No amount of "Wenger out" will make Wenger actually leave.

We don't deserve players like Ozil and Iwobi and Sanchez, they will move on this summer deservedly and be playing in champions league finals/semi finals next season. I hope one of them wins it, it'll be nice to see an ex Arsenal player win it

You forgot West Ham too
Liverpool - Klopp building his own team/meme magic
United - mourinho coming in
City - pep coming in
Chelsea - conte coming in, good tactical manager and a squad rebuild
How are we going to compete with this next year? Because we will do the same thing we do every transfer window which is nothing. I hope we sell Ozil & Sanchez, promote the youth and just take a few mid table seasons do we don't embarrass ourselves next year
Iwobi deserves a better club, can see maybe juve or atletico taking him

>>66902499
Kinda want us to get knocked out of CL so Wenger can fuck off.
Elneny is making Coquelin look bad.
>>66902742
Neither of them have been the issue desu.
>>66902730
People need to stop comparing Wenger to Simeone. It's like comparing Welbeck to Suarez.
>>66902773
>Wenger vs Simeone
>shit manager vs good manager
>Welbz vs Suarez
>shit player vs good player
I don't see the issue here.
>>66902808
There is no comparison. We know Simeone is better.
>>66902762
Elneny is a very average crab passer with a decent engine who doesn't really offer the team anything.
Coq feels the need to push forward more and try to influence the play because Elneny can't, and those are definitely not Coq's strengths so he ends up looking bad.
He looked world class next to Cazorla because he only had to play to his strengths. But now Coquelin is looking very average too.
>>66902578
Chelsea, City and Man U all have a massive job on their hands, big rebuilds needed and they can always go horribly wrong. Chelsea have it especially hard as they seem to need 5-6 first team players.
Arsenal's squad is in much better shape.
>>66902556
Jesus fuck that line is ridiculously high
>>66902499
I think most teams that aren't Leicester and Spurs just wants this premier league season over.
Chelsea, City, Utd, Arsenal probably all see this as a season to forget (unless City get a Champions League final that is).
I'm tired of coming in here and laughing at you every week.now I just feel pity.
>>66902855
You can have a world class squad, but with Wenger around it's equal to nothing
>tfw even if >we add the free 12 points that Cech is worth Arsenal would not be top.
>>66902926
Thank you, we need help.
>Giroud has 2 goals in his last 18 appearances for Arsenal
Not trying to defend him, that's a terrible record, but it's sad that he won't end his goal drought because he's limited to 15 minutes off the bench and then having no service when he comes on.
Looking forward to watching the day the roadman core celebrates the title with Simeone the roadman manager like this.
https://www.keek.com/keek/IRCAbab
So what happens if City win the CL and Liverpool the EL?
>>66902932
It's not a world class squad. No player on Arsenal gets on over anyone at Juve, Buyern, Barca or RM you deluded 4rsrnal faggot

>>66902499
If Wenger stays for another season, i'm not going to bother following us until he leaves. I'm a wob since 2011, i'm tired of this shit.
Doesn«t matter what players he signs, we could sign the msn trio for all i care. They will all be wengerized with his loser mentality and outdated tactics.
I'm fucking done. Always the same thing. I know how the next is going to be: We will start very poorly. In january we start to play awesome football just in time to finish in the top4.
>>66903051
I wouldn't call Arsenal's squad world class but it's better than the sum of it's parts.
It would only need one or two good buys to take it to the next step.

>>66905494
He's only seen them at least once a year every year for the last 4 years.
>>66905497
You can never tell. But I'd rather gamble on him and he gets that big club experience he needs with us rather than hoping we can get him after he's been more successful at another club.
Wouldn't take him over Koeman though
>>66905446
Yes. He's keeping Bournemouth in comfortably, having lost defender Mings, midfielder Gradel and star-striker Wilson with knee injuries.
Also his teams play great football. We better do it before a team like Everton does it.

