Wenger Out?

[selassie]

Where are the Wenger out brigade right now?

Bit early but another month like this and we'l start to really look like champions in the making.

PL games cant come soon enough and all with so many players still to come back.

The idea of sacking wenger surely seems very silly and shortsighted.

No need for gloating just yet.

I will happily put my hand up and admit that I haven't been happy with Wenger and his player recruitment policy, but the signing of Ozil, and the improvement in the team has come as a welcome surprise.

In some ways, having all these injuries has also come as a blessing in disguise, because the likes of Cazorla & Theo should walk back into the team when fit, it will only makes us stronger.

Still early days, but the signs are very promising.

We STILL need to buy though, we are definitely short on numbers and quality in Attack and to a lesser extent Defence, but the foundations are there now and I can see progress.

Of course there is no need to gloat. You could just as easily turn around and say where are folks that wanted Stan/Gazidis/Board out?

Most people have been critical of the transfer policy for years and although it looks as though we’ve changed our approach, I still can’t understand why we couldn’t have done this 2/3 years? A class signing each year with a few bargain basement deals.

Gloating is the wrong word. I just dont understand people wanting Wenger out, at all.

He's a world class manager, and sacking him would be crazy.

Without Wenger we'd be below Spurs in the pecking order, probably we'd be an Everton type club, no chance of the PL and a tiny chance of the CL.

Anyway, the good thing is, he will never be sacked anyway, never, he will choose when he wants to go and hopefully its a long time away.

AW at least I love you!

Bordering on the ridiculous there, eh? Especially since you have absolutely no way of substantiating such a strong assertion.

I am cautiously optimistic about what we can achieve this season. We have been going on 10-12 games unbeaten run in the last few seasons as well but there was never that air of positivity around the club, that is there right now. Two things responsible for that- not losing any major players in the summer and the signing of Ozil. To push on from here, it is imperative that the following happens:
- Sign a back up striker or someone who can partner Giroud
- Sort out Sagna's extension.. that guy is a beast and deserves a new contract
- Give an extension to Kos and Per asap
- Pray that we can keep this good run going till December and add some firepower

It's worth pointing out this isn't just an unbeaten run, it's an extended run of wins.

How on earth do you know that we'd be shit without Wumger. If someone like Laudrup or Guardiola had arrived at the Emirates a few years ago due to the fact that we've been shit for 8 years, how do you know we would be below Spurs now.
With sensible signings of quality for decent money that we COULD afford, we may well be competing with Chavski & the Mancs far better than we have done.
Stop thinking the past month has changed all our lives. We all going to get "Wengered" up the arse again when he spends fuck all in Jan.

We didn't lose any players in the transfer window because nobody wanted any of em! Apart from Jack & Santi, Wumger had ruined the rest. Good job Ramsey didn't play like this last year or else we would have sold him - probably to one of the Manc clubs.
Not sure about Sagna extension - he's average at best & is the 2nd worse crosser known to man - after Walcock.
Agree about Kos & Per
Don't agree with praying, Wumgers turned me atheist.

It's worth pointing out this isn't just an unbeaten run, it's an extended run of wins.

It is not quite an unbeaten one as Villa did us on our own turf but you are right to point out that generally the upturn in results have been rolling out since we beat Bayern Munich. The team showed a different kind of resolve from that result on and it is nice to see that the back end of last season was not a fleeting run of results attained due to the pressure of finishing 4th alone.

Ramsey has been the stand out player since that game too but Wenger has been a little fortunate with his goal return and he has even been quoted on not expecting him to score so many. Ramsey's goals are saving us from the dire truth of having a player who vowed never to play for us again as our back up centre forward. If he stops scoring then I suspect our poor forward options will cost us.

Clearly we can't win every game but Wenger does have a lot of work to do still and a lot of the questioning he has received has been reasonably justifiable and continues to be so. I desperately wanted him to change/alter his ways and he monumentally did that is signing a player for more money than I could ever imagine he would.

I'd have been delighted just to see him spend 20-25 million on genuine quality and then he went out and spent twice that. Like others I do get the arse about people who seem to suggest Arsenal would be nothing without Wenger. I'm not one of those into marginalising his affect on us but Arsenal were a great club who appointed a promising manager who then became a great manager. Not the other way round.

18 wins from 21 I read somewhere. It's incredible form and that rate we'd surely win the title let alone challenge for it.

We'll undoubtedly hit a bad patch, it's just a case of whether that transpires into the usual winter of discontent or we can dust ourselves off and go again.

It would also be nice if we could chalk up some wins against the other challengers, as we haven't been too hot against them in recent memory.
