I have to say SORRY for not attending the match review yesterday, I headed back to New York and didn’t have the time.
However, I did take in the Blackpool game. Miserable on so many levels, right? I’m not talking about the football, but more looking at a half-empty stadium half-full of fans who’ve been absolutely mugged off by that weird looking owner of theirs (defo wouldn’t want to peak at his internet history, or venture into his basement).
I’m not much of a protectionist, but I have to say, when it comes to football clubs, I really think the UK government should get involved to stop dickheads taking over and destroying things. I don’t know how you go about doing that, but football really is so much more than a business. It doesn’t even work like a business (clubs almost never die either). It’s all for the people and the communities. To do what he’s done is an assault on the town.
The game wasn’t up to much. Laurent K pulled out before the game throwing our defence into a shambles. I was surprised he didn’t opt for one of the kids to step into his shoes, but there you go.
It’s hard to lose your mind over a game against Blackpool, but it was thrilling to see Joe Willock grab two goals. I was a bit gutted for Eddie, he’s a very exciting player but he made some bad decisions in front of goal. He did work hard though, and here’s the important point: at least he was finding the positions and the runs to miss. Goals will come. Wouldn’t it be immense to have a striker in the ranks who could deliver that came from the academy? NOT HAPPENED IN OVER 30 YEARS.
Iwobi also had a positive impact on the game and I thought AMN looked very good in midfield in that more advanced position.
My big hope with the latest batch of young players coming through is that we see some growth with them towards the back end of the season. We can’t fall in love with another group only to see them all fuck off to Hull, Swansea and Birmingham (god damn it, I miss you Fran Merida). We have to see some progress, otherwise some serious questions need to be raised about the state of our academy. The production rate has been utterly pitiful over the last 20 years. The club need to move away from excuse making when it comes to the academy. Making it work is about hiring the best people, giving them the best young players and having a coaching setup that can build them into smart footballers and good humans.
KIT TIME:
Hmmm…
I was not immediately in the firm zone when I saw them.
However, the computer kits look nicer and I’m sure they’ll look way better on a human. A very solid start and the colours feel right, I like the blue that they’ve brought back into the mixer and you know they’ll make them to a high-quality (please, no plastic badge).
The Denis Suarez story continues to rumble on. Part of me feels a bit miffed that we’re losing someone like Ramsey and bringing in someone who feels less effective. However, hard to say Ramsey has had an impact on our season up until now. It’s not like we’re shipping out a powerhouse contributor to the first team. We’re hiring in a better technician out wide who can knit midfield and attack together with more efficiency. So really, it’s an upgrade on where we are.
I have no idea what we’re going to do with the defence. It’s clear that LK and NM are going to be injured most of the season. Mavrapanos needs to hurry up and get back into the squad and hopefully prove he’s more than a 4 game wonder. We were all very excited about him when he played last year. He’s very big, he’s quick on his feet and he has a lot of composure about his game. Forget that red card.
More and more, it looks like the second half of the season is going to be about stretching old men way too far, or blooding the kids and giving an honest appraisal of how hard we have to work the pound notes this summer.
I’m gunning for all the kids.
I really do detest the muppets online who try and destroy teenagers because they’re not Leo Messi after two games. Players rarely come fully formed. It takes time to adapt to the tactics, fitness levels and technical expectations of the league. The guys can grow if they’re given the chance. We can’t be writing them off after a dodgy touch in the FA Cup. Young players grow. Thierry Henry and PV04 were in no-mans-land before they came to us, then they exploded. Why? Because they were given room to grow.
I’d rather have a kid with a high ceiling than an expensive journeyman who has hit their peak.
Right, that’s me done, see you in the comments you beautiful people. x
CA,
the Man City offer was going to fetch us 60m for Alexis alone. Mister special talent Ozil should have been able to raise another 40m, no?! That’s 100m down the drain. Just kidding, we got Mkhitaryan and 350k pw Ozil. God bless that the other thing reported didn’t happen. You know, the 100m Thomas Lemar offer. Would have been the craziest thing I’ve seen in my life.
Just how clueless was Wenger?!
Likely that Chambers will again go on loan next season as we will not be getting market value for him. He signed a contract until 2022.