what is he trying to imply
>>66905621
>his teams play great football
Disagree desu. They play good stuff sometimes but when they play with one upfront they leave the striker isolated too much and it's hard for them to build attacks. I watched all of Afobe's first few games for them and he was pretty much just a poacher when played on his own. It's fine when they play with two strikers though.
That said, he'd be able to create his ideal team with the funds he'd have at Arsenal so I'm sure he'd manage to improve his style.
Will any AKBs remain after the season in which Lester win the league and Spurs finish above >us?
>>66905907
yes
SIMEONE WHEN?
>>66905907
I have yet to see a reasonable arguement as to why Wenger should continue to be Arsenal manager
>>66905897
Oh, I thought their positonal play was excellent when I've usually watched them. It was more so in the Championship desu.
>>66905954
Never. Why the fuck would he join us?
He'll be at Atletico at least until his contract runs out and then he'll go to Inter Milan.
if they don't get rid of wenger this summer and at least attempt to get Simeone in, and he eventually ends up at bayern, or juventus or whoever, i will be fucking fuming.
it will be absolutely unforgivable
>>66906114
why wouldn't he?
wenger is on an astronomical wage. if the board offered him similar wages then why wouldn't he? hasn't he always said in the past he'd like to manage in england.
even if he says no, they have to at least reach out and ask him. it will be criminal if they don't.
>>66905571
>implying wilshere has played that many games
>>66906106
I never watched them in the Championship so you're probably right. I was just going off the 8 or so times I've watched them this season.
I'd love to have an English manager desu
>>66905621
>>66905897
The issue with Howe and Bournemouth is that they're very stubborn in their style of play.
Howe got them playing fast attacking football that got them promoted relatively easily and they've stuck to that formula in the Premiership. They haven't adapted their style to match the league's intensity, they've just kept rolling with it.
And while I suppose it's doing well for them, it'll be frustrating to have a manager who may not change his style of football in slumps and patches of poor form, which are definitely gonna happen when Wenger goes as we will go through a couple seasons of rebuilding.
>>66906166
he just wanted to conceal the empty seats :^)
>>66906252
howe looks like a twat though
This question is only for british long life fans: how good is Alexis? would you say he is one of the key players in Arsenal?
>>66906120
>>66906219
Don't think he's bothered with the money at all desu. Otherwise he would've taken the Chelsea job which he was definitely offered.
He wants to manage Atletico, Inter, and Lazio. That's his plan.
>>66906219
>why wouldn't he?
I just told you why he wouldn't. He said recently that when he leaves Atletico he wants to go to Inter.
I agree that we have to at least attempt to get him though. But he doesn't speak English and that's vital for a manager like him. We can't have him shouting at the team in Spanish then having to rely on Arteta to translate it and then him calmly telling the players what to do.
>>66906219
Because he's building something special with Atletico, and it's nowhere close to completion
>>66906317
Most people do m8
>>66906166
I fucking hate the Emirates.
Such a fucking gorgeous piece of architecture all for nothing. The ticket prices are astronomical and it just leads to empty seats and plastic wankers like this attending the matches.
We have one of the biggest stadiums in the country and arguably the worst atmosphere in the country. It's embarrassing.
At least our away fans are loud, but our home fans are absolutely disgraceful.
Arsenal are going to wind up with Allegri
>>66906435
I'd take him
>>66906317
I think he looks like a nice lad desu.
But either way you could argue that we need a twat, someone who's willing to shout at the players on the pitch and give them a kick up the arse when they're not playing well.
Not an old man who sits in his seat all match long.
>>66906341
>We can't have him shouting at the team in Spanish then having to rely on Arteta to translate it and then him calmly telling the players what to do.
that would be hilarious
>debating arsenal's next manager
>implying wenger doesn't have at least 5 years left in him
>>66906347
He's not going to get any closer.
Greaseman will join up with Mourinho this summer.
Koke is on his way to bigger and better things too.
Costa to Chelsea is just another example. They were lucky it didn't destroy the team too much but this time they won't be so lucky.
It's over. They had a good run but it's done. Now it's time for him to move to another club and start a fresh.
>>66906272
You could however go through life wanting to play in a certain way and make alterations along the way, none too drastic in terms of playing style though.
Of course, one of Wenger's main problems is being unable to adapt to opponents. And it's hard to predict how Howe will be in an Arsenal-like enviroment. But who knows, maybe he'll be able to build a very good team at Arsenal. I definitely think he'll be one of the more interesting managers to follow in the next couple of seasons, Bournemouth loves him, so they won't hastily sack him like Swansea did Monk if things went south for whatever reason.
>>66906252
Well, they've had some very bad games, so yeah. About an English manager, I think it'd have some very nice advantages, especially seeing how Arsenal would be the only big club with one. Stuff like that makes you somewhat more likeable in the media and maybe help you with refs.
>>66906538
>Bournemouth loves him, so they won't hastily sack him like Swansea did Monk if things went south for whatever reason.
