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?
