So Wenger's not really a football economist, he seems to be a bit of an idiot in that respect, but he's a decent enough fund manager. Lots of growth for his shareholders. Well done. No wonder they want him here forever.
Fair point, maybe fund manager is more appropriate, the professor isn't so smart after all, it was all an illusion, but he does speak about 6000 languages, maybe so he can make sure he can make bids under the market rate and insult selling clubs by doing so in their own language.

In reality he's becoming the laughing stock of the football world but either he doesn't see it or he doesn't care.