Swansea loved Monk too. Their stories are very similar desu. Easily comparable.
>>66906323
He was our key player last season, and even though he's been shit this season he's definitely still one of our key players. Nowhere near world class but he's still a good player.
Personally, I hate the way he plays though and wouldn't be sad if he left.
>>66906599
Yeah, when I typed it, I thought about it again. For some reason, forgot to add to it.
Monk was mostly good for them as a player though and took over after Swansea already got promoted and won the league cup under other managers. The difference is that Howe brought them up from League Two as the manager. But I won't rule anything out, never thought Monk would get the sack too, but he did.
>>66905907
see to be honest, i don't see any reason why this leicester team wouldn't have challenged for the title in any other season. they are a really, really good team. its actually pretty disrespectful to them to say arsenal should take it as a given to finish above them.
i dont say that in defence of wenger btw, he should be sacked in the summer 100%.
>>66906530
>Costa to Chelsea is just another example. They were lucky it didn't destroy the team too much but this time they won't be so lucky.
Atletico have had great strikers literally every year and have always managed to replace them. Aguero, Torres, Forlan, Falcao, Costa, Greezman, etc
You can't say that be able to do well without Costa is down to luck.
And he definitely doesn't need to start fresh. Why would he when he's creating a period of sustained success for the club?
>>66906717
leicester are doping it up lad
have been since middle of last season under pearson
>Arsenal retards still wanting Wenger fired
LMFAO
Stupid fucks. He's the best thing to ever happen to your miserable little club. He literally built that new stadium single-handed. Literally made it out of plastic himself.
You stupid cunts should be building a statue of him or naming the stadium after him, not calling for his head.
What do you think? That you should be a title-challenging team? LMFAAAAAAOOOOO. Get a grip you deluded fucks. You're a 8th-3rd club AT BEST. You're lucky to even be in the CL at all.
Get over it.
Spurs are at least as big as Arsenal. You don't see their fans complaining about 3rd-8th place finishes, do you? Same applies to West Ham with their new stadium there is nothing between them and Arsenal.
THAT is your level. You are not a Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United or a Liverpool. You are a Spurs or a West Ham, now fuck off.
>supporting Arsenal
> expecting anything other than mediocrity
If you wanted trophies and success why did you chose to support Arsenal? Why not one of the big boys?
>Barcelona trying their best Arsenal impression
How flattering
>>66906761
wouldn't be surprised desu, but the point still stands in my opinion. they are a great team, and just because arsenal, man city, chelsea etc are all shite this season it doesn't really detract from the quality they've shown this season.
>>66906798
In less than ten years before Wenger had joined the club, Arsenal had won the league twice, won the FA Cup and league cup a couple of times, and also won a European trophy (albeit a shit one), something Wenger hasn't managed in 20 years. People act as if Arsenal were like Millwall or something before he took over.
>>66906996
Nah that European trophy isn't worth mentioning, Spurs have more trophys in Europe than Arsenal
>>66906773
people say liverpool fans are deluded
but arsenal fans are actually FAR FAR more deluded because of this fact
liverpool are actually a big club and among europe's elite
arsenal are a big club compared to the rest in london, but not an elite club, wenger has had them punching above their weight for a while now
whereas 4th is failure to a club like barca, liverpool, united, bayern, madrid etc. 4th is actually a great achievement for arsenal which would be on a par with winning a title for the other clubs
>>66906404
>plastic wankers like this attending the matches.
It was a joke mate. Pipe down.
>>66907102
You're missing the point. It's not that we think we're on the same level as Barca, it's that we want to be.
>>66907078
Found the kike
>all these mongos spouting nonsense about the size of the club
it's literally irrelevant you thick cunts. the simple fact of the matter is that Arsenal have an astromical wage budget that any good manager should be able to put to use a lot better than wenger does. the last 4-5 years have been a massive underachivement in relation to the money spent on wages.
he is no longer the right man for the job and simpls has to go.
Soon. (Hopefully)
In case anyone feels like getting any hopes up or getting angry when the same exact thing happens next season, just remember that wenger already pretty much argued that there wouldn't be any signings and the season will follow the same shambolic style except I expect arsenal to finish lower than 4th for sure due to other clubs improving while arsenal continue their digression under wenger.
>>66907330
and? i'm sure every club wants to be on that level, but you don't see west ham trying to sack their manager because he got them to 5th/6th/7th
you know why? because they aren't big clubs either. they KNOW their level.
United on the other hand might sack van Gaal and have sacked Moyes because they ARE on the level of Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern and those managers have the club punching BELOW their weight
so yeah, you're missing the point
Wenger would rather finish 4th every season than finish 1st then 5th
How can anyone see this is a problem
>>66907395
Arsenal's wage budget is nowhere near United, Liverpool, City and Chelsea's and is more comparable to Spurs.
Spurs are having a one-off fluke season, so don't even say it.
Did Ty and Claude kill themselves after the match?
>>66906530

