Coach Orlando City and be get driven right back to one of those gated retirement complexes you have over there


We may get a MLS team here, so I'd say he could come here, but let's just say St. Louis isn't the type of place you come to retire. Ha!


I hope for your sake the football is better than the pig-swill beer St Louis gave the world!!

Holy f**k, I just realized that Wenger's the first foreign manager in Arsenal history. :shocked:

Antero Henrique - the sporting director of PSG - is getting the sack at the end of the season

Arsene in line to take over that role

One of my greatest memories under Wenger, its also probably one of the greatest victory in Wengers career. We could have played quarters this year if referee wasnt protecting Barca.;

Mad man has beaten the best Barca in history with Bendtner, Djorou and Clichy #manlikeArsene

2018 - we can’t buy players because Wenger refuses to spend money.
2019 - we can’t buy players because Wenger spent all the money.

2019 swipe right completely loses the plot ... summer 2018 Arsene was already gone ... but you knew that right?

Arsene refused to spend money from 2004 - 2011 in 7 years he spent 150m, it was only in his last six summer windows that he blew through 520m ... but you knew that right?

Trouble with you not being an Arsenal fan is that you know f**k all about our club ...

Those aren't mutually exclusive tbh

2018 - we can’t buy players because Wenger refuses to spend money (on positions of need).
2019 - we can’t buy players because Wenger spent all the money (on luxury positions).

Wenger might be stubborn but hindisght will tell us that he was right.

It's alleged that Xhaka and Mustafi were Ivan's signing based on the stat company's metrics.

Of course, his stubbornness in 13/14 and 15/16 resulted in us most likely failing to win the title. So that's on him.

Wenger's biggest mistake in his last three years was spending big money on players rather than getting wonderkids and developing them into world beaters. This eventually led us to go out of top four because Wenger couldnt inject his mentality in them since they were too old to taught. For instance, Alexis Sanchez. He was simply not listening Wenger, and was running on the pitch like headless chicken. Or Mustafi and Xhaka, both came with different mentalities and football knowledge to Arsenal. Ozil was the only Wenger signing that i could get behind because he knew Wenger's football.

No no no, that wasn't Wenger's problem at all, it was spending big money on players that were not worth the money. Is it a coincidence that when we spent big money on players worth the money (Ozil, Alexis) we start winning trophies?

Wenger's stubbornness and tactical inflexibility was more of a problem.

I agree .
He shouldn't have abandoned his philosophy.
He caved to pressure from fans to start spending big . That was the beginning of the end

Wenger worked under a very tight budget for a decade and still delivered top 4 consistently .
absolute legend
