Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

Reports saying Arsene has split with his wife.

If true - very sad. For both parties.

What worries me is that he says his commitment to the club has put a strain on his life

Worries you especially when you look at the slap dash, Ill prepared way we go into games if i was manager might be understandable because I'm the kind of lazy, procrastinating fuck who'll spend all the time needed for match preparation playing football manager and watching you tube and then roll up on match day and say "yeah that'll do" .

But we know that Wenger puts in the real hours at the club, there from dawn to midnight seven days a week....where is all this effort going?.

What worries me is that a marital breakup is a massive distraction - and our Summer's poor showing in the transfer market could be evidence of that.

But they've been split for ages haven't they? I think it's just the media have found out about it now or chosen to highlight it now. The fact the kid is 18 is probably significant. Wait until the kid grows up, then call it a day. Lots of people doing that now. Doubt any of this could be used to explain his inaction during the transfer window. It's his out of touch ideas on value that seem to be the main culprit.

And they're usually such a nice bunch too. Definitely Costa's fault

Spot on if you ask me, we've probaby "almost" got the best team in history

Anthony Martial’s agent has derided Arsene Wenger over his comments on the Manchester United striker, telling the Arsenal manager: “There are those who follow players and those who buy them”.


Wenger has previously claimed that he was aware of Martial’s “huge talent” but was unwilling to spend money on a player who he viewed as more of a winger than striker.


He admitted he had been following the striker long before his United move but felt that the deal agreed by Louis van Gaal’s side showed the surfeit of talent available to top sides.

The £36 million signing has set about proving the Arsenal manager’s doubts wrong since arriving at Old Trafford, scoring four goals in as many games. And the player’s agent did not agree with the Wenger’s assessment of the 19-year-old’s best position.


“Anthony is a true modern centre-forward who can change a side.” Philippe Lamboley told RMC Sport.


“I am surprised by the analysis of Wenger, who has apparently been following him since he was a teenager. If Wenger made his analysis to justify not signing Anthony, then I accept his words and so he is a winger.


“But in football, there are those who follow footballers and those who buy them.”

A stark contrast between Wenger of old and the Wenger we are currently stuck with. Way back, When Wenger seemed to know what he was doing, there was another winger he had been following that had "huge talent". Wenger brought him in for what was a fairly significant sum at the time, and certainly a big fee by our standards, and set about the task of converting this hugely talented winger into the best striker ever to play in the PL. Henry would have been worth the £36mill (or £58mill, or whatever it is) even back then.

I hadn't heard of Martial before Utd expressed their interest. So I went and had a look and it was obvious, even to an Internet fan, this player is the real deal. The market is crazy today. £36mill isn't even a big fee any more, Liverpool blew that on Carroll years back. If you think you have big talent on your hands and you can jump in early and secure those services for maybe the next decade then you go for it.

I guess Wenger must have thought he'd identified his own gem when he saw Sanogo play. As I said, big difference between the old Wenger and the old fool we have to suffer now. He's not spotting talent and bringing it through any more, that was yesterday. Instead he's ruining potential and wasting talent, as we see with Theo, Ox, Ozil and Alexis.

Looks like Klopp is off to Liverpool. We may not have picked up Vidal or Martial, but we should at least be competing for Klopp's signature.

He's severely handicapping himself if he only wants to fish around the Benzema/Cavani pond of players, those guys will only scarcely become available. He needs to get back to basics and start developing his own as well, top players won't just fall into his hands. Maybe he's started to get lazy now he has money.

If he indeed went after Benzema, he's deluded, the guy was never available and we would never have paid the money necessary to force their hand, sometimes it just looks like he goes after players that he has realistically no chance of signing so that he can go all summer signing noone and has a ready made excuse for his lack of spending.
