Our Managing Director, Keith Edelman , has left the club, some sources say his time was up as he had done the job he was employed to do, (build a new stadium and move into it,) other theories state that main shareholder Danny Fiszman pushed him out because of his inability to attract top class players to Arsenal.
What ever the shenanigans within Arsenal FC, we the supporters are at a loss as to how a team that nearly every pundit in Europe have stated play the best,most entertaining, most attractive and thrilling football in any league, can be heading towards the end of the season in 3rd place, with an empty trophy cabinet.
Being the type of fans that we are, we are used to everyone else targeting us with bad humour,bad press and general derision, we put it down to the fact that alot of the snipers are just a little bit green with envy at everything that Arsenal have acheived.It is hard to find the truth in certain matters, just look at todays Telegraph, ‘ Mathieu Flamini to leave Arsenal for AC Milan .’ Have a good read and make up your own mind, we call it the Silly Season, it’s when every talented Gunner is the target of every type of transfer targe, usually fabricated by immoral agents who are only concerned about their lucrative fees…remember Cashley ?
We all remember this…Captain fantastic doing what he did best…winning trophies and keeping all the players on track.
Now we know we are biased, TA is a Vice President of our Supporters Club, but here is an example of the best type of footballer that Arsenal have ever produced, Mr Adams rose up through the ranks, had a few stumbles along the way, (no one is perfect,) yet is now firmly a legend within all Arsenal fans hearts, so the question has to be…who broke the mould ? Why can’t we produce more players like this ?
There seems to be a missing link within the current squad, we have brilliant individuals who can play other teams off the pitch, but what we seem to lack is real leadership, a strong personality who will walk up to Arsene and say ‘ give me the captains armband…I am good enough, let me prove it to you and all the fans.’ Gallas, is good, Kolo is good, Fab is Fab ( a natural born leader ? maybe…just maybe…) but it seems we are searching for the ’spark’, that bit of magic that seperates the leaders from the led.
