Who’s coming? Who’s Going??

Last week I told someone, ‘It looks like our Arsenal is a sinking Ship’. Life as an Arsenal fan has never been more dificult. You receive all kinds of taunts and yabs from other fans and sometimes from your own heart. It’s not been easy. You wonder, where did it go wrong? How did we lose that Carling Cup Final? How come we lose to Manchester United after Barcelona in the same week and got knocked out from the FA and Champions Leagues? Last season, was my worst season as a gooner.

Arsene tells us, The Players were fantastic and it was his fault. The players say it was their fault and not Le Boss’s. Wonderful! Well, its all our fault. The Players, The Manager, the Fans, the Board, the Referees.. just name it, we are all responsible. We all share the blame. Why? Because we all make up the Arsenal.

The much awaited summer is here and as usual, players are moving up and down. Bendtner and Denilson have openly voiced their opinions that they want out. Cesc, Clichy and Nasri also want out if you’re an ardent Arsenal news freak like I am. Some others may not voice their angers probably because they are tied down with a longer contract. Imagine maybe Van Persie, Vermaelen and Alex Song all wanting out, that would just be a disaster. So, what is the fate of our beloved team?

Arsene has promised to be ‘busy’ this summer and someone teased, he sure is busy pricing players only to watch them sold to other clubs. Already numerous players like Cahill, Samba, Matuidi, Eto, Gervinho, Enrique, Douglas Costa and a host of others I never even knew existed.

Well, one thing is certain, if there is a man who can ‘fix’ this, it is Arsene himself. Don’t forget however of his characteristic shrewdness in the transfer market. The signings might not be the ‘big’ names you might dream of but players he believes will fit into the Arsenal way. Let us trust Arsene yet again, why? Because he is the number one Arsenal fan in the world. This Arsenal Ship will not sink, there are better days ahead.
