Dein supports Wenger to improve Arsenal this summer by PH

The ex-Arsenal director David Dein, who worked so well in tandem with Arsene Wenger before he was relieved of his duties by the Board, has revealed that he still believes Arsene is the right man to lead the Gunners to success, or at least to enable them to challenge the Big Three for a few trophies.

He also believes that Wenger is aware of the distance between Arsenal and Man United and will do something to redress the situation this summer. Dein said: “It’s a long hard season and I am a great supporter of Arsene Wenger as you can imagine. .......Read the full article here

There are lots of interesting quotes about Arsenal flying around this morning and one of them is from the Gunners legendary goalkeeper David Seaman, who thinks that Arsenal are in a great run of form, but worries that they may not be able to perform consistently enough with this batch of players that are changed every year.

Seaman remembers the good old times when Arsenal were always title challengers. He said: “Almost every year we were winning things. I have got nine winners’ medals and quite a few runners-up ones as well and to see what is happening now is so frustrating,” .......Read the full article here

Arsenal must sort out the defence by JG

The big debate now is the problems with our defence, after a demoralising performance in Europe, in this portion of our team.

Vermailen does not suddenly become a bad player, and you do not play for Germany over 40 times and remain first choice, as Mertesacker has by being a poor player. Koscielny has also played well for us in the past, and has great speed of foot and mind. The whole problem is the protection of the back four and confidence in the whole defensive regime. .......Read the full article here

Forgotten Heroes : Solutions to Arsenal’s woes by MLH

Arsene Wenger, the man who created “The Arsenal Invincibles”, but it wasn’t only him. We should not forget David Dein, a fine man and a guy who had an eagle eye for talent. It was him who brought in Dennis Bergkamp, the guy who was the catalyst for Arsenal’s success, and with Wenger he brought in Viera, Pires, Henry, Van Persie, Fabregas, etc. .......Read the full article here

Wenger and Indecision by Jon G

Mr Wenger has found some absolute gems in the transfer market in the past, but they were mostly all when he had David Dein at his elbow. You have to wonder if this is more than just a coincidence.

Mr Dein left the ship acrimoniously, never to return and Mr Gazidis has slipped into his place.

However, David Dein did make sure that Mr. Wengers prevarication over decisions on the transfer front were kept to a minimum, and is it a coincidence that since Mr. Dein has left the club we seem to miss out on certain transfers? .......Read the full article here

Former Arsenal player and goal scorer extraordinaire, Ian Wright, has claimed that another Gunners legend, Dennis Bergkamp, wanted to come to the Emirates as a coach but was turned down by Arsene Wenger. Wright also called for the resignation of some board members and a move to bring David Dein back to the club.

Wright was as shocked as the rest of us by the defeat, and the manner of it, by Bradford last night, and he believes that enough is enough and some drastic changes should be made. The former striker also seems to have joined the growing ranks of Gooners who have lost faith in Wenger and his ability to turn the poor current form around. .......Read the full article here

Hey Guys, I am big fan of Just Arsenal News, and have had season ticket for past seven years. I just thought that I’d put forward an argument for Arsene Wenger and why David Dein could be the answer to our problems.

I was walking back from the Arsenal vs Liverpool game. I’d just watched a very depleted Arsenal get beaten 2-0 by a side that had invested 100 million pounds in the previous two transfer windows. It was the clearest image I’ve seen of two teams going in opposite directions. Both aiming for a Champions League spot, however it was the one from Merseyside that seemed to be heading for the European promise land. .......Read the full article here

The ex-Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein believes you can’t write-off Arsene Wenger achievements and expects that the Frenchman will still come good for the Gunners if e is just given time to sort things out.

Dein said: “Arsene is very focused and very determined. I see a man who still has as much fire in the belly today as when he started,” .

“He wants to win. I believe in his ability and I know for a fact he is trying very hard to improve the squad this year and I hope he does it. .......Read the full article here

Why Arsenal can’t afford to sack Wenger by Subin George

I don’t know how many people are aware of the fact that the last 5 years (2006-2011) has been a project by itself? Yes, it sure was a project undertaken by the entire club management and Le Professor himself to make sure the club becomes financially stable after moving to a new stadium and help nurture new young talents without losing out on a Champions League spot. As we are nearing the end of that project, it’s review time…and it sure looks like they have achieved what they were aiming for without any hassle. Wenger himself went on the record sometime back about this and stated that they would look into every aspect of the club inch by inch this summer and plunge into the Transfer market (Pray that it happens!) .......Read the full article here
