Seems to be the "in thing" just now to appoint ex-players, not convinced it's the best option, especially when you see Everton trying to get Ancelotti. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Arsenal make official approach for Mikel Arteta. That'll resolve all their issues.I think majority of us new this.On sky sports. At least copy and paste the article ffs.However Arteta would be a silly move. A great move for the ex player but they already have an ex player in charge the now and he is making a right c**t of it.Surely Arsenal can attract a bigger name or maybe financially Arsenal arent wanting to spend big on a manager. Most games seem to be empty, pricing is a shambles.Horrible club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Carton Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 On 15/12/2019 at 18:30, Deanburn Dave said: Arsenal are in a mess. Cannot think of a manager capable of sorting it out. I don't think the squad is too far away: the problem is the defence and a general lack of heart in the team, but these are longstanding issues. Leno is a decent goalie, Guendouzi + Torreira are potentially a solid midfield partnership, and Aubameyang / Lacazette / Martinelli / Pepe (maybe) will create and score goals. Get Luiz, Xhaka, Ozil and the other wage thieves into the sea. With a Simeone-type in charge and a couple of defensive signings (who don't have a track record of getting injured) in January they could finish top 4. With Arteta, who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great move for the ex player but they already have an ex player in charge the now and he is making a right c**t of it.This doesn't make sense - it implies that all ex players are automatically the same as each other.Alex Ferguson and Ally McCoist were both ex Rangers players, but their managerial careers turned out fairly differently.Arteta is a very highly rated coach and they seemed set to go for him last time before they bottled it a bit and took Emery. Obviously it's still a gamble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time as a manager and he gets the Arsenal gig. Huge gamble. Just would have thought certainly Arsenal could attract big named managers. But yeah seeing Arsenal fail is glorious to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Carlo Ancelotti for Everton? - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50815758. He and his management team won't be cheap. Before he was sacked, his salary demands and Napoli's compensation demands put Arsenal off. Reports say Napoli want compensation from Everton, presumably to claw back some his pay-off. Arteta will be a lot cheaper option for Arsenal. He'd be daft to go without a substantial budget for transfers and clearing out the dross. If Guardiola exercises his reported clause in the summer, Arteta would be the continuity candidate to replace him. Probably wiser to stay in Manchester and see if a better off comes in.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wiser to stay in Manchester and see if a better off comes in..Napoli will want compensation because typically in Italy they sacked manager stays on the payroll. It means they get compensation if they get a job elsewhere but also means they can go back into the job if they sack the replacement (which is why that happens so often over there; you're also not allowed to have more than one job in Serie A each season). If I was Arteta I'd probably wait for Pep to leave - it'll probably be in 18 months if not 6 - rather than taking on a massive rebuilding job at Arsenal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Liverpool will shed any first team players in January as they will want to keep some depth for their title challenge but it's been confirmed that Lallana will leave at the end of the season when his contract is up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Wilson, on loan at Bournemouth, would be a better option. Edited December 19, 2019 by Bishop Briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield United appears to be a bit of a last ditch attempt saloon for footballers with bad reputations. He would probably just end up being a bit part player like Ravel Morrison if he does end up signing for them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
