Well good morning to you, I wrote a post yesterday and it didn’t post, so you’re getting a double hit of the good stuff today. 💉
It’s Mikel press conference time, I’m still getting over the novelty of not spending 45 minutes trying to decipher the buried messaging of an Unai prezzer. I also like the fact that for the first time in 10 years, tuning into the pregame chat is actually interesting.
Let’s jump face-first into what hasn’t changed in forever… an Arsenal manager on transfers.
‘I’m happy we have the squad that I believe we can compete for what we want. I’m fine. I want to keep the players and get the maximum from the players that I want, but if this scenario changes and we need somebody, I’m expecting that we will go into the market and try to solve the issue.’
On whether he has a wishlist just in case.
‘I have, yes. You need to have one always, just in case!’
So the reality of our situation hasn’t changed, we blew our load last summer, and unless a very cheap deal or loan pops, we’ll be tasting the consequences of that until we can shift some of the deadwood in the summer… but at least Mikel has a list of players he likes, hopefully Ever Banega and Big Steve Nzonzi don’t feature. That’d be like finally landing a date with Sienna Miller and finding out she farts when she drinks, which to be honest is how I felt when he started Xhaka… I have grown to enjoy that fragrance though.
The most interesting theme that has run through the last week is that Arteta is very publicly calling Auba his most important player. I can’t deny that it’s true, but it seems to be a very purposeful narrative that he’s pushing.
‘Auba has been around, he was very sad after the game. He was disappointed that he left the team with 10 men. It’s an action that is completely accidental in my opinion. He’s been superb under me, he’s trained really well, he’s working so hard. He’s scoring goals and has probably been the most important player on the team. So to lose him, obviously, is really bad news for us.’
‘I don’t know. I haven’t experienced it. I hope not, I hope we can play better and even win the games and he will be pushing for that as well. Players have to step up. You know, when one of your big players is not there, they have to take responsibility. I’m sure when they’re not playing, they want a chance and they talk. It’s time to talk on the pitch, not outside. You come on there, you make the impact that he made and you sure me that you are as good as him or even better. You have the chance.’
Keeping your best sharpshooter motivated is obviously important, is the extra effort because he wants him to sign a new deal, or is it to keep him motivated despite playing him out of position? Or is Arteta just a really fucking massive fanboy of the man. He has a gold car, that is way cool imo.
My abiding memory of Sheffield United is from the Highbury days when we cheated and scored a goal and Steve Bruce threatened to take his players off the pitch like a giant pink snowflake, an incident that culminated in Arsenal offering a replay for the unfair result. I also remember the FA Cup semi-final when David Seaman made THAT save from Paul Peschisolido.
Things are different now. Chris Wilder, one of the sexy breed of new managers doing big things at small clubs, has made his team quite the spectacle this season. Mikel likes him.
‘The work he’s done is phenomenal and he’s done some special things as well with some movements and characteristics of how he moves his team around, and the demands that he puts on his players. What I like about a manager is when I see a team and they are a real team that fights for every single ball with their attitude and behaviour, as well as their intentions for what they want to do every time. It’s very clear what he’s trying to do, so I have big admiration for him.’
The reality of our season is that this game is very important to our progress. Sheffield United are running away from us, we lose here, it’s a 7 point gap. Staggering considering their outlay compared to ours.
Things are still not looking positive on the injury and suspension front. Kola, Tierney and Bellerin likely won’t feature. LT ‘might’ be back in contention, but he has a hip problem. Our best striker sits out the first of three games. The only thing going for us tomorrow is that this has been the first full week the squad has had with the new training staff. We’ll be a little bit fitter, the plan should be a little more clear, and hopefully we come out all guns blazing for an expectant home crowd. Miracles don’t happen overnight, but a nice run of results against sides we should be beating would build belief in the squad and make us fighting fit for the big games in the cup and against the top 6 sides when they land.
One interesting thing to watch out for is the captaincy. Who does that go to in the new era? The way the team has been playing, I’d expect someone like David Luiz. I feel like he’s bought into the vision and his performances have been immense.
Finally, Head of Medical Services, Gary O’Driscoll, has left the building to take up a new role at Liverpool. I had the pleasure of being toured around the Arsenal facilities by him a few years ago, it basically qualified me to have PHD after my work signature, and it’s part of the reason I’m so revered in the Sports Science community. The article is here, think that was back in the day when Wenger was blaming injuries on hair pills and bad luck. What a time to be alive.
