THE WENGER THREAD

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

By the time that happens, at the end of the season, he will have bigger problems, as he'll be in the process of getting fired from his new club.

Cech 10m, Debuchy 8m, Kosicleny 10m, Mustafi 35m, Monreal 8m, Sanchez 35m, Ramsey 5m, Walcott 12m, Ozil 42m, Xhaka 35m, Welveck 16m, Chambers 16m, Perez 16m, Chamberlain 10m, Cazorla 17m, Giroud 12m, Elneny 5m, Gabriel 15m, Mertesacker 8m.

Any player who cost the club over 5m and is still on the books = 325m.

Begovic 8m, Courtious 6m, Ivanovic 8m, Cahill 8m, Luiz 30m, Zouma 15m, Azperliceuta 7m, Kante 30m, Fabregas 35m, Costa 30m, Hazard 32m, Willian 30m, Matic 25m, Pedro 20m, Batshuayi 33m, Moses 8m, Cuadrado 26m.

Any player on the books who cost Chelsea over 5m = 352m.

I had to double check to make sure my Microsoft excel wasnt broken. So thats the difference in costs between out two squads - 27m pounds. Tell me if I am missing any Chelsea player, tell me if I am underselling the cost of their sqaud.

And yet, 'unlike Chelsea, Wenger is working on a budget'. Honest go do, why does no *word censored* in the media point this out? It really is a shocking failure in journalism to keep reporting on Wenger's 'budget'.

We cant fuk this french fool of soon enough. He really needs to be fuked off. I always thought our expenditure to Chelsea, United and City was much closer than people believe, however I never expected it to be so close.

If Wenger didnt have the 'works on a budget' narrative, he would be talked about in the same breadth as Steve McClaren.

The speculation (and that is all it is) about Sanchez and Ozil's "demands" needs a bit of perspective here.

1. We have no idea how much they have "demanded" from Arsenal. That is all media speculation.
2. We have no idea what the club have decided or what they have said to both players. That is all media speculation.

So let's all try and keep our knickers unbunched until something official is announced... :roll: :lol:

The 67-year-old duffer has confirmed, from his power base in Islington, that he has no plans to step down in the next three years at least despite clear evidence of relentless decline under his leadership

Those are the general figures. They are not exact to a point. However the deals are always leaked to the press - the fees of transfers is one of the things the press normally get right.

I keep hearing fans say that it's a disgrace if Sanchez is allowed to leave, but id argue that an increased wage is low down on Sanchez's priority list. The club could offer him a crazy amount of money, but does anyone expect Sanchez to sign up for top 4 finishes, embarrassment's in Europe, and being surrounded by average players. The guy is a winner, and will leave because he knows we are miles away from challenging for actual success.

BBC Website:

"Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin, 21, will reject a move to Barcelona in favour of joining Manchester City. (Don Balon, via Daily Star)"

So we are still a selling club despite the millions in the bank earning interest for wiggy & the cluelessCUNT

Well either way it's the board and manager to blame - we have the money so no excuse there and if it's because he wants to win things then it is also their fault because we haven't shown enough intent to win them. Either way I'm done with Arsene FC or Arsenal PLC (Kroenke).

After that Oscars mix-up, I'm praying that we'll all find out later today that it was meant to be Wenger who was sacked not Ranieri.
