Wenger puts the January feelers out

by .

Grab the bloody popcorn, Arsene Wenger is coming BACK to football.

The man is recharged. He’s ready to go. He wants revenge on you. Ok, maybe not the last one.

“I believe [I will] start again on 1 January. I don’t know [where] yet,”

“There are associations, national teams, it could be also in Japan.

“From my 22 years at Arsenal, I have big experience on different levels. There are enquiries from all over the world.”

Is it a coincidence he’s talking to Bild? Can he smell the blood of Niko Kovač in the water? It’s worth remembering that Bayern Munich were sniffing around Wenger before he came to Arsenal back in the day. They’ve been making some pretty average choices when it comes to coaches since Pep left, so maybe there’s an option there?

I personally think he should go in at association level, or maybe international. He’ll not do that, he’ll go for a power job. His vendetta is against the notion he’s too old to rock it at the highest level. Reality is it’s absolutely true, but at the right club, with the right backroom team, maybe he could do something of note.

Also, total banter that a man who said no value can be found in January… is now touting himself in January. Sly dog…

Thierry Henry did his first prezzer. He interestingly said that Pep was his reference when it comes to coaching.

“Pep is the reference, for me, I’m not saying for everyone. There’s no right or wrong; that’s the reference for me. We learnt how to play the game when I went to Barcelona under him.”

I mean, I’m not surprised. Pep is the best in the world, has been since he burst on the scene. If you want to play attacking football that has ruthless attention to detail, he’s always going to be your god. Thierry also made mention of Wenger.

“Arsene unlocked a lot of stuff in my mind, made me understand what it was to be a professional, what it was to perform. I will never forget that. You know the relationship I had with him so I will always carry some of the stuff that he was doing.”

 

Fair comment, he was never going to say he was using him as inspiration now. Only people like Keown or Bobby Pires say things like that with a straight face these days. Thierry certainly looks the part in front of the cameras. That job is going to be so tough. He’ll get an initial bump from the players, but after that, it’s all about how his ideas are transmitted and how well he gets along with the players. Very exciting times for him.

Great news on the injury front… AMN is back in training, and so is Laurent Koscielny. If anyone is going to get our defending back on an even keel, it’s that guy. He’s now 33 years old. Incredible. Where did the time go? I miss him. I miss the 29-year-old him. But whatever, he’ll be well received, especially with Liverpool coming up!

Right, short post today, see you in the comments.

P.S. My podcast equipment, STOLEN. Can you believe that shit?

Ignore Graham62 it’s his dementia kicking in. His nurse will be along shortly to give him his tablets and take the phone off him.

Hi Berry

Un nai nai…Campbell was given £100k a week because he was a free transfer. Over a five year period that would have amounted to around £26m. Transfers are a financial combination of up front fee and on-going wage cost and to have acquired Campbell for the total outlay of £26m over five years was cheap. Remember, Ferdinand went to United for £30m (?) with wages on top.

Jackonory springs to mind when reading your posts.

Better correct it before Bamford notices.

Well don’t then….

“Hazard: I could finish career at Chelsea ”

…”If they pay me enough” – at least more than Real Madrid would do…
pathetic, really.

Graham62

Amazing that those who seem to be getting pissed of with the never ending Wenger attacks, are those same individuals who sat on their asses for a decade cheering on the regime.

Two faced would be an understatement.

Lol!!

Bob N16

Cheering on the team Graham, subtle difference. See if you can get your head around that.

From where I stand, Wenger’ s name was sung only after we knew he was leaving, as there was sufficient residual respect.

Otherwise the team was the subject of singing.

HighburyLegend

R. Williams’s “Sing when you’re winning” was Wenger’s favourite song during the last 10 years in the PL and in the CL.

HighburyLegend

And it was also the favorite song on Untold, of course.

Another classic gem : “Let me entertain you”.

