Bring back George Graham

From the end of last season wenger shoud hae been trying to offload Bendtner, Eboue Suillci, Almunia etc to raise money. The fact that he’s having problems selling thm suggests two things:
1. They are noy good enough for the premier league.
2. They have been given exteneded/new contracts on big salaries without having hit the hieghts that warrents bening offered those contracts.

Who is at fault? His judgement mustbe called into question. He needs help. Ifhe refuses sack him. A a club,we cannot afford to make such basic errors.

No player should be allowed to enter the penultimate year of his contract never mind his last year. 

Didnt knew that best EPL defence in open game need CB9without their best defender), and  that set-pieces can be solved with 1 CB… Superman maby?

It’s pretty ridiculous for them to term it “unforgivable” with a month left in the transfer window. I suppose you can’t help being caught up in transfer media hype as a sports journalist but the hyperbole is well over the top.

I have stated before he has no intension of signing a defender.He always leaves it to the last day or so of the transfer window,puts in low bid to which they have already turned down and says i tried. I am along arsenal supporter we haven’t been able to defend for the last 3 seasons and thier is another one comming up. We won’t be in the top four this season and then board might do something about it. 

arsenal have just extended Sqillacci’s contract so they clearly never really had any interest in buying a new centre back. They bid an unrealistic amount for Jagielka, knowing full well they wouldnt get him, just to appease the fans.the board and especially Wenger have been telling lies for years

Dan, your right. It is stupid to call it unforgivable….Its bloody fucking unreal unforgivable!!

Wenger out….NOW!

wenger must go.  he has been entirely ineffective in the transfer window.  everyone knows we need a keeper an a centre half and that nasri and fabregas no longer want to play for us.  he has been hesitant and indecisive and our only meaningful signing is a tricky winger.  good – but not what we need.  wenger is a genius and is our greater ever manager, but he has now been at the club too long.

All Wenger and the board do is lie to the fans. Wenger stated he likes concluding his transfer activites early – does that mean no more signings? Gazidis states we will be very active in tranfer window with next week being last week before season starts and no signings yet. All these technically gifted players we’ve got yet no other club wants to buy them – Denilson, Eboue, and self proclaimed best striker Bendtner! Are you cupping your ears now for any club after you!!

I don’t believe we will sign a player before start of season – Also no one seems to want to join if you believe the reports.

As for Djourou and Squillachi – no other club would want those liabilities!!

Wenger past his prime and has become obsessed in proving everyone wrong about needing  experience. He is the problem.

I don’t blame Fabregas and Nasri wanting to leave – they want to win things not just qualify into the champions league.

A panel consisting of columnists from The People, Daily Mirror and Daily Express!! Hahahaha.  Sadly the haters are lapping it up. When are these fools going to realise that they are taken for a ride by the gutters.

At 66 [my age] the virtuous ‘patience’ is and must be at the forefront!
We may all be surprised that what may just come out of the ‘hat’ in a week or sooner!

There are those of us who have a working brain and 2 eyes who do not have a need to be told by the gutter press that Arsene has lost the plot. 

Panic much?
One. Month. Left.

Next we’re going to hear about all the business Man U and Liverpool are doing, spending huge amounts on mediocre players like Phil Jones and Jordan Henderson while Arsenal sits idly by. Or City buying yet another striker they don’t need because they can.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Why would he bid low for Jagielka to appease fans? You think he actually cares enough to do that? I’m quite sure he was hoping to get him for that price. It’s called “negotiating”.

1. The only thing Arsenal needs in a centre half is one on the same level as Djourou or Koscielny, perhaps better heading ability. All he needs is to be better than Squilacci
2. Arsenal’s problem isn’t its defence, it’s that the attack couldnt ramp up the pressure when they went behind. United dropped a bit more from winning opositions but coming from behind, United wins hands down. Nick an early goal and defend deep and narrow and you’ll beat Arsenal. The important signing for the season has already been done.

The nonsense coming out of these so called pundits’ mouths makes my blood boil. I was disappointed how John Cross became just one of them when the going got tough. I wouldn’t want him anywhere near the Arsenal Fan’s forum.

this moron’s article attracted the typical mob of unwashed armchair gooners with a small ‘g’.

yet you would no doubt have been cheering Bendtner when he scored goals? Same for when Squill scored the only goal against Stoke at the Emirates last season? Also, the reports you refer to, exactly what are the proportions of facts to unsubstantiated cobblers contained in these reports you set so much store in?

Even if we’d won every trophy going, Fab would still want to leave because he believes barcelona are desperate for him to join them. Nasri is a different case; he is clearly motivated only about money. As much as it hurts me to type, but f**k ‘em, both. And you and all your gloomers.

