Sexy manager flirts with our darkest desires, but is it us he calls for?

by .

“Certainly I will go abroad,”

“In Italy, finished.”

That’s Max Allegri. Get used to the name, because we’ll be cursing it this summer when Arsenal pass on his services.

Arguably, the Italian is the most suitable candidate to take over from Arsene Wenger when he should be told to pack his bags this summer. The suave manager of Juventus has put his club on notice, and apparently, that above line was delivered in English, I guess to make a point that he’s Premier League bound.

He feels very Chelsea-ish to me. I know the London club have been fluttering eyes at Luis Enrique, so it’s not nailed on, but I can’t see anywhere else he’d be heading. Tuchel to PSG, or even Juve? Who knows. But Rapha Honigstein is doubling down on Wenger staying in another news cycle. It’s all starting to feel very familiar.

I mean, we’ve passed on Klopp, Pochettino, Ancelotti and Guardiola. What’s another world class manager to Arsenal?

The joke being that the club will do their pathetic merry dance of, ‘we searched high, then we searched low, then we had a look in the reception bin, then we found the answer… it was right in front of us, the greatest manager ever… iiiiiiit’s Arsene!’

Then the old man will trot out some bullshit about focus, uniting the fanbase, whilst selling us the vomit inducing esoteric ‘Arsenal values’ proposition.

It’s depressing but symptomatic of a club with very little balls. I’d imagine from Stan’s point of view, he’s likely having a heart attack at the investment he has to make on his $4.9b stadium in LA, along with all the costs of the staff… the idea of hiring in a new manager who comes with ambition at Arsenal might not feel too appetising (also, take a moment to let that Reddit link sink in. Stan turned us into a poverty joke for 5 years, not laying out a penny while we were cash poor, now he’s racking up so much debt, he’s having to ask the NFL to extend the debt ceiling).

That said, I can’t think of any logical reason why you wouldn’t want to give both clubs the best chance of being elite? It’s not like we have Pochettino working wonders on a neutral transfer spend, with £120m wage bill. Wenger is operating on a net spend higher than Real Madrid’s, and he’s spunking bad money after bad money on players and exorbitant salaries (the worst one, being his own). He’s also leaving a shed tonne of cash on the table with the Champions League and sponsorship.

I really cannot understand why the club are finding it so hard to say goodbye?

It was a real low on the podcast yesterday when I had to call out that we’d pulled away from Burnley who were chasing us down for 6th place. Our season has been an unmitigated disaster. The football is dross, the players don’t care, and the fans are not bothering to show up for tickets they’ve paid for. The thing no one talks about with the ticket piece is this: most fans can’t give their tickets away. My pals on Whatsapp are always trying to shift spare tickets, often for free, and it’s hard work.

‘I’m pruning a bush’

‘I’m tired from hot yoga’

‘I’d rather put my head in an oven’

We are the least interesting club in world football. We are the stalest disaster in the game. Total drudgery.

Still, maybe Ivan Gazidis grew some balls this year and is about to drop a Robert Mueller like surprise for us this summer. Wouldn’t that be joyful?

Another point… teams announce new managers before the season is out (City / Bayern / Barca), and managers announce they’re leaving early (Enrique, Pep, Allegri). It doesn’t destroy the club. Our players are moaning that they’re unsettled that people are talking about Wenger’s future. The manager will wrap the season in an excuse like that, just like he did last year. Reality is, even when his future is wrapped up, players don’t give a fuck for him, because he’s just an average manager with a reputation bigger than the club.

We are a tragedy of a sporting entity.

I REALLY HOPE I AM PROVEN INCORRECT.

Right, just a big fat rant today.

Why not tune into our podcast from Sunday? It’s pretty good. There’s also a Facebook video for you if you’d like to see what we look like you dirty perverts.

Emirates, Against spurs and city, we played Xhaka and 4 no 10s behind Auba. I say release Jack and bring in Max Meyer(could very well happen). Bring in a winger and rotate with Ramsey, Mkhi and Ozil. Meyer has been playing as a DM this season. May be he could play along side Xhaka after all. Meyer is fast, mobile and has shown this season that he can sit in front of the defense. He is press resistant too(has a bit of Cazorla in him) and is ambidextrous. He lacks height, long range passing and long distance shooting, which Xhaka… Read more »

I don’t think that it is the club who are finding it difficult to say goodbye to Wenger. The problem is Kroenke’s unwillingness to terminate his contract.

Sadly it is Kroenke who makes the final decision.

Emiratesstroller

Akilan/Mysticleaves Re your posts on previous thread. Yes Monreal is a decent left fullback and Kolasinac may also develop into one. However, Wenger has demonstrated over many years that he likes to convert wingers into wing backs. Most of these players tend to be defensively suspect. Arsenal will most probably have £100 million net to spend this summer assuming that the Management are prepared to reduce our bank balance. Anything more will need to come out of sales. We need as a priority to bring in a top class goalkeeper and centre back and that alone is going to cost… Read more »

“I really cannot understand why the club are finding it so hard to say goodbye?”

