Arsenal and Mr.Wenger

[Rich]

The only reason it makes sense for them now is that Guardiola may well be available. He would be the only condidate who would represent a continuity of philosophy whilst also being capable of shaking things up.

Wenger has been exceptionally good for Arsenal but they are at a crossroads. The same problems have recurred year after year of late. Something needs to change for teh way they are looking to defend and build a defence.

OK, I'll give you that. If Guardiola was available then yes, freshen it up but Wenger has consistently produced great or very good teams.

He has his flaws but knows how to win the league.

Plus, Pep likes playing Mascherano as a centreback he'd fail in England

There's only one man who can turn their season around and effectively manage their expectations...

Just seen this tweeted - surely can't be true!

Arsenal Supporters Trust meeting tonight has discovered they spend £130m on wages. £40m more than Spurs.

They are big wage payers, were above us for a good few years but think we overtook them very recently, might be different now though after we got rid of a lot of the ****e like Degen, Jova, El Zhar, Poulsen etc in the summer. Thats why it always makes me laugh when it's said they spend as much as Bolton or something.

Yeah just because they have this apparent pay ceiling which they wont go through doesn't mean that they don't have a load of players on a decent whack

Was looking at the figures quoted for RVP's last contract, around 80k.

Also those figures will take in Fabregas, Clichy, Nasri and Eboue all of whom must have been paid a fair bit

He looks like a right window licker. State of his ****ing neck - even when he was young he had a neck like a turkey ffs.

I dont think Hodgson would be right for Arsenal. They need someone who's not afraid to take a chance and sometimes take risks in dangerous situations.

Can you imagine Roy ever doing this, for example? I rest my case.

[Exiled_red]

They're probably the best run club in the league.

Ditching Wenger would be a very foolish thing to do. They might be struggling (relatively) at the moment but they've still got the nucleus of a very good side.

The thing is though they've had the nucleus of a good side for the past few years, they need a few extra players to take them on to the next level and win trophies, but Wenger seems reluctant to spend money to bring them in.
