Amen. Ray why don’t you be the assistant manager as there’s too many “yes men” that hang around Wenger and thinks everything he does is right. Still, I don’t think Wenger will improve our defense, seeing as this is a most stubborn man in football you’re talking about.

SeattleGooner says:

Really hoping to get steve bould up to coach after pat rice leaves or maybe just bring Tony Adams himself, though I doubt he wants to give up managing. But who knows?

As for players, Cahill is a must to me, as well as a great goal Scorer up front. If I had to choose one, I’d pick Edinson Cavani of Napoli, who has torn the Serie A apart this year and would fit the mold perfectly.

Arnold says:

I know that Wenger is too stubborn to listen to advice.I agree with the thought of getting a better assistant but honestly we need to buy defenders first and then get an assistant thats defensive minded.I suggest he seriously looks at Christian Zapata,Per Mertesacker and Sakho as our options.You will agree with me that our problem has not been going forward but rather defending.Doesnt it suprise you how much wealth of attacking talent we have raised throug our youth and reserves but hardly any defensive talent.We seriously need to buy defenders right from a very early age.Wenger needs to “snap” them early as he does other areas.
I tell you if i were to have my choice the following would go:Bendtner,Diaby,Almunia,Denilson,Squillaci.
All in all a change of guard would be the best way for this club…..wait a minute lemme explain.
Mr Wenger has never changed from his philosophy of bringing in new talent but what irks many supporters is his aversion to buying already proven and experienced players.
I think we should hire Frank Rijkaard who not only knows about youth and also buys big.
I wish Stan Kronke brings in much needed guidance to a boardroom that drools at Wenger and his “philosophy”
All in all, we are tired of being nobodys…we have no nerves left to feel!

3 signings will do and knowing Wenger he will prefer doing things on the cheap. So i think nzogbia would do a job on the left for us plus hez quick and a flair player, move nasri to the middle with cesc. Cahill at the back will do and a striker that scores goals falcao or gameiro. Wenger should concentrate more on defensive training and tactics.

If i get to be appointed as arsenal maneger for next season and be provided with enough money i will go for everton fellain and sell diaby and denilson,then i will add expirience with the likes of schoenstiger the bayern munich middle,am telling u our problem is not deffenders or gollie,its deffensive football which is missing but these two players can attack and come to deffend when they play alongside wilshere who also can deffend our central deffenders will not have problems to deal with few attacks coz opponents will not have achance to reach our 18box,man u plus chealsea cenral deffenders get a lot of assistance from there midfield thus why they dont do silly mistakes,to me cosienly djorroue and verm are all world class they just miss assistance in deffending.for strikers sell bertiner and charmach and bring in falcao who can shoot and can head balls and he is powerfull too and bring in also a cheap dude from argentina i hope there many good strikers there who can do well in england,i dont watch there ligue but i hope they have good stikers club like liverplate and others.i know the players i have mentioned will cost a little but we will get some money from selling other players.i will spare ebue and rosicky coz they can help in carling cup during our busy fixtures.This will give chance cesc to go deep as he said it is favourite position so behind him will be wilshere and fellain on wings will be schonstiger and nasri and varnparse or falcao will be finishers.so i will go like this
szcseny
sagna cosienly verm clichy
schonstiger fellain wishere nasri
cesc
varnparse

sub;falcao walcot,asharvin song,gibbs frimprong djoroue ramsey,ebue argentine striker,rosicky,and fabianski.
no much changes stiger and fellain can cop with our passing game and can also add deffensive role in our game just like barca coz i dont see veeery good central deffender in barca but i just see veeeery good midfielders who can attack and deffend as a team,puyol and pique are not so good they just get required assistance from maestro xavi,iniesta,pedro and sometimes the magician messi,thus all.attack like a team and deffend like a team plus other phillosophy of passing game it termed as the best team in the world.if arsenal want to reach barca class it has to attack like ateam and defend like a team.

chris says:

Jagielka is better than Cahill! And then I read stuff about bringing in players like Taraabt, Hazard, Neymar….people just read stuff in the papers and then expect Arsenal to go out and buy them. What dribble. Alot of players that fans always say we must buy come from nonsense written in the papers. Half the players mentioned throughout the season cannot even be viewed regulalry on tv. So how can the papers or even some fans recommend them?

chris says:

” well said.”.. yes we are not perfect and have problems, players are messing up, wenger will fix these problems, but getting rid of him is not a solution and buying players purely on heresay is ridiculous. Support your team. That simple. We could be worse off and be Tottenham, even look at Liverpool, great history..struggling!!.

Jonah says:

There is no way we are going to buy a big name striker so just forget about that.

Gary Cahill
Scott Parker
Hulk

Those are the three we need to buy the only problem I have is fitting Walcott in seeing as him and Hulk are both RW.

I doubt we will get rid of Vela, probably get rid of Bendtner and Denilson I don’t see Squillaci leaving this soon unfortunately.

ITG says:

I worry that everyone is saying how good Cahill is – he was the “leader” of the Bolton defence which let in five against Stoke! Be careful, if he plays for Arsenal and they let in five he will be touted as the worst buy we have ever made.
One also needs to remember that an Arsenal team with Viera lost 6-1 to Manure at Old Trafford – they weren’t always great.
Replacing Cesc and Samir would be really difficult – most of the players mentioned are really not in the same class and Wilshire has been really poor in the last few games although he always tries hard.
We do need new players and we need to still develop – teams that buy only tend not to get great teams. The British tax system makes this country unattractive to really good foreigners as not only do teams in Spain and Germany pay well they get to keep a lot more of it.
Whatever players we get will take some time to develop as the style of football is different from all other sides and the EPL is physically more demanding than others.
It is going to be a very difficult problem for management and I wish them well. If they change too much next year we will be out of the winners enclosure before Christmas – if not we have the same problem as this year – a very fine balance methinks.

jason says:

AW isnt going to get Cahill he has someone in mind im sure but who knows who exactly.

Since when has AW ever got players who have been recommended by people.
