I have to say yes to the thread title.
It isn't a coincidence anymore.

Seriously?? you really think that we couldn't have done better than a 31 year old nobody with a fucked back that has yet to play a game for the club and was a pointless signing??!!
what a fucking joke of a statement!
Wenger bottled it plain and simple.
30 days to add some cover/squad depth and we ended up with nothing.
Even Berbatov for £2.5m would have been better business than the shit we got served up.
Exactly. I find it hard that in 30 days he couldn't find someone better than Bendnter/Giroud/Sanogo.
Berbatov has technical ability, great with the ball at his feet and he's bloody good at scoring. Giroud is a useless lump who can't even hold the ball up.
Just looked at a few clips of him from Fulham,

Can't believe we didn't atleast go for him.![]()

I honestly cannot belive that Wenger is still rated as one of the best managers in the world?
He has a fantastic legacy with us of course, but in the last 10 years what has he achieved exactly?
10 seasons that you can call before they start and no trophies, getting spanked by top teams and made to look like a bit of a joke doesn't really warrant such high regard IMO.
Are people really not fed up with the same discussions year after year?
This subject keeps coming up every season. Wenger is the only constant in all these years.
We still have problems with not getting the basics right - tactics, defence, substitutions, mentality.
We still see the same lack of progress on the pitch.
We still see the same lack of strengthening in the transfer market to which there is always an excuse as to why we didn't do anything (Ozil is the exception but should have been in addition to other signings)
Wouldn't anyone like to start next season with some renewed hope and optimism, a little uncertainty of something new and different in regards to management, and a new approach to club and team??
I for one, long to have something new to talk about, discuss and experience.

Nothing majorly wrong with his transfer dealings, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fucking mug.
What is wrong, has been for some time, and is now unforgivable, is the lack of respect, attention to detail and tactics for another club.
You can't just send your side out to play the same way each week, and not get found out.
I just don't get why the stupid idiot doesn't change tact!

Nothing wrong with his transfer dealings? He had to get in a striker and a defensive mid in the summer. He didn't. When you have to play a 20 year old from France league 2, against Bayern Munich in the champions league, it shows Wenger fucked up.
And yeah, and during the game he sits on his arse doing fuck all. He just sits there, doesn't change anything. We could all see the middle of our pitch was far too open at the start, just take Arteta off there and then and bring on Flamini. If he changed the game with subs when we were 2 down atleast, we might have had a chance of getting something. But he waits, and waits, till the team gets fucked even more to do anything.

Ok.
You can't get saurez.
Do you reckon Higuain (sp) was the answer?
Bent?
50mil?
What about trying to tempt....erm, who exactly???
Go on. Name names.....please, because if you could tell me exactly who we should have spent mega bucks on, who wooild have suited the team, then I'm happy to be proved wrong.
The team is good enough NOT TO GET BEATEN BY A FUCKING CRICKET SCORE OVER AND OVER.

Well we were linked to so many players over the summer who would have improved the team.
Higuain for starters. All we needed was pace uptop. £26m and he was ours. His goalscoring record speaks for itself.
Defensive midfield, Bender/Gustavo. Around £20m there.
And a left sided winger, like the Brazillian Bernard who we were linked all summer with, because Cazorla is being pushed out wide and Podolski is useless. There is no viable outlet on our left hand side, it's too predictable to play against when only our right side has pace (Ox/Gnabry)
All of which would cost us £60m or so, we spent £40m on Ozil when we had other areas of the squad more in need of strengthening.
Strikers who we could've got in the summer? Higuain, Costa, Benteke, Lukaku.
Strikers he could've got in the winter window (short term), berba, mirallas, pato.

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
