You know when people are like, ‘Christmas has started because the Pret Christmas Latte just dropped’ or something nauseatingly basic like that? The football equivalent is, ‘you know summer has started when Ornstein drops a bombshell that Arsenal will be shite in the transfer window.’
He’s only gone and done it AGAIN.
Top level: ‘It’s going to be a bit bland’
If we lose against Chelsea, £40m is our starting point.
We’re going project youth with a bit of experience (same as last summer).
We want a centre back, an Aaron replacement, and a winger type entity.
Additionally, if there is an extra special deal, we’ll chase a left back, right back and a striker.
ARSENAL WILL NOT BREACH FFP
Thank fuck for the last snippet, I know there’s been a lot of grumblings in the community of late about making sure we don’t EVER break a single rule, right now, I’m just letting off a massive sigh of THANK FUCK that we’re going to play it safe.
So what to make of this goss fest?
Well, don’t wet those panties you absolute man child. Also, why are you wearing panties? Grow up and step away from your mum’s lingerie drawer you 35-year-old freak. Get your 2001 Beano branded specials on and let’s dive into the mixer like peak Bobby P against Pompey.
If we are a Europa League club, blasting money away isn’t sensible. The MIGHTY Swiss Ramble has some analysis on how badly we’ve been rocked by the step-down.
So the benefits of qualifying for the Champions League over the Europa League are clear. As it stands, English CL clubs have earned well over twice as much as EL clubs – even though 2 have reached the final:#LFC €107m#THFC €102m#MUFC €93m#MCFC €93m#CFC €40m#AFC €36m pic.twitter.com/r82tADlaaN

