sne Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 German papers are reporting that Thomas Tuchel has turned down Bayern to take over at Arsenal. Not certain when thou as Wenger has a contract over next season. Would be a very exciting appointment for them and pretty logical as they have signed loads of players from the Bundesliga in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancellotti or Enrique would be good aquisitions but I think Tuchel trumps both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Lost to Newcastle. Burnley now are 2 points behind them for 6th. Arsenal also have to focus on Europa league. They have a chance at getting kicked out of the Europa league, and not even qualifying for anything next season. The Burnley Arsenal match in a few weeks will be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Isn't 7th good enough for europa with who's left in the FA cup? Arsenal's away form has been shocking all season. 3 away wins all season and they've lost every away game in 2018 so far in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Regardless of who they get they will be poor IMO unless there's an outrageous level of investment. They practically need an entire new defence, a new goalkeeper and at least half a new midfield, as they are diabolical in the centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 20, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2018 Well overdue. There will be a transition period but they'll be much better off with a new man in charge imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) As above it's well, well overdue. It will be interesting to see if they start spending more money now as the (very well placed) rumours were that they have a large transfer warchest but Wenger wouldn't spend it. I guess it's already started with Aubameyang, no way was that a Wenger signing. Edited April 20, 2018 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I worry for the man's well being now. I read an interview with him once and this job is life. A job he hasn't done very for year though I suppose. Hope he gets a good send off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It's got to be Simone hasn't it? He's great at organising defence. They've already got good strikers. I think he's taken Athletico as far as he can, he probably needs a new challenge - Arsenal have money and I'd trust him to spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be a great fit for them but he's the complete antithesis of the approach Arsenal seem to take. I'd imagine it's Tuchel, especially with the rumors of PSG and Bayern close to appointing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that logical, since Sven Mislintat, Arsenal's Head of Recruitment (and thus someone with a pretty big say over who the new manager is) had a massive falling out with Tuchel when they were both at Dortmund. Tuchel banned Mislintat from the training ground and forced him out of the club, resulting in him joining Arsenal last year. Seems unlikely that he is going to want to return to that. Tuchel is apparently replacing Emery at PSG. Edited April 20, 2018 by ml1dch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Stayed a few seasons too long in the end. But what an amazing stint he's had with them. Great servant who should be honored with a statue outside their stadium. Can't say I ever liked him, always thought he was a petulant, pouty cry baby. But he did an stellar job with them on the whole. Thanks for the memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Great manager who has done a massive amount for the club. Won them trophies, created the Invincibles and brought through some of the club's and the world's best players.. The way the Arsenal fans have treated him over the past few seasons has been nothing short of a disgrace, looking through twitter and listening to phone in's this morning with fans celebrating as though they are now the automatic Premier League and Champions League winners is ridiculous. Also the hype over Arsenal fan TV and the way the media have published their rants about Wenger has been bullish and unneccesary. Fans at football clubs such as Arsenal don't know how good they have it, it summed it up for me as I left Wembley after the 2015 FA Cup Final. Arsenal were lifting the FA Cup yet the street was filled with Arsenal fans making their way home. For Wenger's sake I hope they give him a good send off, and I hope he goes into a job such as PSG or the French National Team and proves himself a success once again. For Arsenal, I hope this is just the start of their struggles and that they go the same way as United did after Ferguson left. As we have found out in recent years, no matter how 'big' the club is you are never far away from falling apart in football.
