i dont know about you Zimm but im pretty sure he has changed his methods in the last year. signing proven players, arteta, merts, santos, cazorla, podolski instead of youngsters unless they are special like the ox.
rice has gone, we know have bould, wenger didnt have to promote him but he did, thus thats a change in his ideas etc. in the last year we have seen a more ruthless wenger, you only to have look at song and sagna, we have seen the best team spirt since 2006. there has been a massive change in his ideas, we will see the success or failure of them more this year then last year but i think we all agree he has changed his ideas and how to go about them