We have a lot of expensive dross in the squad and I’d imagine Stan is asking Raul to realign the wage bill and move on the shite before we start going nuts again. £235m a year in wages is outrageous for the return.
Secondly, there’s some heated debate over whether the Ornstein budget figure is right. Some say we’re hiding our improved financial success, some say the number is what it is.
This is Gambon from the comments on where the new cash is coming from.
💰New club level seats £5m
💰Adidas £30m
💰Emirates 12m
💰Visit Rwanda £10m
💰New TV deal £10m
I’ve heard the lower number since November, and I’d say if we were looking at a £100m starting point, we’d have loosened the purse strings in January. Telling that we didn’t do that, isn’t it?
It’ll be interesting to see how hard we go at freeing up cash this summer. Mustafi and Xhaka should surely be heading for the exit door, there should be £70m incoming for those two alone. Auba is being linked to Madrid for £85m. Love him to bits, he’s helped shape our season, but he’s 29 so don’t be sentimental about this. The biggest travesty of the latter years of Arsene is his hoarding of players. We need to learn how to sell at peak, he’s hit peak, so we should absolutely take that cash if it’s on offer and invest like Liverpool did when they earned a big windfall. I’d take losing a 29-year-old versus having to lose a kid to find the next step.
Also, don’t moan at me and starting bleating on that he’s our best player… who did you vote for in the Arsenal Player of the Season Award?
What?
Speak up?
Thought so.
You hypocritical disgrace.
Drop transfer exits like I’ve laid out and you’re at £190m for spending power. You can buy many nice toys with cash like that. Then think of all the other players we could shift on… Elneny, Chambers, Mikhi, Jenks… there’s £30m in that mix.
Basically, don’t read into the £40m like that’s as far as the summer goes. It simply says to me that selling players is key to a hype summer execution.
Cut away all of the speculation, which could be spot on, or it could be really badly wrong (Ornstein had us with a £100m budget in January), the real story for me is that Edu only has an offer on the table, he hasn’t said yes.
Emery and Raul are at the wheel. We know they like sniffing around that bargain section. They’re the footballing equivalent of yellow sticker sandwich eaters. They don’t even like medium rare beef and Stilton… but if that sticker says 26p, it’s in the basket, no questions asked. Denis Suarez was a brown banana that was found under the fridge, the yellow sticker was just bants… but someone bought it, you know who? Yep. Yep.
So our summer is going to happen without the future architect of the club sailing the ship. Sven, love him or hate him, helped navigate us away from players like Banega, Nzonzi, Malcolm, and Denis Suarez. What is going to happen now? I like Cagigao, he sourced Santi, Bellerin and Cesc… but how much power will he be given?
Emery isn’t good at spending money if you look at some of the players he’s been responsible for in the past, he likes old and slow… or just utterly Suarezy. Raul wouldn’t be hiring a TD if he knew how to build a squad. Seems like a recipe for expensive mistakes. It looks like we’re going to head into next season without a vision or direction again. It’s spend and hope. I hate that. It is never going to work when those above us are driving towards an exciting vision mapped to a plan (Not Chelsea, lolololol).
Hopefully, I’m wrong. Nkunku looks a player when I’ve watched him. Djené has a lot of hype around him and £13.5m seems a bargain. However, there’s a bad stench of Rabiot-to-Arsenal everywhere you read, the guy has a piss poor attitude and didn’t like Emery last time around. Then I worry we’ll rekindle bland dreams of the past, Perisic or Carrasco are weighing heavily on my mind. Players past their prime, or with Ozil like attitudes to the game.
I don’t want to fuck about with talent that has temperament issues. Just give me young prime meat that wants to explode onto the scene. £75k a week or less. No mega contracts that make them fat and lazy. Let’s operate on a lean model and make sure hunger is central to their MO… just like it is at Spurs. I read a Poch article the other week that said he loved the players who want to leave because they care about success, be wary of those who thrive in comfort. Who is begging to leave Arsenal? Says a lot… right? A few too many just in it for the cashed paycheque.
Anyway, a real mixed back. Needless to say, summer will be busy. x
P.S. Souness and Keane FURIOUS that once again, they are proved wrong by a foreigner with better ideas of how the game should be played (tackles number). Arteta helping to architect one of the smartest off the ball sides the Premier League has ever seen, I’m welling up everyone, someone pass me a tissue, so emosh.
I think the only way you can really get the best out of Auba & Laca is to play a 4-3-3 with Auba playing a similar role to David Villa at Barca, MBappe at PSG last year.
Sell Mykhitaryan and Iwobi, bring in a quality wide forward.
Then you need to completely change the midfield.
Ditch Ozil and Xhaka. Bring in mobile athletes that can tackle, pass, create and score.
@Dissenter,
You keep taking cheap shots at people all day long and when after months of repeated abuse by you and Marko I make one snarky comment, you suddenly cry like a virgin who has seen a penis for the first time.
Talk about snowflake and double standard.
My apologies if my sense of humour has greatly offended you.
In the crazy world we are in where Ander Herrera can command a 300k weekly wages on a free transfer… I can see a sucker-club paying between 80-100 million for Ericksen.
