GOOD EBENING.
Does it ever get old? Absolutely not.
You know what does get old? Bag bargers on the train. Like, mate, I am not putting this slim bag on the floor… why are you assaulting my bag and trying to adversely impact my ability to read a broadsheet during commuter hours? Here’s my thing, if I was just really fat, you wouldn’t be barging my back fat, would you? It’s abuse, plain and simple. I need to campaign on this after I drive my oat milk and EMERY OUT agenda over the line.
Talking of BIG UNAI… there was a delicious report from JC about his new end of year reviews with the players that went down like a sack of potatoes.
I absolutely love this.
In the normal course of business, sitting down with your manager is important to your career, because there are a lot of soft and hard skills in business and it’s hard to gain a full picture of your person.
But football? Precious children being sat down and told what the manager likes and dislikes… I’d be fascinated to understand what the output of this was supposed to be.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO MESUT?
‘Mesut, I noticed you mouthed something to me at the final. Care to explain?’
‘Mesut, do you like to run anymore?’
‘Talk to me about assists, where have they gone?’
How do you frame things with Mustafi?
‘Mustafi, attention to detail is an issue’
He apparently didn’t let on about the future of the players… BUT SURELY THE POINT OF A REVIEW IS TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE?
If you landed a good review, great. But if you landed a brutal one, you’re going to go straight to your agent and give them the lowdown. You’re going to stew on it all summer in paranoia. You’re going to read the paper talk and then if you’re not sold, you’ll come back in bad mental shape.
When Cesc, Nasri, Robin and Song were agitating for moves, it apparently rocked preseason badly. The focus was all over the place and the vibe at the training ground was very off. Having players not clear on their futures is not a good thing for our preparation, and we need to have everything in fine shape this season because we could exit that first five games on the back foot in a big way.
These Brent-esque moves the Emery team keep dropping are exactly the reason we need Edu in the building quickly. The club needs his light tan Crockett & Jones on the ground immediately, because there is so much shabby stuff going on around the place. Dave Priestly has overseen the greatest Arsenal end of season choke in living memory. We have bus drivers running motivational speeches. Our high performance leader has been chopped… and weirdly, because we’ve been so inept, we don’t need to hire a new one because WE HAD TWO HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADS AT THE CLUB FOR TWO YEARS.
Well, it seems our fresh fragranced Brazilian savior is working the contacts list already. We’ve been linked with Reinier. This midfielder is fast, strong, has light feet, a brutal shot, he has an imposing 6ft1 frame and he’s extra exciting because he is Brazilian.
It also looks like we’re squeezing the very last drops of juice out of the Sven Mislintat black book… we’re close to signing Markus Schubert of Dynamo Dresden on a free transfer. This is a smart move, he played 43 times last season and kept 12 clean sheets, he’s regarded as an excellent prospect. That’s great news and starts to calm the Sevilla MKII nerves I had at the start of the summer (yesterday).
There are also SPICIER THAN A HOT PEPPER rumours linking us to St Etienne’s 18-year-old centre back, Saliba. He looks an incredible talent, he’s great on the ball, immensely built for someone so young and he’s exactly the sort of talent you want to be snapping up before they become a £80m player with Monaco or Dortmund. That’s smart scouting. I still have worries that he’ll be too green for the Premier League, but regardless, he’s the sort of investment we SHOULD be making.
Fuck Ever Banega.
Lucas Torriera HATES OUR LANDS.
“I don’t know if there are many things that I enjoy,” he said. “I think I had a better time in Italy.
“England is a totally different world. The language (barrier) has stopped me being able to relate with my team-mates and the people. It is very difficult when you can’t have dialogue.
“And then there is the weather. You go out in the morning and it is cloudy, you arrive at your house in the afternoon and it is cloudy.
“We are from here (Uruguay) and we are used to always – or almost always – having the sun. But as the years go by, I’m going to adapt.”
“We all know what England is about and what the Premier League is about. I made a very important jump at a football level.
“At Arsenal we played four competitions, while in Sampdoria I was used to playing in only two – the Serie A and Coppa Italia.
Lolz. Context police out in force yesterday.
Lucas is a darling of the fan base… we love a terrier, and he’s certainly one of them. However, it was pretty clear that his little legs struggled in the back half of the season. Most players fade in their first year in the Premier League, so I’m not bothered about that… but here’s the thing, he’s SO young, so if he does decide he wants to exit next season, we’ll make a ton of cash on him.
AC Milan are admirers of him and are looking at £35m as compensation. Love to see that Arsenal are getting the Ivan treatment here. We bought him for £30m. No way he’s leaving for anything short of £60m when he goes. He’s a top talent, but maybe needs a London chaperone if he’s pining after Italy. Someone get him down Pizza Express immediately.
Sarri is OFF to Juventus. The man never adapted to London, he wasn’t able to beat out player power, and the lack of smoking in the stadium drove him crazy. He’ll get more time at Juventus who are taking marketing to new heights. They’re trying to win the global content game by bringing an exciting brand of football to Turin, so he’ll get time and money there to make his mark. There was a lot of debate about him at the start of the season, but, he did his job, won a trophy and made it into the top 3. Is it fair to say he has sauce?
Now Chelsea are going hard for Frank Lampard. Their excaptain, one of the most productive midfielders in Premier League history, is being lined up to take over with Jody Morris. Seems Chelsea are into the notion of bringing an exciting idea to the fans. He’s young, he’s inexperienced, but the fans will be electrified, they’ll give him time and he ‘could’ do something incredible. They are a bigger club than us, now with more global prestige, and they are taking a bold risk.
When the time comes for Arsenal to replace Emery, will we do the same? It’s in Raul’s DNA. Barca take risks on talent they believe in. German clubs are masters of investing in innovative young coaches. Lyon just took a major chance on Sylvinho. United hired in OGS (lol). I fully expect as clubs get smarter, they will try and grow their own talent a little like RB has been doing, and the focus on the manager being the most important person at the club will fade.
It’s all about the infrastructure, fam.
All very interesting… but not as interesting as this next bit… footballers with tits.
Why not I guess? I’m getting one for my office. Buy yours here.
Don’t put yourself down too much Red, are you really that bad?

