Goodbye Sanga?

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Wouldn't it be strange if the players were content with 4th place every season while picking up their weekly wages? Wouldn't that just make them as bad as Wenger and the Board? Is that what we're asking of them? To keep quiet and just accept that this is the way it is at Arsenal? Sounds like a line out of PHW's book if you ask me.

It's time to turn the attention away from the players and focus on the people that constantly take the piss and treat us like idiots. The stuff that PHW and Wenger come out with and fans accept it. How many times have we heard some real insulting crap come from these guys and nothing is done about it? This is the one and only time Sagna has spoken out like this and he's speaking out against the very things we've got a major gripe with. Selling off key players and bad contract management.

The fans need to be more vocal about the way the club is run. Last season, I think 'you don't know what you're doing' chants caught the attention of Gazidis and co. They're now trying to get the fans back on side with some of their moves. The moves are sneaky and manipulative but at least it's some sort of a reaction. The loan deal for Henry was well played. A great PR move and it really lifted the fans for a couple of months. It helped disguise the fact that we didn't buy what we needed during the winter break even though Wenger and Gazidis said money was available to spend and that he'd buy. This summer, they were smart to buy players early and sell later to dupe fans into renewing their season tickets and thinking things have finally changed. Also, they have been smart with the way we've sold players and have leaked certain things that wouldn't usually stay behind closed doors. It's helped to tar the image of certain players and keep the heat of their back. But we can't ease off them. They're aware that the fans are pissed and have been crafty this summer. If it all works out on the pitch and we finally break that cycle, great, but if not, we can't wait another 7 years for these picks to get their act together.

shush. cant be speaking up about our policy, uncle stan wants to deepen his pockets.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Fuck it - let everyone air their grievances whenever they want, whenever they want. That should help the team along.

Pretty much

[Cripps_orig]

Whatever we're doing now hasnt worked so i say we try out GBs suggestion as well

[Olivier's xmas twist]

You know what's weird? The amount of effort someone will go to to pretend to be an Arsenal fan.

Just remember who you're replying to

I don't think you are naive enough to believe every thing these people put on your ears . Bottom line is player and club are playing dog and cat to fool the fans who are funding their profit .
When a player starts making noise , the only thing which should cross your mind is they want more money . We can see where Sagna is coming from . All his friend are now getting more than 120 grands a week . Why will he still want on 60 grands ?

Or he may actually want to win things too? His friends have been picking up trophies and lots of them since they left. Let's not pretend all of our players just leave for financial gain, there is a lot more to it than that.

GP, The best in the world at what he does ?

[Kano]

how he plays has nothing to do with what he says. the words coming out of his mouth will only reflect how he feels, which may or may not be reflected in his play.

if he wants out, the players in the squad will already know that. and let's face it, every player is used to be talked about in the media or hearing about one of their colleagues - so it's just another day at the office.

it's the fans it affects more than anything to do with the squad - which is the real reason everyone has got so upset about this. whether or not his team mates hear about him saying things in the media is irrelevant - they will say it all behind closed doors anyway.

it is also not ! case of 'allowing' or 'letting' players talk - they do so when they want anyway. so when they do, guaranteed their team mates are way ahead of us already.

[Power n Glory]

Of course it does,whats to say when he is fit agaim and playing he will give his all now. Infact who's to say Wenger will even give him games. If this is the Case like GB said let all the team talk to papers and say the same thing.

What abput Cazorla? He was the first to say we need to replace Song and RVP.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

What abput Cazorla? He was the first to say we need to replace Song and RVP.

Im sure he wants quality but least he is getting his head down for now anyways. And yes if things don't change in a year id expect him to get frustated.
