Big name about to be cut loose?

by .

via B-Engaged

It is GAME DAY and the big man Freddie Ljungberg is having a suit tailored for his first home game. Maybe not tailored. Probably pulled off the rack. Hope it’s a nice one.

Big story here: The elite journalists with good questions won out, I cannot thank them enough for their important intervention, and vital contribution to the world of football. One day, maybe, I’ll be as good at questions as them.

Before we land on the game tonight, it appears that by group consensus, the Arsenal family do NOT want to see Marcelino in the dugout. A real get in the bin appointment. Journeyman manager with about as much sauce as Unai Emery. No thanks. We’re not doing Heinz this time, we’re going elevated. Scoville levels off the chart.

There’s a lot of movement in Europe at the minute, a lot of managers that could be bucketed under the category of WINNER are close to the chop.

The one name that’s going to have a lot of fans desperately vommitting their opinion on people is none other than the man in black… Diego Simeone. There are very strong rumours the Argentine is about to get the chop at Atleti, a club where he’s done incredible things on a relatively modest budget over the past however many years.

I love Diego. If you could bottle his special sauce and sell it on the black market, no one would be talking about fentanyl. The guy is literally on a different planet when it comes to energy, touchline passion, and general all-round madness. He’s scary. Football’s real gangster. Pristine swept-back hair, elite enough to wear a black suit and a black shirt. Still as trim as one of his players.

The big challenge with him is two-fold. You are firstly hiring someone that speaks next to no English. Not that he couldn’t learn, but coming into a mess like Arsenal at this stage of our development, with a manager that can’t communicate the awful things he’d have to say about the players probably isn’t smart. My general rule of thumb is if you are going to be a bitch, do it in the native tongue.

Beyond that, you’d have to be able to get by on the cynical football. Not an impossibility by any stretch. Fans, first and foremost, like winning. Secondly, they like to see players die for the shirt. That’s what Diego brings you.

I know there’s a lot of Arsenal fans that just want a coach to come in and make us defensive beasts. Cut out all the fannying around. Get back to basics. Make the club George Graham when he was at its best. A great team, built from solid foundations. Emery tried, and failed. They feel that we need a real shock to the system. Someone who can come in and take a Stalin like approach to purging mediocrity from the club.

It’s a tempting thought, it really is. Diego is fucking unreal, even if I hate the football.

The other challenge for Arsenal is the expense. France Football had him pocketing €41m last year. He’s the highest-paid manager in the world. €788,461 a week. A quite incredible pay packet, but worth it for what he does over there. I think he’s likely out of our league. Not to mention he’s been very keen to move to Italy.

Carlo is also being touted. I have to say, I couldn’t be any less excited about the thought. He made a Sarri team worse, was outsmarted by Emery in the Europa League last year and generally would feel like a very flaccid attempt at progression.

Frontrunners from the shortlist I’m guessing at so far have to be Mikael Arteta and Brendan Rodgers. Most of the other names either seem out of our league, unsuited to the job at hand, or just far too expensive for what we can afford.

Onto the game tonight.

I was PLEASED to see Arsenal.com sharing videos of Freddie implementing some rapid fire one-touch football in training. No messing around. Combinations are coming back. Freddie is trying to impose his vision of football on a team that’s been in the football equivalent of a forced labour camp for 18 months.

Tonight is interesting because the action in the second half against Norwich was shite. He’s seen what the senior players can do, does he double down and go with the same players again, or does he start to introduce more of his thinking with players more to his liking?

For me, I struggle to see how a man with Freddie’s tasted for high-intensity pressing can opt with a frontline of players that don’t like to press. I said it on the podcast, could Martinelli be Freddie’s Nik Anelka? No one presses like him at Arsenal. If you had Auba flanked by him and Saka, you’d be a different beast.

Hector Bellerin will no doubt be back in contention. Huge questions mark over Tierney if he’s left out again. I’m assuming he was a precaution at the weekend because for me, he’s the future of that position. He’s a more capable defender than Kola and he looks where his deliveries are going from wide positions. It’ll be telling if he doesn’t start.

