You need to get a job so as to make positive use of your time instead of posting lies ,when did Hleb leave.Prophet of doom get a life

When Manchester United and/or Chelsea get into serious difficulties with their successive £500 million pound debts, we as gooners, will have the last laugh. And like Arsenal’s football, the laugh will be pure and beautiful and everlasting. So I’ve got 2 words for the author of this blog. The first begins in F and the 2nd begins in O.

Come back with a more intelligent analysis of how an obscene russian benefactor and an equally obscene pair of american benefactors have skewed the situation and you will gain some more credence.

Who said hleb’s leaving?

Arsenal have struggled most up front have they. You mug, they were the second team to reach 100 goals in all comps this season and second top scorers. We dont have money to compete, why is this news, you could run this story on crystal palace. What team is as good as the Arsenal with our restrictions, utd would be shit if they had to deal like us. COME ON THE GUNNERs

Erm, Hleb is still at the club. Flamini is a defensive player, something a trained chimp could do, just ask Phil neville. Please, i know its dead easy to jump on lazy arsed bandwagons, but do try and be a bit more original. These stories are just so dull.

Flamini had 1 decent season, why does he deserve 380K a week? As for the pay structure, since when has £100k a week been not enough?

And if I aint mistasken, the transfer window aint even open yet, never mind closed.

YAWN!!!!

we have suffered up front the most..Really? is that why arsenal are 2nd highest scorers in the league and without Van Persie for half of the season

Only a stupid yid would give such silly comments..

As we know when the Glaziers bought Man U they put all the borrowings to buy the club, back into the club - effectively making the club pay for itself! But cleverly, for accounting reasons, a separate company is used to show these borrowings - which are now £666m - the highest ever in football history. That’s right - Man U have more debt than any club ever.

But that’s not all - Man U owe money everywhere - they are not even paying off the interest on their debts - and the total now due is an amazing £764m, which includes £56m owed to other clubs on players that the “Ferguson” character has bought BUT NOT PAID FOR. The warning to all of football is clear: if you sell to Man U it will be a while before you get paid.

Man U have to pay £81m in interest on debts a year - last year they managed to pay just £42m, before running out of cash. Now there is nothing illeagal here, but the situation can’t go on - and in 2016 the money must be paid unless Man U can find someone else to take on the debts. They have been trying to do this all year, but without success.

So now we can see - the income of £210m that Man U made such a huge fuss about in January (along with “profits” of £210m) was a sham - because it did not include all the issues relating to the borrowed money. Add everything together and Man U lost £58m.

So does this mean “trouble”? Yes it does, in my opinion, because the interest levels are rising (because each year they owe more and more interest not paid the previous year) but income can’t. Most Man U money comes from match days, and there is huge resistance to more and more price rises.

Arsenal on the other hand is completely solvent - and genuinely does make enough profit to pay for its borrowings (which are secured through the stadium). The mortgage is being paid off month by month, and there is still the bonus from the sale of Highbury and the redeveloped property to come through in the months and years to come.

so suck on that

Flamini has gone and Hleb may well follow. The point is that Arsenal are struggling to hold onto their best players and Flamini is an example of this. Flamini was amazing last season and will be hard to replace. Oh wait we had a replacement called Diarra and he was sold.

Arsenal will never compete for the best players while the outdated wage structure is in place. The move to the Emirates was so that Arsenal could compete with the biggest clubs but has resulted in nothing of the sort. World-clasc players have gone and been replaced by talented youngsters.

The major flaw in Wenger’s recruitment of youth is that he has won nothing with it and will continue to win nothing without real investment

Its amazing that other players haven’t left Arsenal for more money. Its only a matter of time before Cesc leaves and joins a club that will actually win something rather than have to carry a team that plays pretty patterns and wins nothing.

This policy is a failure and some Arsenal fans refuse to accept that they will fall further behind like David Dein said without buying some quality

Great article, I agree. Fair enough about refusing to buy mega players on mega wages but why not get some older wise heads to guide us through the bad times. AW is like the old TV show Logan’s Run, kill them when they get to 30. Like you wrote, look what experience did for milan’s swansong last season.

I’ll say it again;

Since when has £100k a week been a pittance?

I am sure its too hard to grasp for some. We move into a £400M stadium and people expect £50m players to arrive! Diddums.

What world class players have left, INTHEIR PRIME? The squad needs to be strengthened, Flamini leaving probably wasnt expected, but rather he left than Cesc, Diarra? Decent player, sh*te attitude, good riddance.

