OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It's a myth that he hardly spends any money. Gervinho, Chamakh, Santos, Park, Squilaci, Denilson and Arshavin are/were all on 50k+ a week apparentely. 350k a week minimum for squad players.

weshallnotbemoved! 714 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Emirates is soulless and his teams are only brilliant in flashes. The passion of Highbury has gone.Wenger has got caught up in himself s bit too much, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ush 8 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 He is stubborn and stuck in ways but he did help change the Premiership.It reminds me of Brian Clough at Forest. Went from European Cup champs two years in a row to relegation many years later! Not as extreme as that though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_ger 1,454 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Appears to be a lack of innovation. That's where the original success came from and it is the only way to compete on a smaller budget than City and Chelsea. I'm not even sure what Wenger would achieve if he spent £70 million. Does he spend it on a couple of key positions or does he break up the team, sell some of the existing team and go for 5 or 6 new players!?

OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 He needs a new keeper, 2 centre backs, a holding midfielder, a winger and a striker IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I thought Arsenal were a little bit unlucky today.Spurs got a bit of luck with the second goal with the ref ignoring a foul, and over the piece today, I actually thought, bar a 2-3 minute spell where the defence switched off and Spurs got the 2 goals, Arsenal did pretty well, and deserved at least a point.Arsenal do need a quality striker though.There was an article on TV the other day, it may even of been the director of football discussion on Sky, stating that one of the reasons Arsenal are struggling is the other teams have copied their scouting network, thus more competition for them to sign the players.Yet the don't even seem to bother competing for certain players.

sdunsmb 43 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Arsenal need a lot of players, but Wenger seems to miss or simply overlook every player who is right under his nose and already playing in The Premiership.I think its stubbornness more than anything. He's an intelligent guy so I don't think he 'misses' them but is so intent on proving people wrong by persisting with 'projects' (flops) like Gervinho. Think he has began to let his loyalty to players he's signed and his 'vision' get in the way of business compared to the more ruthless approach of SAF.Badger is right in saying that the competitive advantage Arsenal had in their scouting network has gone; other teams have caught up. The most telling thing is Wenger's insistence on 'concentrating on our own game'. All top teams change their tactics depending on opponents and this is something Wenger has never, and probably will never do. The only exception is Barca and even they look like they are beginning to struggle.Don't get me wrong, I still think he is a good manager in a lot of ways but his reluctance to change is really beginning to dent Arsenal. The only mystery is how much of it is driven by limitations set by the board and how much of it is driven by Wenger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
