Probably would have done better in the league in the immediate aftermath of Vieira leavingOriginally Posted by Delusions of Grandeur
I actually think a player like that could have won us one more league title
2007/2008 for me that was a year where we clearly should have won the title, lost three games all season just drew too many.
As Zim said. We have no idea where Wenger would have played Toure.
We've had far more resources than Pool have had and they started at a much lower point (constant 5/6/7th finishes) than us. Klopp's improved them in a much more competitive environment than what Wenger had to face when he first started into serious top four contenders at the very least whereas as HCZ says, our current trajectory is heading towards where Pool used to be.
Klopp's done far more with far less than Wenger has. As HCZ and the others have said it's not even debatable anymore. Purely on the football side of things, Wenger is currently the worst out of the top six managers and top seven if you include Koeman because I think he'd do a better job than Wenger has tbh. They may not be able to run an entire massive "organisation" like Wenger does, but they don't have to as they have enough trust in either a DoF or their highers up to do that.
God knows when you're going to get a manager like Klopp available again, so it makes us passing up him when he was available all that more irritating. In terms of footballing vision and longevity/loyalty towards a club, he was the closest Wenger replacement available.
That season still annoys me, we were so consistent but we just ran out of gas in the end. We still had a chance to recover from the Birmingham disaster but losing at Chelsea and United finished us off.
I'd forgotten about that.
My bad.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
The deluded idiot is now saying that Alexis might sign a new deal with Arsenal.
Alexis would have to be completely fucking stupid to do that, which surely he isn't.
I hope Alexis leaves in January and leaves Wenger/Arsenal (same thing) high and dry and he signs no-one in winter transfer window.
Losing lots of games before and after that will hopefully get that idiot out next summer.
tbh I can easily see Alexis & Ozil signing Suarez type deals for us.
As the folks of the Arsenal Vision pod were saying it makes perfect sense for everyone.
They immediately double their wages for the final year of their contract and we put a reasonable release clause that means we at least recuperate some if not all the initial outlay we made on them. Plus their agents get a cut of the deal, both our one and the future transfer so they'll be happy with it that as well.
It's a win win for every party tbh.
He should probably avoid talking about Sanchez and his contract if he wants to keep everyone focused. We're in a situation where we have to deal with speculation but no need for Wenger to generate more headlines than necessary. Next step is for the press to ask Sanchez if he's going to sign a new deal. How is he supposed to answer that honestly and not have fans on his back or call for him to be benched if he doesn't give the correct answer?
Wenger needs to stop the public pressure game, grow some balls and talk to his players face to face and not through the press.
why stop at the top 6-7?
i'd say probably any other manager in the PL and a few in the Championship could do a better job as manager - after all how much brilliance and experience does it take to say 'hey Bellerin, you're a right back - you go and play at right back'?
