Arsenal Action

[Reddaz]

It is starting to get really silly that whenever anyone has a for opinion when it comes to Wenger you say they are part of the Arsene Brigade. One minute this site is too negative and people are slating the site saying we are getting a bad reputation bacause of this negativity. Then when people back Wenger people come on here saying they are part of the Arsene Brigade.

There is no Arsene Brigade. Its crap. I slate wenger when I feel he deserves it and I give him credit when he deserves it. Like most people on here.

I for one am proud of us this season. Yes we got beat by Barcelona but they are the best team in the world. There team is sick, it's like a dream team! Guardiola has managed Barca ? a dream team ? People slate Wenger and say the reason he won the trophies so quick was because he was given a solid defense aswell as bergkamp. Well Guardiola was given a dream team ? Give him a normal team and would he be any good?

And are people forgetting about Liverpool ? how much money have they spent over the years and look at where they are. Things could be so much worse then they are right now. We can still win the league and I bet if we do all these people will be saying Wenger is a genious.

I share your opinion about giving the credits to Wenger when he deserves and other way around....and I am saying he is genius,he really is but he has to realize that some elements of his philosophy just aren't good enough to lift us on the top,this what he is doing and keeping us here where we are now with minimum resources is excellent job but I don't think this is the place where we all want to stay forever!people want more and I don't see why that has to be problem!if we are always somewhere near the top than it's natural to demand,expect and to take some steps to reach the top next season!if we are near the top than clearly we have to do more to reach the top

Arsene Wenger drops Chamakh hint

April 17, 2010

Arsene Wenger has given a clear indication that Marouane Chamakh could be joining Arsenal on a free transfer, and the Frenchman is adamant that with the Gunners in a "much stronger" financial position, his spending power could rival Chelsea's this summer.

Arsenal's possible recruitment strategy is a matter of some intrigue as, barring a collapse by both Chelsea and Manchester United in the final three games of the season, the club will finish without a trophy for the fifth year in succession.

Wenger has indicated that changes to the playing staff are inevitable, and Bordeaux striker Chamakh is widely expected to move to North London on a Bosman free transfer in June having spoken in glowing terms of the Gunners in recent months.

Typically, Wenger remains reluctant to confirm any deal for the Morocco striker but has given the strongest hint yet that Chamakh will join Arsenal at the end of his contract in France.

"We will announce the deals after the league [finishes]," Wenger said. "He is one of the players who has a good chance to join us."

Arsenal's likely failure to end their well-publicised trophy drought has led to speculation that Wenger may relax his prudent policy and invest in a number of areas - notably in goal, defence and attack.

The Gunners' transfer plans have been hampered in recent years by the debts incurred in moving to Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2006, but following reports that Wenger could have as much as £30 million at his disposal, the manager admits he is in a strong position should he opt to challenge big spenders such as London rivals Chelsea.

"I think we can overcome [Chelsea]," Wenger said. "For a while we were not investing maybe because we had built the stadium but I think our financial situation is now becoming much stronger and we will be capable to buy the players we need to buy.

"No we cannot [compete] on wages with Chelsea. That is simple. I believe what is not normal is not our wage bill but their wage bill because that should not be allowed. However they cannot all go to Chelsea, it is as simple as that. There are top players outside of the ones Chelsea want to buy who are good enough for us."

Wenger's own future is becoming a matter of some speculation as his current contract runs for one more season. Chairman Peter Hill-Wood told Soccernet he expects Wenger to remain at the club and the Frenchman underlined his commitment to Arsenal when rejecting the chance to join Real Madrid last summer.

Whether he extends his association with the club into a 16th season remains uncertain at present, but Wenger is happy that having overseen the development of the club's London Colney training ground, the construction of Emirates Stadium and the assembly of a talented, if young squad, the future appears secure for the Gunners.

"This club has never been in a stronger situation," Wenger said. "The club has a new stadium, fantastic training facilities, is in a strong financial situation, has a very young team who is playing at the top. What can happen to the club?

"I am like everybody. I act everyday like I will stay my whole life here but knowing that will stop as well. It will be the final year of the contract and I will give the maximum I can to this club. First of all it is my nature and I want to do well for the club. After I don't think that the future of this club is necessarily linked only with me. All the ingredients are here to be successful and I believe we will be."

Who's the biggest fools at Arsenal? Wenger,or the fans that keep defend him?

Our season is now over, and for the 5 season in a row we have nothing to show for it.

Todays game sums Wenger and this bunch of players up. Pass from side to side,pass back, keep the ball, pass, we have a chance to shoot.. But pass!! Pretty football with nothing to show.
How many saves did Kirkland have to make?

This 4-5-1 is just disgusting Nicklas Bendtner had NO support at all. You can blame poor goalkeeping again but there is only one person to blame for today and the past 5 seasons and that's Wenger.

Wenger has put together a squad of over rated over hyped players with the losing mentality.

Sol Campbell is the only player at Arsenal who seems to give a F##k. Where is all this great spirit that Wenger keeps telling us about?

The sad fact is that Wenger keeps telling us how great we are and how great the club is looking for the future, Most of you muppets keep falling for this trick. At the end of each of the last seasons Wenger comes out and says the same old .

"We have money to spend and in the summer I will address our problems"

"My main goal is to keep this bunch of players together"

Then its

"our players returning will be like new signings"

And then "I didn't want to sign and it would have killed our young players"

Lets be honest, We have punched well above our weight this season and i really don't know how we were even still in a title race? But to get to this position and need to win the last 5 games to win the title and then to lose to the spurs and then to wigan is nothing more then a disgrace. And the way our players didn't even seem to care is what really pisses me off the most.

Its time for a massive reality check for some of you gooners, You cant blame injuries or the ref anymore.

Why have we not won anything since 2005?

Our manager, who 90% of you muppets keep telling me "knows" is NOT up to the job. We have 2 goalkeers of such ineptitude that i doubt that would even get into the West Ham or Wigan team. Wenger sicks with crap like Almunia, Fabianski, Denilson & Silvestre
Wengers 4/5/1 tactics are a disgrace. He wants us to play like Barca but we just dont have the players. Its time to get back to 4/4/2.

And when it was clear to us all that we needs to sign a few player in the transfer window Wenger banked the money "not for the first time"

For all them reasons I hope you can all now see that Wenger is to blame and I hope that you will NOW stop defending him and keep telling us that " Arsene knows " or "in Arsene we trust"

Enough is enough, We cant keep putting up with this crap.

I agree with Wenger we have made improvement this season 3rd from 4th In Arsene we trust. 6 seasons now with nothing

We're gonna struggle for 4th at this rate.

This is our 5th game without a win?

Draw to Barcelona
Loss to Barcelona
Draw to Birmingham
Loss to Spurs
Loss to Wigan

...and I am tired of listening some stories saying that we are doing fine concerning on our current position etc...,no we are not doing fine,cause we had everything in our hands,specially in the EPL,we had the easiest games in our hand than any other opponent in the title race and we were only 3 points behind!someone will say,"we had too many injuries",that's different story we can talk about that too,and at least that's indicating that we need to add better players as back ups and have more depth in the squad,and I think we failed in preparation for this season!it's end of the season and soon we will be in position to analyze players and manager,good things and mistakes
