Arsenal as a whole! by S O’H
So now we have had our AGM meeting at Arsenal about a few topics that needed addressed but did we get proper answers to our transfers in the summer and Conman Stan’s 3m payment? I dont think so! Their answer was we have spent when it’s been needed and changed the whole team over the last few years. I do agree we have brought in quite a bit over the last 3 summers (summer when Santi came) but what did we do in the summer bar Cech (10.9m) when we had all that money? Even one outfield signing? Proper answers still needed to fans paying over the top!
Stan’s payment of 3m was the same answer as last year so, in my opinion, get that man out of Arsenal whatever jobs his company does, we don’t need him here at Arsenal FC. Ticket prices need to come down and wasnt it just last year he wanted to put prices up by 8% but was convinced to do a 3% increase instead by Ivan? Who as well, imo, needs to go! Get Dein back! Again, money that could be used to bring prices down for fans who maybe can’t afford to watch Arsenal, as I know I’m not loaded and cant really afford it, as its too expensive to travel from Ireland every home game!
On to more brighter and important business as to what happens on the pitch! We have started to kick into the next gear in the league and our players are more confident than I’ve seen in a long time!
Its great to see the hunger from the players especially our new rock Gabriel Paulista… this guy, plus Alexis, from their backgrounds and passion are showing our Gooners how to put everything on the line every game…look at Mesut now; who has covered more ground than anyone this season so far and playing fantastic all round at the moment. Bellerin has created the most clear cut chances in the top 5 leagues in Europe. Cech is going to break the clean sheet record at Arsenal very soon, and his influence on our back 4 from the shocker at West Ham has been absolutely fantastic. If it wasn’t for him, Man United (via Martial) would’ve been back in the game no doubt! Coq has been a revelation. Monreal/Boss up there now in top LB/CB in England, and our li’l magician Santi has been nothing but spectacular since the day he signed – and with age is getting better! Adapting to the Deep Lying Playmaker role is not an easy job. Walcott – I wont say too much yet – but this could be his season and looks like could be a handful for certain teams.
As you can read, in my opinion we have a great first XI capable of winning the Premier League this season, as long as we stay injury free and take advantage of other teams bad form or injuries to big stars… It is usually the other way around when it comes to bad luck and Arsenal.
Thank God the International break is over and Arsenal stars have came home unharmed and kept their good form up. Oh lastly, Real Madrid keep your dirty tapping up tactics for another mug club. You will be getting nothing from us… just ask Alexis. Face with tears of joy New contract please!!
