Always hated Man U, but I always had nothing but respect for SAF

i agree with a lot here. I have views of Arsene that definitely fall under the Wenger apologists category. I too believe when he finally retires from Arsenal, more and more gunners will begin to appreciate what he did during that transitioning time. What seems to be a small budget given to wenger, managed to still keep the club in a european spot for his entire tenure which is very impressive in itself considering the type of players he has had throughout the years since 06, eboue, Squillaci, Andre Santos, Bendtner, Djourou, gervinho.....and it goes on and on. With these sub par players, he still managed them to qualification and for that i feel it has in the long run been positive for the club keeping the club a viable option for young/veteran players to consider as an option because of the opportunity to play champions league ball. IMHO since the banter era ended with the purchase of Ozil, i truly believe Arsenal has steadily improved since then in a positive way. This is one of the best teams we have had in a while, with the disappointing results and recent injuries aside, the squad has a lot of talent and depth to it. I feel wenger is still not being given enough credit for still being able to get players like Alexis, Ozil in their primes and players like Cech who is a keeper legend to come to arsenal while having all this "Lack of ambition". Ive said it before and i thinks its BS that you could say to at least wenger and the players that they lack ambition. He's steadily added real quality players who are now being considered by the elite clubs of the world and yet somehow he still gets flack for it. I will say the man is stubborn and arrogant in how he goes about who he wants in his squads, which has been a fault to him and a hinderance on the squad; he has been too loyal to quite a few players (I.E. ramsey, walcott) because he believes so much in the guys and does not bench them when they play poorly as they often do now. The players deserve a lot of critisiscm next to wenger because many of these lads have the talent but now im convinced its something mental as henry recently pointed out.I see where he's coming from.....I've said it before....in a way...when it's all said and done...
Wenger has done an amazing job for Arsenal. Keeping them in CL footy while transitioning to the new stadium over a long period of time is very impressive. Wenger is very clearly meeting the demands of the board. They wouldn't be rewarding him with new contracts if he wasnt.
The only issue I do have really when I watch Arsenal over the years. Is why does Wenger consistently buy the same type of player? Particularly in the CM/CDM roles. Why are Arsenal players always being easily bowled over? Why are their midfielders always slim and dainty? I've always wondered why the defensive minded players are not more like a Matic?
The OVERALL problem is not with Wenger, it's with the board. With a new manager, with the same budget, and the same board issues I'm not particularly sure they're going to see the joy they want.
@FromTStands: Ian Wright has revealed he met with Arsène Wenger last night, who told him his time at Arsenal is "coming to the end". [bbc5live]
I'll be celebrating that day harder than my 21st bday.Speaking of Wenger,there's been a whole lot of smoke regarding him leaving after the season lately...
Apparently even Gunner legend I am Wright thinks he's on his way out

From all the rumors to Allegri keeping quiet and not denying anything when asked,looks like this might be it for Wenger...
I know at least half of Gooners are gonna be ecstatic if that's the case
