The media are spinning Arsenals officials spin. Stans time in running out. PHW too. Ivans as well. People are now thankfully talking David Dein without slating him. Hes the one that made things happen.

Stan's time isn't running out as long as he doesn't want to sell. He can't be forced out.

Time is running out and he can be forced out Damien. Tim Paytons being very vocal, he use to keep silent because the board wouldnt communicate with the AST any longer but now the mugging can no longer be tolerated.

He owns the club. How do we force him out? Payton can be vocal as he likes, he has no legal mechanism to remove him. Realistically we can only force him out by some very drastic measures like the stadium being empty and hurt the club's viability.

the stadium is becoming empty. ticket holders didnt even turn up for the Bayern game, id of thought the stadium would be packed for that one but it wasnt, now that is sending out a message. if Wenger doesn't sort it out this summer, and the seniors and we fail yet again next season AND Wengers given a new contract then thats going to lead to a protest. the stadium will be empty. or there will be mass protests in the stadium slating the board.

He is still miles better then your incumbent buddy.

Reina always comes up because we've been linked with him a million times previously. I don't see it happening, Szczesny really isn't as bad as people suggest. He still makes mistakes but he is young and I don't see us ditching him. People latch onto narratives, like memes, and then push them constantly. The goalkeeper is not a position most Arsenal fans are that concerned about.

we're concerned in the position. theres no competition in goal. Fabianskis leaving this summer.

If Fabianski goes then we'll get someone in but it's not a position that people get massively concerned about. Szczesny is fine. CB, Defensive Midfielder and another striker are usually the areas people worry about.

Szczesny has qaulity dont get me wrong but he needs competition. Gotze is being named a lot. i agree with those positions needing players but you cant rule out others or say it not as important.

What Arsenal need are players who are leaders and will run through a brick wall for them.
