It really is incredible when you think about it. The 'economic genius' Arsene Wenger, has wasted over £60k a week on Chamakh for the past 2 years. I'll take a look at Mike Ashley at Newcastle and Pardew...so lemme see...they also sold their star striker (as we will be this summer). Carroll sold for £35 mil. Wage bill drastically reduced? Check. All the wasters on silly wages cleared off.
Then what did they do? Theyn signed Tiote (who is far superior to Song in every facet) for £2 mil. Papiss Cisse, signed for £10 mil, better than everyone at Arsenal bar RVP. Demba Ba, one of the players of the season, who would waltz into our team in a front 2, signed for a pitance. Hatem Ben Arfa, handy player, signed at no great cost. And what is that I see?
ALAN PARDEW, with a net spend of Zero, having made a profit on player trading, and with a wage bill that is under £70 mil, (over £50 mil less than Wenger then) has managed to take a team, improve them and is challenging Wenger for CL football. I said this at the start of the season and was mocked but I don't look so silly now: Newcastle have a better pool of players than Arsenal. Fact. What Arsenal do have, is more money and a better first eleven. But look at their midfield options , look at that pool of strikers: Ba, Cisse etc....Where Wenger is playing Ramsey in left midfield, they have Ben Arfa. Name Arsenal's creative spark this season please? (and don't bore me with injuries either).
Wenger is a fraud, I have said this a million times. He is the fourth highest paid manager in world football, yet you wonder what he is being paid all that money for. If Pardew can challenge for CL football and get a point at Old Trafford (not lose 8-2 then), and thrash Man U 3-0 at home; if Moyes can get Everton in the top 4 on a shoestring budget; if Redknapp can be in an FA Cup semi, get CL footie on a lower wage bill etc...
I ask again: just WHAT is Arsene Wenger good for?
