Arsenal beat Fenerbahce three-0 within the first leg of the Champions League playoff, throwing a bit of cold water on the criers and irate finger pointers who had been in full meltdown mode after their loss to Aston Villa last weekend. But whatever optimistic reinforcement the a lot needed win provided was dented by supervisor Arsene Wenger’s submit-match feedback. As a substitute of displaying his many doubters that he sees the sunshine and is aware of what have to be executed, he just offered extra gas for his rising variety of critics.
First, Wenger admitted that “there is absolutely no chance” of Arsenal signing Luis Suarez. Which is hardly stunning. However then the person who has only made one signing all summer (a 20-12 months-outdated free switch) and misplaced his first match of the new season with an injury depleted facet as soon as once more showed that he’s dwelling in a fantasy land where the eight trophyless years for Arsenal have not occurred.
“Quality-clever we don’t want anybody but number-sensible we are quick,” Wenger mentioned, apparently with a straight face. In different phrases, if it weren’t for accidents, Wenger feels Arsenal have an ideal quantity of quality right now. Enough to win the league, FA Cup, Champions League, you title it. “High quality-clever we do not want anybody.” However wait! It gets worse…
From the Guardian:
“You have to perceive that there’s nonetheless a long solution to go. The switch market begins for me now and plenty of exercise will occur between now and a couple of September. It begins now. It is sort of a poker recreation. Individuals hold their cards as long as doable and see what is going on on the market. Ultimately, they go for choices.” [...]
Wenger was asked whether or not he was any good at poker. “No,” he replied.
Oh, Arsene.