Its a rubbish article. Wenger is breaking the mould and building something enduring in its own right - not because its leveraged upto the eyeballs or funded temporarily by some rich benefactor. To say that we need to buy big is to fail to appreciate the youth team which is just starting to come through - we don’t buy superstars - we make them. The trophies are coming home soon.

Talk sense not bullshit. We got 360m(mancs have 700m n chavs 500m) of debt. We’ll clear it first unlike the other 2 (both will be busted in the future). So wage structure should be strict. No player is irreplaceable at arsenal. There was a man who at his peak could give 30 goals a season. This season we hav a player who without good technique or freekicks or first touch has given us the same. Wat is the old no 14 now?? We’ll bring in 10 people better than him. This is AW my dear. Remember an old no 4 who played for us?? What is his immediate replacement now?? We’re the best n will be the best.. Silverware will come searching us.. Lol.. Arsenal 4 life..

Certainly Wenger lost the ‘plot’ during the season and threw away the chance of honours but Flamini came on a free and many wanted him out last season, sayig he wasn’t good enough, it was Wenger who stood by him. As for Hleb, I haven’t seen anything that says he has left the club.

You are just a stupid git, Hleb leaving? You just dreamed that up didnt you!

Im with Wenger said earlier about us having to have a wage structure in place. We will come out all guns blazing next season!

The author must obviously be a disgruntled yid, knowing that the coming season will not offer the the return to the glorious dizzy heights of the carling cup triumph.

But back to this ridiculos article.

Wage structure :

The current wage structure was put in place by Edelman when he took the reigns a few years ago, he’s now gone, this will change, but wenger being the pragmatist he is will not pay somebody silly money becuase they’ve had one good season…flamini. Also David Villa has never stated he wanted to join arsenal only that he appreciated the style of football they play which i imagine anyone with an interest in the game would have to concede.

Age Policy:

“Wenger’s policy on age has not provided any immediate rewards” OH REALLY…..Viera 20 when bought, Henry 21 when bought, Edu 21 when bought, Ljungberg 21 when bought…the term INVINCIBLES mean anything to you, and we’ve suffered up front apparently….AdeBayor 30 goals this season….thats suffering, i’ll take that any season.

Doesnt Splash the cash:

Ok in recent years he didnt buy, because he didnt have to, he doesnt panic buy, and as a result of this attitude, we wont go into administration…which is a situation to be faced by a lot of top clubs when the russains and yanks head off inot the sunset with their bank balances looking a bit fatter….beware chelsea and UTD and Liverpool.

If Unhappy Leave:

As far as im concerned the players that ‘are unhappy’ are just that because their greedy, if pires had stayed he’d have been rewarded with an extension each year, if he performed, my job increases my wages if they see me performing to the best of my ability, why should it be any different for a footballer…lets see if flamini reaches the highs he’s had this year, and unlike flamini Cesc wont leave he knows he’s on a winner with arsenal, he’s not been blined by greed.

Brawn over Brain:

Whay on earth would you change the style of football you play????
If you change your ideals you loose the very thing that put you in a position to win things. this will never change and i hope it never does as this is what makes us ARSENAL….

same shite every year 1 player leaves and all of a sudden its a exodus at arsenal (bore bore bore)everyone knows the gunners are the greatest,everyone z when titi left we would never be good enough yer right,all i can say is ade ade ade how many goals …..what a bunch of sad turds who think arsenal are falling apart

I dont know who u are, but I will have to say this,” u are just a big foooooooooooool. Who told the wage structure of the club isn’nt good enough 4 playez 2 stay.
Hleb is still at the club, Flamini has gone 2 make himself a nobody when he is still udergoing the prosses of becoming someone.
There are a lot of prospect in the team.
By summer we will know how far

Rigid wage structure!

Rigid age structure!

Is there any real scope for success apart from making financial profit?

What’s going on at the Arsenal!!!!!!!

BULLCRAP!

arsenal were one game from winning the title this season and manu had just that bit of luck in the big games this season - penalties against arsenal and a debatable one agaiunst chelsea,and in two games players were controvertialy sent off - javier and mikel !! .. it was just the one game !!

all manu fans can shove it !!

first of all Wenger knows more than any of us. last season everyone was talking about this guy and that guy that we need. yes wenger did miss out last season on two major transfers, which he has admitted, of Ribery and Pato. Personally i think Pato will be good but was the money right, i dont think so when we have a prospect like VELA. Ribery was a big miss but again we got priced out on both the transfer fee and wages. we had Modric in line for the summer and even had an agreed £9m fee but again Stupid Yids have come in with a ridiculous offer and beaten us. Wenger knows who he wants to sign and if he doesn’t get his first choice he rethinks and changes his potential positions to target. if any gooners fan can tell me that thay expected to sign Eduardo and Sagna last year they are talking absolute B######s. i think we would have won the league had Eduardo not broken his leg because he was in fine form. anyone remeber the everton game two easy finishes which he made easy. as for Sagna, well being in the PFA team of the year in your first season. i dont think i can remember that ever happenning, maybe Cech.