What I think is important about this move is, whilst sad, it shows you how good our backroom team is. The amateur injury specialist scene on Twitter is quite something, generally always wrong about their assessments of what goes on at the club, always wrong when they point the finger out the medical team. This is a vindication of that reality. Anyway, if you fancy the job, you can apply here.
Right, find me in the comments where I’ll be giving a seminar on the latest WADA regulations, have a great Friday night x
If you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain.
Sticking with your team through the ‘hard’ times makes the successes even sweeter.
Europa League and FA Cup to play to win for. And also just the genuine intrigue in how the team develops under Arteta. It’s hard to imagine why anyone would want to switch off as such until next season.
You see it above with talk about how Kurzawa would’ve been pilloried if he was an Emery buy, then in the next sentence I’m getting told that I was all for Licht…….who bought him again? Oh that’s right……pick your angle
Struggling Charlie struggling.
Marko
Big whoop.
Real mature bud
Marko, you can’t rewrite your past views on language. Or even what you said 40 minutes ago.
‘ I never gave a shit about Nagelsmann or Rose or Fonseca or whoever being able to speak English properly’
The above was laced with a subplot that it was a bit xenophobic to talk about a managers language skills.
We all remember the language argument and your militant belief that communication was not that important because it was such an absurd thing to have to argue… over, and over, and over.

Lol Arteta wants to keep Mustardi as well…. he nose best.
“Jurgen Klopp took over Liverpool in 10th place. Through maverick decision-making, masterful motivating and tactical dexterity, he’s made them Europe’s best.” – Sky Sports Like Klopp, Arteta’s got all the tools to take Arsenal to the top. He speaks good English and is an excellent communicator. What’s more, he’s a brilliant and innovative coach. Like Pochettino, he’s able to motivate his players and get the best out of them. Even the much-maligned Ozil attests to this. Like City, we finally got our very own Pep sauce served with meaty chunks of Klopp and tasty slices of Pochettino. Sounds like a… Read more »
Highbury legend.
“ Moutarde”
The above was laced with a subplot that it was a bit xenophobic to talk about a managers language skills. Oh it absolutely was in nature. You might not have meant it personally but a few others jumped on it and ran with it. Again you took his poor communication and ran with it as an issue as well as his appearance. I personally don’t think communication was the problem the problem was I just don’t think he knew what he was doing his last whatever months. You see Bielsa and his interpreter and the way he schooled a room… Read more »
Anyway communication is no longer an issue Mikel talks with perfect English and is very very understandable he comes across as very knowledgeable and a Maverick full of confidence. Basically he’ll have absolutely fuck all excuses for failure. In that regard.
The very latest Kurzawa chat is we’ve lined a deal up for him to join in June for free, we’ve apparently done so to use all available funds to chase Bruno Guimaraes for this window.
“Basically he’ll have absolutely fuck all excuses for failure. In that regard.“
The loaded agenda eating away at him, bless.
Marko you’re such a basic thinker and it’s so painful to read the shit you come out with and then try and deny it later.
Coaching is fanciful and emery’s communication wasn’t an issue. My god.
Why you’re even comparing the two is beyond me. One uses a translator, the other well…his communication was perfect wasn’t it?
Maybe emery should have borrowed Bielsa’s translator.
Relax rose bud communication isn’t an issue for Mikel so if he fails it’s not in that regard. Is that alright to say? Would it not make sense to judge him by the same standards as the previous manager? That’s not fair? Suppose not. Now it’s agenda driven I suppose
Marko you’re one of the few on here tempting fate in as many ways as possible for a failure on Arteta’s part. Be it in transfers, decisions about your fave players, folk writing off the season after appreciating the mess walked into (the state of you over that one).
Whilst many are more than happy at the prospect of Arsenal elevating under Arteta despite never fancying him as boss, you’re fraught at the prospect of deepthroating massive amounts of crow after the two year assassination of him as a talent in the game.
I’m “more than happy at the prospect of Arsenal elevating under Arteta”
At last we now have a manager who speaks my sort of lingo.
No more Emery Goggledegook and no more predictable and boring Wenger rhetoric.
Life is good.
Sheffield United will make it difficult and will fancy their chances at the Emirates but I’m going to be positive and go for a 2-1 win.
Maybe 3-1.
Guimaraes is very exciting if it happens.
Exactly the kind of scouting you want to see from the club.
Get in there before he’s the next big thing we’re lamenting not taking a chance on.
South American base to our midfield as well.
