WENGER interview admits to summer of discontent

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Going by the recent quotes by wenger I wonder what will happen if Stoke and Cheklski spank us?

I don't get this obsession with how much he earns. Who cares? Someone will come up with his 'hypocrisy' regarding money, but who in their right mind would turn that down? Blame the board for paying him that much.

For me he could be on 10 pence, it wouldn't make his decisions any better.

You could go back and look at when we signed every player in the squad and find that other clubs wanted the same players (Diaby for example) but they were not signed as duds. Some worked out and others didn't - ladies and gents, it's the world of fucking football. The extended contracts are due to the thought that the players still have it in them to do the business, again, some work, some don't.
Please name one member of the current squad with an extended contract who you could honestly say has resale value.

I am waiting with bated breath....

I am quoting you here Kiwomya. You said 'every player in the squad'.

Questions.

1. Who wanted Denilson? Who??
2. Who wanted Bendtner? Who???
3. Who wanted Chamakh!!! Oh I forgot, we fought off Sunderland's offer for him, my mistake... :roll:
4. Who wanted Choo Young!!! Oh the Korean army, I forget...judge him in May 2013...
5. Who wanted Koscielny? Go on name one team.
6. Mannone's contract was extended because....oh...who wanted him again?
7. Flapianski. He got an extended deal. Was that to ward off that offer from Real Madrid?
8. DIABY. The example you use. True Chelsea wanted him when we signed him. BUT. When he was given his new extended contract, name one team that showed ANY interest in this clown. Name it. Oh that's right: there were none. So instead of letting his contract lapse and spending that elsewhere, he was given £60k a week.
9, When Alex Thong got his extended deal just over a year ago, WHO WANTED HIM? Name please?
10. When Almunia got a new deal over 2 years ago that gave him big pay, who wanted him?
11. When ROSICKY got that extended contract coming off 2 years on a treatment table, name one pub side that woulda taken a punt on him please? Just one? With an injury record like that!!!

So you see, I've even been nice and left out shit signings like Shitachi, Gervinho, etc cos bad signings happen (though no one wanted these players)....

For me it is the EXTENDING of the contracts of players who

a: Are clearly shit.
b: No one wants.

That's why we had to farm Denilson and Bendtner out on loan and continue to pay most of their wages! That is also why Chamakh is still at the club, a mercenary sub on £60k a week as no one will match his wages...

You get far too excited by your blinkered hate for Arsenal. Does every post have to contain something degrading about a player?

I simply don't have time to dig out explanations to each question you ask. If you want the answers I suggest you look. I'm sure you can find articles about Chamakh being wanted by Chelsea, Chu Young linked with Liverpool blah blah blah. If links to other clubs qualifies them as better players then fucking good for you my friend. I fail to see what you are getting at anyway.

One question you do now seem stuck on is the one about contract extensions. You only want to slag off Diaby and Rosicky and players that haven't been a great success but fail to note that players like Wilshire have signed extensions. Doesn't fit in with your argument though does it?

Oh great example.

Now. If you could please tell me which of Tom Vermaelen and Ledley ow King/Jonathan Woodgate has started more league matches over the past year, I would be thrilled to know just how that little thing in your head works?

Great AKBesque attempt at giving some semblance of 'logic' to Wenger's pathetic decisions. Massive FAIL though...

I've proved the wonderful imbecility of your initial post and your assertion that 'every' was clearly a joke. My work is done here.

Oh and PLEASE YOU find the link linking Chamakh to Chelsea etc and please cite the verifiable sources etc....and gimme a shout once you've done that yah?

Outrageous admition from him, he knew half the team wanted out and still started the season in complete limbo, at any other club he would be sacked, its negligent.

Oh one more comment fucko: you seem to confuse Arsene Wenger with Arsenal FC. A classic JCL trait is to mistake virulent abuse of Wenger with abuse of Arsenal. Once you get your head out of Arsene's arse, you'll notice that I hate that c*** but love this club.

Or do you think talking about and watching a team that can't even beat a Steve Kean Blackburn is fun?

Tool.

Thomas Vermaelen.
Vermaelen has ZERO sell on value until he proves he can play 6 games on the trot without being injured!

Wenger plays the high ground with morals....ie: 'We' do things the right way, I don't walk away from a contract etc etc but he is a lying *word censored*! Week after week he lies to the lifeblood of the club. I despise the bullshitter, and pray for the day something happens and he leaves our club by whatever means necessary. He is a lying fool, a lying prick, a lying wanker.

Yeah point proven. I'm embarassed.

Verifiable sources? You mean that your vague attempts at "facts" (i.e wages, stories about players could have gone to Arsenal but didn't) are from verifiable sources? Verified by who? An equally morbid character who can do no better than slag off a team he apparently supports?
