The question we all have to ask our self is – is Arsenal in crisis? In my honest opinion, Arsene Wenger is delusional, he cannot see the obvious occurring at our club, or can he? Does he not want to state the obvious?
Firstly with comments suggesting Cesc Fabregas is staying at Arsenal and is happy at the club to 24 hours later being confirmed as a Barcelona player, there was no reason to state such a comment in an interview, this lead to allot of fans losing faith and belief in out club.
We all know the current situation with the wage structure and the budget he has set on spending on new players, but the problem is Arsenal does not appeal to world-class players. The club has turned a new leaf and is now in a real crisis, Wenger does not want the fans to turn against him so he has to hide behind his own words to try and convince us that we are financially in a very good position and that injuries and suspensions are the current fault in our failure.
After our lost to Liverpool over the weekend, Wenger claimed we played very well until the sending off, and with 8 Players out before the match there was nothing to worry about because they will be back and everything will be ok? In these 8 players which he has stated, it is very hard to believe that Squillachi, Almunia, Traore will make a difference?
We have to rely on youth Prospects being brought in for too much money to do a job for us in the current seasons, and the only attraction for them is playing football. Can we honestly see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain , Joel Campbell and Ryo Miyaichi winning us silverware this season single-handedly ? I doubt it , we could possibly reach another Carling Cup final and lose.
Losing out on players in the past was a sign of things to come. Wenger and the Arsenal board have not been able to convince players such as Patrick Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas and Gael Clichy to stay at the club because of either players wanting to leave for more Money, losing attraction to the Arsenal way or Wenger’s policy of not willing to give more than 1 year contracts to over 30-year-olds.
The situation with no trophies won in 6 Seasons is a massive turn off for players with ambition and the will to win to come to us is also a massive negative turn off for players at the club at their peak wanting to win winners medals. For example, I cannot see our current captain Robin van Persie – who has now hit his peak – wanting to stay with Arsenal at the end of this season if no trophies have been won.
I can see this season peaking at one point with the odd wins here and there, but I can also see this season with silly defeats by losing out to lower opposition and rival teams which will only anger the fans and players involved at AFC.
To finish off my piece, I would like to end with a motto which could help Wenger and Arsenal FC out:
Money + big-name players = team spirit, which = great performances, which = trophies and happy Fans
Sort it out Arsene…

Another naive writer blaimng Wenger for everything. Why am I commentting to an idiot like you anyway.
Agreed, another 17 year old writing about what he reads in the British trash papers, have you ever considered that Wenger actually thought Nasri & Fab would stay but the board made the final decision to let them go? I could go on and on… so instead; sort it out little brain & stop writing shit until you do.
Something isn’t right at the club, that’s for sure. But it ain’t the manager. He’s proved that in the right environment he is one of the very best in world football.
Hi Fan, any manager would to keeps his top players and you forgot, who behind the scene. The issue really is that the Board controls the policies, the way the club is run.
Wenger is an employee, the Arsenal Board set policy or limits on spending and Wenger just follows. Come on Arsenal Fans, please understand the real issue at Arsenal, the board control the policy. Arsenal Fans blaming Wenger for NOT spending, BUT fans forget if Wenger want sign top class players, Arsenal salary structure must get approval from Board.
Wenger is working in difficult circumstances and he alone, without Board back-up. Wenger he get screw-up from left to right from Arsenal fans and media … I have had enough of Stan Kronke, he sucks and he needs to sell up and go back to USA. The American bankrupt businessmen are NOT welcome.
The Broad kill Arsenal like Lady Bracewell-Smith says.
Kroenke out with that muppet gazidis can’t you see it ain’t up to arsene,yes he’s stubbern but the yanks need to go now.save our club
A real crisis. Stan Kroenke focuses more on his US sports entities, PHW and Gazidis are the bastards who stand behind Kroenke rather than Wenger, besides pocketed themselves while keep the seat safely for a long time. And Wenger words are much of lies and excuses because the lack of support from the shy board and the angry fans.
We will definitely be affected with all these mess this new season. No two way about it.
Of course Chamberlain, Campbell and Miyaichi wont win something single handed. They will look to the other 21 international players still at the club to give them a hand.
Sensationalist Journalism at its worst
Sczcesney, Fabianski, Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Djourou, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Traore, Song, Wilshire, Ramsey, Diaby, Rosicky, Walcott, Van Persie, Gervinho, Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner, Campbell, Martinez – FULL INTERNATIONALS all of them, 3 of them captain their countries.
Whoever wrote this a few words of advice. Stick to your proper job and forget writing. There is more to being a supporter than counting trophies.
Blah blah blah……. yawn, let’s blame Wenger for anything and everything. There was no need for this article it is pointless and a waste of time.
