The world is laughing at our ridiculous manager and, by extension, laughing at our club. Justifiably so, because all this list proves is that Wenger is a disaster when it comes to transfers.
What are you talking about? He turned Henry into a striker, bought Vieira for peanuts and told everyone to eat their greens.Quote:

Apparently Wenger met with Mbappe and his family 18 months ago and he turned them down because he didn't want to pay 7-8m euros. :lol:

If he was such a great talent spot most of these players would end up at Arsenal, the fact they don't suggest he doesn't rate that that highly, after all we coughed up a fair amount for dud kids over the years.Quote:

He's as good a talent spotter these days as the average fan.
Ox revealing why he left. A hint in there about wenger not being able to get te boys playing and up for it.

"That is massive and that is definitely a big plus when you are looking to progress and have that relationship with the manager. That definitely helps.
"And obviously the way his teams play - he gets the boys playing. That is definitely inspirational for me.
"It was one of the instrumental - if not the instrumental - reasons why I felt this place was definitely the place for me."
None of those eleven are top top top qualiteeeeeeeeee, and also as well, there is no resale value. We have Coquelin and Walcott who can play there.Quote:

His talent history in the last 12 years is full of calamities. hanging on to dross while allowing quality to slip from his fingers due to his dithering and inability to get rid of players who are clearly hurting the team. Who else will keep Almunia as 1st keeper for 5 seasons. Pair calamity Senderos and Djourou for 3 seasons, refuse to buy a quality CDM after Gilberto was lost to old age.?
His last refuge now is in excuses and deflections. Blaming the system that works for everyone else but somehow not him. Didnt we go for eons with a tranfer window all day of the year. No-one died as a result. It is only because football (sports) are considered special employment, otherwise astute lawyers could justifiably prove that any window is enslavement and unlawful. Could Siemens or Google hold any employee against their will.
The real tragedy of Wenger is that his players are the first to suss him out as a fake and a bullshitter. They all have first hand or close hand knowledge of how other football managers and teams operate. They know Wengers methods are barmy and clueless and in the main destined to fail at the real top end. He hates the transfer window because it allows players to escape his lunatic asylum at the first opportunity. If players can see progress, why wont they stay to see the project through. Ill give him one thing, he knows how to sell a good story to players who are about to join and did not do due diligence on the others currently under his wing. The good players will leave the great players no longer want to join. Ozil must have wished for the warmth of the Madrid bench than signing up for 4 years of fuckuppery with this dingbat manager. Only yamheads like Walcott will love to stay 2 decades or more, moderately talented numbskulls like Ramsey are also looking to bail, after being the main beneficiary of his no instruction career derailment academy.
The end is nigh. Wenger simply cant help himself now. He will stick with his barmy methods like an addict hooked on crystal meth. An intervention is the only thing that can save this man from taking us down to Shiloh with him.
It cracks me up how often he shares these stories. He's either a poor judge and can't spot real talent or maybe we've got a bunch of world beaters Wenger has ruined. :lol:Quote:
