Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[PendlePie]

Wenger vs Koeman is now 2 wins 5 draws and 5 losses.

Koeman
Mourinho

Probably Poch, and soon to be Pep. Some managers just have it over Wenger.

Im going Everton 1 Arsenal 2.

Hodgey, stick to tipping us to lose mate.

Before this game I didn't think we'd have a look at Draxler in January, after it I'm starting to re-think that.

Wenger has had a hard on for Draxler since his teenage days at Schalke. I read that Draxler has handed Wolfsburg a transfer request for January. If so, I'll be very very surprised if we don't bid for him (only for Bayern, ManU or West Bromwich Albion to come in at the last minute and grab him...)

 

[Cruyff14]

Let's hope we can bounce back from this with a good performance, and hopefully a win, against City.

 

[glenferry23]

Yeah his behaviour at Wolfsburg is certainly off putting. It's clear Wenger has been a fan of his for a while though so wondering if he may overlook that and think he can "change" him.

Also, I forgot how mental Arsenal twitter goes when we lose a game!

Perhaps if he's available on a bargain fee, Wenger may be tempted. But he just seems the type of character that Wenger gets rid of, instead of bringing in.

Also more importantly is the stack of attacking mids/wide players we have.

Can't see us spending £30m+ when you've already got Ox, Walcott, Iwobi, Lucas etc. Welbeck is also due back in January sometime.

Something would have to give. We'd need to sell first from one of the above. Or hopefully, we sell Ramsey.

Yeah the fee will be the decider, its clear he and wolfsburg both want him gone so they could be willing to let him go fairly cheap. If its in the region of 25 million i could see it happening

 

[Cruyff14]

Apparently it's 37m

 

[charcoalchicken]

Was never going to be an easy game, would have been happy with a draw, think he should have rotated the squad a bit tbh, it's almost must win against city now

 

[Genesis67]

Apparently it's 37m

£ or €?

 

[Cruyff14]

Pounds, I think.

But it could be Euros considering he's based on Germany.

I dunno, let's just go with over 30.

 

[elhadjihenry]

A buyout clause or is that what they are asking for?

If the club want him gone as much as he wants to leave, they won't get full price.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Exactly my thoughts. Both player and club are desperate to sell, there is a deal to be made. This is Arsenal's speciality!

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Chances are Chelsea will be 8 or 9 points clear of us come Sunday . Pathetic defending on the goals this morning, same defiances we have seen all to often over the last Decade.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Wenger vs Koeman is now 2 wins 5 draws and 5 losses.

Thats more embarrassing than his record vs Jose considering the respective sides they have managed.

 

[foxtrot36]

Bit of an overreaction

We will see

 

[HODGEYROAD]

We will see

Nah Im with you same old flaws etc etc, if limp into 3rd or 4th place coupled with a RD 16 CL exit i can't see Sanchez or Ozil signing deals

 

[PendlePie]

Haven't kept a clean sheet in 11 matches.

Feels like we're on the verge of a fairly bad run.

Asking I believe.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

After City we have a very favourable run until early Feb so we will avoid the bad run for now. Between Feb 5- Middle of March we play Chelsea, Liverpool, Southampton (away) & Bayern x 2 thats were we will truly implode.

Wenger has a laissez-faire attitude to coaching. The teams he puts out don't normally, as a rule, have any relevance to the opposition nor does he dabble very often in any tactical manoeuvres unlike the coaches you mentioned.

Whilst it's good to have faith that your side will seize momentum and dictate, the reality is that in that standard of football, one must always have due regard for the opposition because they're not scrubbers and the opposing coaches aren't novices.

Still, the league is ours for the taking if we get a good run with no injuries.

 

[PendlePie]

Shocking results this morning from our point of view. The players should be burning.

You've been awfully quiet while we've been winning, then suddenly turn up after our first defeat. WOB?

This.

Yes, the team picked by Wenger on Tuesday was dubious. I think we'll all acknowledge that.

But the guys out on the park? More than anything, this falls on them. Let's see how they react to the disappointment, because Citeh aren't travelling too well themselves atm.
