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.
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
