Unambitous Arsenal Board and Manager: The Reason for Imminent Players' Exodus

Fabregas, Rosicky, and Walcott's earliest return is March. This means the team has to do with the current disjointed and un-motivated squad for the battle of the champions league place, European club Champions, and FA Cup trophies.

 

Arsene Wenger has already given up on challenging for the EPL trophy by admitting after the Everton match that it will be impossible to catch up with Manchester United.

 

Fourth place is the only remaining possible objective to achieve for him, although he appreciates that Villa is putting pressure on Arsenal for the battle of the champions’ league place.

 

My honest view is that a fifth trophy less season minus guaranteed champions league place for the Gunners will lead to key players namely: Cesc Fabregas, Cole Toure, William Gallas and Robben Vanperse leaving Arsenal during the next transfer window.

 

Real Madrid, Barcelona, and AC Milan, among other European heavyweights, will tempt Arsenal board and players with inflated transfer fee and good pay package respectively, which will be irresistible for the duo.

 

What is the objective of Arsenal youth policy? Is it for business or success in terms of transition process and glory?

 

The players above 25 years will be thinking about their career and achievements before the end of their prime playing time. They will not stay to help the team that has developed them to become football stars.

 

This is due to lack of ambition to win trophies being exhibited by the teams board and manager. Every footballer will want to retire after being crowned with champions league and EPL-like trophies, besides the personal awards given to Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka.

 

Can these players achieve that with Arsenal? The answer is big NO.

 

Arsenal board and Arsene Wenger have a responsibility to ensure that the current Gunners team sticks together for the next two seasons for Arsenal to be counted among the big clubs in the world.

 

Gooners, let me get your say on this!
