Wenger is shit and destroys defenders. That's the primary concern. Every player will improve once we get shot of that fuck.

I rated Per and even think there is an argument that his best years were for us.
Slow of body, slightly faster of brain, on the whole - dog shit. That would be the fairest summary. Was it all his fault? Certainly no. We all know who the main culprit is.Quote:

The more general point is he got a load of caps for one of the best international sides around while he was playing - they won one world cup, the previous 2 they lost in the semi-finals.
You don't do that if you're not any good. He wasn't the paciest but his reading of the game was fantastic and that made up for it.
Old has been French defenders are Wengers speciality. Silvestre, Squillaci even Gallas was on the decline when we got him. Wenger as usual thinks he knows best. He was a defender (average) in his own time. So thinks he can spot a good one. Epic fail mostly. and when he buys up and coming talent. He ruins them within 2 seasons with his clueless coaching. His ego wont allow him to delegate this to people who actually know how to defend. like Bould, Keown. Instead he comes out with gems like "we are an offensive team, so sometimes our defending can be suspect". Congealed incompetence, masquerading as wisdom.
:lol: Spot on, average defender.Quote:

The whole thing is an very embarrassing failed exercise.
Those German sides made up for his defficiencies rather than him helping them succeed, an average defender who got lucky and got to play in one of the most talented sides around, good thing his CB partner was rather better, if you're that good you can carry the odd passenger most of the time.Quote:
