Arsenal chief Gazidis: Players know time for talk now over

Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis says time for talk about the 'potential' of Arsene Wenger's team is now over.

"The road we have chosen is a challenging one," he acknowledged to the Guardian. "It involves developing young players we believe can form the basis of a world-class team over the next five years.

"And at times along that path we have had to pay for player development through points. Certainly the team needs to turn potential into real results; they know it is time to step up."

Build a winning team over the next five years? What has Wenger been doing over the PAST five years? LOL. Arsenal I told you, fire Wenger and bring in Manuel Pellegrini. But now it is too late he is at Real Madrid, a club with actual ambition.
