The media have been prolific in raffling at Arsene Wenger, whose woes were further compounded after his side lost to Bradford in the Capital One Cup, with Bettor.com analyzing whether there is any truth in the matter.
‘Judge me at the end of the season,’ is Arsene Wenger’s yearly comment. For too long now have the Gunners cascaded in the Premier League rankings and failed to acquire silverware.
Seven years since that F.A Cup triumph have passed and for the Frenchman, patience is something which fans no longer have.
Had it been the case of a struggling Premiership side with no funds to spend, surely the supporters would have understood. But with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 raking in nearly £40 million profits, there is obvious talk as to why that money is not being spent on improving the
squad.
Wenger always claims that he doesn’t want to spend hefty amounts on below-par players of the transfer market, but signings such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 (£10.8 million) that is hardly what is going on at the Emirates.
The loss against Bradford City was the lowest point the Gooners have dropped since the French coach took charge. The Bantams are 3 Divisions below Arsenal and have spent £7,500 in assembling their squad, yet they were determined against Wenger’s full strength
side and came out on top.
While the media has been after Wenger’s head, Martin Keown claims that the tactician can rectify the situation, but needs to be given some time for that.
“Arsene Wenger knows he needs to put things right at Arsenal. No-one will know that more than Arsene Wenger himself. The future without Wenger at Arsenal is unthinkable. The manager has rebuilt his side, so we should give the new team time to show they can
bounce back from adversity.”
“Undoubtedly the talent is there. Young players such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998 should be given time,” the former defender was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
Qualification for the UEFA Champions League and perhaps a shot at the F.A Cup are only realistic aspirations left for the Londoners this season and nothing sums up their current situation better than the last few episodes of the BBC Comedy ‘Special 1 TV’.
During the show Arsene Wenger consistently struggles to come to terms with his side’s demise in the Premier League and eventually starts losing his mind, or as the show host Jose Mourinho calls it; ‘Your brain is turning into porridge.’
With his erratic behavior becoming such a regularity, Wenger eventually snaps and in the end, it seems is already for a trip to French http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Beaches-c38612. The last few lines pretty much sums up the current situation in London.
‘I am reflecting back on a very good season’, claims Wenger. And then prepares to depart, when Mourinho interrupts him and says; ‘Wenger, If I were you I wouldn’t turn my phone off’. ‘Why not’ asks the bemused trainer.
‘Champions League qualifiers in July,’ laughs off the wary Real Madrid boss.
