I found players like Carrick, Giggs and Scholes to be very average and Rooney overrated. But that’s all subjective.
Probably some sort of bias if you’re being honest. Rooney is one of the greatest strikers in modern history.I found players like Carrick, Giggs and Scholes to be very average and Rooney overrated. But that’s all subjective.
Nearly signed Carrick in 2004 too apparently, ffs...Fabregas coming through, rightfully made Arsène change his mind unfortunately, as we already had Vieira and Gilberto.
Still...him and Cesc would have been the perfect two to take over from Vieira and Giberto
Our 2010-2011 team was much better than Utd’s that won the league and Wenger certainly failed that season.

Weak-willed, flimsy losers. The lot of them. Those few months still leave a sour taste.Yeah,we lost plot after that Carling Cup final.Had big chance to win EPL.

We are just so poor in attack. No patterns, no go-to combinations, shocking execution of passes.4 points dropped in a week, not to mention needless dropped points vs Chelsea. We actually should be going to Stamford Bridge as top 4 rivals.
Arteta gets a free pass this season as he inherited a mess, but I expect us to be showing much more next season.

Remember when we nearly signed Alonso too?
Anyway the senior players in our current squad bar a couple are gash. We have no true goal threat outside of Auba and 0 creativity in midfield if Özil doesn't show up... and hes starting to go missing a bit again.
Wenger assembled that squad on a shoestring. We had no right to even be in that position. One point we looked unbeatable and on course to potentially challenge for all four trophies. By mid-February, we were just one point behind United in second, in the final of the Carling Cup, had defeated Pep's Barca 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie and were still in the FA Cup.Our 2010-2011 team was much better than Utd’s that won the league and Wenger certainly failed that season.

But without Cesc and Theo for the Carling Cup final against Birmingham City, we had that crazy mix up between Szczesny and Kos which allowed Martins to score that injury time winner.
That defeat, more injuries and the involvement of poor players like Almunia, Squillaci, Djourou, ruined that season.
The only thing I blamed Wenger for was playing Kieran Gibbs ahead of Clichy in the United game. Fabio’s first goal came from Gibbs' position.

Heard all that nonsense before somewhere.Squad cost doesn't matter. Even with a Koscielny and Djourou CB pairing (which was pretty good at the time), we had a better squad than Utd and despite being their main challengers for most of the season, we finished 4th. Epic bottlejob. Wenger out.
