Arsenal are set to receive a huge sponsor boost from Puma at £180m, additionally they
have a new Emirates deal worth £150m which was signed 2 months ago. Wenger is
going to be given around a £120 mln transfer kitty out of that. For the first time in years this
seems to be likely.
In earlier years, the £400m Emirates Stadium drained Arsenal resources and the club
mainted a sell our players to maintain club finances policy. After Henry, Song, Fabregas,
Adebayor, Clichy, Toure, Nasri & RVP... additionally, a big influx of money came from the
sales of the Highbury Square apartments...that time is gone.
For the first time we are going to be in control. All signs point to a spending summer and
we better have new star players.
Another good thing is that all our key players have contracts and no player is going to be
holding Arsenal ransom to their demands. For the first time we might have a clean season
without player departure.
All the "dead wood" players are finally reaching the end of their contracts and we will have
over £400,000 k p/week freed from the releases of Squillaci, Arshavin, Santos, Bendtner,
Djourou, Chamakh, Chu-Young, and Denilson.
Arsenal was supposed to be in evolution over the last 8 years, but we have been going
through a revolution and chaos surrounded our club. But the time has come where debt,
dead wood & the wrath of the fans combing is going to liberate us from the shackles of low expectations.
Mixed feelings surround this season, but the conclusion is BAD for Arsenal and that is a very
good thing. Because the fans want to be heard now.
It was a year of ups and downs. But just because we are unbeaten in 9 games now, we
cannot forget that we had a BAD season.
We lost to Bradford in the League Cup, Blackburn in the FA Cup and we barely made it
through CL stages with Shalke and then we lost 3-1 at home to Bayern... which did let us go
though in the end in the Champions League, at least if we would lose in group stages like
Chelsea, we would have a shot at Europa Liga. We cannot forget that we have been losing
to teams like Spurs & Norwich this season and we are on the brink of Top 4.
We are Arsenal FC! We are a team of high aspirations and huge expectations. We are the
team with grace and style. Our earlier players like Bergkamp used to walk on water, Thierry
Henry had a golden foot, and the likes of Vieira & Adams stopped any show boating
footballer and put them to the ground.
The invincible cast a pretty big shadow and emulating that record will be difficult, but that
does not mean we must sell our best players and become a struggling Top 4 team. We are Arsenal FC! I love my club and this was a BAD season.
The fans are what makes up a club and we must be heard that changes must be MADE!
The combination of all the key elements mentioned about indicated that Arsenal are finally a
club on the RISE, even though we have no evidence of that just yet!
In Arsene I Trust and with Arsene we will win!
