    Given mourinho wouldn't even loan us ba, lukaku is off the list. Benteke is utter shit. Not sold on costa either.

    In January, mirallas isn't a striker (though if like to see him replace podolski) and the other two are hardly better then what we have.

    Higuain was a huge fuck up and we should have got him but the others you have listed are not exactly brilliant options.

    a well balanced factual and reasoned piece SF, eloquently put in a dignified fashion that befits wengers manner and achievements.

    i am convinced he will leave of his own accord now at the end of the season.

    who would you like to see take over if he leaves. who could cherish the values we have and still be ably competitive to make a real mark

    The thrashings we've had to endure in recent years I can't accept before he arrived (and even in the 1st half of his spell) this barely ever happened, the 6-1 against Man U was the only time I can remember with him in charge and before that 6-2 in the League Cup against Man U, other than that yes we lost games but not by these embarrassing margins.

    This season it's happened 3 times in one season, it just shouldn't happen to a side of our stature with anywhere near that regularity, once every few years as a freak result fine but not like it does these days, it just makes us look like a joke.

    The only caution needed is when we approach to try and get him. He's the only man who can continue what Wenger will leave behind at the end of the season.
    Klopp is 20 points behind bayern though isn't he? Dortmund haven't been brilliant this season. I'm not saying he would be the wrong choice but just saying that after the hype last season, he's failed to repeat it. Sold a lot of key players too

    Every one of those strikers is better than Giroud. Even in the championship there are better strikers than Giroud, Akpom, Aneke, JET, who we let go, are better than Giroud

    Do you even analyse the stuff you spout at all?. Which key players did he sell or were they rather lured away by the same team that is pissing the league over there

    We cant really count the city result, if it hadnt been for a retarded ref, it would more had been like 6-3 for us and everybody would have loved Wenger... The Liverpool and Chelsea are freak results, most of the goals scored were 1% chance goals and they scored more than one of those... its 2 freakin' games, get over it. Barcelona lost 3-0 and 4-0 in a short period of time last year, that is as much a freak result as us losing 5-1/6-0 (Barca were considered the best team in the world at that time, so for them losing 7-0 over 2 games, is as much a freak result. Against a team we played 3-3 against over 2 games btw). It can happend to everybody, especially when you dont have 100m+ benches like your rivals and have a bunch of key players out.

    But im curious, what do people expect of a new manager? A trophy and top1-3 each year? So far Wenger looks like he's going to win a trophy in his first year with the "new" Arsenal, even tho' im considering summer 2014 as a new start, thats when we're finally rid of all our shit players and the new sponsors kick in, that puts us up with the absolut top teams financial wise, i wont be surprised if we spend 100m this summer.

    Its funny people want Klopp, because he's kind of a german version of Wenger

    Have you seen Dortmund's injury problems? It's ours on another level.

    Gundogan, their best midfielder, has been missing for most of the season.

    Klopp though, does replace players in areas where the squad needs it.

    Gotze left, he got in Mkhitaryan for £20m.

    He also got in Aubamayang for £12m and he's not done too bad either.

    Van Persie left, who did we get? Vieira left, who? Flamini left, we got back Flamini
