I think... They like DNA Barcelona.

Sampaoli (Sevilla)
Eusebio (Real Soceidad)
Valverde (Athletic Bilbao)

There are the posibilites in my opinion.

Imagine if he goes and spends £200mil in his first window <awe>

I think Pochettino would be the best choice.
Pochettino or Koeman (because of the Barca link) will get it IMO.

If they were looking for a one year stop-gap appointment while they waited for their number 1 choice then there's no reason they wouldn't go for Wenger if he doesn't renew his Arsenal contract. Considering his experience plus the fact that they wouldn't have to pay a penny in compensation I'd say he'd be a perfectly feasible choice if they did have to wait a season to get their preferred man.

Wenger has outperformed both in terms of league finishing, silverware and Europe. <scratch>

At ARSENAL. He has failed massively whereas the other two haven't.

He's been Arsenal manager for that time though. Getting drawn against Bayern every year, even when they win the group. He's more qualified for the Barca job than anyone they've appointed since Van Gaal in 2002.

Never going to happen. They'll appoint a former player or someone who hasn't been s*** for years.

I don't think they will hire Wenger, but although you'd think Arsenal could have found a way to win at some point in the last decade, it isn't as if they were ever favoured to do it, and the criticism of him often seems harsh. He maybe hasn't won trophies, but the level of consistency he's maintained is too often underrated.

Without turning this into a Wenger thread, they've still underachieved massively. The polarisation amongst fans is hardly surprising.

Think Enrique has done the right thing. He's done well during his time there.

There is a big job to be done there, clever time for Enrique to step aside.

It's an impossible job. How do you replace Iniesta, Suarez and biggest of all, Messi?

I suppose the theory is that they would have ready made replacements in their academy but I honestly haven't heard about anyone coming through.

There likely won't be another Messi for years to come anywhere in the world, so it will be hard for anyone to keep up the level of play their fans will have grown accustomed to.

Valverde. Barcelona tried to sign a couple of times.
Spanish (from Barceclona) press says that they have an agreement with him

Probably not for a few decades I'd say. I remember people talking about Munir as "the next Messi" but I haven't heard tell of him for a good while.