Next you'll tell me Ox is on the way out
>>66907272
It's true though innit.
>>66907605
>one off fluke season
They could have done the double over >>us this season and have arguable a better XI than Arsenal. Add that to the fact that Poch has them playing better than ever and don't expect them to just fall off next season. Chelsea, City, Man Utd, Liverpool, and Spurs will all improve next season while Arsenal continue to flounder under Wenger. He will leave unceremoniously after continuing to stay well past his usefulness and continue to ruin whatever "legacy" he ever had.
>>66907605
well this is wrong
>>66907605
Arsenal is spending 2 million less on wages than Manchester City this season.
>>66907724
No mate.
>>66907686
>Next you'll tell me Ox is on the way out
Ox and Walcott rumours are at an all time high, so I can't help but get a little hopeful
>>66907739

It's fucking criminal. Arsenal needs a violent protest from fans against the absurd ticket prices too. Maybe storm the next offseason board announcement event.

>>66905454
>Nasri wearing a France shirt
>>66907686
I don't even read papers or listen to any of that twitter shit.
I'm experienced enough and intelligent enough to see that Atletico (although doing very well in the past 2-3 years) are a small club destined to be forever 3rd-5th (alongside Valencia and Villareal) in Spain and that's just the way life is.
They are essentially, the Spanish Spurs or the Spanish Everton.
People need to stop with this delusional "BUT LOOK HOW WELL KANE IS DOING AT SPURS, HE WON'T LEAVE THEM!!!" and "BUT LOOK HOW WELL ATHLETICO ARE DOING!!! THEY ARE THE CL WINNERS WHY WOULD ANYONE LEAVE THAT?"
Football is just like any other job. A more prestigious company comes along and offers you more money, what do you do? Say no thanks? Do you fuck.
Nobody cares about building legacies
Nobody cares about exciting projects
It's all about money.
Look at fucking Pep Guardiola, the so called football hipster. HE'S SIGNING FOR SHITTY.
There's a natural order to things. There is a natural food chain. These things won't change for hundreds of years. Get used to it.

it's bigger than Liverpools and Tottenhams quite easily and is comparable to United, Chelsea and City. it isn't anywhere near small enough in comparison to those clubs to justify how badly they've underachived when compared to those clubs.
you'd be surprised at the figures wengers throws at absolute dogshite players. andre santos was on 60k+.
>>66907802
I literally sit dead in front of Robbie at Arsenal. He's a nice bloke, fucking huge.
>>66907739
No, it's not.
I know for a fact that Yaya, Aguero, Silva, de Bruyne and Sterling are all being paid more than £300k per week.
Arsenal don't have a single player on that.
£150k is the new 30k people need to wake up and get with the times.
£150k a week is not an incredible amount of money for a decent first-team player to earn.
Yfw Wenger and Martinez will have the same amount of major trophies in the last 10 years come the end of the season yet idiots will still defend them
>>66908024
Wish Ox had picked spurs. Useless fucking cunt. Southampton have schooled Arsenal with transfers.
>>66908079
Good for them. Still doesn't mean they don't have a greater upside than Arsenal. In fact, out of most of the top teams in the EPL, Arsenal have the biggest downside next season because the same wank manager with the same wank ideas will not sign anyone to improve the squad while everyone else will improve.

