Since when has Arsenal been his home, he was just as mercenary as many other players we have had, he was always vying for a move before he eventually went.
Great player that he was, that's all he was, a great player but hawked himself out to the highest bidder.
I'm not sold on the Vierra mercenary angle at all .
Vierra and Wenger didnt get on and had HUGE bust ups about how the team played ,who would be in the team and who was running the show whuich often wasnt Wenger .
Vierra frequently diverted from the playbook and it worked, so Wenger couldnt really do much .
What is sure is that Vierra tired of fighting with Wenger and Vice Versa .
Since then Wenger (ever the control freak) has made sure that no alpha male comes in and challenges him !

100% agree. Great player, but in the end he looked after number 1 like all modern footballers.

Which is amazing given the adulation that chippy brady and henry (for example) get on here and amongst the wider Gooner community - seems ok for some players to move on but not for others
congratulations to Arsene Wenger who has been named manager of the month
October 2015 - I will remember it for us losing 0-3 to championship side Sheffield Wednesday in the league cup but luckily for Wenger that doesnt count.
Away at Swansea the BFG tried to play a suicidal offside in the first half which led to Gomis getting clean through on goal. Thankfully he hesitated and between Cech making himself big and Bellerin's blistering recovery pace disaster was averted.
Our next game was in Munich where Gabriel insanely tried to catch Lewandowski, currently Europe's deadliest striker, offside and we ended up going 1 nil down on the way to a drubbing.
Our third game of the week was the scum at home. Lessons learned? None. Mistakes ironed out on the training ground? Are you having a laugh! Kos rushes out trying to play Kane offside, makes a balls of it and we're one nil down again.
That's pathetic from a management/coaching point of view. Hapless from Wenger and what Steve Bould, part of the most drilled and disciplined back 4 in history, is doing is beyond me. All 3 of our centre backs making the exact same mistake in 3 consecutive games.
Another one is how often we line up to defend a free kick and there will be an opposition player stood at the back completely unmarked. Not peeling away or creating a yard of space with a clever run. Just stood there unmarked.
I see Wenger is saying in today's paper he would look at managing another club after Arsenal but not in England. Does this despot seriously think there is a club in the world who would put up with him?? He works soley for Kroenke, makes money for Kroenke, answers to no one. Go to a big European club and carry on like he has for the last decade and see what happens. The fans will be throwing bottles at him before his first, excuse riddled year is over, and there will be no AKB supporters club to protect the know it all.

Its called earning a crust.
Did you seriously think he would be interested in coming back to us? putting out the cones, and handing the players the vests while Wenger steals his £8mil per season?
Manager of the month should be given to the squad as a whole. After all once again a good performance has emerged from a players meeting, not in the presence of Prof. Clueless.
Anyone who seriously believes Wenger is worthy of an award should watch the first 45 minuthes v Spurs. this is the culmination of almost 20 years working with the team, a shambolic display.

Whatever our minority of fans think of him the reality is that - barring crazy demands about control - there are probably only a handful of clubs on the continent who wouldn't give him the job if they were looking.

Getting the job and keeping it are two different things. How many clubs supporters would put up with this crap year in, year out?? None with any ambition, that is for sure. It is almost surreal what this guy gets away with. As much as I dislike Mourinho and his unhealthy obsession with Wenger, he is right. Wenger must be the ONLY PL manager who is not under pressure. Do you think this charlatan ever gets called in to explain a 5 - 1 or 8 - 2 drubbing. Not on your life, AKB, the ungrateful fans can go to hell.
