I think he has taken us as far as he can.....done a good job TBH (although spent a lot of money) ....we need SILVERWARE this season ...dont have faith he will deliver

Thought of seeing jesus and nekitah upfront......and maybe viera getting starts ......too much to take
He could always go manage Chelse and we hire Allegri. Chelsea would surge above us in the table, but hey, at least we will have a 'proper' manager.


Whheyyyy WTF??
Not sure about all that shit....but anyone can see we will struggle for goals with the present line up

He still has time to get a goal scoring striker......needed desperately

Last season we scored 91 league goals. Literally our highest ever PL total.

Ooh I can't wait for the bus top parade showing off that trophy to the- oh, right. :roll:

yes...... and just imagine what we would do with a proper goalscorer
Doesn't work like that. If you played a team of 10 strikers, don't expect to be a prolific team.

The idea we get a static number 9 who plays off the shoulder and just hangs around upfront waiting for 'service', maybe that player gets his 20 league goals, but I would expect the goals across the team to dry up.

Arteta prefers a false 9 for a reason. This idea than if we 'bring in an Ivan Toney' that we will become this team that scored 120 goals in the league is such a fallacy, a constant false assumption so many thinks believe.

Havertz is better than shit Ivan anyway

You are Donald Trump! :wink:

You over react with hysteria to everything! :lol:

Suggestion: We need a top striker.

Your response: he won't score 580 goals a season and we'll end up with 12 strikers, no goalkeeper, and everyone else on the team will stop scoring! PANIC!

Suggestion: There might be a better manager with more experience than Arteta.

Your response: Yeah go ahead, appoint Pulis! Appoint Sammy Lee! Appoint Fat Sam Allardyce! We'll be relegated and go into administration without Arteta! Aarrgh!! PANIC!!

Suggestion: let's sign a top striker that will add those extra goals that win titles.

Your response: YEAH LET'S SIGN A BLOKE THAT JUST STANDS THERE WAITING FOR THE BALL!! PANIC PANIC ARTETA IS GOD PANIC!!

Needs a major trophy this year otherwise next summer it could be carnage for the club with our outgoing transfers

Saka, Odegaard, and the jewel in our crown Saliba will all have their heads turned.

I tend to agree.
However what do you consider a major trophy to be?

To be honest whether we like it or not the FA Cup has been even more devalued this season - it probably sits at about the same level as the league cup for the players these days.

So it’s either the Champions League or League - and we have little chance in either of them.

Honestly, I'd accept an FA Cup win as I refuse to let these modern entitled cùnts devalue it in my eyes. But even that would only be a stop gap minimum requirement. He'd need to win the league the following season or I'd want him gone.

I'm not prepared to get into a ten year "project" that delivers no league title like Wenger's last decade. 5 or 6 seasons with North of 700 million spent says Artedu should win a league title. If not then thanks for your work but goodbye to you both.

It's a success and results driven business at the highest end. Deliver or move on.
