Wenger – We are still looking for a midfielder and a defender

Posted on August 29, 2011 by admin

Arsene Wenger saw his sadly depleted Gunners get a hammering from Manchester United yesterday, and admitted that he is still trying to bring in some new players to improve the squad.

He said that he had a whole team of people looking for new players for Arsenal, and if he can find players of the right quality he will buy them.

Wenger said: “I am very open if we can find the right players. We have the money to sign players. If we find players who can strengthen our team then we will do it. But I am not the only one to work on the case, we have 20 people who are working on that. If we do not do it, it is because we don’t find them.

But he refused to admit that the lack of new players contributed to the 8-2 defeat to Man Utd, rather reminding the fans that he had eight first-team players out either with injuries and suspensions.

“We have plenty of players out today, too many players missing.” he continued. “We do not have the squad to compete when we have this many players out. At the moment, we have not found the solutions to our problems outside. When you look at today, you cannot predict how many players we have out. We did not expect to have Wilshere out, Diaby out, Gervinho out, Vermaelen out and Gibbs out.”

He then went on to indicate that a striker (Park Chu-Young?) was expected to sign shortly, but the other positions were still being sought after.

He said: “We are close to signing a striker at the moment but we are still looking for a midfielder and a defender.”

Arsenal did have a very important Champions League game in midweek, and Wenger thinks that fatigue from that match contributed to the heavy defeat. He asked for more time before writing off this season completely, despite the constant criticism of his methods and transfer dealings.

He concluded: “I am in a public job and I have to accept that. I try to make the right decisions for the Club and I will continue to do that. The players we have sold are players I brought to the Club. If you look at the 15 years I have been at the Club, I have brought in some good players. We have played three games in the Premier League, give me more time before saying that I have got it completely wrong. There were patches in the game where we had quality. I feel we collapsed physically more than anything else today.”

Just three days remaining of the transfer window, who thinks that Wenger really will bring in two more players before it shuts?

    I’m afraid it would only be the south korean striker from ligue 2.

    With these salaries, after this two humiliating results I don’t know who is coming in.

    We certainly have the biggest transfer kitty known nowadays, despite of how many cash flows chelsea, mancity and psg want to fund. there is no willing from part of the board to invest on our club.

    They have been reluctant during this past 6 years and it seems that we barely replace our top players.

    As of this moment and only because of this stupid policies it is unknown wheter wilshere, walcott and van persie remain Arsenal players next season.

    This board even suck at doing business, they certainly can negotiate the sales of players, but they are every good at destroying an entity of such reputation at Arsenal.

    The simple fact of qualifying to the uCL brings as much money as losing nasri, so what’s the point of selling every player and not investing in wiinning as much competitions as we can???

    It seems that this board just wanna rob us.

    If kroenke and Gazidzis were Board members of Apple they would have sold the Ipod, the Iphone, THe Ipad, The Imac and most of this patents to the competition. And they would claim that the machintosh and OS the macbooks alone would bring as much cash to remain in business. I believe that if they can they would sold their moms for as much as 1 penny.

    Yeah yeah I’ve seen this before.

    At first it’d be all “This player would be the better future of our club”, after that he’d be all “I am proud to wear Arsenal shirt!” then we’d be all “He scored again! Cheers!” then they’d be all “This player is fantastic. Maybe it’s time we, you know, have a private dinner with him, offer him more wage or something,” then it’d be all “Barca and Real are interested in Arsenal striker,” then he’d be all “Ridiculous! I love Arsene more than my father!” then they’d be all “100000/week, what do you say?” then he’d be all “(Gulp, I shouldn’t have said that to the press),” then he’d be all “I want trophies and better future. I want to leave because [insert excuses here]. Goodbye Arsenal,” and finally we’d be all “$@$%##%”

    2 midfielders if you ask me, look at wayne rooney’s first goal you will tell that some senior players dont care about arsenal. rosicky looked clearly uninterested in standing in the wall as the ball went in he’s not even bothered looking back not a single bit of emotion when man utd scored.
    i dont even wanna comment about arshavin, wenger’s downfall is down to his affection towards senior players who dont wanna fight for him.cesc and nasri let him down now its time he get ruthless.
    anyway, 3 players are not good enough, at least 5 players and get rid of senior underperformers.
    jenkinson might be inexperienced and 2 massive games in a week for him could be too much causing him to make schoolboy errors but he’s definately one for the future, a true lion.
    if i was wenger i will be busy getting rid of rosicky, chamakh and arshavin.then buy 5 players instead of just 3.

