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?
