Hi all I’m a long time admirer of the group but never posted, I’ve been noticing for a while now there is a lot of tension here, some people think we should have moved on from the last 2 and a bit seasons which I agree, and then you have a few that thinks it’s ok for no trophies and at least we have moved on from where we were, I agree with a bit of that! But my concern is if we don’t win trophies players will leave to win trophies, that’s how football works, I can’t see saka saliba Gabriel rice staying at arsenal just to come second place, they want to win trophies nobody remembers 2nd place nobody remembers who lost in the final what matters is the name on the trophy, yes we have come along way from the dreaded mid table years, and I’m over the moon with that, but I want to win trophies as a club, to me some memebers just post the same excuses every year, and I hope this don’t happen as I’d love to win the champions league but if we don’t progress surly the memebers who are happy with second and winning the “we battered Real Madrid “cup, have to admit that it’s been no progress in 3 years, personally I think next year if we sign the players mentioned we win the title comfortably, thanks all and thanks Ed’s.

Excellent post New York I think some fans are happy with top 4 finishes but this is Arsenal our aims should be higher!

Welcome on board NY.
I see absolutely no sign of any of our top players wishing to jump ship in the foreseeable future in fact everything I actually read or hear from our top players themselves is all about how badly they want to be at the club and how badly they want to win big trophies with Arsenal.
Obviously some fans keep predicting they will all leave us soon but to be fair so far those predictions have proved about as accurate as the countless end of the world predictions have been made throughout history.
Quite possibly the end of the world proclaimers might get lucky at some point in the future who knows, as of course might those who keep predicting the end of this Arsenal generation get lucky with their doomsday predictions too at some point future. But very thankfully there is absolutely no genuine sign of either catastrophic event actually happening anywhere but in people own personal opinions and feelings. Long may both these happy reliaties continue to be what they actually are in reality ????
Up The Arsenal, and of course planet Earth and a continuation of life on it too ????.

Welcome Nyg.
In the past probably between 2006 and till the end of Wengers reign we did have players leaving for greener pastures Cesc, RVP, Nasri, Adebayor.
The present squad seem to be pretty settled but having said that could change if we win nothing this season or the next and if that were to happen I don't expect the manager to be there
Take care mate.

Thank you O’Leary! 62 I think you’ve gone off topic a bit there! I’m on about Arsenal not world events, and I never mentioned about players wanting to leave I was just pointing out a concern that if we don’t start winning that’s what could happen it’s happened before! And to be perfectly honest no player really comes out and says they want to jump ship in an interview, nobody including you or I know what goes on in the players head, they are told how to present themselves on tv and interviews, maybe stick to the topic in hand, I don’t care much for politics or world events or world predictions, we all want the same thing and that’s to win, thanks for you’re input the football part.