Marko you’re one of the few on here tempting fate in as many ways as possible for a failure on Arteta’s part. Oh grow up you idiot I’m literally willing for him to bin off the shite we have and praying that we make signings to make his job and life easier. Only thing now is that the slightest bit of criticism these days have you Arteta groupies up in arms. Criticism might I add that wasn’t lacking the previous 18 months. It wasn’t even criticism it was more pointing out that if the previous manager failed miserably in the… Read more »
after the two year assassination of him as a talent in the game.
Unknown, risk and inexperienced. Absolute assassination apparently.
“Unknown, risk and inexperienced. Absolute assassination apparently.“
Haha shameless, absolutely shameless. Your memory has taken some hit today, how strange.
Personally, I’d save the comparisons to Emery until Arteta has had enough time to show what he’s about. And while he’s at it, I’d like to see him win a few trophies – the EL for starters. We reached the semis and then the finals, so it’s certainly within reason to think that we’re capable of winning it this year. I’d like to hear rumours linking him to other top clubs (a sure sign that he knows what he’s doing and could be the next big thing). At this point, all that he has is potential – the reason he… Read more »
” so it’s certainly within reason to think that we’re capable of winning it this year.”
Unfortunately, it will be more difficult this year. There are a few good teams dropping down from the CL, such as Inter, Ajax and Roma.
Wasnt it warnock in charge when we cheated against Sheffield United?
Charlie ‘We didn’t need a winger’ Technically Suarez was supposed to be a versatile player who could play across the midfield (apart from DM). He was a crap signing tho But Kurzawa makes zero sense unless we’re selling kola at a decent profit and get Kurzawa on a reasonable wage We have Tierney, kola and saka playing LB this season. Injuries and ability remain less than ideal but not many teams could field a third choice lb in Saka and do as well as he does. We’re not short in this position whatsoever. We need a LB like we need… Read more »
Also Charlie I wouldn’t trust that arsenal are so clued in on transfer economics We’ve paid 190 odd million for our front 3. Laca hasn’t justified his price if we’re honest and *so far* pepe hasn’t come anywhere near his valuation Go back a couple of years and we’ve spunked 70m up the wall on xhaka and mustafi Outside of a couple of good and promising deals like martinelli (still unproven over any length of time), arsenal have been absolutely dismal in use of our resources on balance. We have this ridiculous wage bill and a load of average players… Read more »
There’s clearly something seriously wrong with our scouting network when France has been an absolute factory of top quality for the last 5 years and yet the only young players we’ve managed to pick up are guen and Saliba (and Saliba wasn’t cheap).
Are we even watching league 1 and second division games? I know there’s more competition for these players now but our draw as a club should easily allow us to compete for the young French and African prospects so many smaller clubs are picking up first
Arsenal to win the EL, then PSG will offer Arteta a deal that he cant turn down
You heard it here 1st!
So Arsenal intend to solve our left back injury crisis by recruiting an injury prone left back ?
Or have I got it all wrong
Graham, “Why so glum? ” Without sounding like one of those ‘I called it’ types, I was one of many who were saying 6 or 7 years ago that, if we don’t take serious action now, we will fall into an ever deeper spiral. While we have lots of new faces around the club, We still haven’t taken drastic action. As a club we are still risk averse, lack a clear plan and only ever make reactive actions. I believe Arteta will be a successful coach and he’s a good appointment but expecting him to be more successful if/when he… Read more »
I’m intrigued to see how LeGrove and other sections of the fanbase react if, in 2 years, we’re still wading through the swamp.
When will it be time to call a spade a spade?
When will we turn our attention to a certain absentee owner?
Or the kurzwa rumours may just agent talk.
*‹›There is a big difference between me arguing that the owner of the club is lying to fans about available funds and you supporting the transfer window rather than the club.You’ve argued for nearly everything actual arsenal fans want. You argued for the continuation of our worst manager in 40 years Nuff said” supporting the transfer window rather than the club because I want us to catch up on years and years of squad neglect? Wanting Us to keep hold of underperforming players out of some weird sense of nostalgia is just weird. I gave him a chance last season… Read more »
Pedro
On Arteta’s quotes, it’s as if all arsenal managers are given a script that they’re contractually obliged to read from.
It’s called ‘self sustainability, a play in one act’.
Also, the snarky anti wengerisms seem a little ridiculous considering our current position.
Top four every year and a few FA cup wins?
Most arsenal fans would sell their grandmothers for that right now.
