If it has, how come Sanchez is still at our club?
Excellent article in the Sunday Times by Jonathan Northcroft on the changes taking place at Arsenal in preparation for Wenger leaving. I believe it included the suggestion that Wenger would not be in charge of the transfer window decisions this January, not entirely anyway.
Goretzka and Lemar in, Sanchez and Ramsey out.
The relevant part of the article, it gives me hope.
That’s the vision, anyway. Same old Arsenal? Not really any more. It has happened stealthily, often quietly, but 2017 was the club’s biggest year of behind-the-scenes change since Arsène Wenger arrived in 1996. Because Wenger stayed on a fresh two-year deal when his contract came up for renewal in June, the cliché has remained of Arsenal as an institution meandering along — and a continuation of the varied first-team results and performances of recent seasons has furthered that impression, shared by many.
But it may be wrong. 2018 is a year where the effects of huge alterations to the structure around Wenger are expected to start being felt. The January transfer window could be a beginning, with Mislintat coordinating recruitment for the first time.
I used to love football. I used to meet my mate Dave on a Saturday, drive to Highbury, have a couple of beers, get sasuage and chips from the Arsenal Fish Bar on Avenell Rd, stand on the North Bank and sing viciously anti-semitic songs, enjoy a Mars Bar at half-time, cheer when we were good and giggle when we were outrageously bad, then go home and get on with my life.
What the fúck happened to football? Now it belongs to people like you who touch themselves inappropriately because some **** called Mislintat is in charge of transfers?
Fúcking hell.
