Quite a few of our players have come in relatively recently and won plenty of trophies elsewhere. And suddenly they all need replacing?



Brainwashed
You're saying a good coach couldn't come in and change our style with the same players? Wenger did, we were "boring boring Arsenal" when he joined (arguably we are again now, in a different way) and he completely changed the way we played without replacing the entire squad from day one. Good players, and we have plenty of those, can adapt. And if you don't think we have good players then why complain that we're not title contenders? My disappointment this season is because I think we have a squad which should challenge, but we're not.

We need a new manager and a couple of additions to the squad. That's all.
You're kidding yourself if you think that's all that needs to change at this club and suddenly we'll be up there consistently challenging for titles. It's a long legacy of being second best and a fundamental lack of ambition that has to be corrected. Maybe somebody will emerge from the boardroom and if it's true there's now a split then it's good news. That's an indicator of how shit a situation we are in. It's hopeful and positive news (if true) that our board is divided. Whoever comes in (eventually) is going to have one hell of a job to get a defence installed. The neglect in that area is almost total. And the midfield has started to go the same way. Lots of work.