anyways long post but stop all this speculation because like all of you i play Football manager and i sign loads of quality players and give them ridiculous wages but thats a game and this is reality and thats why WENGER knows best because he takes all this into consideration, where as us fans can only dream of signing the Ronaldo’s and Etoo’s of this world, without realistically looking at how fabregas would have felt if flamini had got more money. all our players need to understand that the wage structure does not change for anyone bottom line

I quite like the article, although I cannot agree with the conclusion. People need to stop jumping on the bandwagon that we won’t win and look at it with common sense, logic and reasoning.

Arsenal will win some silverware, even if Hleb goes and to be honest I wouldn’t mind too much if he did.

A bit of a slight improvement to this season and we are champions. With the experience of this season and the new players coming in from any transfers, plus the additions from the reserves/loanees, we will see a better team next season.

No one expected us to win anything this season and look how close we came. If we get in an experienced centre back, right winger and possibly a goalkeeper, we will be in an even stronger position to challenge.

Wait and see. I don’t even have to have faith in Arsene, I believe in the players, and they will prove me right.

The truth hurts as we cant compete with the big guns. We will see many of our gifted players leaving for better prospects elsewhere. We will train and mould them into world class players for other teams to come and nick them. We are unable to buy big players as they demand cost more money and demand high wages. Yes we need to have a realistic wage structure but base it on results so that we can compete with others. We dont need to get into more debt but we can fund by diluting the share holding by issuing new shares. This way we can fund our purchases each year by not breaking the bank

Since when have we lost our best players?

Henry and Vieira left AFTER they had peaked. Flamini’s contract ran out after 1 season playing well.

Cashley is the only one i can think of and after ihat he did in that hotel room woth Kenyon and maureenho, they are welcome to the treacherous c*nt.

Poor..poor poor journalism.

Old Glenn Hoddle Eh? He struggled to speak eloquently when giving his views on KARMA. I would like to suggest to poor old Glenn that next time he tries to explain the ancient idea he uses Flamini’s arse*** departure as a very precise example. Having lost Campbell to the arse it only seems fair that your young stars now realise that a club thats won nothing for 3+years needs to be left and Hleb is probably next with Diarra already gone - 3 young stars all looking elsewhere, NOW THATS KARMA GLENN………..

hey guys, discuss the reasons why these players want to leave the arsenal on http://www.arsenalheat.blogspot.com

I don`t think we have suffered upfront. Here are the numbers:
Man Utd: 78 goals scored
Arsenal: 73 goals scored
Liverpool:64 goals scored
Chelsea: 62 goals scored
And remember that we didn`t have van Persie for almost half of the season, and Eduardo wasn`t starting games at the beginning and when he got a chance , he flourished and got horribly injured in February. So to score 73 goals with a weakened attack isn`t bad at all, Edurado scored 12 goals in his first Premier League season, the same as Rooney with less games than him. !!! Tevez scored 14, Fabregas scored 12, van Persie 9, Bendtner 8.
We suffered at THE BACK, here are the numbers:
Man Utd : 22 goals conceded
Chelsea :25 goals conceded
Liverpool: 28 goals conceded
Arsenal: 31 goals conceded

We need to buy an experienced central defender, and a replacement for Flamini, maybe a natural left winger as well, Eboué should go back to his letf-back position and be a cover for Sagna.
We had a good season, (4 points behind Man U, not 21 like the previous season!)
Maybe we would have won a trophy this season if van Persie ,Rosicky and Eduardo weren`t injured in Feb/March but the squad was too small, that`s why I don`t think we should sell Eboué, Senderos and Gilberto like many people are saying , we still need to have them in the squad as a cover. The same like Man U have players like O`Shea, Fletcher , or Alex, Pizarro for Chelsea. Let`s buy 3 or 4 players and we`ll do better next season…!

Oops , sorry I meant we should buy a RIGHT winger so Eboué should go back to his RIGHT-BACK position!

Ravin Sampat…you are nothing but a FOOL! Your name should be FatAss! Big Idiot you are! Silly Silly comment.

Ravin Sampat..sorry for the mixup. the attack was meant for Dooby do! More like a brainless Scobby Don’t!…Once again Sampat, sorry for the mix-up. by the way, your name sounds a bit like Sampras. He is a legend.

