ARSENAL: The Decline Continues

This year has been the worst start EVER in Le Professeur's reign as Arsenal's manager and most probably our worst start also in the history of the Barclay's Premier League!
I can imagine what Van Persie must be thinking by now! (Whew)
It hurts me to say this because I love Arsene as a person and indeed he has been Arsenal's most successful manager till date, but something has got to change! Either a policy change, change at the board or unfortunately Arsene himself.

I've been a fan of Arsenal for the past 15 years... From the days of Kanu Nwankwo, Davor Suker and Dennis Bergkamp.. The invincibles came and left... Yes it was all Wenger but WAAAY too many people forget that there was a DAVID DEIN who was the then Vice Chairman of Arsenal (later forced out of the board) who made the transfers happen and put all sorts of pressure on Arsene to win things..

Yeah yeah.. I know a lot of arsenal fans will get upset with me for what I'm about to say but COME ON GUYS! Something has got to give! Wenger IS NOT under any pressure from the board so that's why we are in this current state!

Wenger remains THE BEST when it comes to raising young talent but quite frankly he really does need a firm kick up his ass!

How I miss the days of Thierry Henry who created goals out of absolutely nothing! Not to mention last season's Robin Van Persie who is probably the best center forward in modern football. Ah yes! We sold him for "footballing reasons" according to IVAN GAZIDIS!


Ok so what's the solution? We need to SPEND THE MONEY! Don't tell me we can't afford CRISTIANO RONALDO! I'm already aware of Arsenal's football module and yes I support it FULLY! Why spend more than you earn? But what I'm saying is we can afford QUALITY PLAYERS so why not get them? What the hell are SQILLACHI, ARSHARVIN, DJOROU, BENDTNER, DENILSON, PARK and CHAMAKH still doing in ARSENAL??? We are ARSENAL not EVERTON! COME ON! We need to CUT OUR LOSSES and BUY QUALITY PLAYERS like GOTZE, REUS, HUNTELAAR, AFFELAY etc

You sell FABREGAS, NASRI and RVP and you replace them with who exactly? ARTETA, GIROUD ? Did we STRENGTHEN our team? Do the math..

Like I said Wenger is a Great Coach and his record speaks for itself but if he can't get players like I suggested and sell off the dead wood? Then unfortunately I have to agree when the Arsenal fans say Wenger out!

What's your take?

A First Post

Well the most prestigious EPL is here again!!! It comes full of excitement  and fans worldwide of the most prestigious clubs are full of anticipation for what the season holds.

The transfer window is still open for two weeks.. But MY WORD the buys so far have been truly mind blowing.. Arsene Wenger.. Erm.. You sold YOUR BEST PLAYER to YOUR GREATEST RIVAL? Ok.. I’m still trying to see the logic in that… Hmmm. Let me pause before my fellow Arsenal fans look for a couple of stones to throw… Lol. Well..£24Million is a good sell for someone who in my opinion is one of the 3 Top KNOWN strikers worldwide (though with terrible  history of being injury prone) But selling him to your RIVAL??  Hope it doesn’t come back to haunt you man.. 

ARSENAL

Ok, so Arsenal have actually made some good buys.. CAZORLA and SAHIN if the rumours are true are PURE CLASS. Not to mention PODOLSKI and GIROUD. Guess Wenger has really given up on the youth project then. Lol. Erm DENILSON and BENDTNER somebody.. 

CHELSEA

Let’s face it. Chelsea probably has the BEST MIDFIELD in right now.. Ok arguably.. I mean.. Take a look.. HAZARD who is probably the hottest young midfielder under 21years (though maybe slightly over-rated, time will tell..) OSCAR, MARKO MARIN, make no mistake because of his price (£7M).. MARKO MARIN is GOOD! Then they also have the likes of JUAN MATA and RAMIRES. Now that is what I call FIRE POWER.  I aint a fan of the way Roman fires MANAGERS but please.. If Roberto Di Matteo can’t deliver with these boys.. Fire away..

MANCHESTER UNITED

Hmmm. MAN U.. The club everyone loves to hate. I gotta say it guys… They have THE BEST STRIKE FORCE in Europe! WHAT? Someone sayss? Relax.. It’s true.. Most especially in terms of options?? They do.. (Assuming RVP doesn’t get injured though. Lol)(I’m sure a lot of Arsenal fans would want that) Yep yep.. Fergie was right to say this reminded him of the 1999 squad of COLE, YORKE, SHERINGHAM and Baby faced assassin himself OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER ).. Take a look.. Ideally RVP and Rooney will give at least 20 league goals each.. While Hernandez in particular is pretty good as a super sub(injury free of course)

MANCHESTER CITY

The current league winners, Manchester City, without a doubt have the most complete squad all round.. One thing a lot of people fail to get is that you need time to build squads! Man City has a squad that has been together for a full season and have not lost any key players either (Learn Mr. Wenger.. Please learn) So they will DEFINITELY be title contenders…

Well there it is for now… Personally, I already know who is gonna win the league.. But I’ll wait and tell you right after the transfer window slams shut.. Who do you think will win guys?
