‘Wenger has made his decision clear that he wants to stay and, even at 67 and after years of stubbornness, he believes he can rediscover his glory years.There will be a major shake-up of the squad, big changes behind the scenes – they want a new Academy director and in the longer term a director of football – and an expectation of Wenger being able to take the club to the next level’ – John Cross, Daily Mirror, March 2017.
‘Arsene Wenger is determined to stay on as Arsenal manager – and wants to oversee a major rebuild of his squad this summer. It is likely to lead to a big clear-out at the Emirates, with boss Wenger targeting several summer buys’ – John Cross, Daily Mirror, March 2016.
‘Arsene Wenger will sign a new Arsenal contract, and is proving it by planning a huge spending spree in the summer transfer window. Wenger has left Arsenal in no doubt that he is staying because he is lining up big transfer targets as he looks to strengthen his squad for a title challenge next season’ – John Cross, Daily Mirror, April 2014.
‘Arsene Wenger will be given a huge budget to transform Arsenal back into genuine contenders next season by making summer signings’ – John Cross, Daily Mirror, May 2013.
We hear this every summer...what overhaul? He will buy 3 senior players and one young one.
He will replace Sanchez, he knows we need a scorer. Then he will buy some number 10 to play him on the wing and a left back. And a young player that will get 5 games tops in the new season. All the new players wil be of worse quality then Sanchez or Ozil, better then Monreal(not that hard).
And that's it. Let's be real here.
By contrast, what we need is: New KG, new CB, new CM, new winger and new striker. And to get rid of a lot of players who we pay for nothing or are not good at all.(Ospina, Merte, Gabriel, Monreal, Gibbs, Jenko, Debuchy just to name a few).