The real concern about our wages being out of control and having committed so much to two underperforming players in Ozil and Mkhitaryan is that we could be starting to see a house of cards. What’s the point of individuals like Sven and Raul sticking around if they have a severely restricted ability to do their jobs? I can see Sven in particular being snapped up by a more cash-heavy club. Look, we know management isn’t perfect, and Lichtsteiner has been a disaster (a free transfer one but with a decent one-year salary) but overall we did smart business in… Read more »
We signed anyone yet???
gambon
Trying to forget and forgive the “cluster fuck of decision making” is an impossibility.
Wenger and Gazidis somehow managed to pass things through the system (was there one?) that just didn’t make any sense.
I would love to know what they were both on during these negotiations.
That’s the only logical answer to it all.
BiG, I don’t think we should train our fire on anyone at the moment. The mistakes are in the past, although extremely costly, hopefully they at least serve for learning purposes. I, however, have shared my worries re the Arsenal people with power. We’ll see if they follow the trend of the ruthless decision making that they embraced the moment they lifted out of the table Ramsey’s contract. Clearly they think that the Welshman is not worth the 180k pw putting in perspective the player’s future contribution to our team and Emery’s plans. Given what we’ve seen from Ozil and… Read more »
looks like a loan with compulsory purchase, which means we have already commited £18m, maybe 20% of our summer budget
Expect some proper sales in the summer. By the summer they’ll know who they want to keep and who they can’t trust. I’d be shocked if next season you see Koscielny, Cech, Monreal, Mustafi, Ozil and Mhiki at the club. Not to mention question marks over one of the strikers and hopefully Xhaka. Basically we’ll be busy in the summer
BacaryisGod I don’t think Raul and Sven will have their hands tied for too long. They must have short-term, medium and long term plans. They have to weather a bit of a storm to keep us competing, possibly get into the CL through the back door until we clear out the junk. I’m pretty sure we pay them very good money and Arsenal is still a big club, lets not forget. It still has to be one of the most highly sought out projects because the owner that we all like to deride will not intrude into the daily function… Read more »
The only players that we can tap into the South American market are players that are not third party owned.
That will be about 5% of players on that continent.
Spanish FA regulate differently to 3rd party ownership . We adapted Prem rules- because of Tevez and Masc fiasco
Raul is probably not even aware of this fact.
Glad we have decided we are going to become a Latin themed club all of a sudden.
Suarez/edu/banega?
I would say this summer the club will want to offload:
Cech – end of contract
Ospina
Martinez
Jenkinson
Lichsteiner – end of contract
Monreal – end of contract
Chambers
Koscielny
Mustafi
Elneny
Ramsey – end of contract
Ozil
Mykhitaryan
With a possibility of Lacazette and Maitland-Niles even.
The question is can we get Ozil and Mykhitaryan out. At £500k pw, their salary could pay for 3 top class attackers.
Raul is probably not even aware of this fact.
No no just you
Mhiki will definitely go and I think by the summer Ozil will realize that him and his two fans that are left will have to go too. He’ll be so bad and non-essential by the summer (is already) that his advisers will be looking for something more fitting to his image. At least that’s the hope.
Marko
I think Mykhi has some Ozil in him as well.
He too will stay until he’s used up his contract. We are indeed stuck with him.
gambon
You missed Welbeck leaving on a free. There could be some serious cash freed up on the wage bill this summer.
Dissenter I’m not sure about that. I mean he was unwilling to stay at United in similar circumstances and he was on more there I believe. And his wages aren’t too astronomical too. Plus he’s not an obvious sponge like Özil
Marko
He thought Lichesteiner was a better bet than Chambers?
He thinks it wise to extend Elnenys contract but not Ramsey?
Who walks out the door for nowt!
I think he is unsuited to our club
I think he is better suited in Spanish football – where recruiting a Latin tech director would make sense…
Mousa Dembele: Tottenham midfielder set for £11m Beijing Guoan move
See how our rivals manage their squads. Spuds can get a decent fee for a 31 year old with SIX months left on his contract while we are losing our players for free.
At some point the advantage of having more commercial income is nullified.
Dream10
“and with our defensive unit, they will get plenty of opportunities.”
No change there then .
I have an idea …..how about the coaching staff try and create a cohesive defensive unit …let’s not forget that we did buy 5 defensive based players a few months ago and none of those are injured……
It might just work.