The things Martinez says in interviews reminds me of Wenger desu
>>66907790
Our atmosphere is absolutely terrible lad everyone knows this.
Emirates is a library. It's depressing.
>>66908176
Prove it cunt
>>66908178
They are both overrated shit. >>66908079
Doesn't change the fact they have made it further than Wenger's cucks FC in the recent past.

memphis depay gets 120k and he's considered "youth"
Just lost all respect for Claude lads. Can't support the guy anymore

>>66907802
Wait what the fuck was that handsign at the end supposed to mean.
>>66908298
Exactly
Yet we are paying him 8m a year and allowing him to continue unanswered
>>66908356
MAN LIKE ROBBIE
>>66908183
You do realise football is more than "next season" right?
Who fucking cares?
I'm talking next 10-20 years. Spurs will float away into obscurity. Arsenal will stay 4th (if Wenger stays) and United/Chelsea will win league titles again.
>>66908324
what did he do?
>>66908176
That may well be the case, but the reason Arsenal's wage bill is so high is that they pay shitters big wages. Dogshit like Denilson was on 50k a week, where anywhere else he'd be lucky to get close to half of that.
>>66908173
Thank you.
I feel like I'm the only person around here who likes Robbie. Can't stand AFTV and the divas who go on there (aside from the loud African man I like him) but Robbie genuinely seems like such a decent guy.
>>66908374
Don't forget the highest ticket prices in the prem leading to a shit atmosphere that Wonga has the gall to criticize when his overpaid, mentally frail babies fuck up constantly due to their lame duck manager.
>>66908176
>I know for a fact that Yaya, Aguero, Silva, de Bruyne and Sterling are all being paid more than £300k per week.
you literally don't know that for a fact, so kindly wind your neck in pal.
wengers problem is that he likes to keep the variance in wages as low as possible for squad harmony reasons. which leads to dogshite squad players like gibbs on 90k, and means he's reluctant to splash out proper big money on world class players and have them earn considerably more than other members of the squad.
it't not a terrible model theoritically if it works, but it fucking doesn't for arsenal at all and it needs to change and he needs to go.
>>66908399
>"Why did he take Welbeck off? I though he was playing really well"
Great assist today, but he didn't do anything else as usual. I can't support Welbeck endorsers.
>>66908402
The same thing could be said about any club. Just pick some of their shit players and I'm sure you'll be surprised at their wages.
That's just football. This is not a specific issue to Arsenal.
The point is that Arsenal cannot compete with clubs that can offer £350k a week wages no matter who the manager is.
>>66908421
Don't most people like Robbie?
I don't even support Arsenal but their channel (just cause of Robbie) is much better than United or Liverpoos.
>>66908433
Highest ticket prices in Europe
Highest matchday revenue in Europe
CL football every year
Yet signs 1 player
>>66908032
the way he speaks, like he's the Prime Minister giving a sombre speech after a disaster, it's fucking infuriating. what a clueless self-important prick

