Arsène Wenger: Same Old Class

[Sanchez11]

I think mustafi was a good deal hes a warrior its the midfield that is the problem and forward players walking back not giving a sh##e!!

 

[Rex Stone]

Wouldn't agree that they are so much better but it highlights another reason why we've gone to ****, poor scouting/signings. Those players were signed for relatively inexpensive fees.

Whoever encouraged Arsène to go down the route of that moneyball data analysing **** needs their bollocks kicked in.

I f*cking hate analytics. Moneyball itself never actually worked. I don't mind statistics in support of the eye test but there's so many variables that go into a game of football purely basing an analysis of a spreadsheet is stupid.

It's way more than that. We have no idea what to do without the ball. And that boils down to one man's lack of preparation on the training ground

 

[Furious]

We've got one world class player after Wenger has spent over £200m in the last three summer windows.

Not good enough at all. When he goes, he'll be leaving a squad of victims.

Why do you keep mentioning fees? 200M doesn't get you much these days. Manure have spent 500M and are still ****.

I agree the tactics are non existent i think the players want him gone because they know the game is up

Because Wenger doesn't get money to spend apparently.

Spot on. Analytics might work in other sports but there's too many other factors involved with football that don't get taken into consideration.

He does. The players just aren't there. Mugs like Martial cost 1/3 of that 200M you mentioned.

 

[Axel9090]

Do we actually have a squad that cant challenge for the title? I dont believe so. I think Simeone/Allegri can get the best out of this squad. Wenger has made it look like ****e. Obviously a couple of additions in the summer will also help massively when the new manager comes in.

They watch them live on top of those analytics tbf. That Grimandi is in charge for that is another matter.

Dembele?

The players aren't there? How can you say that when a bloke like Ousmane Dembele goes to Dortmund for 15M quid and is already a level above Theo/Welbeck despite being 19 yo.

 

[Sanchez11]

We just sit on our hands and its a case of "that will do" been found out this season

 

[Furious]

Dembele?

By that I meant the world class players.

As for Dembele, he's pretty inconsistent himself tbf. I've been watching Dortmund and as great as he can be at times as **** can he look.

We had Iwobi looking like a world beater as well, and were looking for the finished article such as Mahrez/Lacazette.

I think we have to be a bit more bold with our transfer strategies. Playing it a bit too safe right now.

As for Dembele, of course he's going to be inconsistent - he's still a teenager. His dribbling ability alone would be massive on the right wing where frauds like Walcott/Welbeck stink it up.

 

[David_Smith]

Please stay Arsène we need you!

No doubt mate. Guys like Ramsey, Walcott and Ox have been here for far too long without contributing or getting to the required level.

Came to think about the snake Cesc today, in hindsight we shouldn't have relied on Santi, and our other poverty options.

I don't think the players want him gone since most of them may follow Arsène out of the door if he leaves. The next manager will keep a number of these guys around and will push them out.

midgets and ****bags.

That's a good theme for a party tbf.
