What the Arsenal fans WANT to hear, Wenger

|

Arsene WengerArsene Wenger wants his side to challenge for the Premier League title next season, insisting Champions League qualification is the ‘minimum required’. A claim which will please a hell of a lot of Arsenal fans out there.

As we all know, The Gunners have not lifted a piece of silverware since 2005 and have fallen behind Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City in the Premier League title races over the past few years.

However, Wenger seems to finally have had enough of falling short of winning trophies, especially the Premier League title, and says next season must be different.

The Frenchman said:

‘Last year we made 70 points and finished third. This year, we can make 73 points and finish fourth, so what you want to do is have a consistency and fight for the Premier League.

‘Finishing fourth is the minimum required. You could see that when Chelsea’s Champions League position was under threat, they came out quickly and said ‘no, what is most important for us is to be in the Champions League next year’.’

He added:

‘It is difficult to achieve, but we have done it over the years. Is it enough? No. We want more, but this year, Manchester United was above everybody else.

‘We have rebuilt the team and since January we have certainly done very well if you look at the number of points we have taken compared to the other teams.

‘We have created a good basis and that stability can help us start strongly next season.’

Regardless of whether we require the last remaining Champions League spot, this season has not been productive at all. We are currently 21 points adrift of Manchester United and fighting with Spurs to attain Champions league football next season – it’s just not good enough.

I want Arsenal to challenge for the title next season, and I’m glad to hear Wenger is aiming for it. In my opinion, it is very much possible. But it is now down to Le Boss and the board to tie up the significant deals to improve our squad further.

We Arsenal football club and we should be up there with the likes of Manchester United fighting for the title, not scrapping for fourth place with bloody Spurs!