Marko
I agree Ozil’s wage is crazy but if his image is damaged it could cost him other income. He might be willing to drop his demands to counter that loss, we just need someone with deep pockets and either no brains or football knowledge to come along.
Do you think Pierre could get a job as a DOF or CEO of a football club?
Pierre
Hope this is Emery’s only season as manager of the Arsenal.
Charlie Goerge, “He thought Lichesteiner was a better bet than Chambers? He thinks it wise to extend Elnenys contract but not Ramsey? Who walks out the door for nowt!I think he is unsuited to our club I think he is better suited in Spanish football – where recruiting a Latin tech director would make sense…” You come across as the textbook definition of a xenophobe. Elneny’s contract was in the 50-60k range while Ramsey was asking for the second biggest salary in the club, same range as Auba. I wouldn’t have extended Elneny’s contract and support Raul yanking off Ramsey’s… Read more »
Why doesn’t our limited management structure accept that Ozil is here- and if he his going to be here a while – try and get the best out of him?
After all – is that the definition of management.
And if Emery and co. Can not.
I suggest – like every other well run club- wr find another coach who can..
E.g. Pogba/mourinhio
I am xenophobe -even tho I wanted Arteta to be our manager
I just don’t think our disparate trio are fit for our football
And have given u countless examples.
Name me one CLUB – who has pulled a contract on 28 year- and now they are getting zilch for him!
Just one CLUB,PLEASE ( dissenter)
“Why doesn’t our limited management structure accept that Ozil is here- and if he his going to be here a while – try and get the best out of him?”
Nah they’ve decided he’s some German cunt and are running him out of the club. Same reason with Ramsey after all he is Welsh.
Charlie George
Well Arsenal – you should have asked for one other club.
Marc
Hmmm, I really think Ozil’s commercial value plummeted once he left the German set-up acrimoniously. His biggest selling point was his unique place in German society; he was the poster boy of the inclusive modern German society.
His back is against the wall and he knows he won’t get it any easier. Honestly I would stay if I were in his shoes. He’s in control at Arsenal when you still have fans like Pierre singing his praises no-matter-what.
Dissenter
No but he might be able to leverage something in the US, China or even Turkey. You have to remember his footballing career is in it’s twilight, I’m pretty sure he’ll want some sort of fall back.
Asked about Diaz’s departure, Guardiola said: “Like I said many times, I don’t want people that don’t want to stay here.” Why stick to players that want to leave like it happened with Alexis? It’s so easy and simple. Pep has said it in one sentence. More on the matter: “Create a good second league and you will see how many good young players will be in the Premier League,” said Guardiola. “Play against real teams, compete every single weekend, with real games, fighting to survive. After, maybe the managers in the Premier League will have more courage. “But now… Read more »
Ozil was immense against Leicester
He is inconsistent
He is frustrating.
The best coaches tho get those types of players playing more consitently.
Calling him a cunt – and then calling me xenophobic
Charlie George
Every post you put up here or or any other site, be it Arsenal truth or Untold is all about nationality or ancestral origin. It’s not to say that you’re wrong 100% of the time.
You keep referring to Emery as a “latin manager”, why does it always come to that for you?
Actually Emery is a Basque – they tend to be quite touchy about their heritage etc.
@Dissenter
Don’t you remember the last manager the Gaul one?!
Usually a lot of posters in here were quite reticent to the idea of mass exodus of player leaving in one fell swoop, because of the so called disruption it allegedly wil cause to the squad
I don’t hunk we have much voice now. We’ve carried too many shite players, time to be ruthless
raptora
I’ve said for years we need “B” teams. They should have to start in the lower leagues and should not be able to be promoted into the same league as the “A” team and there should be rules on number of players who have come through the youth system. It would really bring some competitiveness into the production of youth players.
Dembele will spend no longer tha 18 months in China, he’ll amass more money, there, than he has at aspirations for the last 2-3 years, then he’ll see out his days in Serie A or MLS
Carts
I think many are coming to the conclusion that when you need major surgery you get to a point of just get it over and done with.
My only desire is Arsenal to be successful
In order to be successful, In my opinion and whatever league you are in( and even more so with so little money) to have players and coaches who are familiar in their surroundings.
