Wenger would be great for England, we'd finally get rid of him and England can continue failing (albeit this time with 5 yard passing and even less shots on goal this time) as they normally do.
Everyone wins.

I personally think he would flop at international football, not just with England but with any country. Just look at his Champions League form for proof.
He's more suited to league football.
Fixed it for you ahahahahahaQuote:

The problem is who takes over. The new manager has to be able take over the squad and build on the foundations that are there. When Wenger leaves, the choice will be between stepping upwards to even more success or take a leap of the cliff and hoping you can fly (e.g., Moyes and Man U).Quote:

Is that Ramsey or Bieber?
Cech has retired from international football.
So what do you do when yet another tournament has turned into an utter humiliation for England and their pack of pampered and hyped lightweights?
Easy! Run a hit piece on Arsenal's British players, most of whom didn't have anything to do with the debacle in France yet includes possibly the player of the tournament.

To be honest that lot have been pretty poor for us, Ramsey was great at the Euros but for us he's been woeful, but you can only put that down to Wenger and his tactics and how he plays him.Quote:

Walcott and Wilshere earn an absolute shedload and have been overhyped and overpaid from the day they stepped foot on the pitch for us, wish we'd cut our losses and get rid, Wilshere looked totally out of his depth at the Euros as well, misplaced passes, getting caught on the ball, basicall everything he does for us week in week out (well not really week in week out as he's always injured but almost whenever he plays).
Journalist Dave Woods (strong links to hierarchy of afc) says Eddie Howe no.1 on shortlist to replace Wenger next year.

Come in now lad
Baby Jesus help us.
We're 100% never going to sign anyone ever again. So let's keep on speculating about who we might sign.
Wenger is going to be the manager for at least the next twenty years. So let's narrow down who will replace him next season.
Some stuff about the cunt that has hijacked us.

I thought the comments were related to Gazidis coming out twice talking about financial prudence, rather than his eagerness to spend. If he has said he wants to spend and over-compete then the guy needs his head checked. He would've gone from spouting how we can't compete to saying the complete opposite.Quote:

‘Sometimes I have to calm him down. I believe as well this is a period where everybody wants to dream, and transfers bring dreams.
What I mean is on both occasions that Gazidis has come out and blubbered about finances, Wenger or the club have come out very quickly to offer an opposing view. So either they're both crazy or they are playing a game of confusion on the fans, both of which are feasible. Or Gazidis keeps putting his foot in it. What makes me question it is Wenger qualifying his stance by talking about dreams, which is in contradiction to his opening gambit about calming Gazidis down. I don't think it's easy to read anything coming out of the club at the moment and there is every chance that is what they mean to do.
Wouldn't try reading anything into anything coming out of the club. It's not a serious football club.
Good point. I don't think Stan takes an active role in the club. I don't think he's that imposing. If he were, I can't understand why he'd be OK with us signing Xhaka, a player he certainly wouldn't have heard of prior to being linked with us but on the other hand, people say he is responsible for putting a limit on what we spend on other players. That doesn't make sense.Quote:

On the transfer thread, we have recent quotes from Wenger saying money isn't the problem. The 4 ingredients he uses to make a decision come down to talent, age, can they improve the squad and resale value. Who else but Wenger can make give an informed opinion on those 4 things? Stan certainly can't. Ivan can't. We obviously have certain restrictions when it comes to spending. We won't be breaking transfer world records but much of what we're seeing is self imposed.
One day, maybe, he'll write a book about it.
I think he really needs to shut up and get the job done now, his excuses and philosophical explanations have grown so tiresome. Nothing he says is going to pacify the fans, not when we see everyone around us capable of getting players in regardless of financial might and existing quality.
I'm telling you, he absolutely hates having to sign players. He probably sees it as cheating.
Pretty fucking serious about making money.Quote:

He's afraid of spending money and still failing. He's spent too much time hiding behind excuses and now he's scared of being decisive and putting his money where his mouth is. That's why he's fishing around for bargains and talking about how important resale value is - because that way he can say we spent less than our rivals so THAT's why we win fuck all.Quote:

If he makes the difference and helps us win one of the big ones he will pay that back with interest. If he coughed up earlier he could have even had a full preseason with us and be ready to hit the ground running.
Quote:
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted he is 'quite scared' of retiring, and doesn't understand how managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson have managed to cope so well with life after football.
Wenger has been in charge of the Gunners for almost 20 years, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
But the 66-year-old does not seem ready to quit quite yet, comparing his love of the sport to an 'addiction'.
All very ominous.Quote:
'I personally believe the only way to be a manager is to spend the club's money as if it were your own because if you don't do that you're susceptible to too many mistakes,' he added.
'You make big decisions and I believe you have to act like it's your own money, like you're the owner of the club and you can identify completely with the club. Because if you don't do that I think you cannot go far.'
Then, laughably...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...addiction.htmlQuote:
'I’ve fought all my life for footballers to make money but when you pay them before they produce it can kill the hunger. I’m scared we now have players under 17, under 18, who make £1m a year.
When Ian Wright was earning that, he’d scored goals, he’d put his body on the line. Now, before they start, they are millionaires – a young player who has not even played.'
His comments as usualy are soul destroying and embarassing, the first part is horrible because as I suspected he has no life outside football and therefore could easily go on into his 70s (a scary thought indeed) and the 2nd part because he created this overpaying kids culture (did footballers really need fighting for, they already earnt so much more than the average person?) and now he's complaining about it, he also is the one that wrapped these kids up in cotton woll so they never had to do a hard days work in their life ironically, so is it any surprise they lack motivation and hunger?Quote:

All those Olympians winning medals - they all thank their families for the sacrifices made. The time, the money, the effort. Can you imagine Wenger as a coach? No, we can't go to the pool to practice - petrol is too expensive. Use the bath. I have a feeling his Olympians would be as successful as his football teams.
Big shout out to Serge Gnabry, who's been on fire and the stand-out performer so far at the Olympics. Good on the lad!

Terrible news for those thinking we would never buy a CB.
We should be celebrating because L'Goat has done half of the bare minimum required this window?Quote:

But even if we do, this guy will be rushing in at the last minute in the hope he can rapidly get up to speed and do a job for us. And the one player we have desperately needed for years, the striker, no sign at all. We just won't spend what's required. It's negligence. The bloke should have been sacked 5 times over. But here we go again, another season of his bullshit coming up.
