Arsène Wenger

StatDNA doesn’t explain why the 17/18 season deteriorated like it did. At all.

So buying 2 giant busts for big money to fill important spots in the spine of our team all the while handicapping our already financially restrained club even further, has no bearing to missing out on CL football two seasons running, immediately after? Ok derp.

HE BOUGHT THEM YOU FUCKING DUMBASS

You respond to him every time. At this stage you’re the dumbass

What’s ur theory on why we were buying players on free’s and very cheap up until Stat DNA got involved? Only guys we spent big money on were sure things like Mesut and Alexis prior to stat DNA.

Shoulda got the Juve guys to sort us out. :stuck_out_tongue:

He abhorred the inflated market and tried to beat the system. You can call it noble or unrealistic but it was doomed to failure.
His and the boards refusal to put this right till it was to late was simply chronic negligence.

He was buying players on the cheap before and it wasn’t hurting us on the pitch because Arsene was a good talent spotter. We got Santi, Per, Kosh, Giroud, Ramsey, Arteta, Oxlade, and many many more who all contributed to cup wins and decent enough league campaigns to keep us top 4.

When we ran into trouble was when Stat DNA started earmarking our targets, spending 70m on guys like Mustafi and Xhaka who are absolute shit. The above mentioned guys were probably less than 70m combined and all guys who played years and years for us that maybe weren’t title winners but kept us relevant. Guys like Perez, Xhaka, Mustafi ect, do not belong in an Arsenal shirt. You spend our entire budget on these shitters who u can’t even shift on once u realize what fails they are, and that’s hard to recover from when you’ve got a budget like ours.

Tldr: Wengers judgement >>>> stat dna

It’s a shame Wenger’s judgement didn’t include buying Per and Arteta before we got dicked 8-2

SAF produced that class of 92 and developed a young Ronaldo etc. He stayed at the very top by moving with the times transfer and style wise.
Wenger was hampered to a degree after the stadium move but his change in tactics to possession based game and no physicality cost him dear. His refusal and defiance to change lead him and us going backwards.

It’s astounding how A4TT managed to turn a post from me that was meant to troll him (only a little) into a troll of everybody else that Mav predictably bit into as did others :arteta:

Truly the troll GOAT

It has nothing to do with me man, ppl just love to argue the facts. They’ve got a hard on to discredit Wenger and his genius of keeping us top 4 for 20 years with no budget. Sad that ppl can’t just give out best ever manager who worked miracles with zero budget, the credit he so rightfully deserves…but honestly that kinda stuff sums up our fan base quite well.

It was a rotating top 4 that we were always a part of. All of Chelsea, United, and lolpool finished outside of the top 4 in those good Wenger years so lelzz derp, cmon breh ur too much of an intelligent football fan to buy into that empty rhetoric.

I mean it says in the article StatDNA was a Gazidis iniative and links it to this:

Ultimately Le Boss was sacked because these 2 signings and Perez weren’t good enough. Maybe the question should be ‘why have 2 failed signings held us back so much, when other clubs can absorb and replace their flops’

And you know what I thought Xhaka looked like a prospect myself in Bundesliga. It turns out his IQ isn’t good enough for a top club but he looked a real prospect.

This isn’t true. If anything Wenger adapted to modern tactics where as SAF still relied on a 4-4-2. The only tactically adaption Fergie made was to have his team sit back when not in possession so they were more defensive and they always did that anyway.

The reason Fergie prospered was having a core of Ferdinand, Vidic, Rooney, Scholes, Carrick, RVP, countless top strikers and a world beater like CR7 all while having the best wingers for his wing based system. Sure he was a great motivator with high standards of discipline and had developed a winning culture too. Tactically he was arguably regressive and there was a problem moving away from 4-4-2 after he left. That United was getting battered going up against City and Barce, is somewhat of a tactical failure. And they were getting dumped out of Europe quite early in his past few seasons

Exactly. The first season Liverpool was just slightly better and the cards fell in their favour. The difference was just one point. Shit happens. How the season after that was an absolute mess has more in it than just two bad transfers.

Wenger’s judgement consisted mainly of repeating the same mistakes every season.
Picking the same players that weren’t performing, using the same system that wasn’t working, while wasting transfer window opportunities and going into almost every season under prepared, was his downfall.

The convenience of the stat DNA excuse just masks his deficiencies for his supporters.
