Andy082005 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Classic example of a team who doesn't evolve with the times. The thing with Araenal now is even £50m wouldnt be enough to get them challenging again. Never replaced senior players, keeps bringing in kids for the "future". I admire the bloke sticking to his morales and philosophy's.....however he has blew it at Arsenal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well has to sign some quality experienced players. Especially with the money they have generated. I can't see the board dumping him. They will give him this transfer period and January period at the very least. With the players he has no other manager is going to come in and change that. It's a completely different ethos to most clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Similar situation to us, manager who is unable to extract the best out of a group of players and that very same group of players being themselves average at best, tied down on medium to long contracts and on high wages with little re-sale potential or interest. Also bringing through a group of younger players who aren't the answer. Obvious difference is though, Arsenal are still a top 6 premier league club!!!

Akira Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 They lost massively today, but your having a laugh when your trying to make out he isn't a good manager, because he is, no doubt about it. Yes, he desperately needs to buy, and buy big, but the foundations he has built at Arsenal are immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to the rhythm Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Exceptionalmanager ain't he Bearing in mind all the trophies he's won, and the players he's developed.....yes, he is an exceptional manager, and it is terribly sad to see things disintegrating like this.

WellRedPhil Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Congratulations on the unbelievably pathetic thread. It's cringeworthy how embarrassing your attempted point scoring is. On the subject of Wenger today was horrible. It was genuinely sad to see this happen to such a great Club and such a great manager. As soon as the team was announced it was quite clearly going to end in a heavy defeat, but 8 was unbelievable. Of course the injury and suspension situation is a nightmare but the team showed no fight whatsoever and had what appeared to be a football league back four. Investment is needed and I hope Wenger buys at least one defender before Wednesday. As I said before obviously he has his flaws but Arsenal can't compete with the likes of United, Chelsea and City with wages and the Nasri situation sums that up. Wenger is clearly an outstanding manager and as anyone in football who knows anything has said, he has achieved a hell of a lot at Arsenal and receives much unwarranted stick. I hope Arsenal can turn it around as they are a great Club and sacking Wenger would be beyond foolish. He does however need to go out and invest.

The Batman Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Arsenal fan on 606 is making a good point. The inherited defence of Adams, keown, seaman etc meant he could not go wrong. Since they left they have won nothing. Good teams win with good defences. And he has never bought a good defender etc............... I can't argue with that really.

Alex_BCFC Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 He was a great manager. Key word is was. Lost the plot, refuses to replace key players, especially at the back. On borrowed time unless he has a sudden realisation that he needs to stop relying solely on kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Dear Mr Wenger, It's apparent that you are currently experiencing many problems with your team, on todays showing the defence is extremely exposed. Doncha just eight it when that happens. I'm wondering if perhaps we can be of any assitance to you in that department?... we'd be more than pleased to help out by offering you the use of Nicky Hunt, infact we'd love to be able to shove him up your ARSEnal for you. Just say the word. All the best, bye for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ain't having lauren and cliche. Cole could not defend until he went to chelsea. The arsenal fan mentioned vermalen. I am a fan of him.

Since they left they have won nothing. Good teams win with good defences. And he has never bought a good defender etc............... I can't argue with that really. Campbell, Clichy, Gallas, Sagna, Vermaelen... admittedly his defensive record is relatively poor, but to say he has never bought a good defender is a bit far! All this chat that he's in trouble is mental. The man has brought successive champions league finishes with poor teams on paper. Built the foundations of a club that turnover massive profits to faciliitate the new stadium. Bought young talent, brought them on, then sold players for more than he paid and arguably more than they are worth. Yes the team have been comparatively unsuccsessful of late. Yes he needs to buy. Yes they are not favourites to make top 4 for the first time in donkeys' years... but if I wasn't Bristolian I'd be happy if I had been born a gunner considering the football they've played and success they've had. Wenger needs more respect than people are giving him... and a decent centre half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute bollocks as MC Risk has said. They went unbeaten for a whole f ** king season with a defence of which none were Graham's signings. Some people have such short memories it's unbelievable.

However Wenger tends to sign players like Koscielny and Squillaci whereas if he spent the equivalent money on 1 quality player for the same position he would be better off. False economy imo. He also focuses on signing young players for a future that never arrives.
