THE WENGER THREAD

Sorry, the Tourettes has kicked in again......

ONE ARSENE WENGER.....THERE'S ONLY ONE ARSENE WENGER

[scotgooner]

That Wenger "it's not fair" whine about Man Utd and Mata is totally embarrassing, even by his standards. Especially for a player that OGL could and should have signed ages ago, if he'd not dithered.

This.

Just sums up what a little bitch he is.

He had no problems signing Arshavin in January a couple of seasons ago.

Perfectly OK to sell Chelsea one of the world's finest left backs for an average centre half + £5m, and to sell Van Persie to Man Utd though?

Ahhh but SteveO that was for footballing reasons remember ...

I remember those reasons well......I mean Giroud was a definite upgrade on that useless wanker Van Persie, and I've never been more proud than when our Man of Steel Gallas sat sobbing pitchside at Birmingham whilst Cole was lifting trophy after trophy down the road

No, cos Arshavin came from Zenit.

Although I do love calling out Wenger as much as the next man (who's normally called Steve )

Indeed. As much as Wenger is just moaning and talking nonsense, Arshavin was signed from a different league and Cole and RVP sold in the summer so didn't play for two different teams in the same season.

So his point (although bollocks) isn't contradicted by these signings

[Blood_Gooner]

It was a silly moan.

If he really had a bit of testicular fortitude, he'd have just blurted out that, that *word censored* Mourinho is running scared, as shown by this latest stunt.

Hard to have testicular fortitude with a man that you have never beaten in your time as a football manager

Anybody who thinks that Ozil signing shows Wenger has changed should have been given a rude awakening by his comments.

United are 14 points behind us and no threat to the title and Chelsea's squad has been weakened by the sale of a very good player. Yet the bloke can't resist a fucking moan about something that has fuck all to do with him/us. He is absolutely obsessed with transfers and money in football (despite pocketing a truly disgusting amount in return for 0 trophies in 8 seasons and counting) and his rant shows he is still incredibly stubborn and more obsessed with being morally victorious than actually winning.

And anyone who thinks Wenger isn't a panic buyer should examine the evidence as it backs-up why Ozil was bought

1. Virtual trophy under serious threat for the first time in season 08/09, with five defeats pre-Christmas including a 3-0 drubbing at City. January comes - buys Arshavin

2. August 2011 - hammered 8-2 at United and hovering outside the relegation zone after 3 games and facing a major fan backlash. Goes on the mad trolley dash signing on the plus side Arteta and Mertesacker but also fucking Santos and Park

3. Start of this season - hostile atmosphere having lost 1-3 at home to Villa....rushes out and buys Ozil

Now of course in January 2014 we sit top of the pile and barring a disaster the virtual trophy is safe once more; the very yardstick by which There's Only One is measured. So he reverts to type and buys nobody banging on about our big squad and young talent like Sanogo

Only when the VT next comes under serious threat (and it will again in a season not too far from now) will he open the chequebook once more.

To be honest the whole debate about whether this player or that player was signed by Wenger or the board is a moot point because Wiggy, Slimeball and the Self Harmer all crave the Be All and End All for their own means, so they are joined at the hip as far as the panic buys go

[northbank123]

The only players we have signed in Jan since we moved are Campbell, Arshavin and Monreal. Arshavin was the difference between the VT and 5th, Campbell was free and we were desperate for centre-half cover (he actually played a lot) and with Monreal sicknote Gibbs has just sustained a fairly serious injury and Santos had done as much as humanely possible to convince everyone that he should never lace a pair of football boots again.

Every single season our squad has been in fairly serious need of being strengthened in January. We don't buy unless we're desperate so nobody kid yourselves that we'll be making a serious signing that we need.

You've gotta remember that Wenger doesn't call these press conferences to talk about this shit. He's asked questions by the media and he's gives an opinion and I think most people understand what he was getting at. Nice to see Mourinho has matured and doesn't starting retaliating by dragging up a completely different subject....oh wait..

I don't agree about panic buying though . You have to look at the exact circumstances at those times. The amount of injuries in Jan 2009 (whilst we were on a really good run if I remember correctly), Nasri telling the club he wanted to leave late in the window in 2011... and the injuries, Wilshire long term etc.

It's been said loads of times, enquires had already taken place to sign Ozil earlier in the window but because Madrid changed manager it took time. I don't agree you can panic buy a £42M player in a matter of a day or two - plus you're talking about Arsenal who hadn't spent anywhere near that before. The team were in worse shape in 2011 so why didn't we panic buy a £40M+ player then?

[armchair]

The question should be why didnt he sign a fucking striker in the summer? Never mind anything else. Thats the bottom line right now.
Why? Cause hes a fucking incompetemt, dithering, disengenious, stubborn, lying *word censored*! Thats why

And I still maintain thats the reason why Ozil was signed. Cause Wenger failed to sign a "name". Oh, and I dont believe he signed Park either.
