PEA has stopped talks with the club over his contract extension . that’s him gone soon then.

Madrid want to swap jovic for him be a shame but if he wants to go I take the young striker.
07 Dec 2019 11:06:21
Let him go bring on Martinelli and bring back Eddie from Leeds.
Let the egos go and replace with the enthusiastic endless effort filled players who want to be here.
Can we do worse than we are now?

I would always keep quality players and PEA is undoubtedly quality! No point in getting rid as when / if we get the quality manager we want he won’t have the best tools to do the job. Before the season started most on here were confident of top four - still the same players just a manager not capable of getting the best from them . Thought we only needed attitude improvement but now we need attitude and tactics COYG.

He's definitely quality Sussex mate but there is something very very wrong at Arsenal that our players can be so bad, it's all guess work from me and everyone else who doesn't have any day to day involvement at the club but I personally feel attitude mentality ego are a huge problem. Pepe warm up apparently was so lethargic and uninterested it took all those who saw it by surprise.
Bad management has almost certainly fed all the problems we have with our players but Emery has gone now yet the problems remain or a possibly even worse than ever now.

What a load of rubbish 62, he joined probably being told CL football is on the agenda he’s now in a free falling mid table team, nothing to do with ego, I don’t blame him for stopping negotiating. Arsenal owe him rather than him owing Arsenal, take his goals away we are bottom 3 .

No one is denying his abilty or contribution simply his and all other players mentality and egos.
The troops situation with Pea says an awful lot, the club say they don't want Troops in and around the players while Pea says you can't tell me who to hang out with.

Again nonsense it seems the ego is yours and it mirrors the club, we aren’t The Arsenal anymore we are a mid table London club with not enough to offer, it shows players have ambition but we don’t.

Love you Banbury :-)

We have one of the best players going forward, and I don't think we have a bad or mid table squad, the club damaged and crushed their confidence with keeping such a manager for that long. You can't really believe on paper and in their day our team is not better than Leicester or chelsea team, but here we look miles off.
And you seriously can't blame pea for the team failing or if decided to leave a club that is showing no ambition.
We rvp left we all hated him and some still do but look at the players left since 2010 for clubs with ambitions they all won thing.
62 mate, I pretty much agree with you with almost everything on here but not this one, you always talk about if the manager not delivering for his company they will sack him, now if you are an ambitious employer with some great talent but your company not ambitious enough and using your intelligence or talent and other company offered you a deal where you can achieve you dream, than what will you do?

A quality manager will get the best out of our players, who are clearly underperforming.
We have some quality players.
PEA and Lacazette are quality forwards. Martinelli is a superb young talent, as are Saka, Nelson and others. Torreira and Xhaka would be snapped up if placed on the market.
Bullerin and Tierney, a couple of quality full backs.
Leno is a decent keeper
Of course we need to move out and replace: Chambers, Mustafi, Sokratis and Ozil.
If we signed Smalling, a CB pairing of Smalling and Saliba next season would be a vast improvement.
09 Dec 2019 17:08:01
Don't think many would want xhaka.
09 Dec 2019 21:05:03
I would take being a mid table team at the moment Banbury, currently we’re stuck on 19 points, so I think relegation is starting to rear it's ugly head!
11 Dec 2019 08:10:15
Sorry Moe but apart from PEA/ Lacazette, no one from Arsenal would start for Chelsea and I’m not sure if any would make the bench.