Every footballing institution has to change – or be removed. Even Sir Matt Busby was moved “upstairs”. Wenger is incapable of changing. His style of play is never adapted to the opposition. His teams have no plan B. Passing into tight areas will always cause unnaturally high numbers of wrenching injuries to key players. Defensive coaching seems lacklustre. He has blind faith in very average players who constantly fail to meet his aspirations. The conveyer belt of young players for the future means that Arsenal is more a stable for young talent than a team constructed for victory. The team has no spine – and the Manager opts for similar types of small, gifted players rather than the physical power needed to give the team a backbone. And then there is the confidence trick of promises that the club can’t or won’t fulfil – the con is to charge the highest prices in the world and spend as little as possible on the team whilst promising transfer activity which in truth entails making hopeless offers for experienced players. The con however is apparent to the players too: exit Fabregas and Nasri. All this is Wenger’s fault. He can’t change and the price will be very high. This will be his last season.

Exactly how well do you know Samir Nasri to make such a definitive statement and yet question another persons opinion on other players. Wenger asked us to judge him in May and I think anyone would be hard pressed to suggest the second half of last season was anything short of a shocker. That does not immediately mean we rip up his contract but if you then evaluate what both he and Gazidis said we now have a situation where they have made statements that cannot be swept back under the carpet if they do not deliver.  They still have four weeks to do something. We are not football managers and we do not have the full “inside” story so however inept it may seem to not have new signings in place for Champions League Qualifiers that will shape our entire season and tough early games in th ePremier League, we must still reserve judgement. BUT if they are not “active in the transfer window” and the defensive frailities remain and players, on long lucrative contracts that absolutely no other decent club in Europe seem to want, continue to underperform, blow leads and go missing when the pressure is on, then they should step aside. There is only one man who is responsible for the performance of Arsenal FC and that is Wenger. If they achieve then all credit should be given If they fail he should stop “spinning” his post match comments and own up. We pay the highest ticket prices in the wrold I believe. If they can be justified with players contracted who care for the club and are willing to fight for the shirt, after all there is no way to gurantee a trophy in sport, then all is well and good. Of course with blind faith and no desirte to hold the custodians of Arsenal FC  accountable for their performance I think very little will ever change at The Grove.

Won’t be surprised at all if in the end, Arsene Wenger does not buy any commanding and reliable defenders at all this Transfer window! This would be a great letdown to Arsenal’s ardant fans, bearing in mind that there are quite a number of fans who are already holding back buying their season’s tickets. 

Agree wholeheartedly with Goonerick, the fans are treated like “loyal fools” who cannot wait to pay their money to the club , regardless! I stopped going 3 years ago, when I saw the writing on the wall, no proper captaincy or spirit, no proper importance placed on goalie or central defenders, and no budget for players, regardless of all the lies from the Board. I would like to lose 20,000 “bums on seats”, just, for one season(or no Champions League place this season) then see what happens at Board level???  It is atrocious it has come to this, it is the worst period since Graham left, Rioch arrived and before Wenger, at least we had Dein there who brought players in like Berkamp and Platt, then Wenger. Since Dein left the club has gone down and down. Great stadium, I preferred the football at Highbury, give me both back, any day!

I think  A W and the bord want money and spending is not includede in their plans! It’s not the matter of changing or adapting it’s just the choice their made to encrease profit! So gooners, let’s hope they will plan to make a new investment, why not by bringing in new players? or we all know what will happen (another disapointing season and some excuses from the mannager that we were too close and blah blah blah…)

I think all the Arsenal fans are missing the big picture. Nothing will be done this season and Arsenal may slip to fifth, because of the big deal has to come first.

Presently Arsenal is owned by two billionaires (Kronke & Usmanov). One is as tight as a ducks a** and not really interested in the whole Arsenal thing. And the other is throwing tables and chairs at the board because they are not spending money which he is dying to do.

Kronke has realised that Usmanov wants the club bad, so he will wait then ask him to pay 14000 pounds per share and make a cool 350 million pound profit.

Only when this deal is done then, the action starts.

Usmanov will be the new owner with David Dein as his right hand. He will give the new manager not Wenger a hundred million and tell him to spend it.

This will all hapeen next season after the Manager triangle is completed. Mouriniho goes to ManU, Wenger goes to Real Madrid, Pep Comes to Arsenal.

