team discussion Arsenal III - Page 24

Just completed my third season. Terrible season man utd finished 1st and we finished 4th. Managed to win the league cup but the board didnt deem that good enough and I got sacked. Luckily for me Gus Hiddink (man utd manager) retired after completing the treble with man utd and i was offered a job.

I was quite shocked tbh because I did put title contenders, it wasnt till I had one game left of the season that the media claimed that my job was on the line. So I asked the board for more time and they said they we're willing, but after the final game I got sacked. Was pissed though cause I had bought in some nice regens and that.

Doing well as Arsenal first season. Here's the team I've been playing the most. Seeing as some players are injured, either they haven't been available or other players have been so good I can't drop them!


I only signed Sinclair for 6mil and he usually goes for over 11. Signed Podolski for 20 and he can't stop scoring. Dominguez a good signing at 7mil. Camacho was 5, Baines 15, also signed van Der wiel, kerim Frei and just signed banega for 19. Also signed Ben arfa who's only played 20 mins so far due to injury but won me that game!

So far I'm in mid October I think and undefeated. Only conceded 2 or 3 goals I think and they were recently

Haven't been here recently, but I'm still playing.

Just finished the third season, the best season I have ever had, got all the trophies. Won the premier league with 2 pts ahead of Man City. Beat Liverpool 3-1 for League Cup. Beat Fulham (who eliminated Man City on penalties in semi) 4-0 for FA Cup.

For the Champions League, it was just amazing. 3-0 to Juventus in round 16, 3-2 to Benfica in Quarter, 4-1 to Tottenham in semi, luckily I don't need to face Barcelona because they got eliminated by Real Madrid 2-0 in semi. So it's going to be me and Real on finals. Before the finals, the only strikers I have are Sigurdsson (Obviously I re-trained him) and Chamberlain, as Walcott, Doumbia and Van Persie are all on the medical beds. It was tough along the way, but Sigurdsson was very impressive with goals and assists, and Chamberlain scored the important away goal against Tottenham.

So it's now the finals, Doumbia is back for action, he scored the first goal of the game before Ozil trailed it back 1-1. Then Doumbia scored again but few minutes later C. Ronaldo equalized it. Then another freaky goal by C. Ronaldo on 78 min. makes it 2-3. I thought it was over, but my squad never gave up until the whistle blows. Arteta scored on 82min. to make things equal. We made it all the way to penalties. A miss by C. Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos (yes, RAMOS) sealed their fate. We won 4-2 on penalties.

Now I have to plan my next season carefully, because I am sure Man City/Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea are going to buy world class players again, like they did in the last two seasons.

The competition in Premier League is more intense than any other league in the world. That pretty much explains why they have more transfer budget at the beginning than the other big teams in Europe. Aside the big 5 (Traditional Big 4 + Man City), teams like Tottenham, Stoke City, Fulham, Aston Villa, Blackburn, Swansea and Everton can be real troubles should you get careless.

With such an intense competition, it's hard to give the young players a chance for first team football (especially on away games).

Anyone still playing? i'm still going strong in all competitions and just sealed the Premier League without even playing! Chelsea lost 2-0 to Tottenham to give me the league.

also in the Champions League Final, won the FA Cup, League Cup, Community Shield and Club World Champs. hoping to make it a clean sweep for the first time. i was so close in 2017, but i lost the League Cup.

yeah, you have to win the champions league to get in. also, I managed to won everything this season. won the champions league 4-2 on penalties after Lyon equalised in the 118th minute. so frustrating.

signed some great players, sold one player for £44.5m and another for £14.5m. hoping for a few more to go so I can play some of my promising youngsters.

RAT_Dave keep us posted on your save!

In the transfer market, it was an unusually busy period in which 8 players came into the club at a combined cost of £19.25m, 3 of them went out on loan to develop them as players through first team exposure. while 8 went out of the club at a combined total of £103m, also,6 went out on loan, including the 3 new signings.
The players in the red boxes are first team players and the fee i paid for the players i sold are next to their selling fee. just to show the profit made on each player

Claudinei was the big signing, £12.5m with the prospect of rising to £16m after international appearances and goals. he done fantastically in pre-season but i opted with Rigoni to start the season as i wanted a reliable player to start the season and i wanted to ease Claudinei in. he got 4 goals in his first start for the club in a League Cup match against Millwall.

Adriano Marzio went out the door for £44.5m because he wanted a new contract and i wasn't going to give him one that met his demands of £125,000 per week. so he left for Real Madrid. which is turning into Arsenal Alumni, they had a 6-0 win recently, Carazinho got 4 goals, Barroso got one and Petti got the other, all 3 are Arsenal players and Marzio is yet to play after a leg break he suffered just before he joined Real Madrid.

Here are the Real Madrid players that used to play for me. they are all great players but at the time i could not accommodate them in the team and their own ambitions prevented me keeping them. i really wanted to keep Carazinho because he is really good but after selling for £10m to Catania, he then left them after 2 years he joined Fiorentina for £20m and after two really impressive seasons he joined Real Madrid for £36.5m and has done exceptionally there. Barroso was a good player but i didn't play him often enough to keep him and he deserved to play more often than he did. Petti on the other hand was a free transfer and he done okay for me but i wanted to put my younger through the team so i figured i might as well sell him before his value diminishes.




i lost the Community Shield against Chelsea on penalties, i dominated the whole game so i'm a little bit annoyed about it. it was 0-0 after 90 minutes but then i scored in the 112th minute, before a defensive error allowed Chelsea to equalise in the 118th minute. Jeanvier was the only penalty scorer, my other penalty takers were either subbed off or didn't come on because i didn't think we'd go into penalties and i never brought them on.

i'm still unbeaten in the league though, 5 wins and 2 draws, scored 20 goals and conceded 5 goals. so it's going okay. won both my Champions League games so far, the group is Rangers, Sporting Lisbon and Sevilla so it isn't a bad group to be in, short travels and winnable games.

highlight of the season so far is a 3-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in front of 99,000 Mancunians! big win that was and morale has been very high since. there is so much confidence at the club and we go into every game knowing we can outscore anyone.

Here is Jeanvier, from the Arsenal Academy and the player who dictates the team in nearly every move going forward, last season he ended on 34 goals and 21 assists in all competitions. playing 46 out of 60+ games that the team played last season
