[Siddonlook11]

We really like to punish ourselves.

Rumours of Lemar signing and Arsenal in talks with PSG for Presnel Kimpembe.

This is getting too much.

So we have Lemar, Mahrez, Lacazette and Kimpembe. What are they smoking there at the Emirates?

We have??? see drug addiction ohhh ... is this the same way we had Torres and Etoo?

Uncle like you said its drug addiction

[Waffiman]

When Xhaka sets up the chance and Lacazette scores. The Emirates will chant:

"Xhaka Laca Boom Boom"!!!!!!!!

SMH we are still waiting for this

my ribs ohhhh

What the village id1ot does not know is we have chanted it at the Emirates.

This is what happens when you open your mouth with a brain full of ignorance.

Anytime I read his posts, I say to myself, if you think education is expensive, try ignorance. A pity.

[Waffiman]

Lacazette, Sanchez and Ozil all done.

Okay according to rumours.

Where are all those doom and gloom merchants who said nobody will sign for Arsenal.

Sanchez and Ozil too? If so, best off-season in a long while .... except for the signing of Ozil

i hope you see how people lie in this forum with no shame.
Was it best off season uncle?

Ye gbele ohhh ..: you dey find Waffi trouble ..: my hand no dey ohhh

Education, education, education.

When you are sent to school, learn. It is important because, one thing they teach you is called comprehension. It is clear he has the education of flea. He cannot comprehend for toffee. A complete waste of school fees.

I was one of those who called for Arsenal to move on from people like him and Welbeck and others who were/are not champions league quality but in the moment when the boy dey do wetin you want i.e. moving on, tip your hat to him, wish him luck, and keep it moving. Which one be you abuse am as e dey waka? Reason am.

I wish you the absolute best, Theo. You are one of the good guys in my book. May your career hit greater heights in the future.

You worked hard, showed commitment, and actually delivered at a good level. As much as I'm fine with you moving on, I won't fail to recognize that you did well for the club I support.

Good tidings always...

Transfer dealings show Arsène Wenger is losing power
OLIVER KAY
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/spor ... -lq5c2jndt

Back in the relative calm of last May, Arsène Wenger joked about the idea of changes to the balance of power at Arsenal. A director of football? “I don’t know what it means,” he said.

“Is it someone who stands on the road and directs the players left and right? I’m manager of Arsenal. As long as I am manager, I will decide what happens on the technical front. That’s it.”

Spool forward eight months and Wenger’s assertion about calling the shots sounds a little flimsy. There is so much movement in and out of Arsenal’s training ground right now — Theo Walcott, Alexis Sánchez and possibly Olivier Giroud on the way out and two of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Malcom and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang expected to replace them — and while Wenger would still claim to be the man directing the traffic, the situation has changed.

It is not just the squad that is in a state of flux. This January revolution reflects a dramatic change behind the scenes at the Emirates Stadium. Wenger rejected a series of proposals last year over the appointment of a director of football — his former player Marc Overmars (Ajax) and Michael Zorc (Borussia Dortmund) were among those mooted — but essentially that role, the one that the manager felt would be a threat to his authority, has been created and split in two. Transfer strategy is being driven by the new head of recruitment Sven Mislintat, formerly of Dortmund, and the start of next month will bring the arrival of Raul Sanllehi, the former Barcelona director of football who, in what looks a diplomatic nod to Wenger, will be called head of football relations.

No, there has not been the top-line overhaul that so many Arsenal supporters clamoured for last summer — Wenger is still manager and “Silent” Stan Kroenke is still owner — but the wind of change is blowing through a club that has stood still for far too long.

Darren Burgess, as director of high performance, is leading the sports science division that was previously part of Wenger’s vast domain. Ivan Gazidis, the chief executive who seemed to be a lone voice when declaring that last season’s disappointments must be “the catalyst for change” now has others singing from the same hymn-sheet. Wenger’s remains a highly significant voice but now it is joined, perhaps even drowned out, by others.

