There's no "meme fuckery". I genuinely think the club is going in a horrible direction. Unless a player is some World XI talent or thereabouts (or a GK), I don't think there's any reason for the club to sign any player over the age of 23 given the constitution of the squad right now. We just finished in 6th place and we have one first XI player under the age of 25. This squad, as constituted, has failed. It's time to start building a new one. I think the schism ultimately comes down to whether you think Wenger was bad because he did particularly poorly with the players at his disposal or whether you think Wenger was bad because he acquired a bunch of shitty-ass players. Personally, I think we have a bunch of shitty-ass players. We're basically doing what Spurs and Liverpool did in the early Emirates era while Spurs and Liverpool are doing what we did during the early Emirates era. We were much better than those teams back then and, unsurprisingly, they're much better than us right now. This club looks to be falling to shit right now. Let's hope I'm wrong or they do something to turn it around.
As it relates specifically to what we should do about RB, just fucking play AMN there. He could hardly get off the bench for the England U-19s as a CM while he came to prominence initially in the Arsenal youth teams and then for Ipswich Town as a winger. People are kidding themselves about that kid. He's either a fullback or he's probably not a PL level player.
We didn't win shit in the early Emirates era and neither are Liverpool or Spurs, why anyone would want to emulate those clubs is beyond me. Madrid have like three players in their whole squad under 25 and they're about to win their fourth CL in five years, their whole spine is 30+ years old. Yes we need to get some talented youngsters in but doing that and signing experienced cover in a position where the starter is 22 is hardly mutually exclusive.
But if your premise is that Wenger did nothing wrong and the piss poor performances are simply down to the quality of the players then yeah I guess it makes more sense to raze the squad to the ground and start building from scratch.