Un, its definitely all 3.
When people draw comparison to Liverpool and Klopps success they forget that the scouse fans demand success and the owners mirror their ambition.
Even when Liverpool were all over the place they were still fighting to change it, backing mangers and acting on underperformance.
Arsenal fans seem quite happy to mull along providing the seats are comfortable and the teas warm.
Unai
I don’t think arsenal fans are as passive as you think.
They lost patience with wenger in the end and the empty seats and protests did make a difference.
If arsenal continue to languish it won’t be long before fans start either protesting again or staying away.
I blame Stan for Arsenal’s decline and I think most arsenal have come round to thinking the same.
Even if Arteta does well, most fans realise it’ll be in spite of kroenke.
He is generally hated I think which is why he hasn’t attended a single game since his full take over.
Alexander, I would love to believe that but I genuinely feel some fans will accept whatever the club serves up, no matter how poor it is.
Even if the fans do protest it will only achieve a luke warm response (thanks for your interest in our affairs, have a Pepe and kerp quiet you noisy reprobates).
Unless concerted, long term pressure is applied to Stan & Co to demand a change in ethos or ownership I doubt much will change.
Unai ” would love to believe that but I genuinely feel some fans will accept whatever the club serves up, no matter how poor it is. ” I believe we have stopped the rot just in time. Look throughout history in the English League, there has always been ups and down with every club. Liverpool and United went over 25 years without winning the title , Arsenal on 2 separate occasions have gone 18 years , Chelsea 50 years , City over 50 years and Tottenham nearly 60 years. During Wenger’s last 5 years in charge it was perceived as… Read more »
Unai
Some will but many won’t.
Even Kroenke will be aware that if the club doesn’t reclaim its position as a champions league regular it will be worth less- a lot less.
Interest will fade, empty seats will become common place, less merchandise will be sold, sponsorship deals will be become less lucrative.
Also, he will be increasingly criticised. Arsenal are a big brand with global reach unlike his other franchises.
It will get messy.
China
According to France Football Kurzawa has agreed a five-year-deal with Arsenal which will see him arrive at the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer in the summer . Raul probably has a plan for this Summer TW.
‘Arsenal to win the EL, then PSG will offer Arteta a deal that he cant turn down’
You are such a genius.
PSG hired Emery after three Europas and he couldn’t even win the one horse league title upon arriving. You then assume they will offer a guy who wins only one Europa a whale deal?
Talk about high intelligence.
We cannot get out of this mess unless the owner chips in.
Chelsea and Man City would not be in their position today without investment from the owner.
You cannot do it messing around with wannabe players , crocks and average Joe youth players. Arteta is a good coach but even he will struggle to get into a genuine position to challenge for trophies.
The club is full of overpaid middle management and bullshit scouts
‘Also, I like how Kurzawa dresses. He also has a cool name.’
Why then don’t you like Mustafi too, Pedro? He too has a cooooooooool name.
“They were fools in their abuse aimed at Wenger , They were fools in their defending of Emery and they proving to be bigger fools in their criticism of Arteta.” Such abusive language from a supposed elder Pedro is a fool too then cos he was at the forefront of wanting Wenger out And where is the criticism of Arteta? Highlighting a potentially wrong signing in Kurzawa or whatever his name is isn’t a criticism of the manager per say, i guess that is the angle when many religiously defend a signing yet to be made. You seem to follow… Read more »

Talk about short memories is funny cos you appear to have the shortest of them all. Emery was given a two year deal, he was always a short gap option for this football club.

Pierre “””In have always said that the football manager is the most important person at a football club “”” And you are off course correct. The problem is we DONT have a manager. We have a Head Coach. We are now trying to be clever and modern and have 4 tiers of management. A head Coach A Teck Deck The Fat Spiv And assorted agents.

Financial fair play is being implemented 10/15 years too late for Arsenal , the horse has already bolted.

“It sounds like Kurzawa is Mustafi for PSG…”
Why would you bother or believe what a few fools from a PSG blog say.
It’s like people taking notice of comedians like Marko, RH, Fred and Azed ..
Nelson
Whether it’s a free or we’re paying a bag of chips and cola for him, it’s a bad deal because the player has the same deficiencies as the one we might be getting rid of…
Why not Meunier if we’re getting a full back from PSG? Contract due in the summer so same scenario as Kurzawa, much fitter, better defensively too.