Mislintat’s influence is already greater than Wenger seemed to have in mind less than a fortnight ago, when he referred to the new head of recruitment as someone who “sometimes might know somebody we might ignore . . . in a little club in Germany”. The signing of Konstantinos Mavropanos, the Greece Under-21 defender from the obscurity of PAS Giannina, was entirely a Mislintat project. When reports emerged last week of a move to sign Aubameyang from Dortmund, Wenger said that it was “not a possibility”. Misinformation in managerial press conferences is nothing new but this seems genuinely to have been Wenger’s position at the time.

The manager is understood to have had reservations about Aubameyang, whose outstanding scoring record is set against a reputation for difficult behaviour, but Mislintat appears to have persuaded him and others that the Gabon forward, whom he helped to recruit for Dortmund from Saint-Étienne in 2013, is worth the risk. Likewise Mkhitaryan, who starred at Dortmund before his unhappy spell at Manchester United.

It is hardly a new situation. The director of football model is accepted at most clubs, even if there are vacancies at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, after the departures of Michael Emenalo and Paul Mitchell, and a vacuum at Manchester United, where there is now startlingly little sporting expertise beyond the coaching staff. Jürgen Klopp credits Liverpool’s transfer committee for the signing of Mohamed Salah. At Manchester City they pay extravagant transfer fees but they have had some outstanding successes in the transfer market over recent years, scouting in a depth and a breadth that Arsenal are only now beginning to consider.

Nobody can yet be certain whether Mislintat and Sanllehi are the right men to lead this overhaul of Arsenal’s recruitment practices or overall football strategy. Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang are top talents, but both will be 29 before the start of next season, reflecting Arsenal’s need for expediency — a legacy of the mismanagement that has allowed Sánchez and Mesut Özil to drift into the final months of their contracts, in a squad that looks mediocre in so many areas — rather than inspired talent identification. Younger, more imaginative solutions will be required as Arsenal prepare for a rebuilding exercise that is long overdue.

Arsenal have been undermined not just by an uninterested owner, a jaded manager and underperforming players, but by a lack of clear long-term strategy and expertise behind the scenes. It has led to a situation where Sánchez and Özil are in the final months of their contracts — the former set for United, it seems — and where two of their very few creditable performers this season, Shkodran Mustafi and Jack Wilshere, were among the many who would have been allowed to leave in the summer had suitable offers been received.

Emirates Powerbroker

Ivan Gazidis Chief executive. Arrived in 2009 but is determined to oversee the “change” that he promised supporters last year

Sven Mislintat Head of recruitment. Arrived in November from Borussia Dortmund. Already completed deal for Mavropanos and made bids for Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang

Raul Sanllehi Head of football relations. Former Barcelona director of football who will arrive next month with responsibility for leading negotiations with players and clubs

Huss Fahmy Transfer negotiator. Former Team Sky head of legal and commercial

Darren Burgess Director of high performance. Australian sports scientist who had a spell at Liverpool

Mistakes will be made, undoubtedly, in this clearing of the decks, but Wenger has no choice but to go along with it. The era of the all-powerful, autocratic manager is over and it seems strange that Wenger, a graduate of the French school, where the coach is entraineur rather than all-powerful boss, was resistant for so long to the help needed since David Dein departed as vice-chairman in 2007.

So many of Wenger’s other allies have moved on too. Whereas Sir Alex Ferguson managed beyond his 70th birthday by renewing his squad and staff constantly, never allowing the grass to grow under his feet, Wenger resisted change for too long. Now it is happening around him.

Beloved, butt of all jokes...at the same stage in their career.

[kajifu]

Well articulated, Waffi. That game left me speechless per Wenger's selections. Adding to your points, why sub Sead and leave off color bellerin at LB? Why remove Lacazette and leave Welbeck on? As far as I'm concerned right now, it's either Danny goes for deliverance, or he should be sold. No use making wonderful runs without any production.

Why leave Ozil on the pitch after that performance? Then, Xhaka and Ramsey were simply having a laugh. If Xhaka gives away the ball to any opponent again, he should be dropped. It's frustrating.

My brother abeg nor mention the subs. Dat na wen you want make my blood boil.

Wenger was truly a mad professor that became clueless last Saturday.

Wenger knows
