It seems the latest AKB excuse for keeping Wenker has been the signing of Sanchez. "We wouldn't have signed him without Arsene"
Funny one that as I used to hear the same about Ozil, before everyone woke up and realised that Ozil never really wanted to be here
Sanchez is a wonderful player but he wasn't attracted to Arsenal because of 4th placed Wenger: living in London and getting £120k a week is what swayed it. Playing in the CL is obv important but as has been repeated here, considering Arsensl have the 3rd highest wage bill in England, that's a minimum expectation. What I think ppl need to look towards are his not so big money signings of the past 4/5 years. Giroud, no. Welbeck, hell no. The infamous trolley dash that landed us with useless Merteslacker, Arteta and Santos. His transfer record is woeful. One thing I think is even more woeful and unforgivable is just what a shit state our youth system has become under him. We are wasting £17m on mediocrity like Welbeck when I'm certain that kid of ours at MK Dons could so just as well. We've not produced a single youth player of note in over 10 years. Wilshere? Please. Potential but nowhere near elite level.
I was thinking the other day about players who've left Arsenal like eg Kyle Bartley. Watched him for Swansea v West Ham Sunday and he looks competent, totally different player. I see players who looked utterly useless under Le Fraud look competent elsewhere (even Forehead FFS).
One thing that disgusts me is the way he ruins kids. Remember what he did to Jenkinson at OT in the 8-2? There was Alex Mong getting pelters from fans at Fulham away back in 09 think it was, the poor kid chucked in as a sacrificial lamb. Then there's Chambers, who just looks totally shot post the Swansea roasting. And the worst thing?
Every time a result like Stoke happens, Wenker is such a selfish, manipulative spunkbot that he chucks the kids under a bus
"The defending was very naive and not acceptable"
Yep. It's all their fault innit Mr Magoo?
Added to that, Arsenal might as well sack the entire scouting department. Grimandi is the only person allowed to speak to Wenker meaning that scouting in eg South America is totally alien to the club. Clubs with far less resources like Porto, Benfica etc scout way better. Citeh have cash but their 3 best players IMO are Zabaleta (£5m), Kompany (£6m) and Aguero (£35m). That's outstanding. These are players that last years in your side - where the fuck are ours? I see one potentially, and that's Koscielny and Ox was good value. But they're not the backbone of a side FFS.
So again, why is this spunk-bubble on £8m p/a? What for?
Youth system: shite
Scouting: pointless.
Value for money: used to be his forte, now getting mugged for Welbeck etc
Trophies: LOL
Style of play: pathetic, predictable, pedestrian
Mental resolve: Hahahaha
WHY THE FUCK IS HE HERE?
