if he does go on the board...would not the replacement be a board decision, not solely Wenger's

Her after Stanny having a thousand pops at Arsenal not being able to win trophies seems to have forgot the Cup Final last season
LOL
Be keeping a close eye on the League Cup Semi final 2nd leg
Arsenal being in the box seat at home and scores level and with a show of knocking Chelsea out
Attachment 1538
Yes im triggered because nothing we did before 2003 is considered legit apparently. Not our fault no one but Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal had money to spend. We came in and stopped it being Man U winning it every year and made the prem more competitve
2003 ??
I not talking about Abramovich
Before that you had Ken Bates and Harding
They also threw the money around
Before the EPL started Chelsea were a nothing top flight second division club
Won a cup and a league but had really done **** all
Cash got you to where you are
Go have a look at the line ups Chelsea had when the EPL started . Some rank and file shit **** players
Cash changed this
Just like Man City cash got them to where they are
So as for looking at facts about European Cups seeing as you want to expand the criteria to now include the shit **** comps
Man U winning the European Cup v Benfica at Wembley in 1968 was obviously after 1970/71 season in your eyes??
Another clueless plastic fan who thinks the league started in 2003
I don't think I the one talking about the league starting in 2003
Chelsea were around a long time before Abramovich and along time before Bates and Harding started throwing money at them
Back in those days Chelsea were shit
Make no mistake about it
Just like all these Man City fans nowadays who have NFI what they were like 15-20 years ago playing in the 3rd tier
#MoneyTalks
It also you bringing up the European Cup thing
Which you clearly wrong about
The fact you only checked on Liverpool shows you only a new dawn plastic EPL fan anyway
Is this still an Arsenal thread? Asking for a friend.
Agree.
How do Arsenal fans feel about the swap deal? Is Mkhitaryan what you feel is needed in the team?
Kos
Mustafi
Holding
Chambers
Mertesacker
Mavropanos (youth)
Bielek (youth)
Monreal is very effective LCB in a back three.
I think we have plenty of depth at CB.
We need to defend better as a team (especially in transition)... and probably drop Cech at the end of the year.
On paper I don't think any of the top 6 has significantly better CBs than the rest. They all have strengths and weaknesses. Our problems have been coming from midfield or from not winning 2nd balls. City have such a good defense because their opposition doesn't have enough time with the ball to score against them, but I wouldn't say their defenders are world class. United play with 10 defenders so it's hard to critique their CBs. Liverpool defenders are in awe of what their forwards are doing to teams and get caught napping. Chelsea have been relatively tight at the back but can't score goals, their defenders have to help out in attack and get caught out sometimes. Tottenham can't get their best 4 out on the park and have an unbalanced midfield and give constantly foul too much.
None of the clubs above you in the league would buy Kos nor would he get in their teams as a starter. A world class defender or someone as good as you lot think Kos is lifts the team ten fold and earns you points with their defending but you look no better defensively when he is or out of the team
On a side note your new LB Kolasinac?? is class, Why isnt he getting much gametime atm?
this.
Liverpool showed the blueprint on how to 'compete' and some times win against City. You need a fit fast front 3 that close the ball down and are willing to attack as soon as they get the ball. The dont win the ball back everytime and recycle like Peps Barca teams, but the Liverpool blokes created enough kaos at the front half of the pitch to make City look ordinary.
FFS they have John Stones back there hes almost slow enough to play for Chelsea.
Chelsea/Spurs/United with relatively stagnant traditional centre forwards dont match up well with City. A full strength Arsenal probably would.............right up until Sanchez left.
Its interesting hearing the Sanchez comments about his attitude. The dude from Dortmund youre trying to bring in is every bit the same diva isnt he?
Different sort of Diva. He didn't like Mourinho's tactics (same as martial, mata, shaw, etc) however he didn't stay long enough to give in and play Mou's way. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
My main concern with him is his passing accuracy. He isn't as bad as Sanchez but he does lose the ball too often for my liking.
