Good Ebening! On this episode of Project Re-Build we take an in depth look at Arsenal. Its been a tricky couple of years for the club from North London. Since leaving Highbury in 2006, and moving to the Emirates, Arsenal have had an indifference in fortune.
We try to pin point the moment/season where things took a turn for the worse. Was it the sale of Robin Van Persie to Manchester United? Was it Stan Kronke taking majority control? Or is it all Jens Lehmans fault for getting sent off in the 2006 Champions League final?
We go over Arsenals poor recruitment over the years, and their habit for buying players that are injured. From the good, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, to the baffling with Kim Källström. There's also the question of out goings, with Robin Van Persie not the only player to make the move the Manchester.
We assess Arsenal's leadership problems, and why having 5 captains won't fix that, and of course there's the Mesut Özil debate. All this and more, including Champions League humiliation, Unai Emery losing a one team league, shoots of recovery under Arteta, and Kolo Toure's career path. And of course we give our suggestions on how to rebuild the 13 times FA Cup and League winners.