    Like any politician will tell you, “when in the shit stick to the script”. You don`t need twenty people looking for players, just pick up the phone and say “Hi Owen, how does 15 million sound”?

    I wil be still an arsenal fan though they lost to rival man united.Wenger should learn lesson from this so that he((Wenger) will buy players.I trust wenger and with him who will be against.What we need to do is co-operation and unite so that the club will go on smoothly.Two heads are better than one.What i am saying is that,let support arsenal and one day we will be champions:this is because, nobody knows what tomorrow or future might do or bring to people is only God who knows.please keep faith in wenger and arsenal too.the only player who annoyed me is Nasri becuase he told us(arsenal’s fans)that we lack support and that is why he left arsenal and join man city and that is not the medicine of his feelings i will never supported over my dead body because what he did to arsenal and fans too.I wish fabregas the best in barca and may God bless his football!

    Th way things going on with the team is really bad. I was wondering, what was AW doing when he knew that Fab and Nasri are going to leave this season. Why he didn’t buy players earlier than the last minute purchase, especially the defence. He knew Cahill is available, why he didn’t splash the cash earlier. And he knew that we’ll be playing against Liv and MU in early games. What a poor management! And about yesterday’s game was a shame, when I don’t see any leader in the team. Van persie should have done better when he took the penalty, that would lift the spirit of other players. At that kind of moment, Fab was a better captain. We really need a better captain who can really hold the team together on the pitch. I agree on some of the comment on Rosicky who don’t even bother to look at the ball during rooney’s free kick and just walk away from the wall. this is ridiculus, why we still need this kind of players. Anyhow it is not end of the world for arsenal, but hope AW will strengthen the team in 48 hrs. It doesn’t matter who start the race first, it all about who finish the race first. Go GUNNERS!

    Why dose it take so long to buy a player. If we really wanted a player we should just buy him. Wenger just can’t tell the under performers to shape up or ship out. Wenger must be sick and tired of making excuses for his players.Would be really good if there was a statement from the board explaining why we never seem to buy the players we need but that won’t happen. Such a shame that our club has come to this. We have had since June 1st to buy the defenders we need, but 2 days to go and we are still waiting

  31. Wenger thanks for the years of service, pls bow out now! I hate to hear you lie, I hate you for that. You mentioned quality, what is your description of quality? Is Jenkinson quality? Is Djourou quality, is Traore, Diaby and other average player in that team quality? Please stop deceiving us, some of we fans are more intelligent than you so check your words before talking. Imagine him saying we need quality. The average age in the Man utd starting 11 on Sunday was 23years and compared to what you call kids in Arsenal, we saw real quality in Smalling, quality in Cleverly, genuine quality in Jones, Young and Welbeck so where is the quality in Arsenal somebody should tell me . Jenkinson is not good enough for Wolves but he is at Arsenal yet Wenger rates him as quality…Rubbish…Rubbish

    What a humiliating weekend. I still cannot believe that we were beating 8-2. Yes i knew we might loose the game because of the current position of our sqad but i never expected that margin. Maybe if RVP and Arshavin had made good of the chances that they had in the opening minutes of the second half maybe it could have been better but that is history now. On a positive note now, at least we are signing the striker, a deal has been agreed with Lille over Eden Hazard whom will be in London tomorrow for medicals and also a deal has been agreed with Bolton over Cahill as the player has requested Bolton to let him join us. I forsee a new team after the FIFA break. Lets keep supporting the team just like we did at Old trafford yesterday. Despite the loss the supportes never stopped which is another positive this season. Gonners for ever.

    Dear Wenger,

    We are tied of your LAME/CHILDISH excuses ie we have used a young team, injuries, tight fixture etc. Man U are experiencing all those at the moment. Fedinand, Vidic,etc are injured. The team that slashed you, are exactly the same age with Arsenal. In addition we would not expect a team of Arsenal’s calibre to be experiencing such perenial complaints. Blame it in the technical bench, which you are heading.

