You must live the life of Riley.
Exactly. It's still too early. It's unreasonable to suggest he should go now considering it looks like we may finally be on to a new chapter, but equally foolish to say we should offer him a new contract now. We've played two games since signing Ozil. The starting line up and positions haven't even been established with the first team yet. Plenty to see on the field yet. Enjoy the next few months and see how things play out.
with wenger it hasn't been because he hasn't signed the right players, we have had quality players before yet won nothing. we have lost to inferior sides, had many embarrassing performances in recent memory that a good run recently cant eradicate. the struggles happen when we juggle competitions. our best performances tend to be when there is only one target. We have had a pretty easy start to the season, even Spurs at home with a lot of new players getting to know each other would have been a lot tougher in November/December. Lets see where we are by Christmas before we can ascertain whether a corner has been turned. Wenger has spent longer not winning trophies than winning trophies. He doesn't deserve a new contract, he is 63 so cant go on forever anyway but perhaps the Ozil signing can impress a new manager like Klopp for example.
I have never had the balls to say outright "Wenger Out" but I my frustration has at times got the better of me and showing him the door seemed like the only option. The bridge of who would repalce him is going to have to be crossed one day but for the time being Wenger is ok to stay imo.
However, I still feel we fall short in our transfer dealings, for some time now we seem to get rid of more than we bring in and we dance very close to the edge with regards to what the squad is asked to do. We should have bolstered the squad with a couple of decent squad players if we were going to put all our eggs in Ozils basket but I suppose we may never be allowed to have it all good.
We need a great dealof damage limitation till the likes ofArteta are back to help out and then after that we need to free wheel it to Jan.....then we do need to buy again.....preferably at the beginning of Jan rather than 10 minutes to February!
Show us what youre made of Wenger
He still seems to be the same old wenger as far as I can see: sells throughout july, sits on his hands all August and then complains all September that he doesn't have the squad to deal with the injuries.
Signing ozil was the bare minimum to protect himself from fan backlash, and for me the jury's out on whether this summer's dealings amount to just mild incompetence or full-scale negligence - not a ringing endorsement either way.
Time will tell I guess but he's still got an awful lot to do before I'd be convinced he's the right man beyond 2014.
