Comments on: Has Arsene Survived For Too Long? https://www.sportsbettingday.com/2012/12/has-arsene-survived-for-too-long/ Wed, 19 Dec 2012 17:55:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 By: Daryl Savage https://www.sportsbettingday.com/2012/12/has-arsene-survived-for-too-long/#comment-996 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 17:55:06 +0000 http://www.sportsbettingday.com/?p=2472#comment-996 Johnny, thank you for your response. Yes, Arshavin did have a brief spell of playing well but he never matched up to the hype surrounding him and now he is rotting on the bench. Giroud is a plan B but he’s not a very good one. Arsenal need better strikers than him. If by plan B, you mean someone to hoof the ball up to, then there are many better players. The fact that Arsenal are being linked with Ba and Huntelaar suggests that maybe Giroud isn’t quite fulfilling his role as the target man.
Yes, Wilshere and Gibbs are both good but as you said, they weren’t signed so why would I mention them?
I mentioned Jenkinson as he is good but nothing amazing just yet. That’s why I didn’t put him in bold. He may have the potential but for a team that has ambitions to try and win the league, I’m not sure whether Jenkinson is quite good enough at this moment in time.
I highlighted Cazorla, Chamberlain and Arteta in my article so yes, I acknowledged that they are good signings. However, the point is that there’s only 5 out of 23 that are great signings.
Did anyone else find another Cesc or Henry? Well that’s a difficult question. Think of great players that have come to the Premier League for cheap prices. Why didn’t Wenger find them? Vidic, Rafael, Kompany, Kyle Walker, Ben Arfa, Dembele, Michu, Cabaye, Tiote, Benteke, Hernandez, Ba – all great players that have arrived in the Premier League for very cheap.
For your last point, no, this isn’t an article to simply attack Wenger. I am a huge fan of his but I think he should have left before now. He should have left on his own terms but now he’s in danger of that being taken away from him.

He didn’t have only one good game, he got plenty. Remember his goal against Barcelona for instance, his 17 assists when everybody said he was playing badly. Also, Giroud=money wasted??? I sincerely doubt it. The guy scores and he’s our plan B.
The only strange signings are Gervinho, who, btw, did look pretty good in France and Santos, who at the moment doesn’t seem to find his feet, but he’s not as bad as everybody says. Just that Gibbs is better than him.
And you seem to conveniently forget Jack Wilshere, Gibbs and Jenks. Yes we didn’t buy Jack or Kieran, they’re Arsenal’s promoted by Weneger.
Also AOC, Arteta and Santi look like good signings to me. AW didn’t find another Cesc or Henry but, did anybody else find them?
Seems just like another article written just to be written and, ofc, with the purpose to say something bad about Wenger.

Wenger will get a decent transfer kitty in January and he will turn things around

Kind of disagree here. Selling Rvp was a mistake Yes, but Podolski is as big a name as the dutchman but is unable to find any fit between podolski giroud and cazorla. He and Arsenal have been clueless mostly. Still no one will bite the dust, if Arsenal somehow do end up in top 4 again. Wenger will stay

They are always appreciated. Yes that is my point, the board will not sack him now as it would be disrespectful due to all he has done in the past. Wenger, himself will have to leave but he wants to end on a positive note which is unlikely to happen soon. His transfer dealings are too inefficient and for every good player he signs, he signs three bad players.
