Life after Wenger | Ornstein: Arsenal set to appoint Unai Emery

[Artisan]

Why is Grimaldi not sacked yet ?

Blows my mind that people are sticking with this beating on Grimaldi meme. When you consider the amount of trash we wasted almost 300mil on buying, Grimaldi turns out to be the club's best scout..

 

[Gunners4life]

Zero chance anymore. No manager gets a minimum of anything.

Goes tits up they gone.

I disagree with that, imagine untied sacked Ferguson because he was crap at the start...

If Arteta is appointed, he'll be under tremendous pressure. If there's no improvement in 1 year he's out. Wenger was given a lot of time, because of his contribution to Arsenal. Arteta won't be treated with as much patience. In fact if we do really bad I think he'll get sacked by Christmas.

You could also say the same about not sacking all the many **** managers that are sacked. Bad manager can destroy a club.

Who is Grimaldi?

Who is Grimaldi?

Grimandi's evil clone.

Why is the plug reliable anyways?

His dad has known Gavin Dein, son of David for over three decades. That's the connection. Whether he's a bullshit merchant or not, he does have a connection through his dad. Of course, Gavin Dein could also be a serial wind up merchant as well who just invents stories but the link is worth recognising imo.

Le Grove wrote an article saying that fans are rallying behind Arteta. Seen no evidence of that. Weirdo.

Legrove is Ivan's puppet.

Why oh why would anyone ever read Le Grove?

I don't but for some reason I do follow on Twitter. I can't help it, it's so curious.

 

[samshere]

There should be a fan protest before Arteta comes. Its a pity that there aren't any matches being played now, so that there's really no effective way for conveying the fan opinion. Guess we could do twitter protests or something.

Arteta will improve our possession and pressing, that's for sure. Not that that's hard to do. Will be nice seeing subs before the 70 min mark as well. Also, if we're winning a game by a small margin, I doubt he'll take off attackers and replace them with full backs to try and hold on.

Pep had been away for 7 years. I think Pujol and Xavi were the only ones left by that time and he was much farther removed from being their former teammate than Arteta.

Puyol and Xavi pretty big stars...if Guardiola could manage them, then I guess Özil, Ramsey can be risked with Arteta. He was their captain anyway for a bit.

I'm getting excited about a change in manager Arteta or not. The start of a new era is upon us and we need to get behind the new manager. I reckon Arteta will be better than many expect.

When Arteta made his final appearance for us, I remember Alexis very deliberately seeking him out to pass to him in front of goal, instead of taking what would have been an easy shot himself

Alexis is not known for unselfish gestures, or making friends, so that spoke to me of a genuine respect and comradeship for Mikel

hopefully others in the team will feel the same

Fairly sure a lot of the players spoke very highly about Arteta. I don't think he'd have a problem gaining the respect of the squad. They are all professional.

 

[TriniGunner]

Mikel Arteta in 2014

“I want the football to be expressive, entertaining. I cannot have a concept of football where everything is based on the opposition.

“We have to dictate the game, we have to be the ones taking the initiative, and we have to entertain the people coming to watch us. I’m 100 per cent convinced of those things, and I think I could do it.

“You can have an idea of a system, but you need to be able to transform it depending on the players you have – how much pace you have up front, how technical your team is, what types of risk you can take and whether your players are ready to take those risks.
......“I will have everyone 120 per cent committed. That’s the first thing. If not, you don’t play for me.

That part in bold means he's nothing like Wenger.

They really make me angry sometimes I force myself to watch but 90% of them got no idea how football works

At least they've got that in common with our chief executive and club owners.

 

[Kash]

27% here support Arteta and Arteta alone. Undeniable proof.

We must form AIB ...Arteta Is Best ... a smaller minority were able to create the illusion that majority wanted Wenger out, so surely 27% (and rising) can ensure that we have a shot at our own Baldiola, Simeone or Zidane.