Let’s see what he does with midfield. The biggest problem we’ve had for a while is that we have to play Xhaka. I’d love to see LT given a chance in his real position, my concern with him is that he’s finished with Arsenal, and it shows in his performances. Either way, if Freddie doesn’t find a solve here, his tenure is going nowhere.

Brighton are a good side with a very interesting manager. Potter was a huge risk for them after Hughton, but you can see where their game is going, and it certainly looks like he’s making progress.

Right, that is me done, give Freddie the reception he deserves tonight, should be a fun atmosphere for once!

I’m hearing that Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate) is a serious consideration – anyone have any views on him at all?

One day, maybe, I’ll be as good at questions as them. Oh yeah I forgot to comment on that the other day. Thing is though literally anybody can set up a blog so the idea of that being enough to be treated the same as actual press is a bit weird. They’d be inviting anyone to press conferences if that’s the case. I dunno why it would bother you this is a hobby for you you got a real job. In saying all that they ask some stupid questions at press conferences sometimes. Just generic nothing questions where they make… Read more »

For today, I’d go with

Bellerin — Holding — Luiz — Tierney

Guendozi ——- Torriera
Willock
Reiss —- Aubameyang —- Martinelli.

The middle three will stay in the middle why Martinelli and Reiss would help the fullbacks in defending. That way, the middle would be solid.

Spanishdave

If Freddie wins tonight the directors will keep him going to see what happens.
Because it’s cheaper that way for the club.
The cheapskates will mess about as long as possible it’s the Arsenal way now.

Marko

I’m hearing that Marcelo Gallardo (River Plate) is a serious consideration

I personally would be very okay with that. Doing a great job at River Plate and already being linked with Barcelona. The language is an issue but if we’re willing to overlook it for Diego why not Gallardo.

Pedro

We’re more likely to get Eddie Howe than Simeone, or even stick with Freddie until summer.

Why on earth would he leave a club with limited resources to join another club with limited resources playing in a more competitive league?

Guns of Hackney

I love that we cited language as one of the main barriers for Emery but are now being linked with managers that speak even less English than the sauceless one. Jokers.

We need a fucking cockney. Like Jamie Oliver or Guy Ritchie. Not another foreign devil.

Honestly…we are a banter machine.

Marko

Who has limited resources? Atletico? They’ve been burning 100’s of millions on players for years now. They have a 120 million euros transfer ffs.

We’ve got to go with Martinelli and Pepe tonight with Torreira at DM.
I’d start Lacazette personally with a view to flogging Aubameyang in jan for as much as we can get

Alexanderhenry

Marko

I admit I’m not as knowledgable about athletico’s finances as you are.

I was always under the impression that athletico punched above its weight.
Pedro referred to their ‘relatively modest budget’.

Anyway, if what you say is true, it makes it less likely simeone would consider us.

Diego Simeone made €41 million last year ???🙄🙄🙄

Martinelli – Auba – Pepe/Saka

Luiz – Torriera

Wasi, when was Kike Marin last right with any of his claims? I don’t remember him nailing it with Emery’s consideration and appointment.

Wasi

InsideRight
Dont know. But isnt he a reliable journo.

Dont get who so many Arsenal fans want Auba gone. He is literally carrying the team right now.
The notion that he hasnt got enough football left in him is insane. He’s got elite fitness levels. Do you guys even remember when Auba wad last injured ?
I dont . I don’t even remember him picking up even a single knock since joining us. I think he can easily play three more season after this one before his pace or game gets affected.

Marko

Alex it’s not about knowing shit just a simple Google of their transfer history shows them to be a serious club not afraid to make major signings. They have a 120 million player. They’re literally one of what 2 or 3 clubs to break the 100 million barrier. I wouldn’t compare it to our limited-ness. He’s not going to take the job anyway he’s too good too expensive and he hasn’t even left Atletico and when he does he’ll likely take some time off. We need a new manager pronto imo. I don’t trust Freddie beyond 2-3 max and we… Read more »

Welcome to Arsenal Football Club

These are the rules of Arsenal Football Club:

1) You do not pick Xhaka and Mustafi.

2) You do not pick Xhaka and Mustafi.

