And you are pretty much lying about Dennis only being here for 2 months before Wenger (though it doesn't matter really, be it a day or month or whichever), as he did join around the middle of 95 whils Wenger came here in 96.

Anyway, despite your condescending attempt, my point still stands - Wenger never did entirely (once again, operative word here for those who are doctorate level at misconstueing post) build a title winning team with only players he brought in. He's been at it since 05 or 06; I'd say time is running out on him, and at a brisk pace too.
I don't think he's capable tbh. He's tried on multiple occasions and has always fallen predictably short. The 07-08 was when he came closest, but even then we collapsed at the end, as did the 09-10/10-11 squads. No one's denying that he did a great job winning us the League and Cups (although I wouldn't say the Invincibles was the best Premiership side ever, that should go to the treble winning Utd squad of 1998-1999) but the true mark of a great manager has to be the ability to win back to back titles. Even when we had fantastic footballers, Wenger was never able to achieve that. After winning the league in 1997-1998, Utd went on a run of 3 consecutive titles. After 2001-2002, Utd pipped us at the end of the next season, despite us having a superior squad quality wise. After 2003-2004, Chelsea walked home with the title the next year.
