We needed a defender, we signed a defender.
I don't need to 'defend' that, it's obviously a good thing.
But, of course, Wenger is a wrinkly old French **** so now things are looking better you lot have to scrabble around making up reasons why everything is still wrong.
Cheer up, we might slip up today, or soon anyway

Arsene Wenger says Gabriel's lack of
English 'a problem' for Arsenal
Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger says £11m signing Gabriel Paulista's English is "very bad"
and "a problem", but may still give the Brazilian his debut against
Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.
The 24-year-old centre-half joined from Spanish club
Villarreal last month.
Wenger previously said that Gabriel's poor English could cost his side
goals.
"When you don't speak English and you don't understand 'Come out, come back,
right, left', it is a problem for a defender," Wenger said.
"You need to know the key words. Offside. Referee. Foul."
The Gunners host the Championship leaders in Sunday's fifth-round tie
(kick-off 16:00 GMT).
German defender Per Mertesacker could be rested for the game, with Gabriel
expected to play in his place.
Wenger says the Brazilian has "the physicality and motivation" and "an
opportunity to show that now".
The Frenchman, who managed Japanese club Grampus Eight immediately before
becoming Arsenal boss in 1996, sympathised with Gabriel's communication
difficulties and added that not understanding the local language can actually
have an advantage.
"The players are always under tremendous pressure because everything they do
is analysed by the pundits and the press," Wenger added.
"The modern player has to live with that - resistance to stress has to be
stronger than it was 10 years ago.
"He (Gabriel) will not read the press. He will just focus on his game - that
is one of the advantages.
"When I was in Japan, people could say what they wanted."
Wenger
It is true Tbf, although that probably wouldn't have been a problem if we'd signed him in August instead of fucking around and waiting for a crisis first.
Given that the general consensus here seems to be that Wenger is a clueless old duffer without an ounce of technical nous, it's probably a good thing if players can't understand a word he is saying.
Somebody dig up a picture of Simple Jack, stat !Who cares what Paulista looks like? As long as he can play I am cool with that.