Speak the language
Know the league
Know the club
Arteta and Benetez were better bets than Emery
Emery is an underwhelming choice.( no fan wanted him. FACT)
Emery would be a better bet than Gareth Southgate as ‘real Madrid manager
Gareth Southgate would be a better bet than Emery as Arsenal manager
ETC ETC
Raul is probably not even aware of this fact
If a fucking idiot like you is aware, I’m sure almost everybody is aware
Who is this wanker?
He’s putting up a good fight to take the mantle from Pierre and UN
Charlie George There’s no example because we were one of the worst run teams on the planet with mistake after mistake in the past decade. Stashing money in the bank like a casino, over-relying of FFP, noy investing on right players, socialistic wages structure, keeping Wenger when it was clear he was on oxygen, etc. You’re misrepresenting the Ramsey transfer deal. Ramsey wanted more money [ I can’t fault home since we offered a lesser player in Chamberlain 150-180k weekly to avoid losing him to Liverpool]. There’s no way Mykhi should earn a penny more that Ramsey. There was an… Read more »
My last post is riddled with too many typos to make sense.
lol just when i thought the comments couldnt get anymore stuoid..
” We should basically sacrifice the cups until we are back in the top 4”
So if it takes 5 years to get into top 4 we should settle for winning fuck all.
Benitez – Clown who keeps currently saying it will be a miracle if Newcastle don’t go down.
Arteta – Never managed a single match.
Southgate – Only got the England job because no one else wanted it and then made really hard work of getting through pretty average teams. All in a World Cup where the established major teams (all except France) either went out early or didn’t qualify in the first place.
try and get the best out of him?
———————————-
Yeah I agree with this, I mean after that display against Leicester, why couldn’t they get that out of him again? Weird.
He thought Lichesteiner was a better bet than Chambers?
He thinks it wise to extend Elnenys contract but not Ramsey?
Chambers is shit and a CB
Lich is a fullback and signed for one season as a experienced vet. No way he was expecting to play as much as he did.
What does one have to do with the other?
Don’t think emery had much say to Elneny’s contract situation.
Ramsey leaving on a free is wenger’s fault you muppet.
Do you think before you type?
What’s a Benetez?
@Charlie George –
“Emery would be a better bet than Gareth Southgate as ‘real Madrid manager
Gareth Southgate would be a better bet than Emery as Arsenal manager”
Oh yeah? When is the last time an English manager has won the league?
Tabloid rumors
“Real Madrid have begun a move to try to sign attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen, 26, from Tottenham and are preparing what they hope will be a £100m deal. (Independent).”
I can’t believe Ericksen is daft enough to be playing on a 70k weekly wages. He ought to get Ozil’s agent ASAP.
Remember Wenger said that Spurs will stop spending once they build the stadium. Lets see how this goes. He forgot that clubs develop other sources of income like have good players on low wages to sell.
Dissenter
Yeah but how much of that money will the Poch see?
@Dissenter –
Doubt a club will drop £100m on a player who is out of contract next year..
Suarez has apparently told Barcelona he wants to move to Arsenal to reunite with Emery
Anyone seen the Standard article on Edu joining us as Football Director? Wtf is that about and why do we need him AND Sanllehi?
CG blames emery for not signing up Ramsey and says should Have signed him up and then sell him.
How’s that work again for all
Our other overpaid babies?
Jenkinson. Ozil. Etc. Because other teams want to buy our rejects on contracts that are double their worth.
Makes sense
You’re a bright one CG.
I have said for a few months now that the ozil/Emery situation is similar to pogba/Jose situation.
United fans got lucky ,the club have rid themselves of their problem and now pogba is showing what a good footballer he is with a manager who believes in him .
It’s now just about biding our time with the ozil/Emery situation ….I know who the fans will back when push comes to shove , and it won’t be Emery.
Dissenter
So the German scout and Raul have yanked the Ramsey contract
Their combined prem league experience 6 months
Ramsey 10 years.
You talk about money
Well, what the hell Raul and Sven are here for..?
Biscuits.
Like Ramsey
Like u and me
We want as much as we can.
It’s called negotiation
They have been inept, in the Ramsey withdrawn contract offer.
Unarguable.
@Pierre –
“….I know who the fans will back when push comes to shove , and it won’t be Emery.”
