Match Mehaction: Watford 2 Arsenal 1

Wenger was looking at Mahrez, not Kante. Kante wasn't a player who fit into his plan. Neither was Vidal, the player who could have finally replaced Vieira. It's almost as if the old fart now views these types as vulgar.

We tried to sign Kante NQ, predictably we bulked at his wage demands. I read an article with direct quotes from Kante last season stating that we were his first choice but we refused to meet his wage demands and off he went to Chelsea.

Kante is a world class player, he was brilliant for Leicester and France that season so why we felt the need to start messing about with the financials is beyond me. He would have massively improved our team. This kind of shit will continue to happen with Wenger in charge because he prioritises his own principles above the needs of improving the team.

Oh and FWIW I have read in various places Kante earns 120k per week.