Victorious

Amazing that those who seem to be getting pissed of with the never ending Wenger attacks, are those same individuals who sat on their asses for a decade cheering on the regime.” Careful now G62, when you come up with stuffs like this then we’re left with no choice than to believe Stefano14 in his suggestion of you struggling with dementia I mean you go on and on about the previous manager all day, everyday without ever making inputs on some other much more interesting topic I once mentioned of you being a bit obsessed which admittedly was tongue in… Read more »

Talking about Untold…
(lolz)

Victorious

United are a joke of a club and have a joke of a Manager in charge so all in all a good fit, everyone is loving seeing their decline and yet their deluded fans still think they are a good team. All they are is a bunch of overpaid mercenaries, Pogba wants out, Lukaku wants out, Martial wants out and already Sanchez wants out, quite funny watching the soap Opera that is Man Utd.

Hope chavs drive in the final nail on the losers tmao

Is it only me or Something about the site is off
Dunno Why I have to input my details everytime I make a comment?
I mean it’s tedious enough reading the repetive rehashing of the same subject by the usual suspects not to add this as well

We got a bug.

For once victorious is right, it’s really annoying.

AKBs are like American Democrats. They’ve lost the power and will never get it back. They’ve ripped off the Obama/Wenger bumper stickers and hope nobody remembers they actually supported that fool. So they constantly come on here asking people to stop talking about their past mistake. Own it Bitches. It’s our club now!

Bob N16

Kc…you’re talking nonsense. It’s OUR club, divisiveness is b@llsh@t.

Marko

AKBs are like American Democrats.

It’s always looked the other way round to me but anyway let’s stay away from that shite

The more time goes by the more I like Emery.

No excuses, always stating that we have to improve just gets on with his job.

I feel really confident about our future with Sanllehi, Mislintant and Emery.

Leedsgunner

Oh hum, the BBC doing their best to discredit Arsenal yet again. We’re not REALLY that good, they say according to the stats… we’ve just been lucky. I doubt they would say the same type of comments if Tottenham were in our run. No doubt, if Pochettino had managed to get Spurs on a 9 game winning streak despite not having signed anyone this summer… they wouldn’t be able to contain themselves about his supposed brilliance. “Spurs this, Spurs that.” Remember last season when they beat Juventus and Real Madrid… you would have thought peace had broken all over the… Read more »

@ un na unai Emery…. stop been a bruised cunt and be a man… or are you his bitch zidane spent 26months at madrid, without buying any galactic to the squad he met…. 1) Gave barca a run for the title until the final match day, just missing out on 1 point… 2) got a double in his first full season… 3)got the third consecutive CL tr4phy and lost the league but a whopping 17 points… and at the end stepped down…not trying to cling on to power thinking about his first 26months, all in all….Zidane achieved more in 26… Read more »

“BBC, give it a rest. Your continual running down of Arsenal is really lazy, boring and long past its sell by date.”

Yeah ,you’re right it’s pathetic isn’t it..

I would imagine you are feeling how posters like myself,bob16,victorious,Stefano Charlie etc have been feeling over the last few years after reading the constant drivel on le grove from the wenger obsessives…and yes it was “lazy and boring ” .

Pierre calling other people Wenger obsessives………………………. lol

Pierre

Yep..pessimistic pat always lived up to her name…was one of those whose “continual running down of Arsenal was really lazy, boring ” must like the BBC.

Leeds I’m quite happy with it. We kind of deserve all the pessimism and negativity the media can muster because of how we’ve behaved in recent years. But right now I’m quite happy that Emery is getting to work a little bit under the radar. That is why his attitude is exactly right as well in terms of demanding improvement. Emery has been in charge for about 2 months in terms of actual football but he’s suffering being colored with a brush based off of the last 6 years of dismal football and predictable failure. I’m happy for that to… Read more »

Sounds dumb as fuck, but oh well

Will you all just give it a rest! Jeeez! Both sides of the coin seem to be obsessed with Wenger. Fuuck sakes! Now the club is owned by some factions …..i thought being a supporter meant seeing Arsenal do well and the more the merrier, blah blah…one thing the spuds and mancs and bindeepers sure enjoy doing is laughing at Arsenal supporters, the divisive, shit slinging going on is laughable, even after Wenger has left….seems the obsession is more than just supporting Arsenal, people love to get on the blog to waste time slamming each other and talking shit all… Read more »