I’m looking at the league table, it shows Arsenal with a GD of -1

Emery has to be a tiny footnote with a font size of 2 when the last decade of Arsenal’s story is told

Kike is right as far as Ousmane Dembele and Umtiti are now playing for Arsenal.

Marc
You still think 6 million is the standard salary for a world class manager in 2019?

Wasi

Dont think Simeone’s football is suited to Arsenal Football Club even though he brings so much drip with this attire alone its illegal. The moment we stop getting results the fans will turn on him. He might be the best defensive coach around but do we really need someone whose attacking football is lets be honest drab. Crosses into the box for the two strikers to get their heads on. I dont know .
Also he’s had a lot of talented players coming through the academy + the market. So he’s always had Players who are game changers.

DigitalBob

Atletico spend on transfers but usually not more than they generate via player sales. A bigger share of the tv money and constant champions league progression has also probably helped financially. Gunz – so you want Dennis wise in charge? Might as well ask arry rednapp if he fancies a go. The whole language thing is ridiculous if the manager is clear and concise with his message. There are also spanish players and spanish speaking players in the squad that can translate and we can also employ a translator. On this basis Bielsa wouldn’t be a good option for us,… Read more »

That Arsenal midfield is screaming for a midfielder that can dribble and run with the ball.

Marc

I never said we’d get away with paying a new manager £6 million, the Poch was only a reported £8.5 million and that was a new deal signed in 2018 – previously he was on £5.5 million.

My point was as a business with a turnover of over £400 million we can afford to attract talent.

I will admit I had no idea Simeone was on so much – that’s just bonkers.

Danny Dyer? Although, I think that ee’s an ‘ammer!
Michael Caine?

Marko

Atletico spend on transfers but usually not more than they generate via player sales.

Last summer aside 4 of the previous 5 seasons they had a positive net spend it would have been 5 but they broke pretty much even that season they bought and sold Jackson Martínez. They’re honestly not a limited team

Un na naai

Yeah I’m not sure Simeone is the man for arsenal myself. Marko is right. He’s spent some serious dough and had some real top top quality players and hasn’t done that well over the past 3-4 years. Barcelona aren’t what they were without Puyol, Iniesta and Xavi. I’d have expected him to capitalise a bit more on the fact that they and Real Madrid aren’t as rampant as previous iterations.

Uwot?

Has to be Rogers .its his dream job.we need a Rogering.Brendan Rogers.

InsideRight

If people are talking about moving Auba on it can only be so we don’t lose him for nothing. Martinelli could mould into a perfect replacement for him. But I don’t think he’s there yet.

Sid

Torreira is not a problem, much better than flamini, like someone said above we need a midfielder that play in tight spaces and set the tempo(1 such midfielder is the bare minimum ideally should be 2)

Valentin

Somebody mentioned that Simeone is on a huge deal because he is entitled to a cut of the profit made on players sold.
No idea if is true, but that would explain why would be on such a huge deal at Atletico.
Otherwise €41 millions is bonkers. As a salary it is more than what Messi earns following his latest contract.

Wasi

Reports coming out Haaland has a release clause of 17mil.

Wasi

Valentin
Probably. Because i remember reading on Onefootball and the manager with the highest salary was Pep at 21mil. Simeone ranked somewhere aeound 3,4 or 5 i think.

Tenerife Gooner,

Language is top priority for me.I in Germany,my German on par with Emery’s English.Recently I had a problem ,being short of 5 Euro at the super Market cash out.Stupid Girl.I went back to sort it out.Poor Girl totally bemused.Forget,5 Euro,down to experience.2 minutes later outside,it was OK.my mistake.Just saying.

Wasi

All the reports i read today says Marcelino IS on Arsenal’s shortlist. So where is Pedro getting his info from?

Marko

Somebody mentioned that Simeone is on a huge deal because he is entitled to a cut of the profit made on players sold.

Absolute bollox. And frankly a very Valentin thing to say. Yeah simply not true. If anything his wage would be so high because he’s there since 2011 and probably on his 4th or 5th contract and salary bump.