Jesus may have a release clause of 60m but he plays for Flamengos u20 team and has 1 year left of his contract so if there isn’t a lot of concrete offers for him he shouldn’t be that expensive.
We need a signing and a good one at that asap.
West ham signing Fornals means they now have 2 creative players better than anything we have in him and Anderson, that’s just fucking depressing. Atm our midfield is bottom half level, embarrassing for a so called big club.
CC
Fait’s fair. And I can only agree that UE did not help at all.
He looked lost the moment we lost after that “great” unbeaten run.
I say “great” because as you know there were so many games we were goddamn lucky in actually winning some of these games.
He never had a clear idea of how to set us up in most games, c.f. his half time subs he would do. He was supposedly a manager who watched the opposition through video and analysis. Well, fuck me, we saw none of this whatsoever this season.
DB10, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Leicester loved Wenger so much that they let Arsenal win. But this year they really wanted to beat that poor innocent Emery. Is this really what you are going with? You just reached a completely new level of twisted narrative to deny the fact Emery is mostly responsible for the end of season collapse. He underestimated those teams and Arsenal lost the top 4 position. The management team then thought that was not a big deal, because the Europa League was in the bag anyway. Now they know they are in a mess of their own… Read more »

This is not what I said. Read the posts I wrote instead of inferring crap I did not say.
And if you followed anything I write, when I do, I am no supporter of UE.

Yea, again I agree with that. This season coming is such a question mark, I personally didn’t get any sense of what might come this past season.
Have to sit and hope I guess
CC
This season is s huge turning point.
As i have mentioned before tbis TW is so important. The lack.of CL, as much as it will hamper us, will show us what cojones (trademarked by Troy Deeney) Raul has in regards to getting bsck us to where we should be.
As for Vinai, he better make his promotion count. Yes we do not have C.f. but telling new prospective sponsors that we are working towards it is where BS, in this case, has no place whatsoever.
We fuck up and we are definitively on a downward spiral.

David hiller,…As you say they earn to much now an many have no respect for anything…All this fuss now bout young English or any youth..Remember al the wenger signings at 14/15 gonna be next big thing…Where they now…Real Madrid lumping large on th3 Norway boy 4 years ago,,,,All tosh..Give youth a chance at your club they deserve one season to try.
Don’t forget that last year was a world cup year. Torreira not only ended up playing every 3 days for a period there, he also didn’t have a summer break as Uruguay went deep. No surprise that fitness would become a concern towards the end of the year. It is also part of the reason he didn’t play much early, either. Guess we needed to give him more time.
Db10
Yea this summer will tell us a lot about different characters at the club. Vinai and Raul are under the spotlight, and given the way we capitulated last season I think Emery is on the fire by Jan if we’re not doing the business.
For me this goes back to last summer, the lack of aggression taken to the squad which should’ve been part of the turnover, same for appointing a better manager. We went safe in both departments and it’s creeping up on us.
DB10,
My apologies, I had not read the original post.
From CC response, I misinterpreted what you had said.
Westham made some good signings last summer too
They’ve continued in the same vein this summer with this Fornals signing
Add the baggies to another club that has attacking midfielders better than anything Arsenal can muster

