It will be fair to say that Arsenal’s premier league
title dream for the current season is virtually over after humiliating defeat
at the hands of Chelsea.
Gunners were woeful against Jose Mourinho’s men and with
tough fixtures not ending yet; one can expect them to drop more points.
Moreover, their injury concerns do not seem to end and
the morale of the players at the moment stays low.
Arsenal have conceded 34 goals in 30 league games but
(half) 17 of those in just 3 games against City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
The only hope of silverware this season is FA Cup, one
that Arsenal just have to win. Still, there are some fans that have had enough
and want Wenger out of the club.
The bad news for them is that Wenger will not be going
anywhere even if he fails to win the FA Cup. Yes, even if he fails to win the
FA Cup.
Reasons are well known.
Every season, Arsenal fans come to know that their club
is in profit and they will have hefty cash to spend, however like always they
use transfer windows to earn more profit instead of signing top quality
players.
Selling their top players have become a habit and they
only signed Ozil on deadline day to zip up fans after letting go more than 20
players last summer.
Once again, knowing that Arsenal need a striker in
winter, all the time was wasted just to bring an injured Kallstrom who has not
played a game yet.
The board absolutely loves Arsene Wenger as with little
or no expense gunners are able finish in top 4 and generate hefty revenue and
well top 4 is almost secured for gunners being 6 points ahead of Spurs with a
game in hand this season.
With Liverpool bloody brilliant and likely to improve
their squad next summer, Chelsea and City already strong and Man United to
reinforce heavily, Arsenal cannot risk another dry transfer window.
Or maybe they can, because against all odds Wenger has
always guaranteed fourth spot. That does not cheer up fans anymore, but who
cares about the fans because it completely satisfies the board.
Wenger is here to stay but sadly for all the wrong
reasons.
