I believe that there are concerns over his man management. Certainly had issues in his last post. Allegri looks like a fairly impeccable replacement to me. Just seems a good fit. At this stage it seems so unrealistic that Wenger can last out this new two year contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that Wenger had earmarked Martinez as his replacement, as far back as Martinez's last season at Wigan. It is interesting to see that now Martinez is Belgium coach he has Thierry Henry on his staff. We will have to wait till after the World Cup, but if Deschamps drops the ball again Wenger could be the new France coach, the one job I think he covets.

SantiSuk Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yesterday's rumours: Mickey-tarian: No thanks Richarlison: watched Watford play a couple of full games earlier in the season and thought that he was a guy we should be after; think he's cooled down since, but still a great prospect and a left side forward in the same role as Alexis. Aubameyang: now that does excite me, but is he really available for £63m*? Again I think he's had poor recent form but I think I read before that he is disaffected at Dortmund. Could be another Sanchez problem stored up but hell of a striker last season and early this. Taking Aubam would maybe mean that Wenger has a real concern he wasted 60m on Lacazette (still believe there is a £60m box-fox in there, but Arsenal's set-up makes him hunt for the ball on the edges - complete waste of his strengths IMO). No repeats of the Mahrez rumours. Would not have minded his acquisition but Richarlison is more of a future play and Aubamayang is different class and more what we need. I'm guessing that Pep has been unimpressed with Sanchez's personal attitude over recent months and that's more of the reason Citeh have stepped out of the race than fit or form. If so, maybe Sanchez should heed! Clearly City don't need him to clean-up this season. Chelsea rumoured to be in the Sanchez chase now. I reckon they need him more than any other team (except for Arsenal!) *Can't believe I'm saying 'only £63m' - the modern game eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 aubameyang doesn't really seem to address arsenal's issues at the moment. plus he's apparently being a prick off the pitch at dortmund. you'd also have to wonder why arsenal aren't facing competition from madrid, chelsea, PSG etc to sign him.

I am sure if you dont sign him now, he will be in spain in the summer the latest. Yes, he doesn't act professional, but who does nowadays? Remember Dembele who didnt show up to training, didnt answer phonecalls etc...nobody knew if he was alive or not....Barca still took him / wanted him. Mhkytarian did similar things to get to Manu. Anyways, Aubamuyang is a great striker, great personality. He will be an asset for ANY team. If you have a chance to get him and afford him, he'll score goals. I just think ( and hope :) ) he will be overpriced. He is 28 ( yes, in his prime, but in 2-3 years not anymore and "worthless" ). He just extended his contract last october or november another year to get a higher salary and dortmund a higher release fee....otherwise he would've been a notch cheaper. While I am sad he is leaving, I pretty much expected it to happen in the summer and I'm glad we will get a very good transfer fee for him...just curious how high....and curious who Dortmund will buy as a replacement. Though I don't think we will need a replacement. We have 2 good ones just needing a chance...this will be their opportunity. Good luck on getting Auba. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guess is overy analysing and the truth is printed almost everyday. Why pay for this guy now when he is free in 5 months. If he wants MCFC so badly he should button up and see out his contract. Swapping for mikryan is a good deal though if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's a complete nightmare apparently, which might explain why such a talented player has such few suitors. But, as you say, this wouldn't address Arsenal's issues and you have to question Wenger's logic. Its a "same old Wenger" signing rather than dealing with defensive issues.

SantiSuk Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Don't expect me to be celebrating the win over Chelsea last night. Waste of space competition for already stretched top football clubs - should be optional to participate for Prem clubs. Didn't watch the final last time around on 2011 and won't be watching the Man City final. Curmudgeonly or what? Have no problem if other fans think differently and hope they enjoy their day out at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Think Santi you've been listening to Wenger (and others) too much. The league cup has been around for 57 years or so (since 1961? ) and it's been compulsory for all 92 league clubs to join in for almost 50 years (since 1971?), and for the majority of that time, indeed until recent years, for clubs and their fans to want to win it. It's now 'fashionable' for the top teams - led possibly by Wenger - to play weakened teams because there's "too many games". <deleted>! Are clubs really playing that many more games than teams in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s? I doubt it - there's definitely fewer league games (42 was / 38 now) for a start. I have great memories of going to 3 Wembley league cup finals (W2, L1) and id love to go again if the opportunity arose. Was I blasé when we played in the final vs Sunderland and Liverpool in recent seasons - was I heck, I was desperate for a win as I will be on 25 February. So sorry but im very definitely of a different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
