Arteta's Plea To Kroenke For New Players - Leipzig Say No Sesko Move - Zinchenko To Dortmund?

[@AntonJonit]

The owners are showing me exactly what I already knew before the transfer window opened that they don't care , have no desire to win trophies even when are begging for a striker!!

[@1972dsrai]

From their perspective the club is doing well getting top four. The stadium is full every game and merch is flying out. How many kit releases have you guys had?

[@NightwingTheDread]

I hope you read this C. Mikel literally said “no” a few weeks back when asked point blank if we needed a striker. I wish I could remember which game it was, I believe it was the press conference after the Newcastle game.

[@oshanejohnson4997]

I remember he's trying to take it back in the Newcastle interview

[@1972dsrai]

It was probably before Jesus got injured. Before that he was still talking about internal solutions and its only afterwards where he’s finally accepted he needs to strengthen.

[@manoutoftime8243]

Replaying stream now and just had to stop at the press conference. KUDOS to that journalist, finally someone with a spine asking real questions putting this “manager” on the spot. We know he’ll never be back to another presser again 😂😂😂 But I disagree that the “manager” is bothered with the lack of transfers. He’s not bothered in the slightest. He’s just play acting, like everyone else at the club. It’s all theatre - have the media present that Arsenal are working so hard and overtime to get players over the line. We aren’t. We never were. It’s a facade. “Have I ever said no to a striker?” Well your actions dictate otherwise, Tapas - it’s clearly not a pressing issue to you or the club. This club is a complete disgrace top to bottom and needs extensive fumigation. We reek #artetaout #kroenkeout

[@ShaunMcLauglin-gg6lh]

Two things are certain, we are signing no one and we are winning nothing. Damage was done in the summer.

[@josephb9885]

Arteta said "NO" to needing a forward twice before Jesus went down. We've needed multiple forwards since the end of last season and before any injuries to the current squad. The damage is already done. We lost critical points in the Prem, we were knocked out of the FA Cup, and we've been virtually knocked out of the Carabou Cup all during a wide open January window. Since that last shambolic summer window, they should've been prepping to bring in at least 2 players in the first week of January.

You are 2nd and through to the UCL knockout stages. You’re not doing too badly for a side with key players out injured. We don’t even know if he’s tried bringing in players and your owners have said the money’s not there til the summer or he’s tried, but clubs don’t want to let their strikers leave if they’re still competing for top four. He could at least try getting a couple of loan deals done. Theres nothing stopping him bringing in overseas players. I’m guessing he wants Gyokeres or Isak and its why he hasn’t gone for Osimhen.

[@manoutoftime8243]

@@1972dsrai being in 2nd and advancing to the knockouts mean absolutely nothing if we do nothing in January to ensure those positions (and further, get over the line). We’ve been in this scenario before countless times the last 15 years.

[@highburyslocalbadger8130]

To the Arsenal Faithful , It’s time for us as fans to demand better for our great club. Arsenal Football Club is not just another team; it’s a global institution with a legacy built on trophies, dominance, and excellence. Yet under the current ownership, we’ve seen a steady decline in ambition, with mediocrity becoming the norm. Top-four finishes are celebrated as if they’re titles, while the club fails to compete for major trophies. This is not the Arsenal we grew up supporting. We must hold the ownership accountable for their lack of investment in elite management and world-class players. The appointment of managers like Mikel Arteta-who lacks the credentials or major honours to lead a club of Arsenal’s stature-is a clear sign that the standards have dropped. Meanwhile, proven winners like Ancelotti, Zidane, Klopp, and Rijkaard have been overlooked. It’s time to raise the standards. We, the fans, are the heartbeat of this club. If the Kroenke family refuses to match our ambition, we must make our voices heard. Boycotts, protests, and unified action are the only way to show them that we will not accept mediocrity. Arsenal is not a business project-it’s a footballing giant with a history of winning, and it’s up to us to defend that legacy. Let’s demand change. Let’s demand success. Let’s remind them that Arsenal was built to win. Raise your voices. Raise the standards. Together, we can restore Arsenal’s greatness.

The long drought of top honours for the Club has unfortunately cultivated a sense of mediocrity within our fanbase. Instead of pushing for the success we once took for granted, many have become resigned to more average standards, and that’s a tough pill to swallow. Asking the Kroenkes to invest in players or for them to be asking the tougher questions about Arteta, is not about loyalty or proving who is the ‘truest’ supporter-it’s about a fundamental truth we all share as fans: the desire to see our team lift top honours once again. Whether we’re from North London or beyond, that’s a goal we should all be able to rally behind🔴⚪️

The Arteta lack of talent ID lacks a lot of context. A lot of them players were signed for very little money when we were in 8th and were not an attractive club. They were stop gaps. Every club and manager makes bad signings. Look at the amount of terrible signings pep has made. He went through about 3 fullbacks and 3 keepers all signed for big money. Nunez for Liverpool. Chelsea have signed flops. United have. We have owners that don’t go again when our signing fails that’s the issue. It’s important to have a manager sign off on players. If he gets us over the line and wins us a big title he’ll still sign flops. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and some of it is absolute fact but a lot of it is just blindly slating a manager they never wanted or are losing faith in.
