Arsene sitting on the edge of his seat looking every bit of distraught anytime the camera picked him…. he obviously knows somethings missing in this team and can’t help but be anxious. shit thing is he ain’t doing a damn thing about it.
This is only the beginning of woes. Arsenal will be dumped out of CL by Fenerbc and Wenger will be served right. It’s heartbreaking for us fans, but so be it! Was so looking forward to this season, now I am already wishing that it is over. Wenger keeps talking about “top top quality” … But he wants them for peanuts and as the saying goes, ” you give peanuts, you get monkeys”!
My friend forget about top quality players in arsenal squad.but there is quality players in the future of wenger transfer but we will never see those players.
Now we are just look what will be going on for Arsenal.
everything had been rumours always .And Arsenal always showing arther club good players to signing Like chelsea spurs those two clubs always they wait to see wich player arsenal need.Higuain Gustavo Suarez nothing comes true.is better arsene wenger to be queit if his not read to sign player.i not no how wenger fill to speak every time but hi doesnt do anything.i realy like arsenal but.oohhh.

Im in a management position at a company and if I fucked up my brand as badly as this management has smeared shit over our clubs pride and honour – I would fuckin resign, and if I wasn’t arsed enough to resign I would have been fired and kicked out the door
how the fuck are we still allowing this?
Whether or not he takes dividends or not the net asset value of Stans shares have benefited significantly – he is sitting very fuckin pretty the more players we sell.
yep, my opinion may not count because i don’t pay for a £2k season ticket, but that is one surefire way to send a message to Wriggler/Gaz/Stan. Don’t pay for something you don’t get a return from. Simple

I have been a Supporter for over 40 years…forget the emotions of the day – as a manager, any manager, to not be able to provide a service ‘fit for purpose’ is not acceptable. For Arsene Wenger after 16 years in charge to have a back four at the end of play on the first day of the season of Podolski-Mertsecker-Ramsey-Jenkinson is simply not acceptable…and with a crucial Champions League Qualifier this week and the lack of squad cover this is gross negligence. If I was accused of gross negligence in my job I would be sacked….

Hey, why don’t we try paying the amount of money for great players that the team selling that player agrees is enough for them to leave. In the real world, outside Arsenal, that is called ‘the price’. Crazy idea I know. Another crazy idea: If the arsenal transfer team can’t find better players than the ones we have, maybe the club needs people who can?

‘No quality player in the market’ – AW. Falcao, Gustavo, Pulinho, Cavani, Higauin, Jovetic,Ceaser, Negredo,etc are not quality players. We now know Wenger’s difination of ‘quality’ but that is not what we want. We want decent players that can guarante 3 points against decent opposition.
We want a team that will stop embarrassing us with their mediocre display.
We don’t want a coach that has no shame.

The window’s still open So we started off thin and we got so much thinner, suffering a suspect suspension, inumerable injuries and before the final insult, the penalty of a distinctly disputed winner. Unprepared to pay the price none could fail to count the cost, of our defensive frailty expertly exacerbated by the so called professionals who apparently officiated. Missing momentum would mean for us more than the three points were lost. But where were the reserves who ride to the rescue? Where were the next gen to do what they had too? Let go, on loan or simply transferred.… Read more »

I wanted Wenger out the Summer he Sold Fabregas as I could see the writing was on the wall. Gazidis only cares about securing lucrative sponsorship deals but he doesn’t want to re-invest in the team. Kreonke watches from afar and checks the books and balances, when he see’s a profit financial, thats success to him. Kreonke will not sack Wenger so long as he makes a profit for the greedy capitalist American.

Arsenal is being run like a corporate and AW is being a company man towing the line it seems. Though in post match interview he did say its not just him making the moves for players. I don’t blame him, I think those doing the deals are failing him. It’s a terrible way to be running the club, and the season that should have seen progress is looking like a shambles from the start.
I don’t know and I’m not totally sure about it but I also feel it can’t be just Wenger. Years after years it can’t be just him alone who decides not to bring in new players and sell our best ones. I mean all the players at AFC – even the ones that have left or have been sold – have huge respect for him; for me it doesn’t make sense. He can’t have lost it so fk***g badly. I don’t know why but I got this strong feeling something else behind the scene is going on here. Maybe Arsene… Read more »

Absolutely, it’s gazidis. CEO. If it was a corporate the shareholders would hold him to account, which in this case is the fans paying the ticket prices.
Let’s be honest, it already IS a corporate, but with a seemingly unaccountable executive. The football equivalent of Goldman Sachs, for example.

Yeah…there are quality players in the market but who really wants to join Arsenal and play along side players like Sagna, Jenkins, Ramsey, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs? Let’s get real.

The slide really started when we failed to replace Henry with a like-for-like player. I know we had serious financial restraints due to the construction of a new stadium, but that’s when things started to get slightly unbalanced. We sold our star players and replaced them with cheap players, injury-prone players, or ‘good prospects for the future’ players. Captain Cesc – not replaced; Captain Van Persie – not replaced (and sold to our fiercest rivals to rub salt into our already bleeding, pustulent wounds!) Had we beaten Villla, Wenger would have been temporarily vindicated for his total lack of movement… Read more »

AFC could have lost to Villa with or without new players. That can happen to anyone. I do see a much bigger problem which those in Management and some of us fans have refused to acknowledge. Arsenal has drifted back in terms of competitiveness to the point where its impossible to attract top talent. The secret approach to our transfer denies us access to the reality that most of our targets have actually turned us down. Success attracts success and sad as it may be, it’s a fact. Even with 50million, we shall find it difficult to attract top talent.… Read more »

I hope this ‘8-2s’ the transfers. While some were bad I’m very happy with Arteta, Mertesacker and how Benayoun helped.

The slide really started when we failed to replace Henry with a like-for-like player. I know we had serious financial restraints due to the construction of a new stadium, but that’s when things started to get slightly unbalanced. We sold our star players and replaced them with cheap players, injury-prone players, or ‘good prospects for the future’ players. Captain Cesc – not replaced; Captain Van Persie – not replaced (and sold to our fiercest rivals to rub salt into our already bleeding, pustulent wounds!)

How come a shit team like villa can hold on to its best player in benteke and we supposedly a top 4 team, just could not and would easily sell if anyone come knocking for our best players?

Something is wrong at the Gunners. I have gooten to the point where I dread… Read more »

AFC could have lost to Villa with or without new players. That can happen to anyone. I do see a much bigger problem which those in Management and some of us fans have refused to acknowledge. Arsenal has drifted back in terms of competitiveness to the point where its impossible to attract top talent. The secret approach to our transfer denies us access to the reality that most of our targets have actually turned us down. Success attracts success and sad as it may be, it’s a fact. Even with 50million, we shall find it difficult to attract top talent.… Read more »
Wenger Knows. One Arsene Wenger.
