Guest Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's hilarious how Wenger is still in charge. I sometimes wonder why Arsenal don't realize that enough is enough. Boca Juniors realized that with Carlos Bianchi after seeing that under him they weren't getting anywhere. He should be the example for Arsenal as he's a Boca legend and got the sack anyways.

Don't think the man has ever spent over 40million on a single player so he has a point, Mbappe will come with a price. Mbappe is a Chelsea fan, (no where near as massive a fan as Falcao was with Man City) so hoping we use it as leverage if Conte does indeed want him next year.

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted April 27, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted April 27, 2017 Oh i dont dispute Wenger was never going to spend the fee Mbappe will command, but i dispute his logic/excuse. They CAN afford it, they HAVE the finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asura Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Arsene Wenger: I went to Kylian Mbappe's house to try to sign him Quote Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has told beIN SPORTS how he visited Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe at his home last year in an attempt to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. Wenger has made no secret of his admiration for Mbappe, 18, in the past, saying in February that Arsenal have been tracking the youngster, before reiterating the club's interest in him last month. Mbappe's performances for Monaco this season have led him to be linked with big-money moves to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, but Wenger has said he came close to signing him last year. "The player would tell you that I was at his home last year to try to get him here because he was at the end of [his] contract, but Monaco managed to keep him and the decision was very, very tight," Wenger said. "But I could understand it as well because he was educated there and at the end decided to stay there." Wenger suggested last month that he fears Arsenal might be priced out of a move for Mbappe, given the reported competition they would face for his signature. According to The Guardian, United have been turned away by Monaco after making a bid of £72 million, with the French club holding out for £100m. Asked if Arsenal have a chance of signing the attacker, Wenger said: "I don't know, that is down to him. "But today he will decide where he goes, because he can say Real Madrid maybe, Barcelona maybe, Arsenal, Manchester -- he can go where he wants." Arsenal legend Robert Pires said last week that he believes his former club will sign Mbappe. https://www.espnfc.us/story/3118645/arsene-wenger-i-went-to-kylian-mbappes-house-to-try-to-sign-him-for-arsenal Edited May 4, 2017 by Asura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Interesting... It's how things used to be done and I remember stories of many managers in the past doing things like that where they even go to the player's house. These days clubs have directors for sport to do these things. He would be a great great signing without a doubt. If Alexis leaves (he's currently talking to Bayern Munich) then it could open a path to signing him but that would be sad really as I'd prefer to have both players at the club. We could offer Özil and pay the £70m instead of the £100m couldn't we? Can't see Monaco saying no to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Alexis Sánchez sends a message once again According to Mundo Deportivo Alexis Sánchez has sent out another one of his messages (an interview on SKY SPORTS) to Arsenal FC and also with information for the Arsenal fans. It's not the first time he's sent this sort off message out and in the past he's always done it around the same time of the season seeming to be telling the club to sort things out in the transfer window so as be more competitive. These are some of his quotes; "The season hasn't been for for me because I came here to win trophies, to be playing semi-finals in the Champions League and to be winning the Premier League. I am very disappointed not to have been involved in those situations." "If a player is to be remembered and be seen as to have made it, he needs to be at a club playing at the top echelons and to win the Champions League and league titles." "Life is short and so is a footballer's career. Every training session we have I want to win, the matches we play I want to win that that's the impotence that I feel when I go home sad and seeing the faces of the fans at the end of the game living again the same disappointments. I don't just play for me, I play for my club and most of all the fans because they are the ones that top it all off when they celebrate and you get lost in the happiness. Not winning a game where you know you should be winning as a player and your intuition while playing is extremely frustrating." When Alexis was asked about his future and if he will be staying at Arsenal, the answer left quite a bit of uncertainty; "Both the club and myself will talk once the season has ended, because if I talk now I can't concentrate on what I want to do which is give 100% when I play."

Administrator Stan Posted May 11, 2017 Administrator Share Posted May 11, 2017 'Leicester title win bad for football' What an absolute berk Wenger can be. Also says that 'football may need a radical rethink if teams are not rewarded for taking the initiative'. which is ironic because we certainly took the initiative when we found ourselves top of the league last season. we weren't there to just make up the numbers, Arsene, you grumpy old twat! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/05/09/arsene-wenger-chelsea-follow-trend-set-leicester-avoid-seizing/ Quote Arsene Wenger has claimed that Chelsea will continue a trend this season of winning the Premier League without what he calls “big possession” and says football may need a radical rethink if teams are not rewarded for taking the initiative. Chelsea can clinch the Premier League title on Friday night should they beat West Bromwich Albion but are only sixth this season in terms of possession, while Leicester City won last season’s title when they were 18th in that ranking with an average only of 42.43 per cent of the ball. With Arsenal now facing a major struggle to qualify for the Champions League, Wenger also pointed out how clubs not involved in Europe’s elite competition were performing so strongly domestically. “It raises questions,” he said. “There are two kinds. The last two seasons, teams who have not had big possession won the league and, as well, the teams who were not involved in Europe at all won the league. We will see how Chelsea respond next season.” Of the possession issue and whether it challenged whether Arsenal should change, Wenger said: “Over a longer period it is still the teams who have the most possession. I still think a sport has to encourage initiative and if it rewards too much teams who don’t take the initiative, then we have to rethink the whole process because people will not, for ever, come to watch teams who do not want to take the initiative. "The responsibility of people who make the rules are always to encourage teams who want to play. Football is a balance. The right balance between possession and progressing.” that bit in bold right at the end. How's progression going for you, Arsene? Got further in the Champions League in 1 season than you have in the past 6 season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asura Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 He is old and he doesnt know what he is talking about, he is losing the respect and legacy he built a decade ago. He should just shut up and do his job and retire this summer. Maybe leicester and chelsea didnt play beautiful football but thats not written in the rule book either, all clubs doesnt have to make 100s of passes before they take a shot on goal like arsenal tries to do.

SirBalon Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Obviously nobody reads his Eurosport column on a regular basis because over the years he's come out with brilliant ones like when he said two years ago that Barça was finished and that they may not even qualify for the Champions League that season (he was opportunistic in that view after their defeat away to Real Sociedad in La Liga and Barcelona looked in crisis)... Barça went onto win the treble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I don't think he's too wrong. It is bad for football if direct/defensive teams constantly win trophies. You'd rather watch a United of old than what the last two years has produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I agree with his sentiment, but instead of whinging about It, why not get your arsenal side winning instead? Old mong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted May 12, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted May 12, 2017 No he's just showing himself up to be arrogant as per usual. It's a total myth that us or Chelsea are bad to watch and a myth that Arsenal are that great to watch nowadays either. We defended when we had to? What a crime against football that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
