It's great to be better than the when you're winning titles and trophies, but when you're not...

I'd rather have somebody who was striving his hardest to win than somebody coasting, I'd take the extra baggage of Mourinho to see the team revamped and actually challenging.”

Well I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. I think we are better than that. The reputation of the club is far more important than speculating on a brief period of success with a nasty piece of work like Mourinho.

I agree, as you say, sticking with Wenger effectively means the club has no ambition whatsoever.

When Wenger finally does depart our club, I fully expect them to bring in another manager like him, a yes man.

Do managers challenge their board?

Surely they get told what to expect when they are given a contract.

Seven possible candidates to replace Wenger:

For me, as an outsider, it seems like Wenger has been in situ too long. The board will never go against him and he's surrounded by yes men.

Those who want Wenger to stay are effectively settling for winning nothing and finishing top four every year.

Wenger's achievements have been remarkable, but given the managerial changes going on at the moment, Arsenal risk being left behind.

When things are going well at Arsenal they can look like world beaters, but when heads drop, and things are going badly, they're as inconsistent.

Between Cech and Ospina you have two reliable solid goalkeepers.

Koscileny and Mertesacker on their day are probably one of the best centre back pairings in the league.

Not sure about the options after them..

Bellerin/Chambers aside, I find your full back options underwhelming. Monreal goes through spells where he looks like the left back he always should have been, but at other times, he looks ordinary.

The midfield is very lightweight. The team should be built around Ozil, Sanchez and Cazorla.

Giroud again, goes from being unplayable to looking like a league one striker.

For me Arsenal need some new full backs, a centre defender, two centre midfielders, in the Vidal/Pogba mould and a new striker.

A new manager wouldn't go amiss either.

The likes of Koeman would keep the football style similar, but would surely add some more resiliency?

It's as though Kroenke and Usmanov know Wenger is the best manager to line their pockets and winning trophies is secondary.

Sad state of affairs.

Piers on Twitter says Wenger has been offered a new 3 yr deal.

Don't know what to make of it. Someone leaking information out to undermine Wenger's position? He didn't take it well the last time this happened.

Would he have the audacity to even sign it? Just sick of the same old guff every season, he must leave in May when Leicester win the title. The whole team are bottlers and just thinking about it makes me mad.

Don't know much about him TBH, is he really worth £34m?

He seems like a decent player, reminds me of Jack Wilshere a bit, although is less injury prone of course. He'd be worth it I'm sure.

Regular as clockwork every year.
Couple of weeks after we **** up another season comes the first news of all the multi million pound signings we're going to make next year.

Meh until a more reliable source than Morgan says it, would take it with a pinch of salt.

Well at least Sky sports broke it not some paper. So i guess it has some truth. Not sure how good he is though.

AW has no doubt he will be managing AFC next season and believes his best is good enough for the club.

He is basically saying he will do what his employers pay him for. They set him targets and he meets them best he can.

Wether he will be here next season is a different issue. No way would he come out and say what the public wants him to say.
