Wenger has persisted season after season with a player who can't turn up to do the job he is paid to do. It's negligence on Wenger's part to retain this guy. Footballers aren't even close to the real world, are they? It's ridiculous. Marc used the word "absurd" and that's the most accurate word for this situation. And it's the most accurate word to describe Wenger's role in this. And the board's role in this. And this club. And football in general. And Letters.