    Open to positive critism, escapism doesnt build but generates more cycles of blame and critism. Simply carry out A SYSTEMATIC dygnosis of the situation at hand and take the corrective action. Everyboby even kids know that Arsenl’s main problems are three fold ie to strengthen the team in the following areas. These were clearly splet out at the end of the season. You even went ahead to promise a “busy Summer”. We are yet to see. Managers are supposed to be relied on but not liers.

    1. Experience to beef up the young players
    2. Defence which has been leaking in alot of goals
    3. Height/ strength to give the team a compititive edge

    What you are doing is to the contrary. ie still splashing funds on the teen players who are still not needed or end up being sent out on loan ie still admantly supporting the failed youth policy. No attention is being given to defence.SELLING OUT THE BEST PLAYERS WITHOUT APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENT.

    Mr.Wenger, fans are not fools, they are watching all that. The support you are crying for from fans is simply built by doing it right and not by calling for it. You built it but your complacency is fast killing it. You simply need to apply a scientific approach to the issues at hand.

    You have destroyed Arsenal’s brand equity ie thats why Arsenal has ceased being a destination/retention point for star players. Your utopian thinking has no place in any mordern management.

    Arsenal have always had the most stable fans, the fact that complaints are comming up you may not rubbish them aside with alot of success.There must be some basis.

    We got overwhelmingly surprised when we saw you blagginjg afer qualifying for the next round of Champions League. One would simply wonder whether Arsenal had won champions League Cup.

    Time to wake up and smell the horse manure. WE HAVE NO DEPTH. Depth = when some of you team is out, you can compete. Maybe not win, but compete. We did not compete yesterday, and must find the players that will help us do so.

    Tough times. Something has to change. But what? AW? The Board? Strategy in the market? Playing style? I just hope it isn’t AW, but if he’s the problem … never thought I’d say it … maybe he should go. (Sadness)

    I am sick and tired of hearing Wenger say “If we can find the right players”. WTF! Just once I would like him to describe what he considers “the right players” to be. Perhaps he means the “cheapest” players?

    He says: “We have the money to sign players. If we find players who can strengthen our team then we will do it”. Well Sh*t, where the hell are they looking for players at that they can’t find any that they think will strengthen our team. Maybe they need to follow some of the scouts from our rivals around because everyone else seems to find players to strengthen their clubs, except Wenger. There are plenty of players the he could get to strengthen the team without breaking the bank.

    He continues and says: “If we do not do it, it is because we don’t find them.” Well F**K, why didn’t he say so! I will help him start looking for them right away!

    Excuses, that’s all that is. Excuses are like A**holes, everyone has one and they all stink!

    One more thing: Huge ups to the away fans for singing their hearts out despite the happening on the pitch!

    Tell wenger to call me. he can tell the 20 to resign and appoint me. i will find him not just a defender and a midfielder but i will find him 11 players that will strengthen our squad. here is your first 2. For less than what u got for nasri i will get u scott parker and gary cahill. not that hard to find. for what you recived for clichy and eboue i will get you samba. straightaway this improves things cos. give me the money budget u got for fabregas and the money u get for bendtner and i will get u the players that u need and all in 48 hours. oh i will also sell those total waste of spacez almunia arshavin chamakh rosicky squillaci traore and replace them within the money i get.

    WRITING ON THESE SITES WONT CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!!!
    WE SHOULD ALL DO WHAT NEWCASTLE DID AND THATS PROTEST PROPERLY.
    THE BOARD AND WENGER DONT GO ON THESE SITES SO THEY DONT KNOW HOW WE REALLY FEEL,ALL THEY SEE IS THE AMOUNT OF SEASON TICKETS ARE SOLD.
    WE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE TEAM BUT I THINK NASRI IS RIGHT WE ARE A BUNCH OF SO CALLED SUPPORTERS WITH NO PASSION!!!!!!
    IF YOU DONT LIKE WHATS HAPPENING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT INSTED OF JUST SITTING IN YOUR CHAIRS AND TELLING OTHER PEOPLE HOW YOU FEEL WHO FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME.
    PROTEST PROPERLY LIKE ALL THE OTHER SUPPORTERS HAVE FROM OTHER CLUBS OVER THE YEARS.
    SO DO YOU THINK ANYONE AT AFC GOES ON THIS SITE???
    IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!

