Yes
No
And i dont disagree, They were fucking dull but they won and everyone on here would take that here in a second.
Its been 5 years since he left there though and hes adapted his game. Real play the best football around. Id rather look at that then what he did 5 years ago
i dont think he hsould, i blame the board. if there is the 50 or even 100m to spend as said then let him stay one more summer, sort the board out and get them out. give wenger one more season, telling him that only a trophy will do or he is out. get rid of the shit, get quality in. change pat rice for bould or even Dennis. i think he can do it, only if there is guarenteed money and the board fuck off.
It's always one more season with Wenger, he's been getting one more season for a while now, sadly the guy can't cut it at the top anymore now...that's been proven, his time has past and he needs to move on.
We need some fresh blood, some new ideas, someone who knows what they're doing and is tactically astute....he's become a one trick pony who's trick everyone has seen and knows.
It makes no sense to give him all that money for one more round at the poker table. Sentiment has to be thrown aside. We spent £60m on the transfer window and look at the results.
Merts and Santos are broken already.
Park has yet to start a Premier League game.
Arteta and Gervinho have no end product and are pretty average.
Yossi spends most of his time on the bench.
And he's only just started playing the Ox in the second half of the season even though he made an impressive start in the Carling Cup and Champions League months ago.
He can't be trusted with £60m what difference will £100m make? Our injury record is still shocking; his judgment on players and team selection is still off, our defensive record hasn't improved even though we have bought 5 defensive players over the last two seasons....he's had one season too many.
I don't trust him in the transfer market anymore either. No doubt he has unearthed some rough diamonds ie. Kos, but if someone could whip up a list of his last 15 signings (coz I can't be arsed), those diamonds are few and far between now IMO. Will he go out there and buy us a catalyst player, Hazard, Gotze etc...? I doubt it. More likely to raid a reserve team and get another Eisfeld. That's WUMger at his best.
The problem is that everyone has a scouting network on the same level now, and Arsenal and Arsene Wenger are no longer the same draw.
