If they can sort that out then they should get third place which would be a lot more than Wenger would have got them. Only thing is their away form is terrible. You should seriously look it up. They got a win % at 82,35 at home while away it's 35.7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yes if their away form doesn't improve they will miss out on a top 4 place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Very lacklustre today. Sokratis-Mustafi must be worst CB pairing in the top 6 teams. Koscienly is better than either of them and he's injury prone and well into his 30s now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 didnt realise they'd fallen so far behind in commercial revenue, saw the kit deal figures and know the turnover is propped up by the stadium (biggest match day revenue in world football I think) and always assumed they were doing ok sounds like an absolute mess with maybe more worrying they still don't have a clear identity that will get them out of it, not producing players anymore, lumbered with Ozil, defence is still shit they really needed to win the EL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 For all stick he got that Wenger getting top 4 every year was incredible. Emery also did very well last season Club is rotten and prob have no money or resources that Emery I feel will walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Arsenal playing the gold / Sullivan game Expect them to come out with some guff about trying their best but a deal just wasn't there, it's all palaces fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Be interesting to see if their transfer strategy of bidding half of what the club is asking for the players is going work out for them. £40m for Zaha, £30m for Fekir, £50m for Maguire... Feels a bit like when we pretended to try and sign Tim Cahill was it? on deadline day under Lerner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) seems strange to me that arsenal's 1st PL rise came at the same time as Frances resurgence in the 2nd half of the 90s but this French resurgence has completely passed them by their german ex chief scout didn't get any young talent out of germnay their Spanish coach isn't getting any young talent out of spain they have produced 2 youngsters in about 5 years (maitland niles and iwobi) arsenal's old model of bringing in young unknowns and developing them in to world beaters is exactly what they should be doing right now but they have abandoned it, the worst thing being that based on the swiss ramble stuff im not sure they can afford to take 3/4 years buying young talent and then pushing for the CL and title again, they need instant success, its a shame because I think they are still my favourite out of the big boys because of how they played and who they bought Edited July 3, 2019 by villa4europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt take much now to find out about youth football abroad yeah I understand that, I think willingness to buy them and then play them comes in to it too though looking at the time periods - 2010 - 2019 bought 12 players under 21 and promoted 20 youngsters to the 1st team 2000 - 2009 bought 27 players under 21 and promoted 38 youngsters to the 1st team obviously varying degrees of success but they've stopped playing youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
