Well I've just been appointed as Arsenal Manager, it's a great honour and I'm hoping I can make the gooners happy. My first tasks will be meeting with the board and with my assistant, and deciding on his duties. I will then be evaluating my squad and staff and decide who is going to face the chop, because there are some seriously overpaid players in the arsenal squad and there is a serious lack of depth in some areas. I'm thinking I need a good, young CB who will develop well, a new right back as Sagna is a little bit past it and I think it's worth cashing in now before his value drops, and I don't think Jenkinson will be good enough as a first team regular. I also think I'll need a new striker as back up for Giroud, but with the potential to develop into first choice in a few seasons, not sure that is realistic though with my transfer budget. Possibly a new LW as Podolski is very overpaid and the money could be used better elsewhere. Also considering Walcott's future as he is on a massive wage and not sure his stats show he's worth it. Might wait until January and see how he's done though. Left back is also a problem area, as Monreal seems to have some of the stats and Gibbs the others, wish they were one player. I might delay that decision until next summer though, give them both a chance. Well anyway on first impressions that's what I feel are my priorities. Should update later tonight with a bit of progress. Oh I need to develop my tactic as well, not sure arsenal are sold enough at the back to not play a DM but we'll see. Sorry if this is a bit rubbish, I've never done one of these before and I'm not a terrific Football Manager anyway so this will be a challenge for me! Thanks for looking

Aye I've now accepted the bid, got some targets lined up, gonna try and keep things relatively young so the incoming player can grow and also possibly be sold at a profit down the line.

Edit; Consider this a hostile takeover of your career.

Edit edit; Obviously this post was meant for my own career and I got them mixed up, regardless, you have some big transfer plans in place, don't change too much at once though. Good luck with it.

Yeah I was worried about overdoing it. Will try and balance it, just don't want to miss out on any players I want!
