24-26... Tough years, nihilism leads to a really dark place. Wish you guys a good welcome to the 30s when you get there.

Still Pining for Wenger
I'm not very excited by the prospect of Arteta.
In my mind it's different to Pep and Zidane. Whereas those two were bonafide club legends and great players in their own right, what reason would this current lot have to respect Arteta, in terms of his achievements as a player?
Did he do any work with the young players while he was here?
Arteta better have some amazing tactical nous and man management skills to bring this lot on board.
I don't think its that far out of the realm of possibility that Arteta will have to work very hard to win over our group. Wenger wasn't respected when he first walked into the dressing room but he won everyone over. I think he met with every single player and soothed some of them with soft words and gave others pay rises.
It's hard to dislike someone when he went out of his way to get you more money!
Guardiola on the other hand, got rid of all the potential rabble-rousers at Barcelona and was quick to stamp out any dissent of his authority. Henry talked about a time he was subbed because he ignored Guardiola's instructions and went out of position.
Carrot vs the stick. I think this squad needs a bit of both.

For some odd reason my hatred for that joke of a club was waning. Now it’s kindled anew. £1million compensation. **** Citeh.
22/23/24 to 26/27 was easy as ****. Every day was contained in itself without consequences to the next - at least that's how I thought and lived. Been taught better than that, now. Although there seems to be a ton of fortune and luck and network involved how you get on after that. Before that you're a little prick and the tail end of 20s is a devil of itself. You only get to the dark ends of nihilism and pessimism by then. Clinging to the thought of it getting "better" the next decade.

"Seems" is the keyword here. If Torrent doesnt join us that guy will mention that he used that word.

Would be huge if we brought in Torrent, Alonso and Freddie alongside Mikel.
I can really see us doing well with Arteta, especially if he has good backroom staff and is backed in the transfer window.

Why were "all" Gooners so negative towards Luis Enrique 18-19 months ago? Enrique was in my opinion by far the best available candidate to replace Wenger, but according to most Arsenal fans he is a ****ty trainer who only won the tripple with Barcelona due to MSN. I think Arsenal losing out on Enrique in 2018 is the miss of a lifetime, and i dont think we will ever get a chance of hiring a manager of his calibre again.

Once again, a "news" article that makes a claim with no quotes and no attribution to sources. My readership was paltry in comparison to John Cross', but I would have been embarrassed to have written something like that.

If Arteta comes in, Bellerin will probably be captain.

In truth, great players becoming great managers are the exception rather than the rule. If a player doesn't respect a manager because that manager wasn't a great player, I don't want that player at Arsenal. They should respect Arteta or any other manager because of how they handle themselves as coaches, not based on a playing career. Arsène Wenger played briefly in the French 3rd division. Mourinho barely played at all.

Exactly, we don’t need Ramos like pussies here. He was doing a drama because Mourinho wasn’t a great player so he should not tell them how to play. Of any player in the world, Ramos is the one I hate most!

why do you persist in mentioning people we have not gone after, especially ones who do not speak English well enough, if at all, to meet our criterion? I don't get it

I just dont get this Arteta-hype, what has done which suggests he is qualified enough to become Arsenal manager? and why are no other clubs after Arteta if he is a tactical genius and the next big thing? it just doesn`t make sense to me.

Luis Enrique was apparently the board`s favourite to succeed Wenger in 2018, and they had several meetings with him. Enrique was also reported to be interested in the job and he said no to further negotiations with Chelsea (who also were after him at the time) since he prefered Arsenal over Chelsea. Pochettino couldn`t speak a single word of English when he took over Southampton.
Anyway, the board messing up the negotations with Enrique 18 months ago is the dumbest decision they have ever made.
