McBoyd 355 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Haha! Can't believe you're even talking about it. Never. In a million years. But it would be brilliant. The only thing worse than the original question was McBoyd's reply. GIUY. Its my opinion, i don't think he'd be right for the job. OH WAIT.. did you want to hear.. Lets become mass corporate sell outs, a french B side.. .. Arsenal were good for a while, during that 100 game undefeated run.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good manager yes, but he has plenty to spend at Arsenal on players, of course he has youngens coming through, but for a large part of the last few years it wasn't "Arsenal v Manchester United", it was "France v Man U".. .. and i don't think he'd be able to cope with the fact minty would give him a few bob to spend or get bosmans/loans in. But who knows? He might do well. We'll never find out anyhow. I'd take Alex Ferguson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you pick that? If Wenger had the £30m that Walter's had to spend, we'd be walking this league. You cannot accuse Wenger of not being able to cope with no money.

He'd never really done it at Lyon with the exception of creating the phenomenon that is Benzema. He did make mistakes at us, but his legacy was more as a coach who made his players fit and healthy and made them play decent football - which we did, but possibly not effective enough for the SPL.

So did you complain that it was Holland vs Celtic when Advocaat signed umpteen Dutch players, or are you just picking up on the France vs Man Utd point because you don't support Arsenal? As far as spending goes, Arsenal's chairman has said that Wenger has spent no more than 4-5 million net per season since, he went there so your arguement about him not being able to cope with a small budget is also a non starter. Everybody talks about his attacking approach, but he built a defence which got to a Champions League final, setting the record for the most games without conceding a goal in thr process, for 5 million.......we bought Kyle Lafferty and Kenny Miller for 5.5 million. It would never happen, but to insinuate that Wenger would fail up here on the basis that PLG failed is ridicilous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdzKyle 7,836 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Of course i would want him but he will pretty much have his pick of clubs. BBC gossip page reckon Real Madrid are gonna try steal him in the summer. Nuff said! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoyd 355 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You've explained why Walter would be favourable based on last season and you've also said that given the choice, you wouldn't want Wenger. As Wenger would be coming in to replace Smith, you can draw the conclusion that you would rather have Smith than bring in Wenger. I explained why Walters season last season was better than Le Guens, even with "10 times the budget" I wouldn't want Wenger, doesn't mean i wouldn't want someone else instead of Smith does it? Smith gone, i wouldn't want Wenger, but we'd still need someone else to take the reigns. So you are telling me what i said, putting words into my mouth. Its just as easy as if i said i didn't want Alex Mcleish to come back to rangers this summer, would you then claim that because Smith was leaving, and would be replaced by Mcleish i would pick Smith over Mcleish?

Yes, i did actually, i preferred it when it was a 3 foreigner rule. Nothing to do with me supporting Arsenal or not.

It would never happen, but to even suggest that Wenger would fail up here on the basis that PLG failed is ridicilous. Arsenal drag in money from alot of places, advertising, etc.. Ok so they spent 5 million and got to a Champions League final.. i'd LOVE to see the wage bracket some of them were on. Something would could never afford with the money we rake in, and Minty at the reigns. And look at the team, there are about 6 players there who are english/british, most of them not in the first team. Some people complain on here (not saying you direcrtly) about bringing up the youngsters through the system, and how Scotland internationally is shite because we don't bring up quality youngsters anymore, and yet bringing in Wenger could lead to a similar problem. Foreigners over taking the team. I preferred Arsenal back in the 90's to be honest, Ian Wright, Tony Adams, David Seaman, Keown, Parlour, Viera one of the only foreigners. Same with Rangers, i preffered the days of Gazza, Goram, Hatley, Mccoist.. Personally i'd not like to see a Rangers team consisting of hardly any scots.
