Wenger plots Arsenal bids for Arteta and M’Vila

Arsene Wenger is said to be mulling over a move for Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta as a replacement replacement for Cesc Fabregas, reports suggest this morning.

While you’re at it, Arsene, snap up Phil Jagielka and Marianne Fellaini from the Toffees as well. But, seriously, I have been saying this for weeks: He. Won’t. Sign. Anyone. Ever. Again.

Meanwhile, the Mail claims AW remained defiant after Arsenal’s 2-0 home defeat by Liverpool as “he faced up to the most challenging week in his 15-year reign at the club”. The paper says we are likely to sell Samir Nasri, who played at the Emirates, to Manchester City for £22million but have made a £15m bid for Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila.

The Mirror quotes him as saying:  “There is no chance of me walking away. I won’t quit and I have never considered quitting. My only interest is to work harder to make the right decisions for the club.

“People have to trust me. ­Unfortunately we are living in circumstances where every defeat is an absolute disgrace and an earthquake. I always feel under ­pressure, but I don’t feel under pressure any more than I normally do.”

      Yes they are. With the number of unavailable players we have, literally any footballer is better than no footballer. We only have like 4 recognised  midfielders in total! We’re down to the bare bones BEFORE we even get any injuries

    I cant believe the way people are slating Arsene Wenger the way they are. If we have one bad season in the 15 years hes been here then so be it, the problem is Fabregas should have gone last year and we could have coped better but all the boos and jeers at the players and Arsene himself is just crazy this will just make things worst. We will bounce back and will come back stronger than ever just get on the teams side and watch us get better and stronger. We have been spoilt with top 4 every season and now we have to rebuild cant peple see that Liverpool went through it due to owners now we are going through it due to players moving on. Just be a bit more patient and things will get better.

      It hasn’t been one bad season in 15 its been I would say, about 4 or 5. I will exclude 05/06 because we got to the CL final even though we only just scraped 4th place on the last day of the season.

      But how long can wenger rely on his record of the first 8 years at arsenal where he had success? Its already been 6 years without any. another couple of seasons (and if we win anything this year then i’ll be shocked) and he will have gone for half his arsenal career without a trophy. Is the success of those glorious 8 years enough to allow him 8 years of failure?

    last few weeks i hate these guy, turn out these week i don’t  know how to describe my feeling pity maybe…i just hope he able to snap up a few quality player before the transfer ends…guys lets back him down, he is the crazy professor i have ever seen, for sure he knows what he was doing there. I think kenny didn’t go all out yesterday with the player he have, Liverpool would be running riot, maybe he pity us???nice to see there is a fighter in the club now, and the pouring rain make the game look very nostalgic in year to come…..”The cry of wenger match” hahahaha

        @d740af819fa29421d6c76a976ed8862b:disqus  – interesting name! anyway are you sure that its gazidis and kroenke that are in charge? I think the main problem is that they have left too much of the power to Wenger and Gazidis is the yes man.

        They are so scared to lose him and then be forced into making a decision on a new manager that they have left the club completely in his control and look at what has happened…

        Its going to be a long season my friend.

      lol. don’t mean to mock mate but 41 signitures? How long has the petition been going? And 1 person signed it twice without bothering to use a different name, one person is rather suspiciously called ‘Arsene’ and another person wrote “please spend some money, I’m fed up of not challenging for the title anymore”!

      Benitez spent something like £200 million in about 3 or 4 seasons! With that kind of investment you would hope they would win something. Also I seem to remember them getting quite lucky with who they played against in that champions league run but I could be wrong

    Ive.     I believe in Wenger . Yes I am frustrated but at the very least wait until the window close . There will be some signing, in the meantime if we cant support the team we should give our ticket to some one who will . Imagine if was listening to the moan ,  take a leaf out of Liverpool`s book support your team through thick and thin !!!!!!!

      By the time the window closes we could be out of the champions league, and have 1 point from a possible 9 in the league and effectively be out of the title race after 3 games.

      Not that any Arsenal fans were expecting us to win the league but by not acting now (ie get somebody to play against Udinese) we are making it so much more difficult for ourselves if we are to finish in the top 4 which is probably the most realistic thing we can hope for this season.

      The interest comes from the everton chairman stating there in a bad situation with debtand that they might have to sell he also said they cant buy a player unless they sell. . . so Arsenal sittin with 40m+ should consider taking advantage!! yes Baines would be a great signing!! as would jagielka and imo, Arteta

    I can’t believe that people still have this blind faith & trust in Wenger.

    At times he looked like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders yesterday.
    Did i feel sorry for him? not in the slightest!
    He has created his own problems with his stubborn, arrogant stance with regard to the transfer market.

    We have the money, spend some FFS!!
    Three quality, experienced players is all we need & they are out there & available !!!
    Stop making pathetic excuses & go sign them before it’s to late!!!

    Be careful what you wish for, what manager would you want when the new rules come in, someone who mindlessly spends or a prudent intelligent man who identifies enhancements to a good squad. The problem is that these so called supporters have the same expectations as plastic Man U fans now, money and trophies at whatever cost, guaranteed they won’t be fans if we are mid table. Talk to West Ham fans and then shout for Wenger’s head…

      MARK the rules coming in wont change anything,  The money Arsenal generate is what they can spend??????  it couldn’t be more simple! wenger is a great manager but if he used Arsenal’s natural resources he and the team would be even better…  and the same goes for the next manager, for example if guardiola, redknapp, moyes, oneill,  was in charge of Arsenal and had around 35m a season to spend ( which is within are natural resources ) do you think they would hold back? ? ? ? ? ?   THE ARSENAL FANS ARE NOT ASKING FOR MUCH M8 JUST SPEND WHAT WE HAVE TO HELP THE TEAM………

    Wenger is back to doddering again, he knows the players he wants but can’t help himself for wanting to shuffle around in the bargain bucket first. He may soon hear the players he knows could make all the difference go elsewhere and have to settle for second rate players not fit for purpose, then try to convince his supporters they are quality, as they occupy a spot on the seat behind him.

    Once Arsene start doing what is right for this club and the squad, he will win my support. His personal principles is strangling this Club!

    I’ve been saying is for a year now Arteta is an ideal replacement for Cesc. But Im afraid it will never happen. Everton will not sell him and jags this week. Just not enough time for them to find replacements.

    We are screwed there just isnt enough time to buy required players and selling clubs to find replacements. Plus cheapo Wenger will go in cheap and the bid will be knocked back and the transfer window will slam shut and we will be f*cked! We need Wenger to go in with bids to good to turn down, but thats dream land and will never happen!! :(

    some of you guys are a disgrace.
    if it wasn’t for Wenger Arsenal wouldn’t be where it is. star players would never have come to Arsenal and they wouldn’t be considered one of Europe’s elite.
    all teams have a rough patch….and i’m ashamed to be associated with you fucking turncoats. go cheer for the other team in North London because by the sound of your whining it seems like they’ve been more successful than The Arsenal.

    What fucking coach can honestly do what Wenger has done for this team? and dont you dare drop names like SAF or Mourinho and their likes….their teams are all in fucking debt for spending like morons….and were held to ransom by their own franchise players.

    stop ragging on this team and get behind them….Nasri will leave because of douche bags like you who call him a cunt….and Wenger at one point will get tired of this shit and leave as well with all this negative attitude from the fans. then what are you left with?

    if you dont want to support..stop. turn the channel..go watch one of the other london teams. but dont fucking bring this shit about sacking Wenger.
