All those years of not willing to spend on experience and now you do, it's for players with high wages and no sell on value. :dead:

Club is completely backwards.

While it wasn't intentional, but buying low and selling high under Wenger, especially in the first decade, is what they should be doing, now. But they're going the compulsive gambler route, chasing the CL money, that it's actually do more harm now. Some Arsenal fans may not like it, but Auba was a panic buy.

Just think n the last 12 months, they signed 2 29 y/o on 200k p/w and given Ozil 350k p/w. When previously, they wouldn't give a over 30 y/o a 2 year deal.

This summer will be interesting but we will fukk it up. Cech, Welbeck, Ramsey, hopefully Koscielny, off the books.

Unfortunately we have a regime in place that is looking for agent led deals or players who should be playing for Sevila.

The Auba and Mhkitaryan deals sting the most for me because they’re significantly worse than the Ozil deal which is bad. Damn near committed £150M to two players who are useless.

The successor was the predecessor, better hope Monaco survive :mjlol: I think they might but if they don't, that is complete banter


Do you know how bad of a coach you have to be for the owners/management to even re-consider, let alone actually re-hire the coach they fired you for? On some " :whoa: ayy bring him back, this test is a no go!"

Nope. Actually think Stan is ok, not great but he stays out of the clubs business. Wenger and Gazidis, especially the latter fukked this up.

They're all to blame for different reasons. But if I had to pick the biggest reason, it's the payroll (Ozil at 350K/week is such a monstrous anchor) and the repeated failures to turn profits on selling players.