Fuck the "squad harmony" bullshit. Wenger is a soft fucking cuck and has soft fucking players as a result. Fuck the "getting along and laughing for AFTV" bullshit, they need true leaders that will fucking dress players down for the shit they do. But wenger is LITERALLY afraid to have strong personalities in the locker room and is a cuck(like most french).
>>66908517
Oh, that's actually Welbeck bashing on a deeper level, I can respect that.
lol'd @ the assist though
>>66908519
>The point is that Arsenal cannot compete with clubs that can offer £350k a week wages no matter who the manager is
yes they could. all it would take is wenger to ditch his moronic stance on squad wages variance and stop paying 90k to rotation and backup players.
>>66908534
No one hates Robbie. They might laugh at him a bit because he looks funny but that's it. Pretty sure everyone thinks he's a nice guy
>>66908536
And has the gall to claim there was no qualiteee on the market. IN CASE ANYONE HAS FORGOTTEN, he has already started saying the same used up cliches about no signings this summer and he will allow the distraction of the Euros to prevent anyone being signed.
Arsenal are playing the best players they can attract to their club.
In fact, Ozil and Sanchez will be wanting out soon so you better start looking for replacements. Maybe get Mata in because Mourinho won't want him.
And yes, Mata will be on high wages, maybe even as much as £200k a week. But you'll have to suck it up and pay it because if you don't you'll have to get an even inferior player and so on.
Welcome to the cycle of life, fuckheads.
>>66908032
Oh my fucking god I can't stand this guy.
>>66908620
You're the Dutch lad that likes Welbeck yeah? Did that assist surprise you? I've never seen him do anything as good as that
>>66908658
and then
"we were looking at Martial, Payet, Kante, etc....."
But no quality on the market
>>66908663
No, we're playing the biggest names we can attract to our club.
We don't have to go all Man United and sign about 20 "big names" because look how well that works out.
We can bring good players to the club that aren't big names.
We don't have to sign some ex Barca or Madrid superstar player to win titles. Leicester are winning the league with lower league players. To win things, you need to put together a good football team, not just bring together a bunch of "good" players.
>>66908663
kek, no way we would sign mata
you're stuck with him
>>66908723
I am not even bothering to get excited for next season. I already know it will be the same or worse than this season. It's laughable that people can still defend wenger/the board/kroenke when they literally do the same things to ensure the club never progresses. I expect a 5-7th finish next season and will be impressed by anything better.
>>66908536
RANCHES
>>66908663
Yeah look at all the big names Leicester attracted
Where are they again?
>>66908706
Yeah, same guy. Not in a foul mood today though, so I won't mind people disliking Welbeck today like last time.
Mate, it was the most un-Welbeck thing I've seen from him. Looked like prime Sanogo for most of it, but that pass was better than anything Özil did all game. I rewatched it several times to bask in the rarity of it all.
>>66908797
>We can bring good players to the club that aren't big names.
Yeah, it's possible but a lot more difficult and it takes years and years of trial and error to get right.
So if that's your strategy, good luck, you won't be finishing in the top 7 for the next 3-4 years but maybe after that you have a shot. MAYBE.
Or you can go tried and tested, keep Wenger and play CL football every year while staying profitable and secure for the future.
>>66908620
How does Welbeck make an assist like the yet misplace passes all game?
>>66908853
>you will never buy a $700m ranch while every team you own flops
I hope Wonga doesn't die on the job because I want to read his autobiography.
I want to hear the reasons he coddled players like this, and signed players like that.I must know what he thought of his tenure in the past decade.
Hopefully he goes full Fergie with all the cuntness, exposing all the dirty stories his players thought he'd never tell due to player-manager confidentiality.
>>66908858
>Cites a 5000/1 example
>Thinks this is the norm
Fucking idiot.
If it was as straightforward as that everyone would do it.
>>66908929
Nah the sooner he is the sooner Arsenal can move on.
>>66908853
Fuck Kroenke, worst owner in sports.
>>66908901
I think it's easier. Get some scouts and find decent players who fit the system.
It works better than spending a bunch of money on a bunch of stars and expecting them to gel and win things.
That's not how football works.
the only thing worse than AKB's is the fucking mongos from other clubs who come on here spouting absolute shite about the size of the club and what fans expectations should be.
fucking infuriating.
>>66908929
Arsene Wenger is a pathological liar mate. There's no way you could trust his autobiography.
>>66908956
Ok If Leicester didnt have their run Spurs would be top
what players from Real and Barcelona did they sign?
Or Aletico in Spain?
Chatting shit
>>66908917
Same way Coutinho can hit several people from the 6th row out cold with his twats, but then score a 30yd blooter out of nowhere.
>>66909019
this
>>66909026
>It's just a coincidence that 90% of the time the top 3 biggest spenders win all the trophies
>Expect more than 1 signing in clear areas that the squad needs improvement
>Waaah we can't spend £150m every season like City, Chelsea and United
Why does asking more than 1 player mean we have to spend that much money
Why are AKBs so pathetic
Imagine if Kante was offered to sign for us over Leicester
Why wouldnt he pick Arsenal
