THE WENGER THREAD

[hugh jardon]

And who is in the slightest bit surprised that Lord Wenger will let another transfer window pass us by without a single significant signing. If your bonus was linked to the profits you make the club, you might keep your hands in your pockets too.

The sad thing is its now at the stage where even if he does spend up to £15m I just know it'll either be on the latest 18 year old wizard from Palace or Southampton, or some fucking useless twat who having spent the most of his career scratching around in the French 2nd and 3rd divisions finally has one average season in Ligue 1 and gets all this prayers answered with a passport to riches forever after from the Self Harmer

Does he get a bonus linked to general profits or player trading profits, two very different things in my mind

i.e I know managers in the pl in the past have made bonuses on player sales.

From what supposed 'people in the know' tell me it is the latter.

If it is true then that's fuckin disgraceful.

I have always maintained on here that as much as I agree he should go I draw the line at insulting him, but if this is true I may have a few insults saved up that can be projected his way

It baffles me why any club would allow this, it's surely a conflict of interests

There is no conflict of interests at Ar$£nal PLC - their only interest is profit!

Sadly this is very true

Which is exactly why the Self Harmer and Stan are made for each other and why neither is going anywhere fast

"Those available on the transfer market will not help us win games."

Does that quote apply to those we are letting go - Djourou, Chamack, Arshavin, et al ?
How many years has it taken him to realise ?

[armchair]

AW - I believe the Premier league is very competitive

Reporter - How many teams are in the title race?

AW - I dont know.....


SSN tonight

If it did apply to them I could imagine there was a very loud "CLANG!!" sound as the fucking penny finally dropped for him.

But, alas, I think he is refering to the players available to buy. And Arsene is very careful, he doesn't like to sign shit players that contribute nothing and fester away at the club on 50 - 80K a week and - oh, hang on...

"keeping theo walcott is my most important january deal":

http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/footbal ... 36771.html


what most annoys me are these little pearlers:

“First of all we have to make sure the players who are here stay here, and after we look outside,”

“Let’s try first to finalise with Theo and after that if we need something else, we will go somewhere else, but our first priority is that. The most important players for us are those who are here. Those available on the transfer market will not help us win games."

“Many players want to join us but at the moment all these players are under contract"

absolutely ridiculous comments in that article.

what an absolute joke, so the club is made up of one person who can only do one thing at once. whilst this one person is thrashing out the deal with walcott they cannot do anything else. what a fucking joke AW and us as a club have become.

players are under contract, well thats why you have to buy a player rather than wait until they are not under contract.

theos contract and new signings are mutually exclusive, we cant do the latter until the former has been agreed. what BS. our need for new blood is regardless of theo going or not. if he goes we need one more than we already need simple as that.

im sure he spouts this crap just to wind up the fans as its so stupid i cant see it for anything but our own manager wumming us as its so ridiculous.

un fucking believable

Arsene has absolute disdain for anyone who supports the club. How dumb does he think we are. Is Dick Law locked in a room with theo 24/7??

We'll never get any kind of honesty from this club.

[northbank123]

Thing is we've let the Walcott thing drag on so long now and he's on the verge of leaving so Wenger will gladly spin his (and the club's) complete incompetency and failure to learn from past mistakes as a new signing.

[falkirk goon]

I think this bastard just comes away with all the pish he spouts to wind us up from his aftermatch interviews to the shite he comes away with ala transfers i hate this fucker more and more everyday

Apologies if this has been posted else where.....from F365.com....


Strange stuff from Arsene Wenger about Michu this morning.

He's quoted as saying: "We had heard of him. He was a guy who disappeared a little bit. He was in clubs where he was bombed out and so you always think: 'OK, he doesn't make it there, why should he make it here?'

"You needed to know really deeply the market in Spain to do that. Michael Laudrup did that because he worked there in Spain and has connections."

Michu's career path began at Real Oviedo, for whom he played 100 times, then to Celta Vigo, where he made another 100-odd appearances, and to Real Vallecano for a season, who of course sold him to Swansea for a knock-down price because they didn't have enough money to pay the gas bills.

Could Arsene point out which of those clubs 'bombed out' Michu?

And we're not sure it took Laudrup's network of contacts to spot that the player who scored 15 times (the most of any midfielder in La Liga) for a pretty poor side would be a decent acquisition, particularly for £2million. This isn't exactly 20/20 hindsight talking here, is it?

Like we said...strange.

Definitely getting more critical reception from the media these days...

[clockender1]

'OK, he doesn't make it there, why should he make it here?'

three words :

Bergkamp Vieira Henry.


The guy is senile - "there is no one in the market that would help us win games " is spot on.

because i'm still manager he should of added...

I wish that Spurs tranny could give Arsene a good fisting!

Or we could actually ask him how that line of thought could apply to the signing of below average al who was 3rd choice at celta Vigo but was signed and ended up as our number 1 keeper for 3 fcuking seasons
How I rue the day that the almunia for England campaign fell apart

[armchair]

Wenger getting slated on SSN. Charlie, Merse and Phil Thompson.

Only saying what we've been saying for years......

Suppose they've got an axe to grind just like Stuart Robson or maybe they're just telling the truth at last?
