@btcapital…the solution is simple : Wenger HAS TO GO !
Havent you guys had enough of his stuff? “Arsene Knows” they say…
well he only “knows” how to blow away leads and titles.
he’s done a fairly good job with what he has been given over the years but its time for a new manager.
Also, i personally don’t think the Sneijder deal is going to happen. seems kinda a lot of $$ to pay up when u’ve already spent over 50 mn pounds
 
OTOH, if MU is getting Sneijder, it could mean Nasri won’t leave…
I disagree with your criticism of Wenger, yeah he’s cheap, and I don’t think he’s that great at picking up young talented prospects (despite his reputation, he’s missed out on tons), but who’s going to be better than him?
 
aaaaah the old argument against firing wenger ” who will you get thats better” ………………………at this point we just need some new management blood.
 
when Arsenal hired Wenger, he came from the J-league and was the joke of the footballing world but he turnd out quite okay. whats to say it cant happen again?
 
That’s because Arsenal as it exists today IS Arsene Wenger. The days before him are practically the stone age for Arsenal fans. 75% of Arsenal fans would ditch Arsenal for ManCity if they went back to those times.
That and Arsenal just doesn’t have the talent to compete for the top levels, and when AW goes, the playing style will go with him…
 
Arsenal has no “economic moat” the way Liverpool, ManU, Barca, Real, Milan, Bayern etc do. They are not historically a big club and fans will go somewhere else when AE leaves.
 
It’s not Wenger’s fault. It’s the board’s fault entirely. For years now we’ve been under the illusion that there’s been money available. The top 4 has been good enough to fill the board’s pockets and now its over the Kroenke.
Wenger is not a dumbass. He might be stubborn and tactically naive, but he knows there are better players the Eboue and Squillaci out there. he only bought Squillaci last minute last year becuase Subotic backed out last moment…
The guy’s had some tough breaks… Birmingham with Eduardo’s leg break (and the penalty that never was by Clichy), the poor officiating in the Sunderland game, the mix up in the CC final…
He is a genius. Other managers KNOW he doesn’t have the money. It’ll all come out once he retires.
 
They should get rid of Cesc and Van Persie. They are injured way too much to be focal players of EPL clubs. The pace and the style is much to rigid for them. I’m not sold on the prospects of Gervinho but we’ll see.
 
They should sell Cesc if they can get a good price for him. See if they can pick up Mascherano or David Villa in the deal.

wow…i reeeeaalllly doubt if Barca will want to swap Villa for Cesc !
also, on your point about Arsenal being in the stone age and “Boring” are true…i agree. Arsenal were known for their “1-0”s wid Tony Adams and Martin Keown being the stars.
BUT where is Wenger taking the club right now? 6 years without a trophy? it surely cant hurt to try someone new. and i doubt that any Arsenal fan would support Citeh over Arsenal if AW leaves. let alone 75% !
