The End is Nigh

I for one have lost total confidence in the clubs captain, it is well documented in his statements this summer, and last summer, what is worrying is he doesn't learn and keep his mouth shut.

He talks about feeling liberated with the Spanish squad, and about the Arsenal dressing room being disjointed, why air the weakness' in public, especially if you are the captain?

How can we have confidence in him to put 100% in every game? He talks about some players being weak and not good enough, as if he played like Xavi and Iniesta last season? He talks about wanting to win trophies, yet in the crunch games he failed to perform. He talks about emulating Ronaldo, but Ronaldo performed miracles even when those around him were not as good, did our captain do this?

This is his last season, and if we know that, why not let him go now and give Nasri his spot, Nasri is the future of this team in central midfield. Gazidis should call Perez and ask for €50m for him. And just to think Gallas, a better captain in my view, is still hated yet he never talked about leaving the club and was devoted 200% to being a winning captain.

Arsenal Rehab...NO, NO, NO.

Stop lying to us, if you want to leave, just say it and pack your bags with your mouths shut. First the captain, a few days ago he waxed lyrical about if Guardiola called him, he'd leave without thinking, only for him to say today that he never said that and he wants to stay.

What does he take us for, and he added the extra insult of “Coming over with the national team has been total liberation for me.

“I feel happy to be able to be playing in the Confederations Cup with this top-quality team.” And this is supposed to be the Arsenal captain?

Next is Bacary Sagna, a player who had a solid debut season, only to follow that up with a season where his crossing success rate as high as Kolo Toure's wild free kicks, he hears that Perez wants him for the Madrid project and he is not against it, only for him to deny it moments later, what does he think this is? Gael Clichy is the only player of honour, he was linked with Madrid and he instantly said no.

Then again how can we blame the players when even the coach admits he may want to go there in public?.

If they really wanted to stay, why can't they keep their mouths shut like Eduardo-Almunia-Walcott-Nasri-Rosicky who we have not heard this summer? They don't allow speculation, Clichy showed how to handle it by saying NO. Those that want to leave, please save us the time and lies, GET OUT NOW, you can be replaced, bigger and better players have left before you and Arsenal FC are still here, we won't allow you to hold this prestigious club to ransom.

Premier League Clean Up!

Ronaldo Officially removed..

Alonso and Drogba next.

Yeah what a great gift for Arsenal, two of the most important players in the league are leaving, i'm already hearing critics say this only proves the poor condition English football is in, but you know what, its just a blessing!!. No it's time for some fresh blood, room for new stars, and new times.

to sum it up: Ronaldo out, Vermaelen in!, cheers

Two Weeks To Build For The Title.

There are two weeks to go until the transfer window opens, and possibly one signing may arrive before the window opens. This is a step in the right direction, but considering we are likely to buy a player from abroad, they need at least 1 month to sort their personal lives out, so signings must be closed in now, it is nearly 1 month away from our first pre-season friendly, we return to training a week before this match. Gazidis and Wenger, sort the ins and outs ASAP so we know the team before pre-season, other clubs in Germany-Italy-Spain have already done the bulk of their improvements, we need a lot of improvements.

However the main idea i have, can Arsenal win the title? Statistically, in the last 3 seasons, the minimum threshold for the title is 27 wins, Manchester United have had 28 wins in two of the three. In that same time, Arsenal have had 19-24-20 wins, this shows there is still a lot of room for improvement. To achieve those 27 wins, we may need to beat all the teams 10-20 in the table twice to get 20, and then beat teams 7-9 twice and maybe 1 win against the other rivals to make the 28 wins.

Even then, that may not be enough. We draw far too many games as well, 11-11-12 draws in the last 3 seasons. When you look at Arsenal's chances of being domestic champions using these figures, you can see it is a big ask and improbable. Even if we buy 3-4 more players, i am not sure we have the cutting edge and stamina to last a 38 gruelling campaign.