Marko

Pedro can you please put to bed this Luiz 40 million stuff going around. Where’s the sense?

Ishola70

No clue then regarding new coach.

Simeone will leave Atletico Madrid when he feels it is the right time.

Highly unlikely that Atletico Madrid push him out.

If the reports are true which is questionable in itself it’s because Simeone feels he has had enough time there.

No chance of him becoming Arsenal coach.

That can’t be true. £17m release clause

That Luiz cost 40 million

Distant legrover

All these language talks, like the premier league hasn’t been hiring foreign but limited in English language managers for a quite some time.

Good ebening Emery really messed it up for foreign coaches it seems.

Marko

Haland would be amazing. I’d do unquestionable things to replace Lacazette with him. Not going to happen though reports out of the blue that he’s got a ridiculously cheap “release” clause? Next thing you know he’s getting signed by Leipzig and that doesn’t look dodge

Un na naai

£21m is still extortionate. Koscielney was better and we had him at the club already

Marko

Marko, that’s the inside track from people at the club. Fee, contract, agents fees, signing on bonus. Really. And you didn’t think to question it further? 8 million transfer fee 6.5 million a year contract for two years so even if he stays the whole two years (which he might not) that’s 21 million. So we’re led to believe that 19 million was spent on a signing on fee and agent fees? Doesn’t sound very likely.

Great photo of Freddie getting measured up.
Cant wait for the game and to see us demolish Brighton.
The optimisit in me is giddy right now…
I cannot even fathom the feeling walking out to the fans cheering you and singing your name… unreal. Who would ever have though…im sure Freddie might have never imagined this as well.

pedro-1st, thanks for the great blog. 2nd, you can’t go around lumping player’s contracts in with their signing fee as cost of the player unless you are always going to do it….

Loving the Scoville sauce reference, give me some Pain & Suffering hot sauce over bland ketchup any day.

Simeone is out of our league, I would hold out for Arteta even if that means Freddie is in post to the end of the season.

Tonight we just have to be better than our last 2 games, here’s hoping Freddie rocks Armani rather than Primark this evening.

Marko

Very strange thing to throw up in my face considering you took something I said at face value which turned out to be wrong and ran with it without looking into it for yourself. As I said before I will admit it I got Nagelsmann not knowing English wrong but I didn’t willfully mislead anyone I based it off two separate press conferences he did when he played English clubs in the Champions League and he was asked questions in English and needed an interpreter and responded in German. So logically I thought huh he doesn’t seem to speak any… Read more »

the same logic that had as fact that Nagelsmann couldn’t speak English?

Also never said fact. I’m very careful not to throw that around here

Marko

you are borrowing from next year

???

Valentin

Marko, So you genuinely think that a manager would earn €41 millions as a basic salary at Atletico while the second highest manager salary would only earn €23 million at Barcelona while third place Pep Guardiola would content himself with £16 million at money bag ManCity. Most of the newspaper that reports the €41 million salary ultimately source the information from a French article in l’Equipe that states that Simeone has a fixed slightly higher (€24 million) salary than what Antoine Griezman was earning at the time there (that was €22 million). At the end of that article there is… Read more »

Pedro you do the exact same thing and I didn’t weaponize nothing I’ve said time and time again I’d take Nagelsmann as manager. It’s you who’s made the English language a total necessity in terms of the Arsenal job. Hence bringing up Nagelsmann and Rose and Fonseca and whether they could speak English. Even now I would take Gallardo. It’s baffling to me you’d even think to bring up me getting Nagelsmann being able to speak English wrong considering some of the things you write. You’re doing the exact same thing with claiming Luiz is costing 40 million. Look don’t… Read more »

Marko

That seems to me more credible that Simeone having a salary twice the salary of all other elite managers.

You have to factor in that he’s stayed in the same job getting wage increase after wage increase for going on 9 seasons now while Pep and the likes have changed jobs here and there. I can’t believe a club like Atletico and such a smooth operater like Berta and Cerezo would agree to give the manager a cut of players sold. I even heard something similar about Arsene years ago and I didn’t believe that then either.

Why does it bother you so much as to whether Luiz is costing 20/30 or 40 million.

