Apparently FFP is a real thing after all? This just sounds like they're replacing their strikers. Paying Mandzukic, Costs, a third striker, and Torres isnt really going to lower the wage bill.

Shitshow posted:I still rate Giroud, but it's pretty obvious he's an ill fit for a one-striker system. Also, he's played an insane number of minutes this season and has to be totally knackered. Yeah he's getting a lot of abuse recently but he is so so isolated. If anything I would criticize the central midfielders the most. have no clue what they're doing. They're now tracking back and not linking up with the forwards they just exist to play cheeky short passes and lose possession.

irlZaphod posted:Arsenal were poo poo today, but they were decent against City. As long as they stay grounded and don't assume they can just walk to the final, they'll easily beat Wigan. It's Wenger's job to make sure that happens. It all depends on whether Arsenal show up for it. Recent history says they probably won't.

So this is from goal.com, but there are quotes, so:Santi Cazorla posted:I want titles and that is why I came to Arsenal,” he told Sport360. “Every football player wants to win titles. We’ve gone many years without winning one. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2014/04/09/4741008/cazorla-open-to-arsenal-exit-we-lack-a-winning-mentality I hope it's made up? Can't believe he said this during the season.

If the quotes are true it's an incredible indictment of Wenger that he could let morale get so low that a regular starter is talking about leaving and the team not having a winning mentality the week of an FA cup semi-final e: those updated quotes holy poo poo

not not luvd posted:Do you trust the board to replace him well? At least Wenger would like to win, I don't think they give a gently caress. I really have no clue. I imagine that the board will just be a rubber stamp on whoever Kroenke wants, and we have no indication of what he'll do. I just need something to change. Watching this team get embarrassed a handful of times every season is taking it's toll.

not not luvd posted:Don't troll. For me, the issue will be whether they're willing to invest in the team. I don't really have a problem with the club appointing a manager like Rodgers or Wenger who came from the "lower tier," as long as the manager has a plan and vision for the club. As it stands now, the team needs at least four first team players (striker, centerback, defensive midfielder, wide forward), and probably a right back and another centerback when Sagna and Vermalean leave. If the club backs the new manager, things could turn out nicely, but if we keep with Wenger's signing pace we'll just slip further down the table.

Shoren posted:Cazorla is hardly a luxury player. He may not run himself into the ground as much as Rosicky but he does work defensively, much more than Podolski that's for sure. He didn't go about it well, but he's entirely right. I don't think he's a luxury player per se (he wasn't last season), but he clearly doesn't work with Ozil, and has been absolutely dogshit for the last 3 months or so. Ideally I think the three behind the striker will be Ozil behind the striker and some combination of Wilshere/Walcott/New Left Winger on the wings. Cazorla may be handy to keep around for a backup for all three positions, but if the quotes are true he can gently caress right off imo. e: I doubt Kroenke steps in unless we miss out on fourth and he has to inject some funds to protect his investment. I'm not sure it will be necessary if we retain fourth, since by all accounts there's decent money to be spent. blue footed boobie fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Ravel posted:He was a good player that was banned for the next few months. He'd been banned for cumulatively 19 games in two seasons the first of which he'd spent being as unclinical as possible. I really don't think so. Rodgers was initially floating 55m after Cavani went to PSG, then when we bid 40 he started saying that it would take Bale money to get him. They (rightfully) were never going to actually sell him.

not not luvd posted:E2 - Re: Cazorla. I can see us selling to City at some point. If the quotes are true he could be leaving this summer. Generally I'd like to see Arteta leave. He's been astonishingly poo poo this year and has high wages. I also think its time to move Poldi out. I actually like him as a player, but he's such a defensive liability that we can't afford to give him anything but 20 minute cameos.

Arsene did a lot for the club, but it's gone on too long and it's all gotten a little sad for the last few years and that is going to tarnish his reputation obviously.
