because that quote comes directy after being knocked out of a cup, so its likely to be arsene giving his players some form of pick up.
even if we look at it at face value, are you seriously suggesting, that arsene wenger, after what he has won, would if you asked him, fourth place or league champions would say fourth place is first trophy.
given when he said that quote, its much more likely to be spin after a match to help pick his players up. because the quote from this year with 4th place is a trophy says this.
"there are five trophies, league, CL, top four, fa cup, league cup"
united arent bankrolled either.
ive never pretended he is blameless, of course he has made mistakes, however, hes a winner. if you met him in ten years time and asked him what was his proudest moment at arsenal, he would not say getting top four in x year, but winning x trophy. probably the unbeatables.
he is principled and thats both good and bad, this is where gazidas fails. if arsene says x player is only worth x million, im not paying, gazidas should turn round and go, im ceo, i control the money im paying y money. wenger wont turn round and not play the player
there are a lot of debates to be had about wenger, but debating wether he wants to win or get top four is not one of them.
But he's said 4th is an achievement right? It's like winning trophy as he puts it?
I just watched an interview where Mourinho has openly said he doesn't want his players to feel as though the Europa League is their competition. It should be considered a disappointment. When our manager is talking about 4th place being an achievement over a domestic cup, it's sending out the wrong message. It sets a low standard in the dressing room because he sets it up as if it's an achievement. Just imagine if your teacher and parents said you should aim for a job in McD's and be content with that? What does that say about your ability?
Wtf does this have to do with transfer news, bore off you broken record motherfuckers![]()
