Looks like Rob Holding could be at the club soon. http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/deal-close-arsena...

Show real intent and go after BM's Lewandowski or Muller as it's rumoured that Pep can't have any BM players after his move to City, although I'm sure Anchelotti will likely keep hold of both.

Real intent? Or real naivety?

An interesting read from back in 2012... shows how we haven't moved on in 4 years (in fact, it could have been written by Alfahorn)

http://whitehouseaddress.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/my...

But does remember all those "bad" signings Wenger has made through the years

Holy Cra*p Batman,hasn't the penny dropped yet ? AW inherited a world beating side,but has failed on just about every level since then (apart from being a very good accountant).
If you reckon 2nd place last season was progress (considering the opposition) you are deluded.

What a ridiculous comment.How was it a world beating side when he took over? We were playing like Stoke at the time and finished 5th the season before he joined and had not won anything for 3 years. We wouldn't have won three titles after that if it wasn't for the players he brought in. And 49 unbeaten?!

His considered one of the best managers in the world by respected players, managers/ex managers and just about anyone who has a basic knowledge of football.

He could of walked into any job in world football in the last ten years and has rejected plenty of offers from top clubs (Real, PSG, Bayern) in that time.

I think you are forgetting that although Leicester finished above us, we still finished above Man city, Man utd and Chelsea.

It took Koeman a couple seasons to suss out how to combat the tippy tappy,pretty little triangles,possession with no end product stuff. Either that or play your most physical side and boss the lightweights off the park. We took a proper tonking off saints last time. There's plenty of other examples including Maureen,Fergie etc etc

...and so did Tottenham.

Liverpool, Southampton, Stoke and Wet Spam all finished above Chelsea.

Do you not think,that with the exception of Leicester,last season was a 'tallest dwarf' competition ?

Or Lukaku? open admits he wants away from Everton and we need exactly his type of player!

Not sure what your point is? So just because Koeman won 2 out of 4 games against us Wenger is st? What about the other 19 managers in the league that havent sussed him out? (We were the only team that beat leicester home and away).

There are still players coming to us now based on Wenger (Ozil, Xhaka, Sanchez, Cech etc). So I can take your view from your sofa with a pinch of salt.

That's quite debatable, you only have the 'corporate' public PR blurb to say that (and I don't recall AW being a factor cited by Cech either?) and there have been as many that have left because of him as well.

But, the those that are blind to the problems we have will always be blind to those problems....it's why we are where we are

Well they wouldnt of come if they didnt think they could win something with Wenger and they certainly dont share the same opinion as some on here.

I can see we have problems but getting rid of Wenger is no guarantee of things getting better (see Man U). ALL clubs have problems. Wenger is manager and nothing you say on here will change that.

I dont see why some fans get so wound up about it, whats the point?! Ive got better things to worry about.

why would they come to AFC to just qualify for CL ? They are at a winning club with a winning ethic.

be realistic ....

Of course I'm realistic to know they wouldn't want to come to us, but that doesn't stop me at least wanting to see us show intent to try get players like that.

Whats the point of that? Why waste time negotiating for players we are never going to get? Would rather we go for realistic signings.

Yeah far better to go for some cut price no-hopers so we can secure that 4th spot trophy again. There'll be some money left over for Wenger and his cronies to have another much deserved pay rise.

Arsene Wenger believes England striker Jamie Vardy will snub a move to Arsenal and stay at Leicester City.. In an interview with Chinese television, Arsenal boss Wenger said: "Jamie Vardy is, at the moment, at Leicester and from what I know, he will stay at Leicester."
