Arsenal stutter as rivals make BIG moves

by .

Arsenal fans going through the meat grinder today.

Spurs are about the drop £70m on Ndombele, one of the best young midfielders in the world. United have landed Waan Bissaka for £50m. TEARS ALL OVER THE STATION FLOOR.

Meanwhile, David Ornstein has Arsenal out here contemplating selling Auba to find Wilfried Zaha (Palace trying to remove his sell on clause whilst negotiating with United), whilst also chasing Saliba and Tierney.

I’m not that fussed about losing Auba, he’s a very well paid 29-year old I’m not sure we have the luxury of having at this stage of our decline, certainly not if we’re going to have to up his salary. However, those goals are going to need to come from somewhere and it’s a huge ask to expect Zaha to double his output this season. Or are we thinking about giving Eddie a more senior role?

Unless the manager thinks the whole system lacked a good wide player, which will make the entire team score more goals. I mean, he could think that catching X on the overlap just needs better parts… in that case, I really am worried.

It’s frustrating to read around some of the Arsenal accounts trying to find reasons as to our decline when it’s been staring them in the face for years.

No club in the world has consistently made more bad decisions than Arsenal over the past 5 years.

We were way ahead of Spurs and Liverpool 5 years and we’ve blown our lead by giving £350m to a busted manager who spent it in a half-arsed way, we’ve given contracts to players that didn’t deserve them, we hoarded players and lost them for nothing, failed to give actual talent deals quick enough, refused to move our wage bill to one that was more meritocratic, gave Wenger a new deal despite him being on life support, sacked him and spent £17m to undo the mistake, then doubled down on our mistake by hiring in a head coach that has managed to make the whole scenario worse.

It’s even starting to look like we’ve blown a whole summer waiting for Edu to arrive at the club.

We don’t stop doing making the wrong moves.

Still, the one thing you can take from all of this… success isn’t permanent. Things can south pretty quickly in world football. They can also move north pretty quickly.

If Edu comes in and he’s made of the sort of stuff I have heard he is, then we might be capable of making a climb back to the top.

We need a vision, a footballing philosophy and someone that is going to hold people accountable for delivering. There needs to be a proper plan in place. Football shouldn’t be that complicated. It always has and always will start with hiring in great people. Your structure means fuck all if there are talent holes in it. Currently, we look like the aftermath of a drive-by shooting.

This season is already setting up in mediocre fashion. Europe is waiting to see what happens with our dross, so they’ll likely be with us at the start of the season. We are struggling to push deals for our targets over the line. There seems to be no hope of moving on Ozil. It’s also looking unlikely that we’ll be adding any sort of volume to the setup. 3-4 players max, with the rest being made up with internal promotions and return loanees.

… but there’s still time to make things happen. So don’t lose faith yet. But do realise this, we are in another transition year, because Edu is going to come in with new ideas and we’re most likely going to see what peak-Emery looks like… it won’t be pretty.

Let’s just hope the next manager has some really talented kids to work with. Let’s hope some of the youth step up when given a chance this season. Let’s hope Freddie can offer up a little bit of something special. Let’s hope season two of Matteo and LT is the next level.

The most important signing will be Edu. If we’ve blown that move, we are heading into longterm irrelevance as meteor-like speed. He really has to bring the goods and he has to be utterly ruthless in implementing his ideas.

Right, that’s me done, see you in the comments x

Cesc- Yep .. I know.. we have needs all over the park… But if the middle of your formation is a giant donut hole.. then I just can’t see it working.. That’s why I keep going on about getting rid of some of these midfield players.. and I haven’t heard about any movement. Not even Elneny . All you have to do is imagine what an Isco and a Kroos would look like in the middle of our formation instead of Ozil and Xhaka and you get a better idea. (Just an example people.. I don’t think that’s happening.) If… Read more »

“You know the problems, how about some solutions? Imaginative ones, not the same old, same old.” Well firstly don’t over complicate things – i.e. when in a hole stop digging. Nostalgia has no place when selecting a manager and how many times have we seen clubs bring in managers because “he was a great player for us”, “he knows the fabric of the club”. It’s all bollocks, you select a manager based of his managerial ability / track record. The number of times a manager has gone from zero to wow in one step is minuscule. I’m afraid you’re going… Read more »

Mr Serge

How about sell none of our strikers who are both really good.
Buy a winger
A proper mobile midfielder
2 centre backs
A left back
Then add a few of our kids and we are good to go
Hopefully people start coming in early July
I would have sold all the dross by now though for sure

Marc. “What happens when you sell auba and laca gets injured”. Are you kidding dude . Obviously everyone would love to have 2 world class strikers but not everyone or anyone can afford that.