Yes… it will be Emery… Most fans are sick to the back teeth with Ozil and his shit.
Yes Pierre
We just need to get rid of Ozil
Problem solved.
Pierre how many managers do Ozil need to go through before he shows us how “good” he is.
Northbanker
I’m just throwing this out there but maybe the Standard is guessing at what his job title will be? Maybe he’ll be head of South American scouting!
No problem with Edu returning, the more ex-Invincibles at the club the better. Like how Bayern have a number of ex-players on their board.
I think Pogba’s performances are more down to a major “fuck you” to Mourinho and being played in a position that suits him more than having a manager who believes in him.
Ramsey isn’t worth the 100k he’s on now. Never mind what he was asking
Another over hyped Brit waste of money and space
Our backroom staff earned their money by pulling the contact. Saved us millions by not re signing just another “Jack Wilshere”
And if emery was part of the decision. Bravo
Charlie George
If Ramsey wanted to stay so much why didn’t he sign the £180k a week contract during the several months it was on offer. What is he too fucking lazy?
Pierre
If Ozil is as good as you think why isn’t any team trying to low ball us and get him from
Us. I mean every team would know he’s not emery’s favourite and could be had cheap
I mean being the best #10 in the world and Pierre’s #1 boy, would have every big team in the world chasing him
But not one. Not even when he was available on a free. Not even China wanted Ozil
Jim
Wait and see…atm fans are being brainwashed against ozil by the media but once he is back on the pitch the fans will back him (and Lacazette) .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po5xZaNosJc
That is the winger we should be getting. he’s way cheaper than Suarez and has a higher ceiling. Plus he would also be way cheaper.
Pierre
Most of the fans who sit near me think he’s a waste of space.
You really can’t refer to the other 2 people in your lounge as the fan base. The real things a tad bigger.
azed
Weren’t we linked to him by one of the papers?
Pierre
Why are you refusing to answer left’s question about you never calling out wenger for pulling laca??
How did we fare last year when Ozil played more than any other player
Seems to me we have got worse every years since Ozil showed up?
40 points back last season with the “chances created “ king and wenger the professor.
It’s now just about biding our time with the ozil/Emery situation ….I know who the fans will back when push comes to shove , and it won’t be Emery. What exactly has Ozil done is his time here to warrant the fans backing him?? Ozil met us as a champions league club and in his time here we became a Europa league club..seems you think fandom is placing certain individuals above the collective interest of the club.

Brainwashed by the media Hahahaha
First you lie about his games played stats.
Now you say it’s media brainwashing
Hahahaha
Aren’t we becoming too loaded with people with vague titles earning big wages. There’s a lot of role duplication going on at the club.
What exactly will Edu be doing that our current scouting structure can’t serve already.
…why all the sentimentality, just get the best man for the job. That’s how Mertasacker got the job of academy director even though he has zero managerial/administrative experience.
Wait and see…atm fans are being brainwashed against ozil by the media but once he is back on the pitch the fans will back him (and Lacazette) .
He was back on the pitch fairly recently and actually proved Emery and his detractors right. He has done at the top level of football, he simply can’t be trusted .
@Pierrie –
There is no need to wait and see, the fans are unequivocally on the side of Emery. Everyone has had enough of Ozil and his injuries. His lackadaisical performances on the field.
We have a new manager bringing new ideas to the team for the first time in 15 years and you think the fans are going to turn on him over Mesut Ozil? Really?
Joe
Don’t take the piss it’s a real fucking conspiracy. Emery’s braining washing Sanllehi who’s brainwashing the media who are brain washing the fans.
What I really want to know is were do the aliens fit into this?
Lil’ P. keeps on defending Ozil ??
Maybe because he’s the last fossil left from wenger’s disastrous transfer policy ??
Dissenter
Well Edu since his retirement has worked as Corinthians FC director of football, and assisted in coordinating the Iranian national team in the 2014 world cup and is presently the General coordinator of the Brazilian national team so i don’t see the comparison with Metersacker or even Jens Lehman
‘What I really want to know is were do the aliens fit into this?’
Duh.
They’re the ones with the special telescopes you have to look through to see what Ozil adds to the team. Our earth based telescopes are far too weak for us mortals to see what he adds.
That is why the government want to deny aliens exist to prevent us getting our hands on these telescopes and therefore feeding into the media brainwashing against Ozil.
