Paid Members mim731 Posted January 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hmm. To me, that sounds like Arsenal releasing a story to try and nudge City into upping their offer. If it's true, it's not the worst deal. Depends whether Wenger thinks he can get more out of Mkhitaryan than Mourinho has. I'm not sure he addresses what the team loses with Sanchez going.

What's more, don't forget Mkhitaryan will thrive at Arsenal! I reckon mim might be right, something whipped up to get City to up their offer, preferably the £35m we are apparently holding out for. That's not a bad fee for somebody that can leave on a free in a few months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted January 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 That's much less than he would have gone for if he had more time left on his contract. I'm phoning the police and the FA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 Rumours buzzing that Carlo Ancelotti has verbally agreed to take over at Arsenal this summer, and that he refused an approach from the Italian national team as a result. If true, I'd be delighted with this appointment. I can't think of a better manager available and he's had success everywhere. Let's hope the Scottish national team don't hijack and get his signature first. Also, Zidane has signed a new deal to keep him at Real until 2022. So there goes the theories that they'll sack him off. Edit: the amount of Arsenal fans saying 'no thanks' to Don Carlo. Can't make this shit up. I give up with these fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 What's their reason for not wanting him on board? They do understand that the Premier League goes higher than 4th, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Seriously? That's a great coup for Arsenal if true. I understand the romanticism of having a younger manager come in and starting his own legacy ala Wenger but Man United have shown that you need a big a name as possible to follow up someone like Wenger.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 11, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 Carlo is a class act and is the perfect guy to do a job for a few years before Arsenal go for another long term manager (assuming that's the model they want to continue). I think it's a much better idea to have him about for a spell rather than someone untested at a big club. I absolutely loved Carlo at Chelsea. Best football we've played in the Abramovich era under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasons I've seen so far: he's too much like Wenger, he won't be tough enough on the players, we need someone young, he got found out at Real and Bayern, he was average in his last job (WHEN HE WON THE FUCKING LEAGUE), we need Tuchel instead. Ungrateful, self-entitled bunch of wankers. I hope we get Moyes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought a couple of the Scottish posters on here said they wanted Ancelotti to take on the Scotland. Ah, fair enough. I did mention it once, but not as in "I think they should get him". It was more a question as to whether or not Scotland could get him (as I didn't know the state the SFA was in at the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The SFA can't even get it's act together to sign Michael O'Neill, never mind Ancelotti. I wonder if there's any institution in Scotland or even the UK with such consistently poor governance but with absolutely no impact on the decision makers and executives?

I give up with these fans I'd seen somewhere the other day that Mikel Arteta was being groomed for Arsene's job when he moves upstairs into the boardroom.. I think it was the BBC's gossip page, so it should probably be taken with several grains of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
