Wenger Outers. Will you still be glad he's gone if we get Arteta?

[SWv2]

Genuine question.

I'm not trying to start a fight or prove a point.

If this had been 3/4 years ago and we were getting Klopp, fine, Cheerio AW.

But Arteta?

I'd have kept AW for one more year on the condition he used a defensive coach (as he apparently used Keown in 2004).

This team isn't that far away. Yup, more by luck than judgement (Auba and Laca complementing each other, swapping Alexis for Mhikky etc). So maybe Arteta will do.

Yes.

Personally I find the whole thing quite exciting. Arteta is clearly a managerial novice but one would suspect he knows and understands the game of football.

[Peter]

He was certainly a very intelligent player. And he does seem like a nice chap.

[Sir C]

Exciting? You've lost the run of yourself. The appointment of a football manager isn't exciting to a grown up.*

*I don't believe that to be true but it's what you'd have said to me if I'd said it was exciting, so I'm saying it to you. A sort of pre-emptive strike.

**Actually exciting is a bit of a silly word to use.

***Because we are grown ups and it's only football.

Yes, exciting, or if not exciting then certainly not something to be in fear of.

New coach, new ideas, let’s see how things pan out.

He has the bones of a very good team in 5-6 players so with a few new players and perhaps more tactical instruction, or perhaps discipline instead of instruction, we might see a bright future.

Genuine question - you think that if Arteta tries to implement the Pep style of play that it will suit our favourite Welsher?

Personally, I can't think of a player less suited to it. You need to be positionally aware in Pep's system (not just endlessly running forward) and possession is king, those who regularly give it away under pressure soon find themselves seated.

Not to say that he can't be taught to play that way, but it will certainly require a change from how he plays now, yes?

He played the way AW wanted him to play, we have established this many times, it wasn't as if he was told to do something and did somthing complately different..... the crap Welsher had a hand in more goals last season than our £350k a week German

Ramsey will be sold so no point worrying about it.

This is most disappointing. I think he's been our best player since Christmas.

Thanks Rich. I shall keep a link to this post for the next time someone tries to defend the useless Welsh c*nt