It defies logic but so are all these transfers we have recently seen.
Valentin
You were too busy chest-pounding to notice that I actually thanked you for the correction.
No one has called you nothing that you’re not.
You’re fond of ITK gross overstatements and blatant lies
All types of lies; soft, hard, grey, yellow…every type under the sun.
Like I said to ya, sod off.
Gambon
We will need to spend £200M to build a team which can play 4-3-3. None of our midfielders are good at possession and cycling of the ball. 4-2-1-3 is the most logical formation given our resources. I don’t like Ozil but with two defensive mids behind him he can be handy. Not like he is going anywhere. So we need to play a formation which suits him and does not require huge investment. Auba is not that shoddy playing right wing.
I think the fear is that if we lose sell off either of Laca or Auba we would be stuck with Nkettiah as back-up
That’s not going to scare any defender in the league.
suddenly cry like a virgin who has seen a penis for the first time.
Valentin keep your stories of how you lost your asscherry to yourself
@Gambon, Whatever formation we play, the problem is that nobody in this squad is a pacy winger with dribbling skills. When faced with compact defense, we have nobody to unlock them via dribbling, nobody would do an intelligent run behind the defense. Out of desperation we then all pile forward and leave ourselves open to counter-attack. That was the same under Wenger. We need to buy somebody like Pepe. If he is out of reach financially, I would go for George Ntep on a season loan with an option to buy. Batshit crazy and currently in a standoff with his… Read more »
Zaha definetly improves us. People just have a dislike for him which I understand.
Last two seasons he’s been top of the list for the most dribbles past players even eclipsing Hazard this season.
Is that not we need? He’s scored some class goals this season also. Knows the Prem
Baller!
benny
lol I caught that too from Un. It really was the first one of its kind. No sense of irony in some of these folk.
Honestly if the plan is to play one of our strikers as a wide midfielder, we’re better of selling and buying…….a wide midfielder.
It makes sense
Samesong
I think it’s the “big club ” mentality that may be lacking in Zaha.
It may be that he has stayed in Palace too long and is more attuned to trying to avoid relegation than fight for bigger stuff.
The skepticism is justifiable and I do think he has to make a step up in any big club he goes to. No one is going to pass the ball to him as much as he gets at Palace who relies on him to create almost everything.
Mid
70M (assuming we win Europa) plus proceeds from sale of Mustafi and Xhaka can help us get a new winger, a new CM and a new CB. I guess one of the three can be a marquee signing and the other two good to decent players in the range of 20-25M.
Valentin you call someone a snowflake and complain about me abusing you. First off I’ve never abused you I’ve called you a liar after a series of lies you’ve said. And that’s literally it
” No one is going to pass the ball to him as much as he gets at Palace who relies on him to create almost everything.”
He passes the ball 29 times per game.
At Arsenal, he would easily get more of the ball.
I think people dont realise how much Palace rely on him from an attacking point of view.
He would have much better players alongside him at Arsenal.
Diss
Zaha has lived in london most his life I know people that know him. It’s a big culture shock to move to Manchester and get settled in.
He would be a big fish at Arsenal at United he had no chance.
Both our strikers are pretty good. If either can fetch something close to £80m pretty sure you have to do it. Arsenal were overly reliant on them two this season but that’s because the quality in the other positions was not there. Whether Zaha or Pepe arrives here and comes good or not is not the issue, you need to have a fucking plan before moving forward. Doubtful it’s a good idea to try and sign someone regardless of how skilled they are if the club don’t have a vision for where to put them on the pitch. If the… Read more »
Zaha at Crystal Palace is trying to be the main man. Until the Belgium Batman arrived, they did not have anybody to finish all the chances he created. Benteke was their main striker and he scored ONE goal in the premiership this season. Of course it was against Arsenal.
In contrast if he were to join Arsenal, Zaha would have Lacazette/Aubameyang at the end of the movements. He would be just one cog in the Arsenal attack rather than cog, shaft and motor.
suddenly cry like a virgin who has seen a penis for the first time.
Does anyone see what he’s implying here? I saw a vagina when I lost my virginity. Still cried
Zaha cannot afford to hug the ball as much as does with Palace
Most of the times he gets the ball for Palace, it’s to draw an infraction on the opposition so Palace can use the dead-ball.
He looked untouchable that last game because we played a muppet midfield and Mustafi was gifting goals.
I too want Zaha but he has to bring more to his game.
Tr7- Well I guess I think the Priorities should be.. 1.) Replace Mustafi 2.) Starting LB .. Monreal is ok for backup. Bellerin injury depending might need a RB too. This also allows us to sell Kola. 3.) CM to replace Xhaka. or Ramsey if you prefer. I would like to move on from Xhaka. 4.) Winger to replace Mhki and Iwobi from starting lineup. Auba in theory could play a floating role. or we start Laca some matches and Auba some to keep them fresh. 5.) Another winger. sell Mhki. 6.) Another CM If we get 1 through 4… Read more »

