We have just sacked a manager who has been in charge and dragging us down for years. If you still can't get any enthusiasm for the new season and a new start maybe it is time to walk away.GoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:01 pmI'm comfortable with UE being manager, sorry head coach, i'm less comfortable with the current transfer speculations, i just checked by the way we're still the 6th richest club in the world and we've just finished 37 points behind the league winners and 12 points behind 4th place with a team who hugely underperformed under the previous manager and have been living on easy street for a number of years.

Most of us wanted the old french c.unt gone and are therefore very happy where we are at the mo - this however doesnt mean that people cant post reservations about any signing the club makes. If some people dont think that signing a 34 year old is the way to go then thats ok, but it doesnt mean that they are against the new regime and are not still delighted that we are now starting a new dawn - this doesnt have to be a "one side or the other" debate so please stop being all dramatic (this obviously aint aimed at you DB10) and just chill

Yes, whatever happens this season it's going to be fresh and new and who knows what Dick will manage to do with our lot. I have long believed that just a plain straightforward dose of tactics and discipline would have a marked effect on our current team so if we improve in the obvious areas with players who haven't been 'wenkered' then things will improve. Aubameyang is going to be shit hot this season especially when we stop going sideways and start playing to his strengths.
Let's face it this is not necessarily going to fall into place overnight however we will know within a few months whether it is going in the right direction or not and if it becomes a case of not, then it comes down to either Dick ain't upto it or the team and the all important factor then is both options lead back to IG and SK - result! We can't lose! Dick is a success - great, 'up the arse' or it goes tits and we all get after the board to stump up real dosh or preferably fuck off. I believe it's what is known as a win - win situation

Torreira would be an incredible signing. Just what we need, quality DM with passing skills. Little pit bull.
Comes with that South American fire as well.

Get used to the idea Wenger is GONE - The system of how he used to choose who signed, who left, who did what, who passed sideways...who started each game no matter How UTTER SHYTE they were because they were his favourites in a team we had long stopped caring about - lead by a manger who had become utterly inept and was nothing short of a mad cuntt.
There is a new manger in place and we have an actual transfer team who regardless of anything - Will sign players we need and they will not pay over the odds for them even in this loadsa money environment that football has sold its soul for...
The signing of Unai Emery came right out of left field .. and something tells me that amongst all the transfer rumours and fake ***** news - a signing will be made that Will Surprise Everyone .... and if not!? So the fuckk What - Some on here seem to have forgotten the utter depths of despair we were in under the evil that was wenger
Small steady steps will see us grow strong and return to being THE Arsenal we all have known and loved since our childhood, to do so they will need to be given time and support instead of people whining and bitching all the time, simply because we don't go out and spend £300 million.. FFS!

Man Utd and Chelsea were linked with sokratis last summerGoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 11:32 pmI can't understand all this stuff about Lichsteiner being such a great buy, he's 34 not 24, we'll get what maybe two half seasons out of him.
People are so elated over the removal of Wenger they're yet again failing to see the lack of ambition being shown right now, this is supposed to be the start of a new era and yet at this moment i can't see any difference in the transfer strategy from the last one.
Mustafi and Xhaka were both seen as positive additions by most when they first arrived and look how mediocre they have been, and before the revisionists get started go read their threads Andrew you'll see very little dissension over those purchases and i include myself in that.
I'm seriously struggling to see where the ambition lies in a 34 year old Veteran, a 17 year old prospect and if Sokratis happens a player i've seen linked with no-one else![]()
I hope to fuck i'm wrong but seriously this feel so much like more of the same at the moment....![]()
