The Arsenal Thread XXII

Buy another CM, yet we let Chelsea have fabregas :/

Fabregas would have been nice but we need someone with more defensive attributes to their game too like Sncheiderlin etc

not convinced on milner.. sure he is free.. but hes on what, 120k at city? that would make him our 3rd highest paid player.. behind ozil and sanchez.

Way to much for someone who would surely only be a squad player..

- though if he were to take a wage cut.. he could be very useful

Milner would be a good capture.

Walcott has opened talks to discuss his future at Arsenal over the next two weeks too.

And Dortmund have called a press conference at 12:30pm (UK time) and it widely believed to announce the imminent departure of Klopp which has set Piers Moron off on Twitter and the rest of the #WengerOut brigade.

There's no chance he'd be on £120k here, most likely around 80/90k but I don't see it being any higher. That's why I thought he'd be a better fit at Liverpool though as they're more likely to start him often than we are.

klopp expected to say he wants time away from football before managing again.. so anyone wanting him to replace wenger straight away, will be dissapointed.

I would like him to come to the PL though.. just for his personality.. but I am not entirely convinced about arsenal

Not sold on Klopp AT ALL. If he's struggling in the Bundesliga then I can only imagine how he'd cope with the premier league. Wenger's done well to keep the team near enough a title challenge this season and last, and I only see us improving next year (now that we actually have the depth and quality). I feel Klopp would be a step backwards for a year or two and there's no reason to do so. UTD/Liverpool/Soton/City/Chelsea all edging for the title/top four so if we were to make such a drastic managerial change, I could see us potentially dropping out of the top four which is too much of a risk to take.

It's not that I'm holding my breath over Wenger making us title challengers either, but I'd rather stay close to around 2nd/3rd then miss out on CL altogether.
The right time will come to replace Wenger and even though I'm WengerOut, now isn't the time.

Lol Cleverly is just as likely of happening as Zigic was.

Before his contract with Birmingham expired at the end of the 13/14 season, he was apparently on £60k a week and refused to take a pay cut with Birmingham being unable to shift him on due to his hefty wage demands, almost brought the entire club down when they were in the **** financially. He's nothing special anyway & never was.

embarrassing for sky to even put that up tbh. i'm more intrigued as to who will replace klopp at dortmund cos he's not going to jump in and replace wenger so don't really care what else he does.

He's only struggling due to the fact, he's had key players sold season after season. That's not really the case for Arsenal anymore is it? Even after they won the bundesliga for the first time, he had to sell Sahin one of his best players. Season after that Kagawa left, Gotze the next, Lewandonski the following. At the end of this season how many players are expected to leave? Reus? Hummels? Gundogan?
That's four seasons where he's taken Dortmund, punching way above their weight, with the way they play football as well.

Not expecting him to be in the Prem for at least another season. But if anything Kloop is as good as a replacement for Wenger you're ever likely going to get.
