2013/2014 Football Alphabet - A

A

Arsene Wenger and Arsenal – With the other big “A”, Sir Alex Ferguson, retiring at the end of the 2012-2013 season, the Arsenal manager becomes the current longest serving manager in the Premier League in what is surely yet another “crucial” season for the Gunners.

Without a trophy since 2005 and a history of selling their best players, there seems to be a different mood around the Emirates as the new season approaches. The manager himself has admitted he has more money to play with this time around and there have been some big names linked with a move to the club, with Luiz Suarez and Cesc Fabregas amongst those that have been mentioned. It remains to be seen who will sign on the dotted line but the names and amounts being talked about are clearly a statement of intent. 

With 8 trophy-less seasons behind them, Wenger will be keen to end that streak in what will be his 18th season in charge at Arsenal. If the boss can bring in 2 or 3 high calibre signings, then Gunners fans have every reason to be optimistic with the outline of a good squad already in existence. Old Trafford has seen a changing of the guard and both Manchester City and Chelsea have new managers at the helm, so it might be a perfect time for Arsenal to exploit any transition periods at those clubs.


Alphabet to be continued...
