Your Vision – The great man his revolutionary ways, and his faulty predictions
Arsene Wenger made logical predictions when Arsenal were on top to keep us there in the short and long term. Unfortunately things didn't work out how he predicted and we have gone six years without a trophy and the club needs to keep revenue up to compete this has hurt the fans in heart and pocket.Arsene gambled and lost but unlike roulette all is not lost, we still have a great training ground and Academy, Swanky stadium and an exciting young team that competes for trophies and is capable of beating Barcelona on their day. Financial fair play has screwed us over and we have had to play little penny pincher while we negotiate new commercial deals
Your Vision – What Arsenal should do this summer
Sell Nicklas Bendtner, Sebastien Squillaci and Manuel Almunia, as well as loaning out some youngsters such as JET, who will struggle to get games with van Persie, Chamakh, Gervinho and Vela about. Also Frimpong who I would like to see as backup for Song but with him being injured for so long, ne needs competitive games to improve and continue his development. Sending him out on loan to get regular first team football would be the smarter long- term thing to do with him in my opinion
Your Vision – Defeated by two set pieces and poor defending.
Instead of holding off for extra time, they went for the jugular. ‘The Pitbull’ Medel was sent off for a clumsy midfield tackle that earned him his second yellow. Then, with one of the few forays into the Chilean half, Venezuela were given another freekick. You can probably predict the rest. Poor goalkeeping, marking etc, ball drops to Venezuelan player and out of nowhere
Are We Negatively Affecting Our Own Transfers Through the Internet?
The cumulative effect of all this is that other teams will be very much on the lookout for deals we are interested in since they know they may well be able to outmuscle us financially and steal a real talent from under our noses. I cannot claim to know anything more than most of you but there has to be at least some chance that whoever bid for Joel Campbell did so only
Your Vision – Tick Tock….
What we absolutely need and what we've been needing for the past few years is a defensive mid that can rotate with Song and take over in january when song is at the african nations cup. I heard that Melo was left out of juventus' trip to the usa, which would indicate he might not be part of the new manager's plans for the coming season. He might be suspect of some irrational challenges, but thats exactly what we need & Wenger has shown interest in him before so I really feel that he would
Defensive errors vs Exciting defensive partnership + Young core impress
Moving away from the defence for a moment, a few of the selections were interesting. Carlos Vela for me is not a right sided player. He is what I call a straight lined player who is too predictable to play in wide positions. Players like Samir Nasri and Ryo Miyaichi can go either side, can shift their weight onto one foot and then push off onto the other side. I do not see Vela as a wide player, suits the central