Elmo I know, when you look round the teams we’re competing with they all have more than one goal option with the exception of Chelsea who have all sorts of issues. The rational of selling a top player to strengthen the team does work – what’s being missed on this occasion is the money we’re talking about for Auba – £75 million ish – if it was £150 million it’d be another story – but £75 won’t even get Zaha (who I’m not keen on anyway) with what they’re selling the LB for.

I dont beleive chelsea’s midfield outscored our midfield last season in the PL . Honestly i can only remember jorginho’s goal last season from the chelsea camp.Some numbers would be nice .And dont count the EL stats in it.As Emery rotated a lot whil Sarri didnt rotate as much.

Marc

Wasi Oh dear. ManU – Sanchez (OK it’s gone pear shaped with him but he’s capable of getting goals), Rashford, Lukaku. City – not even going to bother listing all of their players. Liverpool – Salah, Firmino, Mane and Sturridge (OK he’s sick note but he can score as well) Spud’s – Kane and Son. You mentioned Madrid – well selling Ronaldo hasn’t helped but let’s see who they line up with next season, plus Bale etc. Barca – Er some bloke called Messi.

Marc I don’t care if he just got out of a coma. Suggesting Merson as manager is dumb as hell on so many levels

Marc

Marko

Everyone keeps mentioning the rumours ramping up – all I’m seeing is regurgitated quotes and click bait.

I think Torreira made an off hand honest comment in an interview and the press is pushing it because Arsenal fans are setting their heads on fire over it.

Milan do not have the money to buy him. If someone starts being linked for £70 million then I’ll pay attention – till then what ever.

Marc

Marko

The coma couldn’t have happened – he would have been declared brain dead.

Marko

As far as I’m concerned the Torreira stuff should be put to bed. They can’t afford him and it doesn’t look like he’s interested in a move. Case closed. Move onto Xhaka please

Marc

Marko

We could lock Xhaka in a room with englandsbest for a couple of hours – if he doesn’t top himself (we should get some sort of insurance pay-out) he’ll soon ask for a transfer.

Whereas when Emery plays his favourite 4-3-3 he has to bench one of auba and laca which is not the case for 1. Liverpool -when firmino plays ,salah and mane also plays 2.

HL What so few people on here realise is that deals are done and not announced for legal or financial reasons. Edu is under contract to the Brazilian FA in the middle of a very big competition. Obviously they don’t want him announced as out TD until his duties are done . Martinelli is signed but not announced yet. The deal for Sokratis was done several weeks before it was announced. Kolasinac was tied up weeks before it was announced . Usually this is for financial reasons but in publicly quoted companies it can be sensitive information which needs to… Read more »

Life is never exactly black or white. I agree with Pedro partially. Last year the club put paper over the cracks and gambled to get back into Champions League. We failed. Now we have wasted one year of rebuild. The team has no identity. We didn’t know where the team is heading I hope the club should plan for the future and establish a plan of rebuild and then sign players accordingly.

Marc

Wasi

I’ve said repeatedly we need some width but selling Auba is crazy.

All of those “wide forwards” can provide goals as back up and some of them score good numbers. Even with Zaha we’d struggle if we lost Laca.

Zaha is nowhere near elite yet – Sterling is at that level you think Zaha is as good?

Panic is starting to set in on Le Grove through lack of signings or players !saving the club . All seems rather similar to the last 12 years doesn’t it… An analogy of Arsenal’s situation in the transfer market would be, 2 people are in a supermarket , one has unlimited funds so can buy whatever they like and one has to be a little more select and careful due to limited funds. The one with unlimited funds can zoom around the shop picking up anything they fancy without checking the price , choosing the best and most expensive products… Read more »

And of the few the one sale that makes some sens is… Read more »

I would generally agree with your point – there is one small problem with it -Xhaka and Mustafi for a combined £70 million.

