Arsene Asks For Trust

fukk u wenger and act. just shut up and show us your world class signings. all mean business. we will be out of top 4 if you dont buy big!!!

Wouldn’t Wenger be better off saying he’ll try and EARN the fan’s trust again, such as by addressing the problems that have been there for years, rather than simply asking for it at the end of a disastrous season?

I suppose it’s of a piece with saying the players ‘deserve’ success, not that they have to earn it. That’s Arsene’s value system – entitlement.

Haha what a load of bollocks. It is only because of people like you who feel we are “entitled” to silverwear that Wenger apparently has to “earn” our trust in the first place. He earned my trust a long time ago by creating one of the greatest teams in footballing history from scratch. He continues to earn my trust by keeping Arsenal competitive among teams with disposable incomes. He also continues to earn my trust by instilling the finest football in the world, bar perhaps one club, into Arsenal football club. What Arsene has achieved in the last SIX YEARS with the money he has spent is nothing short of remarkable. Yes this team has fallen short and they have their deficiencies but now he is looking to spend to make that final push into greatness. In Wenger I trust. Shame on the “supporters” who choose not to get behind the most successful manager in our history.

NO NO NO NO More? Bye Bye

Joel, what you seem to miss is that he has achieved a lot before the last 6 years and not now. You just cant charge fans the highest ticket prices in the land (and increasing) and not expect those paying to just accept it. Only a few ignorant people want him to do a Man City, the majority of us just want him to spend what is needed and fizx the problems rather than signing cheap players that don’t make the grade.

Mike Harvey go and learn football before you talk

Firstly thank you for a calm and considered response which is unusual for the anti-Wenger brigade. The point that I was making is that he HAS achieved 6 great things in the last 6 years. In the last 6 years we have seen Chelsea and City spend hundreds of millions on their team, yet Arsenal have still managed to stay competitive, all the while playing the beautiful game how it should be played. Fergie has done amazingly at United, which has perhaps put unfair pressure on Wenger. I think it is unfair to say Wenger only signs “cheap players that don’t make the grade”. Yes, he looks for bargains, but surely that’s a positive when managers are paying 50 mil for strikers that can’t score or 35 mil for players who have been in top flight football for 6 months. Vermalaen, Sagna, Cesc, Nasri, Wilshere, Song, Van Persie..I could go on. They were all “cheap” but do they not make the grade? Wenger has said he will “spend what is needed” so I really can’t see your problem with him.

Trust me! said the lead Lemming as he led them off the CLIFF!

Trust is EARNED and AW has lost it. Why should we think next time will be better?? History doesnt lie. 6 years of nada.

Hes still talking about defensice weakneaa like its a new problem! Thats why we bought verminator, Kos, Squish-elny.
You failed to fix it now get OUT of the WAY!!

WENGER is our RAFA

Wenger is the problem, the rot starts at the top. He could buy Messi and it would hardly matter because he can no limger organize, train, inspire and lead a winnimg team.

Take Liverpool under Benitez last 5 years won nada, do you think buying a couple of players would make a difference? Benitez lost his edge. It was a world class team led by a donkey.

Wenger is now our benitez. Get rid of him.

My pub team has a better defense and I bet we do more drills.

Are you reading directly from a fax sent to you by Wenger himself? It’s word for word, unquestioning, the corporate line.

Finest football in the world? That tippy tappy stuff? Your response is what’s bollocks. Try thinking for yourself.

I support Arsenal, not Arsene. He’s had long enough, he had his great era, now his time should be up.

Regardless of what I or any of the fans want, Arsene Wenger is not going to get sacked so during the Summer you all have to decide whether you are going to support the team with wenger in charge or not support the team at all because those are the only two choices. Really this debate should start to move on to what Wenger could do to improve because basically, calling for him to be sacked is a waste of time because it isn’t going to happen.

I think the best signing we could make this summer would be the re-introduction of David Dein to the boardroom. In my opinion his wise counsel and general enthusiasm for the Club has been sadly missed. The most successful Wenger Years were with Dein at his side. He is a vastly experienced shrewd negotiator and most important of all he has Arsenal blood flowing through his veins.

You think its so simple to just go out and buy established players????

Number one we are one of very few clubs in the world that run responsibly without foreign owners pumping money in to cover costs we cannot afford to repay.

Number 2 we must compete with other clubs for that signature for an experienced player, only they have open cheque books. Not a level playing field!

And number three the player must be one that fits into the team. (the way we play and team dynamics)

Did you want Wenger to have outbidded chelsea for Torrez for 50m pounds, or liverpool for Carrol for 35m or 80m for Ronaldo??? That kind of money is totally irresponsible! Thats what he is up against, finding balance with what he can afford to improve.

Arsene wont buy a player that he assesses as either too expensive and or unlikely to fit our style, culture, team dynamics and nor should he!!

Where we need to spend is buy better medical staff, so we diagnose and treat players in much less time that our current medical team does.

50% of football won is determined by what is above the shoulders rather than below. Perhaps we need a better group of motivational experts!!! (Viera, Bergkamp and maybe Adams)

Saying all of this if the stars line up well in the summer hopefully Wenger buys an experienced quality CB (Samba, Cahill), a defensive midfielder and a proven striker (Benzema).

@Angelo1971….Go and read your message again, out loud, and rethink who’s the idiot!!!

Which 10-20 million pound available player that wasn’t asking for ridiculous wage demands, that wanted to come to London did Arsene NOT try and get?

No one knows other than a few people, so cut the guy some slack Angelo. Arsenal can’t make an offer that prospective players just cannot refuse (ala Real-Ronaldo 80m and heaps in wages) so there cannot be any gaurantees of getting a player even if you chase them hard.
