jdckelly Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Arsenal have 14 coaches. And Wenger doesn't listen to any of them. However, they are very similar in what they coach and how they coach it and they're all geared towards producing 1 style of football. They do it so each coach can oversee a smaller group of players and provide more feedback. Pretty much 'class size/teacher' type of deal. They work a lot on passing, movement and movement of the football '3 second averages' over the course of the training session is what they aim for (which again is why they have all those coaches keeping an eye on their group so they can see if a player is retaining the ball longer than 3 seconds or not). Interesting, didn't know that. NO way on earth our coaching is upto scratch. Think Wenger got pissy about Bould getting credit at the start of the season re Arsenals sudden ability to defend so he apparently kinda sidelined him and suddenly Arsenal can't defend again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you watch Anita now that he is coming into his game you can see how much pitch intelligence he has compared to say Tiote, that is no coincidence and has been drilled into him since youth.

Tooj Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Only found out the other day that the legendary FM scout Pablo Longoria who's about 25 now was hired by us when he was 21. Impressive that like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them love it, most aren't too interested. I can certainly see the benefits to learning your opponent, though, the key points at least.

Tooj Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Raising this issue again, I think one thing we certainly seem to be missing out on is at boardroom level having somebody that knows football. Of course Llambias is never going to challenge Ashley and this is probably why we'll never get somebody with a bit of football nous appointed too. Remember when there were rumours of David Dein being appointed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 A few years ago when Boro looked like going down. Did Gibson not bring in Venables to help thier manager and save them from the drop, Maybe we need to do something like that and bring in someone to help Pardew, until the end of the season . As i still think we have enough good players to get us out ot trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, maybe he'd walk if that happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Need more leaders on the pitch, more like. Suspect if the only signing we made this Jan was to bring back Nolan, we'd probably stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Arsenal have 14 coaches. We have 6, of which 3 are fitness coaches. So I don't think a beefed up backroom is important at all. The main man and the assistant are the ones that one has to look at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Gerry Francis must be a shoe in for our new coach... if this idea is not absolutely completely dead in the water, like our goal scoring centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 How many scouts do we actually have? I'm convinced it's Graham Carr on his own? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thought we have a bunch of scouts but based in different countries.. like Asprilla who just recommend players or us to look at and then its up to Carr to take it further, obviously Carr does his own work based on these type of talent spotters and his contacts.

Belfast Mags Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 GC is the only scout I'm aware off. Certainly every player we've signed in recent times has come from him. Depends on how you classify a scout though. He's the only contracted/officially paid one I know off. We may have other scouts on a retainer basis etc, or have contacts in other countries, but if we do, they're not doing a very good job, given the lack of players we've signed from non-GC channels.