What difference would it make to this summer if we could unload them for cost?

TR7

I will judge the ‘new modern set up’ on whether they manage to offload Iwobi, Xhaka and Mustafi – the 3 biggest liabilities in our team. Things don’t look promising though.

Pierre

The 2 marc/ks win the dumb and dumber award

Marc

Wasi

Firstly Zaha will be approaching 27 by the time the season kicks off – potential is for younger players. Secondly we’re not going to get that much for Auba, 22 goals gone for £70 million.

We have other players we can sell and avoid over priced English mediocrity at all costs.

Marc

I cracked a joke (wasn’t meant to be hysterical) – you attempted an insult.

You really need to get over this fetish for Ozil.

However shite you might think Arsenal are, they are not England cricket, and so we are back to Le Grove after a Footy World Cup levels of hype and expectation goes up in smoke … at least we are used to it by now

Cesc Appeal

MidWest The midfield has been a problem for years. The issue is the personnel we’ve got just have no semblance of balance. Xhaka and Ozil are such lopsided players with glaring issues which means if they play you cannot have any balance even if the other midfielder is Superman. I’m in favour of going about this the Liverpool way, just a 3 man midfield with tenacious, physical, mobile players even if it seems a little less than inspiring in terms of technical ability. I do think this season (or at least pre-season) we will see Bielik given a go at… Read more »

TR7 I agree , those 3 should be top of the list to leave but I have a feeling that Emery rates xhaka and iwobi highly so I can’t see them leaving…mustafi I think has fallen out of favour with the manager and will probably move on. I can see Mhkitaryan moving on , Ozil is unsellable so will stay and it wouldn’t surprise me to see Chambers on his way .

We ducked up the move big time. We have literally no benefits of the big oval concrete rather tired looking stadium.

You’re a senile old cunt – I would think with your remaining, very limited time you’d have something better to do. You must have at least one Ozil picture that isn’t cum stained yet.

R.S.P.C.Arsenal

The dammned point her is we are still debating the same issues we were 10 year ago.

The club needs a major injection of something not just money…

Marc The window when we signed Xhaka,Mustafi and Perez was very poor value for money . City, Chelsea and United over the years have all made very poor signings but due to their unlimited funds it hasn’t hurt their respective clubs as much as when clubs like Arsenal ,Tottenham and Liverpool make mistakes. Looking back, Tottenham wasted the bale money and Liverpool wasted the Suarez money so it is much more dIfficult for clubs like Arsenal , Tottenham and Liverpool compete with the top spenders …..they can’t afford mistakes , they get one chance to get it right whereas city,… Read more »

Pierre Its pretty clear Emery rates iwobi and xhaka. Especially Xhaka.When Emery was appointed the club gave Xhaka a new deal when nearly the whole fan base was hating on Xhaka and he had 3 or 4 years still to go on his contract.That was a move by Emery. And next year he is gonna appoint Xhaka as captain. To be fair to Xhaka he has upped his game since he moved to Arsenal and if he can cut out the costly mistakes he’d make for a decent midfielder. But definitely not good enough to be our captain he is… Read more »

Palace need a right back with wassup moving to manure. Offer them chambers or jenkinson and 55 million. Zaha doesn’t need to be the second coming of Bobby Pires he just needs to be better than what we have, which he is. Miki and Iwobi got 9 league goals between them last season. Zaha will top that on his own. He will also create more for laca and Auba. Torriera isn’t going anywhere especially to ac who don’t have a pot to piss in. I’m more worried about getting the defence sorted. Tierney needs tying up and then onto a… Read more »

55 million? Listen they just sold their RB for 50 million no way way they sell their best player for more or less the same price. Not to mention we ain’t paying that much for anyone and most importantly they are far better players than Zaha out there for the same and for less money. Big no from me.

‘nostalgia has no place’

A lot of the links, Saliba,Vanheusden, Schubert, Tierney, Martinelli, Szoboszlai, Bilel Hassaini, Reinier etc make it seem like this a hard reset.

Mings has everything a central defender needs theses days , tough , physical , good on the ball and knows the English game, definitely worth the risk for around 20 million.

Marc,
Lol I’m on holiday already from south Africa,
Don’t worry booked my tickets for the tour next week before we go back.