Your definition of lying is any fact presented that you disagree is a lie. Everybody knows that you are a flat Earther. Don’t matter with fact.
Your technique is to misrepresent what people says or focus on a detail irrelevant to the point made.
https://statsbomb.com/2019/05/arsenal-season-review-now-what/
A statistical report card on Emery’s Arsenal which gives him a somewhat less than stellar review…..also suggests that there’s a risk Arsenal slides into mid table next year (depending on what happens in transfer market) and gets caught up by the likes of Wolves and Leicester.
I don’t necessarily agree with the conclusions but share it anyway for discussion/debate
I would say I would like to move on from Ozil too but I know that’s a pipedream.. for this summer.
Good piece on Emerys first season

I don’t get this obsession with selling our best assets specifically Lacazette. Aubameyang [32] and Lacazette [19] scored the bulk of our goals this season. That is going to be very difficult to replicate whoever you bring in. Arsenal need to hold onto both these players and improve within the squad our goalscoring options. At the moment we are not scoring enough goals elsewhere in the team. The club needs either a winger or midfielder to be recruited to replace Ramsey who can score at least double digit goals. What I do know is that Messrs Ozil Mkhitaryan and Iwobi… Read more »

Right back at you mate. Easy enough to prove some of the things you’ve said so have at it. Prove Steve Rowley is back at Arsenal. That Eboue has AIDS. That there was in fact double training sessions. Widely reported that Arteta turned down many jobs that one should be easy. Have at it. The Vieira autobiography stuff doesn’t prove that Wenger kicked him out of the club
AlexanderhenryMay 15, 2019 12:37:30 Pedro It’s as I predicted. Despite the new management structure, Kroenke is looking to replicate what wenger delivered for most of his reign: CL football on a budget. Most arsenal fans must be starting to accept that a genuine title challenge is a very long way off and are now desperate for top four which, you’ve got to admit, is deeply ironic. Can arsenal bring the 4th place trophy back home with a combination of project 2.0 and shrewd, cheap buys? Maybe, but we’ve been here before haven’t we? In won’t be easy anyway.

It is certainly possible that Arsenal could win the EL, and execute a very good summer window where they bring in ample amounts of young talent on a tighter budget. However, if that doesn’t happen, then there’s the real potential of Arsenal slipping out of the big 6 and descending further into chaos.
So without a good transfer window we could slip further behind. Pretty much a given
@Marko,
Again you are doing it. You can’t help yourself in mis representing what I’ve said.
I did not say that Wenger kicked Viera out of the club. I said that Viera wanted to stay to finish his career at Arsenal but the club kicked him out. This is exactly what he stated and he blamed David Dein for shopping him around and accepting Juventus offer.
This is exactly what Viera wrote verbatim in his autobiography, but of course because that contradicts your opinion, it’s a lie.
You did in fact say Wenger kicked him out though. That’s why I parked up. A known Wengerite looking at rewriting history in his favor. He spent the previous two summers trying to engineer a move out of Arsenal and away from Wenger and then you’d have people believe he was kicked out of the club. He wanted out
Lol can’t wait to see The people’s favourite Iwobi on the wings.
Snobby bastards!
Receding made a very good suggestion about adding Iwobi as a sweetener for any transfer bid for Zaha.
Will Palace see Iwobi as good-enough for them?
I really want Leeds back in the premier league with the added bonus of Bielsa as their manager.

Funny mate
The 2018-19 season was far from a vintage Arsenal season, having to rely on lots of positive variance in attack along with an excellent Leno season. It brings into question the coaching job that Emery did, even though some have pointed to an increase point total as proof of a successful debut year. The cumulative damage from years of squad mismanagement has left them with a roster that is short on prospects that are worthy building blocks, and having limited transfer funds to cover up the holes in place (especially if they don’t win the Europa League).
Un,
I’m confused….you wear a bra?
“Would I rather have another season like this one”
I’d have this season without Xhaka and Mustafi….yeah…things would be different with even Doucoure and a defender from one of the teams just below us not named Manhcester United…
Dissenter
It’s different with Chelsea – they’re about to go into a two window transfer ban, a paltry fee and it’s might as well keep him a year. Hazard is also several levels of good above Eriksen.
My point is don’t sell players who are producing on the cheap. It’s bad enough to have to look at taking a possible hit of Mustafi, Ozil, Xhaka etc but let’s not do it on the guys who aren’t on the list of “just get rid of”.
Words
It’s not uncommon.
We all have our crosses to bra
Viera was kicked out of the club, ironically after spending two years trying to leave.
Those are the facts.
I know that they don’t agree with your opinion.

