    Wenger should only currently be judged on his last 7 years as an average manager who has ridden his luck.

    Before that he was pretty great tbf, he won stuff and set the precedent for the football that we see most of the time in the PL today.

    No-one should be questioning his previous achievements.

    Easiest way is to ask whether you would have taken Balotelli this summer instead of Podolski and Giroud - a question I think most would have the same answer to, and it doesn't favour the Italian.
    He's a project yes, but potentially you have a world beater on your hands...so it's a risk vs reward thing.

    As for the question, a better one would be if people were asked if they wanted Giroud signed, would they have said yes, I reckon most would have said no thanks let's find something top quality and proven.

    The mistake was selling Van Persie, not replacing him with Giroud. Once you sell a player of Van Persie's calibre, of which there are maybe only 3 players in the world on the same / better level (Messi, Ronaldo, Falcao) he becomes impossible to replace. As we're learning, of course.

    Giroud was a good signing as his performances so far have shown and will only continue to get better. The fact that we have a thread slating him after less than 20 starts for us is proof that most football fans today are glory hunting filth.

    I'd suggest Adams' forte was on the pitch and that Wenger let the players deal with the match side, in terms of motivation and in terms of being able to react to events due to their experience and determination...we've already seen that Wenger hasn't a clue when it comes to tactics, motivation and substitutions.

    I'm sorry but I know longer rate the guy that highly, he's gone too long without delivering anything. IMO any big club would be foolish to employ him if they want success on the pitch.
    so apart from introducing the players to broccoli - what do credit him with?