Guns of SF, the line up will dictate my level of excitement. If I see Tiernay, Bellerin, Torreira and Martinelli in the line up, I’ll be much more confident of a good result and I’ll look forward to singing the Freddie song.

If on the other hand he selects a similar line up to the one he did for Norwich then my excitement will be tempered by low expectation and the sense that until we appoint a new coach , it’ll be more of the same.

Guns of SF,

I know that this ain’t logical or measured in any way, and I know his experience is limited at best. I know that being an Invincible doesn’t qualify a person for Managerial Sauce, and I know that looking good in Calvin Klein boxers doesn’t either (no matter what Gentelvris says), but I’d really love it if Freddie surprises us all and is discovered to have Sauce.

Freddie’s one training session has got me more exciting than all of the videos i saw during Emery’s tenure. The diagonal pass to the striker that he talks about is something our full backs never play which cant be defended as Freddie says. He has already identified the problems and im sure he’ll be trying to solve it. Also his little instructions to Martinelli were something we’d never see in Emery videos. We’d only get ‘Yes Good Laca goood.’ But no real instructions. I know they only show little bits but Ljunberg’s obviously got an attacking mindset. We are getting… Read more »

Distant legrover

Seriously the Luiz deal is shady as fuck. This guy left Chelsea before he was signed by a new team. Almost like he knew he was getting signed soon anyway.

Plus Lampard was willing to let him go in favour of young, inexperienced defenders. A guy who played with him and knows his game well. Red flag if I ve ever seen one.

Guns of SF

Wasi et all,

Ive read Freddies interview yesterday and he comes across as a humble person, with humility- and is seeking to remedy the problems we have asap. Not afraid to say he is consulting with other smart heads in the game as well.

Prefers to be on the pitch rather the interview room. However, he is well spoken and articulate. No more Emery bland blah blah

Lets hope he can get the team firing again and a streak of wins… God knows we all need that

Bob N16

Unnai, I would be very happy to see Pepe too, I just think that given Pepe didn’t even come on as a sub, it’s unlikely that Freddie would start him. I think Tiernay and probably Bellerin will start as it was fitness that prevented them being selected. Torreira and Martinelli both came on against Norwich so appear closer to Freddie’s starting 11. I just hope that Freddie puts balance above everything else. There is a strong argument for not picking both Lacazette and PEA and picking two of Saka, Martinelli and Pepe to flank the CF. As many of us… Read more »

Guns of SF

Maybe Pepe comes in as a sub today.
Does need minutes tho…. being wasted.
If he is not confident scoring right now, try him on the left… he is almost entirely left footed. at least get some crosses in or neat final third passing…

I dont know… thats Freddie problem

Marko

All seems a little petty if you ask me

I mean sure maybe. If you’re trying to paint someone as wrong and ruining the club like Raul then it makes sense to say someone is costing 40 million and not 21 million but if it’s not accurate then why say it. It’d be like someone saying that Ozil is on 500,000 a week whenever he puts in an abject performance instead of 350,000 it’s not fair is it.

Marko

Look not a big deal but in this day and age there’s nothing wrong with questioning things and not just taking it for fact. Lot of bullshit in the world. Just look at politics. Which reminds me recently I thought you know it’s very possible in the not too distant future that Britain would have Boris as PM and Prince Andrew as King. That’s really yikes

Wasi

Saka after his initial burst has cooled down a little. Needs some more strength and experience. Gets shrugged off the ball too easily. Has a great cross in him but needs to be more efficient with his dribbling and decision making. Martinelli on the other hand is going from strength to strength. His little cameos in the PL have been very effective. We really do have an elite talent on our hands. Hope he can nail down a starting position before the season ends and becomes a full fledged starter by the start of next season. Would love that. And… Read more »

It begs the question why the hell did we give him 350,000 if he will never perform to that figure. I know you didn’t do it but it shows how daft the club were in giving him that in the first place ( old conversation I know but still).

The media pressured us into trying to sign him and Alexis, and we bulged. Thank Alexis he went to Man Yoo instead and became their headache. We could have been paying at least 700,000 weekly to 2 over the hill players.
