Merci Arsène

[rich 1990]

Iniesta first and now possibly Wenger, maybe Japan is the place to be? Might move there tbh.

Podolski first, tbf.

 

[Oh_Snap]

Podolski first, tbf.

actually watched some vissel kobe matches last season just because of the pod. quite weird tbh, he was easily the best player on the pitch everytime i watched. tells you a lot about the league tho. still, him and iniesta on the same team, gonna inject me some more of that vissel kobe stuff soon.

Arsène-san would get Japan up and running

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Old game.

The Japanese national team might be an interesting swan song given his history there but selfishly I'd much rather see him come over here and fix football in America.

Really hope he stays in Europe, missing his wit, bravado and style already.

Come on Arsène, Hodgson is older than you and still going strong!

I reckon he'd like Japan , very few bald carnts in Japan .

Think they’re set to appoint Hajime Moriyasu, who also isn’t follically challenged.

Eh? What does it matter whethere he works in or out of Europe. You can follow him in exacty the same way on social media and press regardeless of his geographic location.

But yeah, he doesnt seem like the kind of guy who would wind down at 68. National role or manager of a team in an "emerging" leauge whould suit him to a tee.

Maybe he just might decide to have a break. He's sure earned it.

Globalisation is almost there but the extent of output for Japanese football and social media stuff is still limited compared to European coverage.

Still don’t think he’ll end up in Japan though. Would like him to get a role on Sky instead of Souness.

Damn, here come the waterworks..

Arsenal fan Geraint Thomas fielded a surprise congratulatory call from former Gunner’s boss Arsène Wenger after winning the Tour De France. BBC

What a man!

 

[Slartibartfast]

I was messing around on the Google news archive and ran across this. Some of you may remember.

His biggest mistake was the Xhaka, Mustafi & Lucas transfer window.

I would love to live in the alternate universe where we sign Kante, a semi decent CB & Vardy.

Biggest mistake was the only Cech window.

But on the other hand, the transfer business has been an absolute **** show for a lot of windows. If you want to get frustrated, visit transfermarkt and look through Arsenal's windows through the years, look at what Arsenal bought for certain fees and then who else went for similar total fees.

I have to say, it does underline the impression that Arsenal "had" to sell their best assets to get funds to invest, and that most of the business was done to fill holes in the squad and replace players, but there is still **** like Ox, Gervinho, Santos, Park, Jenkinson and Campbell for a combined ~ 40m. For that combined fee and wages it would've been a lot more wise to go all in for Mata, who went for ~ 30m to Chelsea that window.

It would've made so much more sense to buy Arteta, Mertesacker, Mata and a Lichtsteiner-like signing for leftback than to spend 40m and wages on 5 or 6 garbage guys.

come over here and fix football in America.

He should fix Europe first. If I want one person at the top of FIFA, it's Arsène Wenger. But he's not a bureacrat, not an official, but too much of a manager and an honest man to ever be considered for such a job.

Too bad he's not eligible to become President of the United States.

You not alright with the Donald? Big Thumps up for fcking international relations to him. Fcking mongrel, that man.

 

[Tosker]

He could easily just have said they heard he was leaving, so presumably the players were actually told he'd been sacked
