody's really unhappy about Holding, are they? The old goat is just knocking down a straw man.

Buying Rob Holding and him playing well when there are injuries to first-teamers doesn't paper over a decade's worth of cracks and a lack of ambition elsewhere in the transfer market.

 

[MLK79]

Yeah Ox definitely still has it all to prove. Looking better than he ever has at the moment though I think.

I think Mahrez will be off next year, doesn't look that inspired even after signing that new deal. As for Alexis... I dunno. He showed he can be a killer for us in his first year, but sometimes I watch him and wonder if he's the right fit for how we play.

I'm not a big fan of Alexis. I think he slows our game down too much. And most times he dribbles into trouble instead of just passing to a teammate. I'd probably even drop him and leave Ox and Walcott out wide with Giroud in the centre.

Simply put, Özil is the best player in our squad with Kos in second.

 

[carlito'sway]

I like Wenger but **** me, he makes it really difficult for himself sometimes

And I blame the club as well for that....Their overall communications / messaging is just horrendous.

What the fvck does he mean?

I think what he is saying is true. Fans are mostly influenced by media. I mean look at Liverpool and the support they give to there coaches. They go through the cycle of new coach - optimism- excitement at signings- some moderate success- then the downward slope ending with fans calling for the managers head. This happens in most clubs. And a lot of times owners are influenced by media and fans as well. Creating a negative spiral as AVB would put it. Media wants arsenal to go through the same **** storm.

Looking at Our fans singing wenger out, and i say there is now way he'll turn that around, he can sign messi and Ronaldo and it won't change anything, he is setting him self up for 9 months of abuse, he should walk away now, coz thing are. Going to get ugly

 

[Stumped]

What the fvck does he mean?

Utd, City, Real, Barca, Bayern and all use slave labour.

 

[Rimaal]

No, he's not right. We've seen him play. Nobody's saying he's not a good signing, but he's not good enough for us yet. Not yet. He needs at least another year. He shouldn't be starting in the PL. He should be subbed during Cup games, then started in cup games, then maybe started the odd PL game against an easy team. He shouldn't be starting now. Not yet.

Oh please, that same bunch of fans have been doing it for 8 years, more or less on and off depending on the fluctuation of results.
Wenger is made of stern stuff. He knows the true Arsenal faithful are behind him.

What the fvck does he mean?

A really big signing will impact the club's ability to pay its employees. It's another red herring anyway, nobody said he has to spend £300m.

 

[noon]

What the fvck does he mean?

It means If we sign a striker we can't pay the dinner lady 9.80 an hour According to him.

 

[Rimaal]

Pics or didn't happen.

OK. Give me a sec.
