Throw cash at Tuchel ,sell all these and let him build his own team imo

by RealGunner Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:28 pm

Still rather Allegri tbh

Rather 1-0 to 4th place than 5-4

by urbaNRoots Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:32 pm

Basically don't care who leaves, so long as Wenger goes too. Let's collect the transfer fee's and have a new beginning.

by RealGunner Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:34 pm

Yea agreed. Apart from Koscielny and Ramsey, I have no attachment to anyone anymore.

by Eman Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:38 am

I'd be upset with a Tuchel appointment personally. He has won 0 trophies in his career and his Dortmund team has 43 points from 23 games this season. To put that into perspective: we have played 3 more games and have 7 more points in what has been a disastrous season.

I know we just want someone new but I am not convinced that Tuchel would improve us at all. I'd much rather appoint a winner than risk taking the 'grass is greener' approach and going with someone else based purely on their current club's name.

Simeone and Allegri are the only managers that we're being linked to who are acceptable appointments for me.

Just for laughs, here's a Daily Star speculation on Allegri's XI at Arsenal

Donnarumma
Mustafi - Chiellini - Koscielny
Bellerin - Ramsey - Xhaka - Wilshere - Alex Sandro
Morata - Welbeck

by Hapless_Hans Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:27 pm

Donnarumma rofl

by rincon Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:51 pm

Wow, what is the Daily Star?

Donnarumma, Chiellini, Alex Sandro rofl

and Allegri doesn't even like the 3-5-2.

by urbaNRoots Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:53 pm

Worst offense is Morata - Welbeck frontline, combining a total of 10 goals together in a season.

by RealGunner Thu Mar 09, 2017 11:11 pm

Is Joe Hart good enough for us?

by Sina Fri Mar 10, 2017 1:29 am

nope get someone who is good with the ball

by RealGunner Fri Mar 10, 2017 2:01 am

Hmm Yea i think so too

Wonder who though.

by rincon Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:36 am

Szczesny?

He is finally looking good and he is already yours.

by Hapless_Hans Fri Mar 10, 2017 2:02 pm

Ospina is better than Szczesny

by Chumlum Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:13 pm

When Alexis goes, who (if anyone) do you think the club might target as a replacement?

Hard to project what will happen since we don't know Wenger's future or possible replacements. But I suspect we'll see more Yannick Ferreira Carrasco stories over the summer months.

by urbaNRoots Fri Mar 10, 2017 3:25 pm

I think we will have higher priorities in the summer than signing a new GK. Not that I wouldn't like signing an Oblak, but Cech and Szczesny are fine imo. Apparently Szczesny has improved a lot in his loan spell so he'll be like a new signing (:

That is if he even wants to return, if he doesn't-- then I'd rather sign a homegrown GK so we can let Gibbs and Wilshere or Ramsey go without messing up with the homegrown quota.

Alexis... that's a hard one. We're more than likely to downgrade in this position. I wouldn't be opposed to Lacazette or Lukaku. Cheeky bid for Kun Aguero wouldn't be the worst idea if City go for Aubameyang. If not then giving it a try for Aubameyang wouldn't hurt considering it is unlikely someone else will be in for him. Expect a huge transfer fee though, Dortmund won't sell so easily.

by El Gunner Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:54 pm

If Allegri comes, Dybala perhaps? hmm

by Sina Fri Mar 10, 2017 6:33 pm

not sure who is realistic
in terms of like for like replacement Insigne would my choice+ then a cf like Morata or lukaku
Not sure if we can get them though

if we dont get CL then welcome Watmore
+Welbeck up front lulz

by MJ Sat Mar 11, 2017 12:40 am

We've seen Insigne rumors. Mertens has also had an amazing season as a CF for Napoli, not that we've been linked.

Also wouldn't mind going for Lukaku or Lacazette. But then we have Welbeck, Giroud, Perez and a new CF. I'm kind of assuming Perez is leaving unless something drastic changes with his playing time.

Dybala or Griezmann are unattainable dream targets.

if Dortmund Get him while we still have Coquelin at CM :brickwall:

by RealGunner Mon Mar 13, 2017 5:51 pm

He isn't that good tbh. Tired of lightweight midfielders who get shrugged off by 20mph wind.

What we need is a midfielder who voted for brexit and can take a pint or two before the match.

by RealGunner Mon Mar 13, 2017 8:20 pm

Arsenal scouts at the Benfica game. Wonder who are they scouting?