“For me this goes back to last summer, the lack of aggression taken to the squad which should’ve been part of the turnover, same for appointing a better manager. We went safe in both departments and it’s creeping up on us.”
Of course it all dates back to last summer
Never mind all the calamitous summers when Wenger was lord of the manor. There was even one summer window when we did NOTHING.
It all started one hot sultry summer day in 2018 it seems. Glad to see you’ve just found your voice.
CC I think Emery is on the fire by Jan if we’re not doing the business. I can only agree. We (or should I say Kroenke) cannot afford to be out of top 4 contention once again. We went safe in both departments and it’s creeping up on us. The, unfortunately, typical way we operate. I can only agree that had we been a bit more aggressive in the TW (mainly getting rid of underperformers) things may have been different this season in terms of rebuilding an identity for our team. They should have gone for a manager who would… Read more »
That strategy of trying to maximise the price we can extract from selling the players may backfire. It would be better to be done quickly. Pre-season training will start in a few weeks. We better have a full squad focus on the new season rather than half of the players still negotiating their exit. Some unsure whether they will be there. Also for the new arrival it would be easier to acclimate. Decide early on which players are the priority and get them. Sell the players we are not interested in keeping. Haggling over 300k for a month like we… Read more »

He’s certainly got no top level experience to convince anyone he can undertake such a seemingly daunting task
Might be another Raul puppet to potentially take the fall if or when it all eventually blows off
Nobody can move against the tide of changes. Every club wanting to go places is moving to bigger better stadium. Had we stay at Highbury, today we would the Charlton, QPR, Fulham of London. Highbury was 36,000 people with very little room for expensive boxes and club level seats that bring most of the match day revenue. David Dein wanted us to move to Wembley! After two season there, the move would have killed the club. I also think that we moved at the right time. Early enough to avoid the 2008 crash and it’s rising interest rate, while still… Read more »

I’m discussing the ‘new guard’ with DB10, so don’t be a dumb cunt. That started last summer when all the new faces came to be.
Interesting Sky Pod / The transfer talk with Honigstein whom went on the limb saying Ozil will 100% be at the club next season. His contract impossible to match, no realistic scenario that sees him elsewhere.
Then went a step further stating Ozil and his people are likely confident he will out last Unai.
Dearie me, let the healing begin.

Sal Which is what Ozil is deluded in believing. He is litterally the definition of the cherry on the cake. When at Real he definitively was excellent, all helped by a whole team of talented players surrounding him. When he came to us, the only player he really had a good understanding with was Sanchez. Pierre’s stat of the quickest player to reach 50 odd key passes was mostly thanks to Sanchez’s drive forward towards the box. The moment Sanchez realised that he was not surrounded by motivated players he gave up. In the mean time Ozil sussed out AW… Read more »

Don’t kill the messenger think most fully grasp Ozil’s plaudits. Honigstein is a pretty reliable pundit hence the post.

I know. With that hugely undeserved salary he is on now, no one will ever take a punt on him. Far too inconsistent for what he is worth. One has to wonder whether he is on his last contract before he retires. Which most probably is the case. He is milking us to the very end, isn’t he?
Graham62
Nice post very realistic view.
We are behaving now as a club that is leaning on its past glories and has no vision for the future so we will slowly and painfully move backwards.
I spend a lot of time in America and they really do not understand soccer as they call it, they never have competitive games against other countries, they never go to away games, they do not have relegation.
Our owners are not in it to win trophies so until we have owners who want to win , this is as good as it gets.
DB10
Its a dire situation when your highest paid player has a limited roll touching on bit player at stages this season. Nor does he fit Emery’s style which adds salt.
Doesn’t really create a great dynamic for everyone else in the dressing room.
Sal
Doesn’t really create a great dynamic for everyone else in the dressing room.
It most certainly doesn’t. No player can be looking up to him in terms of trying to get the best our of themselves. It practically borders on some probably thinking why they should bother when they see how little he contributes compared to what he earns.
As much as it seems mental, he should be completely sidelined and written off next season to avoid any disruption with the new players coming in.

Bayer Leverkusen is building a good team for next season. If they can keep Kai Havertz, they may be able to do something good in the league.
Graham62 The most depressing part is that so many hit out at Emery as if he were responsible for the dreadful mess that Arsenal are in. I doubt that any manager could have done any better. For some mysterious reason they cannot follow the straight line that links Arsenal’s demise to Stan’s arrival.

