Wenger Out ?

[selassie]

Well all those years ago we were told that summer 2014 would be the time we would start competing again. We're pretty close to that now. The Ozil signing made sure we cemented top 4 and to the club's surprise, we began competing a year sooner than planned. Maybe that explains Wenger's stubbornness and lack of transfer activity in the January window? Doesn't want to splash and pay over the odds when he knows he has a mammoth transfer pot in the summer? Who knows.

And if he decides to leave then he's leaving us in a pretty good place. Mertesacker, Rosicky and judging from reports today, Ramsey too, have all penned new deals. We have a solid defensive unit, an abundance of quality midfielders. We have a great stadium + training facilities. Wenger said a few years ago that when he would leave Arsenal he would leave it in a brilliant position for the new manager.

If he leaves, I think it's fair to say he's done that. He has left his legacy.

Yeah I agree with that. He's left the squad in a pretty healthy state, it needs investment, but not major investment, certain areas of the squad are in pretty good shape.

I personally want Arsene to step down now, I don't believe he has it in him to move us up a gear. I believe he's too "wedded" in his principles and not flexible enough or pragmatic enough to move us forward.

We need someone progressive, someone who is willing to take a chance and invest in the squad in the right areas, somebody who has new and inventive ideas.

Thanks Arsene, but your time is done, let someone else have a crack.

Edited to add: I think the club and to a lesser degree Arsene have been selling us the dream/future for far too long. I accept that we may have had financial restrictions placed on us post stadium move and accept we are competiting with a couple of clubs with unlimited budgets, but I won't accept the flawed player recruitment policy our club operates. IMO, Wenger doesn't want to pay over the odds period, he has his valuations and that's that. If anything this summers transfer market will be more difficult than any of the recent years as it's World Cup year, Prices inflate etc.