Pierre
Have you actually watched Kurzawa? It’s not just some idiots mouthing off, it’s the fact that whatever reservations anyone has about the signing is 100% genuine. If folks at GFFN are laughing at you buying a player from that league, that should tell you something right?
Batistuta, It depends on what kind of style of player want. Meunier is a much better defender, but going forward he offers next to nothing. If Wan Bissaka was a Liverpool fullback, they would not be as potent as they are, yet he is the better defender. So if Arteta wants a fullback who is more stack minded, Kurzawa is the better option. If Arteta wants to concentrate on the defense then Meunier is the better choice. Anyway I don’t think that PSG will let Meunier go, because they know that they need the better defender in the Champion’s League.… Read more »

Good question
He just called fans of the club the player currently plays at fools for not rating him.
I don’t rate Kurzawa cos i have actually watched him a lot and he is very bad defensively and frankly not all that offensively to make me turn a blind eye to his defensive shortcomings
Pierre read on whoscored he is “good with the final ball( like Ozil)” and everyone becomes a fool for not rating Kurzawa
“You’re just feeling silly that plenty of people actually don’t give two fucks about any religion and Football is the religion we choose.”
Who are we?
The only silly person here is the one who has chosen to claim everyone else on the blog shares the same belief as he.

Edu
I know nothing about him ,but to take notice of fans on a blog is pointless .
The signings of Salah and De Bruyne were ridiculed at the time
RH
“I don’t rate Kurzawa ”
That’ll do for me , he must be decent
How old is kurzawa
How old were de bruyne and salah when they were bought by their respective clubs ?
I’d say if kurzawa is nearing 28 and hasn’t ripped it up yet , And he still has fans criticising him then that’s a worrying sign
Also a side note , guys , it says on a lot of different sites that his agent is Léandre Chouya , has he recently changed to Kia ?
Jesus spurs are really ordinary, they look like the relegation side not Watford.
With no kane they have no focal point.

Don’t mention Jesus RH will be on you for blasphemy.
Under Mourinho, Spurs look totally bereft of ideas just like United did.
“Edu I know nothing about him”
..Yet you have defended his signing because?
RH
‘ Pierre football is not North Korea where we only see the supreme leader as great and infallible.’
So I’ll ask you again.
Is religion like North Korea?
You normally run off when you tie yourself in knots and can’t respond or cry victim.
Lego hair I’m an atheist, so I’m probably burning in imaginary hell for blasphemy anyway!
I have defended the criticism of his signing..
Apparently we need believe a few know nothings on a blog to convince ourselves that he is rubbish.
“I have defended the criticism of his signing..”
What is your defense based on?
Surely it has to be more that “some posters i don’t like disagree with his signing so i will defend it”
Pierre
“The signings of Salah and De Bruyne were ridiculed at the time.”
Had they joined Arsenal they would have been ridiculed…
Pierre, Pierre,Pierre.
We are only buying this player because it suits Edu/Kia- not because it benefits Arsenal long term.
Surely you dont think the New Regime are buying him because he is what we require?
(We clearly dont.)
And why a 5 year contract.?
How about 2 year with an option for another ?( some incentive in there)
We have Sead,K and Tierney.
Why do we need another left back?
We will only be playing 38 league games next season, after all.
The Deal stinks.
If it wasn’t for the bible my wife would have a tough time explaining the 2 kids we’ve had since my sterilization…..
“And why a 5 year contract.?”
I actually choose to treat the five year contract bit as a rumor, surely we have learnt from offering players with asterisks besides their name long term contracts then struggle to shift them on afterwards.
De Bruyne and Salah would have been sold on as Arsenal rejects had they joined the club
5 years
100 grand a week
Injury prone
Cant defend
Bad attitude.
No final ball
Cant tackle
I cant wait..
With all the tech and in this day and age, it is astonishing that match day officials cannot even get added on time correct.
The Spuds game delayed by 3 and a half mins while Michael Oliver sorts out his dodgy ear piece, and yet only two minutes added on at the end of the first half.
Added on time appears to be plucked from thin air as a random number a lot of the time. It needs looking at.
If it smells like bullshit, it normally is bullshit.
Pierre
You really didn’t answer my question did you? Have you actually watched him play or your default is just to attack anyone who does?
Valentin
Your last paragraph sums up my points, PSG won’t let the better defender go in Meunier so we’re stuck with a defensively suspect player in a defence full of those, there’s that genius Arsenal transfer business at it again, don’t care if it’s a free by the way, we should and can do better