Maybe because our entire board is full of pussies, only interested by money ??
Probably also because they have nothing but pity for the old fool who has nothing else but “the club he built” in his pathetic life ??

Your suggested deal is a bad one. HB plus 10-20m for Martial? HB has 4years left while Martial has 1 year left? Lets not get desperate here. If Man utd wants HB we should be in a driving seat so it’s more like Martial plus 10-20m for HB

from the last post

mysticleaves

“We need as a priority to bring in a top class goalkeeper and centre back and that alone is going to cost you at least £80-100 million.” To me, keeper is not really a TOP priority. But even if it was, there’s Leno for 20m. Also with Mertasacker gone we will be left with Kos, Chambers, Mustafi, Holding and Mavropanos. Thats 5, someone has to leave between Chambers, Kos or Mustafi and money will be made from there. Manolos will cost tops 35m. Frankly I don’t even see GK and defense as positions of TOP priority this summer. Working on… Read more »

Basically we are doing it arse about face.

Attack is more or less sorted (sell Welbeck, perez and Iwobi bring in mahrez)

I agree with you, sort the midfield and it could all fall into place…….. NZONZI

David Smith

ES is correct. If Wenger survives this season, that is on Stan

Victorious

you know our current midfielders are a combination of dog turd and headless chickens when posters are talking up Meyer in same sentence with cazorla#desperate times

mysticleaves

Victorious

You know you lack understanding of the discourse when you think people are comparing ability of Cazorla to that of Meyer

Akilan

Mystic,
I would take the money and run. If we do get Martial, he will solve two of our problems.
1. Winger.
2. We can actually sell Lacazette and sign new defenders. May be get Giroud back as well. Sell Welbeck.

Akilan

Meyer has a bit of Cazorla about him(ambidextrous) = I compared Cazorla and Meyer in victorious’ translation.

Victorious

Mystic
oh really,did you read Akilan’s comments in just the previous post? even yourself have been waxing lyrical about the midget,the fact is we already have midfielders comparatively or relatively in same bracket with Meyer,we need a major upgrade there,Bosman Meyer won’t do it,sorry,where is Kolasinac by the way

Uwot?

As someone(not sure who)pointed out.the secret of ousting the manager is to go after the board.all of them.hound them day & night.its what the pie munchers up north do to great success most of the time.our spineless board as we know do nothing except sit back & let a failure of a manager take the flak.sure he deserves it.if for nothing other than towing the company line which has brought us to the shitfest situation we’re in now.but it is THE BOARD who now need to be told enough is enough…..

Victorious

he has more of the abilities of a Wilshere as against a carzola,i had to watch him against friebuug to see what the hype was about and I was mightily unimpressed

Emiratesstroller

Akilan Meyer may well be what we need, but he is available on Bosman and that means that there are plenty of other clubs likely to want him. There is no guarantee he will come to us particularly if we fail to get into CL next season. Goretzka would have been a better option but as we have seen before Bayern Munich picked him up on Bosman as they did with Lewandowski. Mysticleaves Goalkeeper and Centre Back are absolute priorities this summer. Cech and Koscielny are past their best. They may be okay as second or third strings, but not… Read more »

Exactly,i mean you could easily list about 10 midfielders off your head that would give us twice as what a ‘Meyer will bring to the table that as well would be affordable but no let’s go for Meyer because he is ‘free’ and add him to the pile of midgets stinking the place already

Wenger will 100% stay on which means all of the managerial names you lot wet yourself over will be long gone…just like our fanbase. With regards to an empty stadium, if I was Stan, I wouldn’t care. They’ve already paid. Also, it’s easy enough to allow unsold or tickets people haven’t claimed to be sold. London is full of students on visas and the ones who love to take photographs…you know the type. There are also lots who call Arsene Mr Wenger…you also know those ones as well.

I don’t know who Max Mayer is but if Arsenal are interested, he’ll be shit.

“But my grandad supported them”…blah blah. Granddad is dead. The club is dead.

Honigstein is saying that Tuchel has not been approached by Arsenal because Wenger is staying. Fans absolutely must stay away from the Emirates.

“Could we somehow make a chant to go around the crowd that would be like it was his sending off season? Just like make the last few home games a farewell for Wenger?”

Really good idea. A farewell and thank you song to be sung to Wenger at the final four or five matches. Not ironic at all, though. It would be a way for the fans to say: “Thank you, Arsene, but it really is time to go”.

Totally pointless.

Of course Arsenal aren’t sacking Wenger. Jesus Christ. Wenger is the club!!!

