My one slight concern about Arsenal if they decide to sack Emery and hire someone like Mourinho. Then that could be trouble.

Yeah nah they can keep him. Know Jose has his faults but still knows how to organise a team.. Before it goes wrong after a few years. 

See if at Man U as well. Having a manager for such a long time and playing their style. Once he's gone sorta gone to pot a little.

Tbh id be more concerned if they gave Ljungberg the job which would mean they could dine on a new manager bounce with a club legend for a bit like United did (which could see them make up some points if we blip)

I think Mourinho would struggle initially (may have a good second season if he lasts that long), the crowd won't accept him and the squad (to Bellerins admission) struggled with Alexis's intensity and demand to win, no way would they cope working under Mourinho.

It's debatable. Ljungberg doesn't even have any managerial experience, unlike Solskjaer when he took over Man United, and it's tough to say he'll turn things around at Arsenal. Heck, I guess any decent manager out there would likely do a better job than the clueless Emery right now.

You never know with clubs who are desperate. Think Mourinho will do well in the short term, just not in the long term obviously.

I would be surprised. The fella is desperate to be back in a job. 

I'm sure he'd rather go to a team like Spurs. Will be really interesting to see which of the top 4 contenders gets sacked first.

But we all know Daniel Levy is not a big spender and that doesn't go down well with Mourinho. Arsenal are certainly more inclined to spend than Spurs. Think Pochettino is the safest because of the credit he has built and he signed a new contract not too long, IIRC.

We used to say the same about Arsenal and look at them in recent years. Not to mention the fact that Spurs are in a much better place to compete.

All the big clubs will have to spend big summer on summer to remain competitive, so I'd expect Levy to build on the previous window.

Levy willing to spend is one thing but how big he is willing to spend is another. For all we know, their transfer budget could be just 100 million.

It's hard to tell what Levy wants. I know Spurs have just gotten their new stadium etc but he just seems very content of being competitive and not bothered about winning trophies at all.

I guess we'll find out. If Spurs' run of poor form continues (no away league win in 2019 IIRC), the bigger names might look to do a Bale.

Levy will then have a decision to make.

Think they will do it regardless. Eriksen, Alderweireld, Vertonghen look to be heading out already. Spurs just do not have enough quality players to bridge the gap with Liverpool and Man City.

Both CB's you mentioned are getting on and Eriksen isn't exactly exciting to potential suitors this year.

 

 

Kane/Son would be two that would signal warning signs.
