Has a player ever had 3 consecutive relegations from the PL? 
If not I’m hoping Ramsdale achieves it with Arsenal. 

I can't think of any. But Neil redfern came close!

A Chelsea fan went on a microphone and said werner get out of my club at an open training session. I would say I hope it never gets like that here but we're already starting to see it with perez.

I’m not sure if it was 3 successive but I feel like both Marcus Bent and Nathan Blake - two former foxes, we’re relegated every season around the late 90s early 00s

Herman Hreidersson? 

 

Relegated every single PL team he played for. 5. Palace, Ipswich, Charlton, Pompey, Wimbledon.

 

Albeit not in consecutive seasons.

 

I think actually he was a half decent player!

Yeah I saw that on youtube yesterday. Shocking behaviour and fair play to the woman who called him out.

I have no problem with criticizing players on a forum like this if they play poorly but directly to them won't do anything to help the situation. In fact it's just embarrassing to do that at a training session.

I reckon Arteta asked someone at the club to go and get him something from Harry Ramsden's and they misheard him.

I've been a fan for over 40 years. Seen some very shocking players, play for the club.

 

Not once have I said any player should "get out of my club."

 

I think some fans don't appreciate what they have.

 

Without commenting on other fans from other clubs, I cringe every time I read a fan saying "Perez out" on here. 

 

We all want someone better on the right wing. Hopefully we'll sign someone.

 

But its very short sighted to want Perez out even then.

 

Right now Brendan clearly feels he's the best option we have on the right, even if its a far from ideal scenario.

 

Some people have suggested Richardo or Praet out there, and we've seen instances where both have been given a role on the right side, but it would appear Rodgers favours using Perez there, and to be honest, I dont think he's as bad as some make out, and certainly seems to try hard.

 

While fans may disagree about who to utilise on the right it'll be Brendan who chooses the team and, as good as we may think our opinions are, he's a manager who's won the FA Cup for the first time in our history and had us in the top 4 for most of the last 2 seasons, while mostly using Perez on the right side of midfield.

 

There's an argument that Perez would be better as backup for Maddison, and, while I think and hope that KDH will prove to be a better option, we've not seen enough of him in the senior side to make a valid judgement, so it might be wise to use him like this if we sign a right winger. Even if not in the first 11 any more you'd assume there's a place for him in the number of cup games we're likely (hopefully) to play too this season. 

 

If we buy a right winger and he gets injured (and let's be fair we seem to be good at picking up injuries at the moment) then what???

 

At the very least Perez is (IMHO) a useful squad player. Some reports suggest Hamza and Praet are looking to leave to get more game time, so we may just need the remaining midfield players to give us enough cover to last the season as it is.

 

So I wouldn't be calling for him to go. I'd be grateful he's here, even if he wouldn't be my first choice in the matchday squad.

Arsenal will have spent double what we have on: 

-Ben White

-Martin Odegaard

-Aaron Ramsdale

-Albert Sambi Lokonga

-Nuno Tavares

Absolutely nuts.

They seem to have had a big shift in transfer policy, rather than signing older players on the way down they are signing younger prospects. 
 

could work out well for them but it’s a bit of a risk for Arteta when he is probably 5 games from the sack!

And not one of them would get in our first 11 and maybe 1/2 would make a 20 man match day squad!!
 

They are backing Arteta yet I will be amazed if he is in charge at the end of the season 

[Wymsey]

Wonder if Wenger is helping his former employer behind the scenes in some capacity.

Do agree it’s a good plan to go young. However the fees they are paying for some of those players are crazy. Also there is a serious lack of leadership which will most likely negatively effect the younger players. Who they going to learn from Pepe, Xhaka, Ahbameyang, or Lacazette. Then they got the Arsenal fans all over them from the start, they will ruin some of their careers.

Not "fans" are they though. Probaby live the other side of the World and have never stepped foot near the Emirates.

Highly doubt it.

 

All the policies Wenger used to do employ seem to have gone out the window now.

 

For example Wenger only used to offer one year deals to players who were 30. Look at how Pires, a great footballer and Arsenal icon, wanted more years and couldn't get it. Whereas now Arsenal seem content on offering 2 and 3 year deals to players who wouldn't get them elsewhere.

 

Selling Martinez for 20m and now signing a worse keeper for more. Would have never happened under Wenger.

 

I think Edu is the main problem.

[AjcW]

Arsenal are getting bits of the strategy right.... signing younger for example.

But what they really needed to do was raise funds from selling the likes of Xhaka, Auba, Lacazette and all the dog muck they have out on loan... and investing it in 4 or 5 key starters.

 

Someone mentioned it above but it's absolutely nuts that Arsenal weren't in for Daka, Soumare and probably even someone like Vestergarrd... all 3 would walk into their starting XI.

 

[Super_horns]

They certainly won't get any re-sale value for any of these players so basically hoping these new signings come good for the future.

 

It's the kids come good or bust really.

The worst thing is that if it were done at Leicester towards Perez, half the crowd would cheer. Some people just see football as an outlet for their own shortcomings