Seriously, why can’t anyone understand this?

That’s complete nonsense. Kroenke does not want Arsenal to be mediocre, but knowing very little about football, he trusted that Arsene Wenger was the right man for the job. He was wrong. It is rather rich that people who themselves believed in Arsene Wenger just 12 months ago criticize Kroenke for this.

First off, I hate SK and all he stands for. Cunt. I wish the ranch owning fucktard would disappear , but, in the interests of fairness I believe the 4.9bn stadium project is as a whole for a near 300acre development. There’s a lot going on there but none of us know enough detail to understand all the revenue streams and long term plan, but putting a number out there is scaremongering. Even so, we can see here that when the shoe fits K is willing to cough up BILLIONS in investment. My guess is once the team is established… Read more »

The empty seats don’t just look bad, they’re bad for the club’s public image, brand and future commercial deals. This matters. Business is not just short term, “oh, I don’t care that I have a half-empty stadium because they paid for those tickets.” You have to think about your brand. Fans must continue to stay away. Even if it only has a small impact, it has an impact, and everyone must do what they can.

How would it make the fans look like mugs? They’d be telling Arsene and ownership what they want. Even if Wenger stays on, the fans would still look like the smartest people in the building. Strange take.

The sickness at the heart of Arsenal football club – OUR club – is Silent Stan.

Even if Wenger goes tomorrow, the dead hand of Stan will control everything and he is accountable to no one. He does not give a fuck about OUR club and employs the ineffectual Ivan The Terrible to spout meaningless phrases like “catalyst of change” to deflect any hint of criticism.

There will be no change while the Yank is in charge. Fuck off Stan and take Wenger with you.

Right, which is why we hired Sanllehi and Mislintat and spent more than £100m on CF’s in a matter of six months. The goal is go nowhere and remain mediocre. OK.

Just when you start to believe Arsenal’s torturous period under Wenger is nearing the end, what do you hear? That Wenger will be ‘allowed’ to stay on until the end of his contract. Its 2015 all over again and next year will be 2016-17 all over again with same old drama about Wenger’s future and at the end another two year extension.

Bamford, I don’t know but a fan is supposed to be blinded by emotions regarding the greatest manager he has ever seen in his club but a business man who shouldn’t be making that mistake really.

Kroenke is not a football fan so doesn’t know a lot. And even if he was a fan of Wenger, as I learnt, business decisions should be made devoid of emotions.

So what kind of an owner do we have then? Wheres the yearly appraisal? Where’s objectivity? Where’s the interest?

WE, I think I’m the one who is most vocal about us signing Meyer. At no point did I claim he’s the next big thing. I’ve openly said I don’t trust any of our midfielders to play in a double pivot. I want our club to sign a CM and a DM. If you want a half decent midfield, it will cost you minimum 100m. So take Meyer for free and sign a top DM like Fabinho or Kovacic, within our budget.

And honestly, Wilshere and Meyer are nothing like the same. Wilshere thrives in carrying the ball from deep and then short combination plays along the lines.

Meyer is not a carrier, he’s a distributor but can evade the press with either a pass or a dribble. Totally different things

WengerEagle

Akilan

I just don’t see anything special in Meyer, he’s short and tidy on the ball but he’s not penetrating at all and he’s not exactly a collosus defensively either.

Hasn’t scored or assisted a goal this season, not that they are even close to being the only aspects that matter for a CM but fail to see how he makes us better looking at his wider skillset.

What do you rate about him exactly, other than the fact that he’s cheap?

Meyer doesn’t dribble.

Averages 1 dribble attempt every 2 matches.

If you were following the Le Grove on Saturday, I wanted to see him play, but after learning Meyer didn’t start, I switched to hoffenheim – koln to see how Nagelsmann’s team play. They won 6-0 with gnabry scoring a double. They kinda played like Arsenal TBH except were solid at the back.

0.6 dribbles per match, even if it’s successful completions it still showcases that he’s anything but good at dribbling.

That’s why I qualified it by saying that even when you take that away, he doesn’t bring a lot to the table anyway.

No point in comparing him to someone like Kante who provides much more all-round.

No, not much better. But I want a clean break of all the Ramsey and Wilshere nonsense. In the end if Meyer and one super star midfielder is brought on instead of Wilshere and Ramsey we are so much better off.

Wenger has been here a long time and if for anything we need a fresh breath. Same can and should be applied to Wilshere and Ramsey.

mysticleaves

Even if it’s not Meyer, Ramsey and Wilshere should be sold/released and replaced, finito. They either don’t stay fit enough, don’t offer enough or are not suitable for their positions. Break free I say

Anyone who thinks Wenger is leaving this summer or the next is a deluded moron.
He has another contract in him to keep running this shit show as he basically can award them to himself as much as he likes.
