Wenger's a much, much better manager than Pellegrini, chequebook Mourinho or whatever other cunt that the daily mail promote. Don't forget that. When's the last time Wenger bought an established, quality striker? He thinks it's a position he needs to mould potential. We don't think Sanogo, Alexis, Campbell and Walcott are it but let's see.
It's squad depth more than anything. Having Sanogo anywhere near a starting place is the problem, he should be 4th or 5th choice vying with Akpom for cup games. Walcott is always injured, what's to say that trend won't continue? Alexis is 5' 9'' up against PL Neanderthals - a challenge to say the least. Campbell is an option but surely not for the starting spot if the club is really chasing a major honour? Giroud is it right now, realistically. Now he's injured and Wenger is talking up Sanogo. That's not really good enough, is it? At least one more dedicated striker required if we want to see out a long season. Just makes sense.
Well you have it all figured out on paper, but let's see the results. I think Alexis will kill it.Quote:

There always seems to be an assumption that he'd do better with a bigger budget but that's not always the case. Just look at David Moyes.Quote:

He`s a good manager,,,but I doubt history will classify him as great.Quote:
