Europa League Final Autopsy

[Özim]

Always was worried about Hazard, he's a world class player who affects games and makes things happen, we should have our own in Ozil but to be honest mentally the guy seems to have signed off, he seems to lack any real hunger to win or perform these days, he's a shadow of the player he once was.

When Hazard was available we decided to sign Gervinho, granted Hazard cost more, but Gervinho has come and gone without doing anything whilst Hazard has proven his quality.

We just need some other billionaire to buy us to save us from this mess, unfortunately noone seems interested in buying us, can't blame them though the club is overvalued, how is a club that wins nothing and fails so often worth over 2 billion?

[Globalgunner]

The only reason we are worth more than $2.5billion is because there are plenty of Billionaires out there who would gladly cough out even 4 billion to buy this club. Sadly Kroenke aint selling. Now if only Mackenzie Bezos would make Wiggy an offer he couldnt refuse

That's the point, they won't, Usmanov was the only one but he own a big chunk, noone else has shown the slightest interest. Kroenke would sell if he got enough he's a businessman after all, he never will though so we're stuck.

The likes of Newcastle are getting bought out now, won't be long before we slide behind them with their millions.

[Marc Overmars]

Let’s face it, Kroenke isn’t going anywhere and will remain here for a very long time. He knows he’s hit the jackpot with us.

We’re a real sad state of a “top” club and the downward spiral is only going to continue unless someone at the top suddenly gains an interest on sporting matters rather than business.

[Ralpheroo72]

No idea, the club has no identity anymore and the team is very hard to like.

The whole thing needs to be demolished and levelled before we can even think about moving forward. Losing is firmly embedded in the DNA of this club now.

Yes it was this guy.....

This club has made to many mistakes, bearing in mind Kroenke was never going to invest and we were set on a sustainable model we absolutely should have got rid of Wenger years before, by allowing him (and Gazidis) to stay on our cash reserves basically disappeared due to really poor transfer deals and contracts meaning that now the new manager has no money and no real assets to raise any.

The decision to bring in a new manager was done at the worst time for us really, had we let Wenger go a few years ago we could now have rebuilt, as it stands now though we've barely got any money too and have a squad of average players we need to replace.

The club has rewarded failure for too long, giving new contracts to players, pay rises and big money to people who didn't deserve it, we're paying the price now and the only ones who really seem to care are the fans.

Yes I agree Zim.

Wenger should never have signed Ozil in the first place, never let his and Alexis's contract run down and then paid Ozil 350k a week to stay.

I'm sure Emery wants Ramsey to stay but we cannot have this situation where players run their contracts down and expect 300k a week to stay.

Wenger has so much to answer for.He signed moderate players for big money and let too many contracts run down.

WTF was he thinking ?

A lot of players now need to be kicked out and replaced with younger, hungrier players who are not big stars yet.

I live in Norfolk and my local team which is Norwich, sold at least 2 of their best players in 2018 and replaced them with lots of very cheap, young, hungry players.

They won the Championship and are now in the PL and will be getting at least 170 million now.

That is what needs to be done but on a much larger scale, as Arsenal need to get rid of maybe 8 players.

Auba has two years left on his contract. Do we sell if he doesn’t sign an extension? That’s the promise from the suits up above apparently.