You may be right but the way I look at it is Emery must UNLEASH LACAZETTE AND AUBA.

“The problem is, just like last season, this defensive approach simply isn’t working. Arsenal’s defensive and midfield personnel aren’t good enough to make the system work. The left side in particular is a major problem. Granit Xhaka is not nearly rangy enough in midfield, and his poor defensive instincts amplify his lack of mobility. Nacho Monreal has aged past the ability where he can comfortably defend in space. The motley crew of Arsenal center backs don’t do enough to pick up the slack when faced with that much swiss cheese in front of them. And while Lucas Torreira may yet… Read more »

How can Arsenal fix themselves? The obvious answer is by upgrading their personnel at the back, but that can’t happen until January at the earliest, and more realistically next summer. Until then, the team needs to figure out how to change their game to give the back half of the field some help. One obvious possibility is simply dumping Granit Xhaka in favor of a more defensive option. But, it’s unclear if Arsenal have such an option available. Matteo Guendouzi is the obvious choice but at 19, his defending is very active, but not positionally sound. It’s not immediately clear… Read more »

Azed,
I’ve been wondering for some time how to describe Emery’s Arsenal style/vision/ethos.
One word in the post you put up is all that’s needed: “efficient.”
Watch the scene though. Very funny. There is no modern Jack Nicholson equivalent. The Rock? Jack black?
I think that’s probably all we can expect from Emery – efficiency.
If he stays next season, the defence will probably be somewhat better, maybe the midfield will create a few more chances, but the football ethos will remain fundamentally reactive and “efficient”.
Ultimately that will probably prove not to be enough for Arsenal fans – it certainly already isn’t for Pedro and quite a few posters on here.
Trouble ahead…
““Pressing” was something of a buzzword when Emery was appointed in the summer. Perhaps this was because of the success that fellow Premier League managers Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino have had with variations on the approach, or then Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis’ description of Emery’s “progressive style of football”. A proactive, high pressing approach was what became expected, but it is not what has manifested. Arsenal are actually allowing opposition sides to complete slightly more passes on average (9.61) before making a defensive action than they did last season (8.96). When looking at their defensive distance,… Read more »
Emery is trying to introduce some new ideas to a squad accustomed to doing things a certain way. There are signs that his ideas are taking hold, even if it has not led to a substantial performance improvement, but it still feels too early to judge whether this is the correct course. Emery is turning a cruise ship around, and it will take time, but we can at least see that things are changing at Arsenal.

then manager gets rid of players who struggle to implement his ideas
I do think we will still struggle to move out players who aren’t capable or willing to play like the manager wants.
United will pay off Sanchez to Internext season [ as much as 60% of his wages] while Emery will still have to deal with two league assist/season Mesut Ozil.

I think that we need to have more creators on the wings- true wingers and one in the center… this makes our fullbacks stay back to help on Defense
Arsenal always push forward- even wenger days. We are always susceptible to the counter attack
If we had true wingers that would help… Wing backs leave us exposed too much
Whomever we get need to contribute to goals… we need them right left and center from our mids
No Dale you are the joker! So by your understanding a winger that dribbles and can score goal and assist will not improve us? So you will rather see Iwobi and mhkishit on the wings. Tell me how many games we had this season where we only managed one shot on goal if that? Yes we need defenders but you defend from the front no?

Surely Ozil must be first and foremost on the ‘get-rid-of’ list. Simply giving him away will save the Club £17 million per annum. But it’s about morale as well a money.
