Does Wenger deserve to have a Statue at the Emirates?

Postby ALL THINGS RED AND WHITE » Tue Mar 06, 2018 6:39 pm

We all know that Wenger came at Arsenal in 1996 a relatively unknown. 21 years on, does he deserve to have a statue commemorating not only his achievements but his shortcomings. What do you think?

In a few years once he's retired yes, definitely.

Some people have been suggesting that a stand named after him is better bet.

He may of deserved one 3 years ago .......... not now he doesn't.

He hasn't won the premier league since 2004 ...... 14 years ago!!

Never won the CL.

............ there are managers who've done twice as much if not more and don't get statues.

Yes. I think once he's gone and we get back to our normal selves, people will forget these bad times and realize he deserves one.

I'll go for a statue if this means he won't get a job with the higher management when he's finally done.

Seriously though, does he really deserve one? I mean, 3 league titles in over 20 seasons, no European glory, very good domestic record with his many FA CUP wins, that's pretty good but does it warrants "legend status"? If he's a legend, imagine how Alex Ferguson should be referred to? GOD? (No, that's Zlatan, I forgot).
From an Arsenal perspective, I guess it make sens though. He's been the most decorated manager of the club after all.

As a compromise, get a taxidermist to stuff him and put him on display.

Of course he deserves a statue atm........ with him INSIDE that statue. Or even better, him being the statue so he can receive all the....... "cheerings" from the fans.

The way he has dragged the club down, I don't think so.
