THE WENGER THREAD

[Humoresque]

ONE PLAYER

ONE PLAYER in the transfer window.

Every other PL team was able to sign more than ONE PLAYER. NINETEEN OTHER TEAMS figured it out and found that magical ''quality''.

so basically Wenger is under pressure to win the league this year or else right? Because his team is already so good, so perfect that it needed the most minor of tweaking. Or was it because Arsenal are strapped of cash?


I simply can't believe how Arsenal have fallen.


TOTAL UNMITTAGATED JOKE.

Lets not kid ourselves. This time next year we'll be in the same position having played 'will he won't he' for the 20th transfer window in a row with the dunces churning out 'judge him in may' for the 10th time in a row.

I think it's likely Sanchez leaves when he recognizes that his ambition supersedes our club ala RVP, Cesc Nasri etc plus Carzola/Rosicky/Arteta will all need replacing in the squad, so we'll be in another period of transition. Still playing 'will he won't he' 'judge him in may' is so redundant at this point because everyone should be able to see that Wenger's window of opportunity to prove us wrong has passed. The last two seasons were the best chance Wenger had to win the league & he blew it, I see us declining in the coming 2 years, at which point a new manager (if Wenger does the right thing) will have mammoth task of building up a whole new squad.

Swansea only club to have spent less than us. Wonder if Wenger can take Cech back and get a refund so he can win the least spent trophy?

He won't be happy having made a net loss this summer.

He didn't buy the 2/3 players to put us in serious title contention because then he loses his last remaining excuse and anything less than a point or two off top spot it can only be down to his failure as a manager.
As it stands he can hide behind Man City and Chelsea.

Ironically Wenger, the one who was pontificating about other managers being "afraid of failure" (which is where Mourinho's "specialist in failure" tag stemmed from) is the very one afraid to take that extra step to even try to genuinely compete.
He's insulting the fans and he's insulting everthing Arsenal has ever stood for.
I hear people on here saying they still respect him for what he has done in the past. Well that ship has long since sailed for me. I now despise him for what he has done, what he has failed to do and for what he is still failing to do.
He is a greedy, arrogant, egotistical imposter and an utter, utter coward.

Totally agree hes a *word censored* of the highest order all the good things he done early in his reign are what they are and that is distant memories. The longer he hangs around the more i detest him the *word censored*.

Totally agree with this, I want Wenger out now. He has ruined his legacy to a degree BUT I don't buy the he's milking Arsenal with his salary. Wenger is not money motivated in the sense that some footballers are eg Nasri/Adebayor etc etc, so can we cut all this bullshit out.

Sometimes in our criticism of le boss, some people take things too far. Not saying you have here but others have.

You say that he is not money motivated and not milking the club dry, but how can he or anyone else justify his £8.5m per season wages ? If it isn't for on pitch glory, then would it be safe to assume that he is getting rewarded for how the club are performing without spending ? If that is indeed the case, then would you view part of his wages to be business profit incentivised ?

A sad fact of life these days Augie is top executives in large companies get rewarded for failure. Wenger is no different to anyone else, and you could argue that he hasn't done that bad. Well compared with some of the idiots that run our ftse 100 companies that is!

He has been moaning for years about silly money in football and how the bubble is going to burst - yet has been taking home north of £140,000 a week since his doomed project began in 2008.

I don't think it is entirely the case that he is milking the club because he is greedy - but his ego somehow justifies earning that silly money to him whilst not getting near delivering trophies for over half a decade yet constantly bemoaning how financially handicapped we are in comparison to our rivals.

He earns more money than any other manager around (including Ferguson before he retired). Might not be 'money-motivated' but certainly wouldn't take a penny less than he feels he is worth - which is of course grossly inflated.

Noticed how this thread has quietened down over the weekend.
Are the majority now resigned to their fate of being stuck with Wenger, whatever piece of mismanagement he concocts next?
Rather like the inmates in one flew over the cuckoo's nest, with Wenger as Nurse Ratched.
Difference is SteveO appears to have given up playing the McMurphy role.

I think that on international weekends this place is largely deserted

if this forum had been resigned to its fate of being stuck with Wenger then the place would probably have closed down in about 2012 due to inactivity.

Suicide alert

Couldn't decide where to put these links so I thought, fcuk it lets put it at the mans feet who is responsible for allowing the freeloading to continue

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/ ... k-wilshere

The numbers involved would be the embarrassing part of the first link, but inclusion in this team should make a player suicidal