  66. GIVE WENGER TIME! LIKE I HAVE ANY OPTION RIGHT NOW. I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE HOW MANY YEARS EVRA HAS BEEN AT MANU. I SAW HIM YESTERDAY AND I SAW WHAT CONSISTENCY DOES TO A TEAM AND NOT BUYING AND SELLING. I DON’T CARE HOW MANY PLAYERS YOU BRING TO THE THE CLUB ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THAT YOU BUY TOP,TOP PLAYERS, AND THEN KEEP THEM TOGETHER FOR ABOUT 3YEARS WITHOUT BREAKING SELLING AND BUILDING AGAIN PERIOD! YOU BUYING JUST ANY PLAYERS SUGGEST SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THAT YOU ARE NOT AMBITIOUS.THE DIABYS,BENDTNER,RAMSEY,JECKINSON,DJOUROU,GIBBS,FRIMPONG,KOSCEINY,(and for all the love i have for him)ARSHAVIN,WALCOT,GERVINHO,PARK,CAMPBELL, ALL THESE GUYS SHOULD BE SUBS OR RESERVE PLAYERS. THE FIRST TEAM PLAYERS SHOULD POSSESS PREMIERSHIP OR LA LIGA 1ST TEAM EXPERIENCE,PHYSICALY STRONG,WINNING MENTALITY AURA,HIGHLY TECHNICAL, STRONG CHARISMA. WITHOUT THESE WE ARE IN FOR A FINANCIALLY REWARDING SEASON,AN ALMOST THERE, AND MOST ESPECIALLY, A TROPHYLESS SEASON. WONDERFULL!

    So what he is saying is that rosicky and diaby are better than players like kaka, hazard and sneijder. This is ridiculous. The players we need in by Wednesday are hazard, mvilla and either kaka or sneijder a striker like podolski Benzema or tevez and either mertesacker Vertongen van der wiel samba albiol Cahill or jagielka.

    Wenger please buy Mats Hummels to help Verm, Jans Vertonghen as cover for CB and as DM + scores goal. Get Hazard and Fernando Llorente who I believe would help RVP a lot. We need a LB as well gibbs always injured and Jenkinson is ok but could be good for the future. Gunner for life.

    no need for this army of people looking for a defender – a striker – a midfield holding player – a programme seller – a groundsman – a lady to wash the kit…blah blah blah

    no good having these obviously ‘white-stick’ wielding morons on the job…
    we’ve all known for months whats been needed – but while our direct opposition have all been loading up…our rudderless ship has been at anchor just counting the cash & waiting to try and save the odd 10p here n’ there
    joke !

    Listen kids, I have had enough of your rubbish you all think you know whats right. Well to surprise you I have bought a defender, 2 midfielders and a striker. The only problem is they have flights from Mongolia to england just once a month. So hold on re-inforcments are on the way. and yes I did what was right for the club. I got all of the above in the transfer fee I got for van persie when I sold him off to real madrid.

    This is a joke two day’s before the transfer window closes.
    Mr Wenger say’s we need a few players and he will try and buy
    them. What the HELL was he up to all summer his head must have been buried in the sand. Sir Alex had his business done and dusted long ago. Mr Wenger was asleep at the Wheel.There
    is a Question to be answered has Mr Wenger lost it. I think so.

    Wenger got 2 months after the 2010/11 closed, did he bought player to cover his backline.NOPE. Now we got 2 day to finalise dealing can we hope anything? also. NOPE. He for the last 6 months has been deceived by his own stubborness. Lost Tactical now how and still delusioning that he can bring young,unproven,inexperience player like his so call invinsible. Quarter of that team are players that has won World Cup or European cup and more than half of them are experience international players.His winning after taking over from Graham was fortunate, why because he inheritage the strogest defence in English League that Graham assembled. He just bring a little bit flair to make the team winnerble. So it just pure luck. The backbone of previous success was defence. Do we have a good defence hell NO. You cannot put sheep in the lion den. It suicidal. Wenger has lost it we got to admit although the so called Wenger Lover wont accept this.
