The Arsenal FC-Related News & Developments for 2016/2017

[platinum]

Class act by the Arsenal. After the game, the Arsenal donated £50,000 to Sutton, presented Sutton with a silver cannon rather than pennant, and all the players left all their shirts in the away dressing room. While Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain signed autographs for their opponents.

Yeah and the players proceeded to trash the Sutton locker room as they left

They left their jerseys and gear as souvenirs for the Sutton team...

Arsenal would be crazy to sell that kid at all. Oodles of potential. Get rid of Alexis and Ozil before selling off Holding.

At 50 million , Wenger and Gazidis will chauffeur him to the club sef

It has to be between Sampaoli & Jardim - for me it has to be Jardim with 3 - 4 Monaco players. Dude is a magic worker - something like 20 more goals scored than PSG after 26games - hello.

Simeone could be tempted to leave, add him to the list. Allegri too (though Juve are keen on him stying...if they win the UCL, he'll be open to leaving I imagine). There're options if Arsenal is serious about a fresh breath of air.

Diego's a great defensive coach - struggles when expected to win the league - happened with River Plate - now he has to go more expansive at Athletico & his team ain't competing in the league.
Allegri - great tactician but struggles with big personalities - happened with Milan.
With Sevilla & Monacao - these guys have had to be creative with way less resources

The issue is Wenger is not going anywhere unless the fans force him out and he leave in a bad way.
Take Diego's to manage the team and wipe that weak mentality of the boys.Set up a strong defensive team with good counter attack footie when playing those big teams and give ball also to those mid table team that like to defend.

Arsenal doesn't need to be expansive. When Arsene came, he was perfect because the team was tilted a little too much to the rigid side and he brought flair and combined it with the material present. What Arsenal needs now is some serious discipline married to the flair players present. Make the boys run till they puke then run some more, that's Simeone. He'd stay for 3-4 seasons and move on.

Any one of those four would be electric. Allegri handled Pogba just fine. I've been a huge proponent of Sampaoli, marked his Sevilla team as one of my preseason upstarts before he even coached a game there, that's how highly I rate him.

He's young, he's go lots to learn but if he continues at this rate, he'll be one of the best CBs in the league sooner rather than later. The kid has 'it'. You don't let that go for any money. Look at Man City's CB situation. Again, sell Alexis or Ozil before letting a young 21yr old super prospect slide. You can replace those two, you already know their ceiling. This young man? He could be worth more than John Stones some day and with the way prices are going, it'd be craziness.

I'll take what he has done with Monaco given the resources at his disposal over AW's performance against City all day. You can add being ahead of PSG who outplayed us by 20+ goals in the French league.
Have we shown the class this Monaco team did vs Spurs this season over 2 legs? See what this geezer is getting with that squad & compare our performances & output.

So our performance @Manc where we sat back scared & still got tired is better than Jardim being ahead of PSG in their league? I saw Spurs outplay us in our manor yet were handled twice by Monaco - i am convinced you're leg pulling - totally embarrassing to keep cutting AW slack. Gotta be a game to some of y'all.
All Monaco players left it all on the pitch - can you say that about our players under Arsenal-god!!!?

‘Arsenal should look at Jardim to replace Wenger’ - Julien Laurens
French football journalist Julien Laurens believes Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim should be considered as replacement for Arsene Wenger if the Frenchman decides to leave the Gunners this summer.

Laurens says Jardim “should be on Arsenal’s shortlist” as he sees the Portuguese coach having a future managing in England.

Arsenal will be expansive at core for a while - that's what AW has put in the water. As close to the club DNA as you can get.
Diego's son last year said if he left Madrid, it'll be to Inter - i don't know that he speaks English.
But the point with his tenure at River Plate & league performances with Ath now speaks to how he performs when he ain't the underdog. As a few Spanish journos have said, we don't have the team for how he plays - he's mainly a counter attacker - the same style(if you will) that led to JM losing the Real Madrid players.
We need a disciplinarian not scared to bench non-performers - Diego meets that but Allegri keeps being flagged for man-management.

Massimiliano Allegri not ideal replacement for Wenger at Arsenal

Several weeks ago - an Italian journo(whose name i forget) made a strong case for Maurizio Sarri over Allegri for Arsenal.

Again you are moving the goal posts .... we are talking about the guy who you claimed you want because of what he has done in Lique1. Wenger did more at monaco when the league was rigged for Tapie and Marseille . Don't even need to mention what he has done in the EPL with kids.

I agree Wenger should leave at seasons barring a miracle turnaround but your premise for Jardim is so flawed homie, and I generally agree with your positions

Big admirer of Jardim, Allegri, Simeone, Tuncel, Hasenhuttl, Sampaoli etc etc

That said we can't ignore work done by Sporting directors at club such as Monaco, Juve, Atletico, Dortmund, Leipzig, Sevilla etc etc.

Rangnick, Giuseppe Marotta, Monchi, Michael Zorc, Andrea Berta all integral to clubs success, as are the superb scouting and development operations of said clubs.

Gooners must not fall into the trap of thinking "messiah" manager be it any of above mentioned names joins the Arsenal and voila Arsenal win everything.

Entire football infrastructure needs to be at very least reorganized, at worst entirely overhauled. Like many Gooners I feel AW and Arsenal should part ways come the summer but let's not underestimate the task at hand of a post AW era.