All this talk of ozil staying is frankly scary. The guy needs binning off any which way. I’m not beyond caring if it costs us a bit of money.
He’s toxic not only as a player and as a financial asset, but also for the dressing room considering how he disrespected emery publicly
Valentin
The only mistake made by Arsenal over moving to the Emirates was the decision taken by the club to redevelop themselves Highbury and some of the other property assets.
That decision resulted in the club hitting the property market recession. Anticipated profits were therefore smaller than anticipated.
Also Arsenal received virtually no financial support from Local Authority or
TFL with infrastructure projects.
After we signed virtually no one in January this year, the club gave the impression that it was keeping its transfer fund “powder keg” dry so we could go big in the summer.
Well the summer is here and we’re lethargic as ever.
If we were busy announcing departures that would be one thing but we are doing nothing. I thought we were busy since last October talking about possible transfer targets… well, where’s the proof?
Come on Arsenal you have to be better than this!!!
bare minimum
One lasting memory of last season was the picture of UE’s face and the abject incredulous look he had staring into the distance as if he was in a trance. That look and his body language said it all for me. He looked broken! The sudden realisation that he blew the CP & Brighton games and how important they were for a CL’s spot. He simply truly believed he was nailed on to win the EL cup all through the season; it was his get out of jail card and he felt invincible. Probably at the bottom of that moment… Read more »
ET I think you’re being too kind on Arsenal’s financial mismanagement. We never lacked profits, we were hoarding money.
We didn’t need to sell all our best players every season, it was just wenger thinking he could walk on water by generating massive income and replacing big names with cheap youth. It never was necessary
We hoarded an unreal amount of cash over that decade which was being added to every transfer window. Highbury property prices and the like we’re broadly irrelevant to our spending power – we were just grossly mismanaged financially
There are rumors that arsenal won’t announce new signings until something to do with the new adidas deal in early July
No idea if it’s true but I hope so. Would be lovely if we could announce 3 useful signings before the end of the first week of July…
The more time passes, the more I’m convinced we will have ozil at the club next season. How are we so skint? Supposed to be the top 10 richest club and we have the spending power of a ligue 2 team.
cool article:

Ozil should watch it to see how lucky he really is
That would make sense about the signings coming with our new kit launch. At the moment our transfer murmurs all seem to be guesswork.
I just hope we have enough time for the signings to integrate before the season starts.
Next season is shaping up to be really competitive, you have the other five heavyweights and there is also a group of about 5 teams beneath that who may make things more tricky.
Tony “I’m not baying for Emery’s blood yet” Yep, I’m with you on that. It’s as if the enormity of the task suddenly hit him. As I highlighted yesterday, the club is so badly managed from within that whoever took over was going to have to deal with an environment that was not conducive to progression. The negativity surrounding the club is all consuming. In my honest opinion the only way the club will move forward is if someone(not Emery) walks into the owners office and says – ” Look, the only way we can even consider competing at the… Read more »
Good posts today from you Graham.
The Ozil situation is one of the biggest indicators of the lacklustre management in the past few years at Arsenal, and one reason why past mistakes are still having an effect on the clubs ability to move forwards.
Kroenke and Gazidis deserves scorn for their signing off on the Ozil contract. Wenger is highly culpable for allowing the situation to develop to the point where Ozil and his agent had the club over a barrel in negotiations (same as Sanchez)
It ought to be a case study on how not to do business. Quite embarrassing really.
I like the passion in your speech Graham, although ‘I can deal with the football issues’ does feel a little bit of a leap. The importance of removing a few players- Mustafi, Mhiki, Ozil, Xhaka and replacing them with fantastic up-and- coming prospects who have the right mentality and attitude, would do an awful lot to change our mindset. The difficulty is finding the balance of achieving serious progress in say two or three years and managing the inevitable developmental set backs in the upcoming season.

Bob Yeah I think that ultimately no matter what anyone wishes for Emery has at least another season at the club (unless results go dramatically south) and in a way he is holding the fort while the changes at the club can take effect. The trouble is for me I see little evidence or drive from the club to make changes where it matters most, on the pitch. We cannot shift Ozil due to his wage and the player himself appears to refuse to budge. We do not seem to want to move on the likes of Mustafi and Xhaka.… Read more »

Most big company do not have a single shareholder. So any drive and ruthlessness percolating from the top come from the CEO.

China, When Özil publicly insulted Emery, they had the following options: – sack him and use that as an excuse for professional misconduct. Financially it is a move with few downside. No more wage, but potentially being sued. Maybe they consulted a lawyer who told them that their chance of success was low, but that’s not the rumour leaking from the club. – fine him the maximum legal possible.