I actually think you have got some of this half right.Up front we have scored a lot of goals but we also create more chances than most other teams.We certainly create more clear cut chances than Chelsea and Liverpool and probably on par(if not ahead)of Man Utd.If you then look at the extra goals they have scored over us it means that we can be wasteful with many of our chances.What we lack is clinical finishing at times.This is particularly problematic against better teams where the next chance may not come around so quickly again.With more clinical finishing we should have beaten Liverpool in the semi-finals and beaten Utd in the league,both of which would have kept Arsenal in all trophies.For this position Villa would be good but I also think Oba Martins would give us that extra bit up front.

Flamini has had one very good season for us so I think Arsenal were offering the right money to reflect that.In my opinion a player needs to prove that consistent level over 2-3 seasons before getting the wages Flamini was after.Fabregas in an exception & for that type of player Arsenal should push the boat out with his wages.Although sad to see him go I think Flamini is very replaceable.For me we should spend what it takes to put Barry alongside Fabregas and will actually be stronger for it.

Hleb is more interesting.He has also had his first good season but from day one has had more unique ability with the ball at his feet than Flamini.That ability you don’t find so often.Having said that despite this ability it often didn’t convert to effectiveness in the last third.This year he has improved on delivering an end product but despite his ability there are still many other good players out there who don’t weave quite so many pretty dribbling patterns as Hleb but offer more direct threat in the last third. We have missed Pires goal scoring ability from the wide area.Would Ben-Arfa provide more danger from wide left when he gets into the last third?Hleb for Ben-Arfa.We may have to change our mode of attack very slightly but would we be better or worse off with this switch?

Finally we need a big(6′2″ minimum) but good defender as Gallas & Toure are both good defenders but lack aerial height when they play together.

If Arsenal splash the cash this year(maybe over budget)on the right players & make sure we get all players onto minimum 5 year contracts we will not need to buy for another 2 seasons. So it is Martins up front,Barry in midfield,Ben-Arfa out wide and that big defender.Maybe 60m in total with money back for Hleb,Eboue,Senderos and Hoyte. If that constitutes the next 2 years spending it really isn’t that bad. With that line up & what we have already(minus Flam & Hleb)& all the other fast developing young players we can realistically compete on all fronts next season.

we need to spend about 50million to attack both CPL and Prem hers my wish list.

Villa 20m - will score about 15-20 goals 1st season easy

Ben Afra 15m- can play right and left looks like an arsenal player already

Raul Abiol 10- 15m grt at the back and is equally as good as a DM to cover for flamini.

i would like Gomez from PSV good keeper but something tells me wenger is gonna stick with almunia who is a good keeper not a grt one.

Dont need to spend anything. Arsenal have the squad to win things already and compete at the highest level. But for bad refereeing decisions and Arsenal would have won the league this season and have been in the semi finals of the champ league.

Flamini needs to be replaced although possibly this can be done internally with the likes of Song, Diaby, Denilson.

Eduardo needs to be replaced for this season so probably 1 striker is required but again someone like Walcott or Carlos Velos could fill this void.

I agree with the point raised in the article. Wenger is very good at convincing the fan base that everything is ok and there is no reason to worry, but results dont lie and we have not got the quality. I’m tired of us never being linked to proven players. Half our squad is championship quality, especially the swiss boys. Some of Mr.Kaos’s suggestions are good, and I would like to see Akinfeev in goal. Why are we always the fall guys, the big pretenders, never showing any amition, always trying to save pennies buying cheap and young. Youth and inexperience costs points and trophies. Then when they have got the experience they leave the club. The world is laughing at us.

the truth is that we haven’t won anything for 4 almost yrs… and probably won’t win anything for another 4! we’ll keep fading away near the end, unless aw gets reliable defenders (lets face it, only cliche will have a decent chance of making the starting XI at the other top 3) and another world class striker (to be honest, bendtner still has lots of improvement to do, eduardo even tho showing signs of brilliance, is still unproven in the epl and ade and vpersie can’t do it on their own for an entire season) i hope aw realises this and makes us competitive for 50+ game season… but i’m sure he knows this!

Segelo, dont worry about the mistake. it takes a brave man to work out he’s a arsewipe..so congrats.

There are 2 most easiest job to do on this world. Begging and Sports Journalism. Beggar will go where there is crowd. Sports Journalist writes after seeing the result.

With rigid wage structure and youngsters, Arsenal were leading almost for 6 months, and in the end lost only because of their one failure at ManUtd. And all this because one of our goal scorer injured after transfer window, when already one striker was injured.
