THE WENGER THREAD

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.

I watched them at the weekend and thought that greizmann was woeful v barca and didn't even look interested :roll:

Have to say that I too would like to see simeone as manager of The Arsenal - it might be a short marriage and it might be a fiery marriage, but at least he would shake things up and it will be exciting as long as he sticks around 8)
Simeone tops my list as well. For no other reason than he would hopefully chin Mourinho on full time at the bridge after we've finally won there again.

Why would anybody leave champion league contenders to join chump league also rans.

Yet it is unimaginable how nobody could be found to better the like of Giroud, I mean seriously!?!?!?

There can be little attraction for any ambitious player to join Arsenal and that in itself is a shameful reflection upon the reign of Wenger!
Three names
Czech
Ozil
Sanchez

But let's not get the facts in the way of a boring story lol
Laughing Gooner I put it to you is anything ever Arsenes fault?? :shock:

The seasons after Ozil left Madrid and Sanchez left Barca they both won he CL.They were boh surplus at both clubs.As for Ozil we would be lucky to get half of the £42m back we paid for him

These days? if Cech, Ozil and Sanchez don't meet your criteria, which "world class first choice players" have ever joined Arenal? :shock:

I keep reading people criticise or look down their nose at signings like Cech, Ozil and Sanchez because they were "easy", or "reserves" or that the selling club needed money, but if those 3 get criticised, which signings through our history are above criticism?

Bergkamp? - failed to impress in Italy and wanted a move.
Vieira? - reserve player at AC Milan
Henry? - failed to impress in Italy and wanted a move
Wrighty? - signed from Palace so not difficult
Gilberto? - signed from Brazil and wanted a move to Europe
Pires? - signed from France and wanted to play for a bigger club
Overmars? - injury prone and on the cheap
etc....

Daar is net een Arsene Wenger
Ka vetëm një Arsene Wenger
هناك واحد فقط ارسين فينجر
Yalnız bir Arsene Wenger var
Ez da, Arsene Wenger duen bakarra
Там толькі адзін Арсен Венгер
শুধুমাত্র এক আর্সেন ওয়েঙ্গার নেই
Postoji samo jedan Arsene Wenger
Има само един Арсен Венгер

I've been critical if Wenger in the past;
Too stubborn
Can't delegate
Tactically been found wanting
Too loyal to under achieving players.

But some of the criticism on this site of him here is laughable.
No balance whatsoever.

Any time we lose, it's solely down to Wenger.
Any time we win, it's in spite of Wenger.

It's the same old story with many here.
Why don't you just cut and paste your posts and get out and enjoy life a little :-P :-P
