Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Scriptures Prophesied the Messiah Plays 3-4-3

Wenger was like the Dean of a college at a University. Great at finishing your education, but would be lost in a grade school classroom. The problem is he didn’t know that.

He allows too much free thinking and expression which isnt a bad thing at all. But at the developmental stage it breeds bad habits.

Then again you and I have been having this conversation about Wenger since the days and possibly in the early years of this thread.

I used to believe in his drivel on that until I saw him fail badly with Vela. Then the weird treatment of Gnabry before he was eventually sold sealed it for me.

Even a player like Bendtner had way more in his locker then what Wenger got out. He scored a hat trick in a CL knockout match and scored at the Nou Camp against a great Barca side. But Vela had everything in his profile to be one of the best players and the world and Wenger kept playing him away from goal. He wasted so many young assets during that period and everyone gave him a pass.

The club seemed to take the first available loan option with no assurances of playing time. Chelsea never did that stuff.

Wenger's model only works if you have very strong/dominant leaders in a team imo.

And it depends heavily on the player having a killer mentality.

It was literally the same story everytime.

I'm still mad at him for Denilson.

These players come in, start off good, and then around season and a half off their Arsenal career. Something just happens, and they either regress or just stall.

Clichy could've been one off the best LB's period, his development stalled


Literally ruined Eboue, probably one off the best natural talents he had

Gibbs another one

Bellerin

Ramsey

Too many players

Still don't understand why he sold Song after that season he had

Man lived off George Weah for far too long and even then George was already 21/22 by the time he got to Wenger. Wenger's greatest success youth wise is Ashley Cole and if we keeping it reality how much of that was down to Wenger and how much was it the back 5/6 drilling him to become a better defender?

If we really break it down. The best young players that came up to start for the 1st team the majority of their youth training was at other academies before coming to Arsenal. Wenger was at one point better with the 21-23 year olds who just needed a bit of refining to their games.

wasn't he the greatest ?

 

[JDH]

Lol fukkin hell Soucek scores so many goals

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

wasn't he the greatest ?

Lol, no. A month after he signed he was playing for the first team in the League cup. And he is more linked with La Masia.