Only then the dymanics of Arsenal will change 

You stopped going 3 years ago? Wow what a fan you are it starts to go a little bit bad and your gone. Your not a proper fan, yes will all frustrated with the board and Wenger and they running out of time but I will still be going to arsenal every week whether we are winning the league, mid table or fighting for relegation because I love the club no matter what. Its not all doom and gloom because we are in the top 4 and teams like Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton would kill to be in our position. We have the best stadium in the country we play the best football in the League. Get a grip it hasn’t always been this good. Do you remember the shit we used to watch it hasn’t always been this good. Arsene Wenger made this club what is today and gave us teams and memories like the Invincibles and the 2002 double winning side so i am prepared to give Wenger a bit more time. Go and support Citeh or Chelski if its all so bad

I appreciate what you are saying Gooner1, yes Wenger changed things at Arsenal and created history, but that was 6 years ago! and that is the reason why he is still there now because of what he did years ago not for what he did now. How much more time should he be given?

Look,I love the club as much as you do,but don’t believe we have the team capable of winning things. the League cup was our best chance against a relegated team, but we bottled it.

I would love to be proved wrong! but somehow I can’t see us improving from last year.

Furthermore I agree teams live Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton would kill to be in our postion, unless we improve in defence, sort out our midfield issues, they may well be in our position, at our expense.

Finally I would like to respond to George Smiley.

Yes Fabregas always stated he would return one day to Barcelona, but I don’t think he intended to do it at 24 or had it in mind when signing a long term contact that his intentions were to leave half way through! He wants to be part of the current Barcelona team as their team will go down in history for the way they play and trophies they have won, before it is too late, as they won’t be world beaters forever!

If Arsenal had been world beaters, don’t you think he would want to leave now, or part of that history? Wenger had the chance when we became the invincibles, to go on and dominate, but since then we have taken steps backwards, not forward on the playing front!

As for Nasri, seriously, only about money? Yes it would help and had the board offered a world class player, world class pay!

You sometimes have to pay for the best. Imean after all, didn’t Wenger get a pay rise last year?

And why did he deserve that? because of all the trophies? Perhaps he is the greedy one! He thinks he is bigger than The Arsenal!

So regarding “f**k ‘em, both. And you and all your gloomers”. Back at yer!

These are worrying times for us!

Board! What board? Arsene has the board in his pocket. He’s untouchable and having a job for life.

Sorry Gooner1, its those “blindly loyal” supporters like you that has made AW, the Board and the Club’s lack of spending and fibs so easy to get away with. First of all let’s not forget that the “Invicibles” were half Wenger and half Graham, with a sprinkle of David Dein ‘s Berkamp purchase, which lit the fuse. I love Arsenal as much as any other supporter, but refuse to have the micky taken out of me by a Manager and Board who think they can treat me like a naive “cloth cap” from the  days packed on old football terraces.. I didn’t support the club because it had a great stadium, that was a nice bonus, but not worth this cloak and dagger stuff we have been fed. If we do not wish to spend the money, which is so obviously the case, treat the supporters with respect and tell them so! The manager is not a Stalin or a dictator, if he is wrong, which AW so obviously has been in the past 3 years, he has to listen to his peers and yes indeed at times the supporters who could also see the errors in his purchases and lack of focus on the defence and weak captaincy. As supporters we have a choice, not to support or not, that is unconditional, but whether to pay our money, that is our choice and this has undoubtedly been abused and taken for granted. It is not the bad I am unhappy about, it is being taken for granted and taken for a ride, if you cannot see that and enjoy paying good money regardless of how the club treats you, then enjoy, but personally I am not with you!

Fabs gone, Nasri to go……….Wenger believed that both would stay as he’s a great believer in loyalty and he couldn’t see they would treat him thus.  Pity hes so blinkered.
Wengers belief in his system of football is so ingrained that he is not able to  change.   He will always be buying young, small technically gifted footballers who are always “about to deliver”.  
And never do.
I believe it was a board decision to agree that the term “success” was defined as “champions league football and anything else is a bonus”.
To that end Wengers term has been “successful”.
As an Arsenal fan of many years the most depressing thing to watch is a team that has no pride, that wears the shirt with no belief and plays with no heart and passion.   How many other teams have you seen throw away a 4 nil lead, and implode with monotonous regularity 8 to 10 games before the end of the season?
How many other Managers, give so many chances to so few players who so seldom deliver with such high rewards? (oh and extend their contracts???)

Would Ferguson allow Man U to start the defence of their title with their two best players leaving and with major gaps in the team – or The Special One or King Kenny?

NO and a thousand times NO.

Will there be Champions league football this year?
Come to that next year?

Wengers time is over – he should do the decent thing….resign now
