the results have shown a tear, meaning the midfielder is likely to miss over a month of the new season. Arteta will miss the vital Champions League qualification double header against Fenerbahce as well as the opening batch of Premier League games. Arteta's thigh is just the latest injury problem for Wenger, who is already without Thomas Vermaelen, Nacho Monreal and Abou Diaby. Furthermore, Bacary Sagna is facing a race against time to be fit for the season-opener against Aston Villa on Saturday after sustaining an ankle injury whilst on international duty for France.

Nuri Sahin wrote: » Out of curiosity, as someone who has long said Arsenal and Wenger needs to go their separate ways for the past three/four years or so, IF he were to leave then who would you guys want to take over right now or well, in one years time hypothetically speaking? Just to add, in those four years or so it was always my belief that Pellegrini was the man to take over. Other names I'd have thought over the past few years would be Garcia, Villas Boas (pre-Chelsea), Blanc, Favre, De Boer or Montanier. Before you say it, Klopp is out of the question

I'm raging, Wenger doesn't know how to buy players anymore, we are a ****ing joke. These next few games are vital to us. I genuinely am sickened with Wengers behavior.

Only last Sat when arsenal where tearing man city apart in a pre season friendly a load of ppl in here where proclaiming that an assault on the EPL title was imminent. Now you're a couple of injuries away from a relegation fight apparently... Which is it? Knowing Wenger he'll probably have the squad busting out of the traps early doors and you'se will be top for the first 2-3 months.