I thought everyone knew that.
Marc It’s all fake news. I can see Pierre sitting in his flat. Wenger posters all over the wall. A shrine of Ozil. A red hat that says ‘make arsenal great again’ yelling at sky sports as they report on Ozil being “injured” again oddly enough just as we face Chelsea but should be ready for when we play Brighton at home in May. Maybe Ozil was probed by aliens and that’s why he is depressed and “injured” all the time??? My other theory is Tarik Amir got ahold of Ozil and are blackmailing him with pictures of Ozil wenger… Read more »
Joe Firstly I’m not sure what you mean by “as good as you think” .. No club will pay his wages and a few so it’s pointless even discussing selling him for a fee. As for no club wanted him ,if you look at it logically and go back 12 months , how would you explain why Arsenal offered him 350,000 a week in the knowledge that no other club wanted him. It makes no sense ,Arsenal could have offered him half that amount and he would have taken it because ,in your opinion, no one wanted him. The 2… Read more »
@Pierre –
“how would you explain why Arsenal offered him 350,000 a week in the knowledge that no other club wanted him.”
Everyone, including you, knows exactly why he got that contract, not because he was worth anywhere close to what he received, it was entirely down to the Sanchez situation.
Joe
Strange I had an image of Pierre sat at home with a tinfoil hat on screaming “they’re going to get us all only Ozil can save us”.
“What I really want to know is were do the aliens fit into this?”
Marc
Someone is obviously brain washing Emery because with all the video sessions he has, he must have seen Ozil’s chance created stats, most appearances and the likes.
My 2 cents say the aliens have Unai in their trap.
Jim
“We have a new manager bringing new ideas to the team for the first time in 15 years and you think the fans are going to turn on him over Mesut Ozil? Really?”
Yes…
Oh and what new ideas ….run ,run and run a bit more , knacker the players out which leads to fatigue and injury despite Arsenal playing no champions league .
Oh and the new idea of defending which we are still waiting for ….
Careful everyone Pierre will have an embolism!
Pierre, you’re so young and ill-informed. Ozil entered the last 6 months of his contract, therefore Arsenal wouldn’t be made privy to any ‘offers’ made for Ozil’s services. At that point, everything would go through his agent, who then held all the cards and could’ve told (and most likely did) Arsenal that several ‘big offers’ had already been made. I said this to you the other day when you were as confused as to why Arsenal didn’t offer Ozil less money. The simple answer is that it was a blind auction for his services (Arsenal were convinced there were other… Read more »

“Weren’t we linked to him by one of the papers?”
We were supposed to sign him along with Nwakali but somehow, the deal went South. Reports say he’s contract is up in the summer and I’m pretty sure if we offered Villareal 10M this January, they will take it.
Marc
You’re lowering yourself to Joe’s level ….choose your friends a bit more wisely .

How about giving the man, more than 6 moths? How long were you willing to give Wenger?

Trust me I’m on a much lower level than Joe. Still several levels higher than you though.
Oh and what new ideas ….run ,run and run a bit more , knacker the players out which leads to fatigue and injury despite Arsenal playing no champions league .
Yep lots of running in top level football these days if you want to succeed
Tell Klopp his players need to stop running, go watch the players at City and Liverpool to see the running they do over 90 minutes. Go out and enjoy yourselves is not a valid tactic these days.
Don’t let United beating Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Cardiff and Reading distract you.
RH
Who run the furthest …Arsenal players …running doesn’t help us defend does it.
Klopp has refined his methods has he had the intelligence to realise that his methods were not working as his players were running out of gas…
No “Leg End” ??
Sad, I am.
(lol)
Receding
Thanks for the Edu update
Its just that he’s more suited to a DoFand he’s over-qualified to work under a chief scout.
I have said for a few months now that the ozil/Emery situation is similar to pogba/Jose situation. How about the Ozil Wenger situation? Because he’s been an issue for longer than how long Emery’s been here. 8 and 9 assists the previous two campaigns on top of the inconsistency and on top of the illnesses and fake injuries show he’s been a problem for a while. It’s now just about biding our time with the ozil/Emery situation ….I know who the fans will back when push comes to shove , and it won’t be Emery. Vast majority of fans want… Read more »
