Wenger: we have brought in top quality players

Arsene Wenger has insisted that his new recruits this summer will prove themselves to be worthy Arsenal players.

Wenger is under pressure to spend the money at his disposal from the existing transfer fund and the sale of Cesc Fabregas and while he aknowledges their lack of experience, and that he needs to buy in certain areas, he has urged Arsenal fans to trust his judgement.

“If you look at the players we have brought in, you’ll notice we have brought top quality players in. Jenkinson, Gervino, Miyaichi, Chamberlain, you will soon see they are all top quality players. We haven’t lost so many players. We have lost some big players but numbers wise we should be capable to do well.

“If we find quality we will add it to our squad. We work very hard on it, I must tell you. We want to add top quality to our squad, that’s all we want to do. At the moment I feel we are a bit short in midfield. We are bit short at the back as well, maybe”.

When pressed about why he hasn’t yet added experienced Premier League players to go with the exciting youngsters, Wenger said, “The main reason is that we have not found them. It has nothing to do with the money, it’s just the quality and availability.

“I have shown in my 15 years here that I am capable of making the right decisions for the right players. And in the last 15 years you have seen more world class players here, or as many as anywhere else in the world.

“So you have to trust my judgement”.

Wenger’s comments come on the day the club finalised the signing of 19 year old Costa Rican striker Joel Campbell and said that Ryo Miyaichi will be in the squad for tomorrow’s game against Liverpool.

Yeah let’s go fuck shit up!

odear

I want to reply to this but I don’t even know how

Jaaaaaamie

I couldn’t have put it better myself. Shit is definitely going to get fucked. Up.

Savage is a Dave

Then Walks will fuck it apparently. Bad times.

Krispyduck

That’s the spirit walks! Tired of moaning gooners. Hazard, Jagielka, and maybe another striker and we are in this.

Arsetroll

Did you read what he said? In Wengerish it means “No more signings”.

docjay00

Correction: It means “No more signings except for Joel Campbell”

Milo

Fucking Yeah!
Just sign Cahill, Jags, Hazard, Mata et al. and we’ll win the fucking league….

What’s that you say? We already have the quality…?

Cunt!

John B.

No signings are coming. Nonetheless, I was amused by your complete inability to comprehend Wenger’s words today.

Zzzzzzzzzzz

What a cock ! Top quality my arse.

Andy Mack

‘Top quality my arse’

I think you should be on a Spuds site!

Savage is a Dave

Is that you Ivan?

Hurley

Sorry but he has not signed a single “top quality” player. A top quality player would be someone like Benzema, Aguero, Hazard, Mata…We have signed kids with potential to be good if they don’t get kicked out of the game and someone who looks quick but really quite retarded.

Mark

It might be true but actually we need World Class players. Like Fabregas, Van Persie Arsene.

skinnygooner

not really what the fans wanted to hear…. we got in quality, theres that fuckin word again! and were maybe abit short at the back. come on wenger do me a favour, ya cunt. ps nasri is a cunt aswell..

conjoy

That a rather casual back-hand to the rest of te league. He can’t find te quality he is loking for in any Prem clubs.

Popeye

Jumps off cliff … I can’t take it no more

NB

Move over, coming through.

Sk82cr8

No disrespect to the players listed..but really?! Think Wenger is growing more and more delusional in his old age 🙁

Alex

You just keep on digging that grave Arsene. Whatever. My blood pressure is high enough without worrying about this. Top quality…

Popeye

Thud !

skinnygooner

ne na ne na ne na

GoonerMonkey

*charges up de-fib* Don-choo Die on me Pops!

Luke

Hahahahaha gotta love our fans

Popeye

Oh bollix no cliffs in my part of Kent .. Off to the coast

NB

Train tracks? Though there’ll likely be delays. Never know, might buy someone by the time train comes.

Stuart Finn

To be honest I’m a bit pissed off with this. Does he think we are idiots? Or has he just gone senile?

Arsetroll

He`s mad. Absolutely insane.

P-MG

He must be reading twitter and trolling.

AmericanUptheArse

FFS, disillusions of grandeur!

MJG

I don’t doubt that they’ll be top quality players in the future, but we need a few experienced ones now to guide them. That’s all AW. Just a few, please? I asked politely. If you need another reason, just look at our annual injury record. The squad’s already a bit thin, and we’ll need to cope with the rigours of fighting on (hopefully) four fronts.

Zzzzzzzzzzz

Anyone think we will get more than a point from the next two league games ? Can’t see it myself. Even more worrying is the fact we could get spanked in Italy and bang – season over. That should give Wenger plenty of time to identify some quality !!

D3Gooner

“If you look at the players we have brought in, you’ll notice we have brought top quality players in” -Wenger
Then why continue by saying its been hard to find more quality when his definition of signing quality is unproven talent/kids?!?!
Every player is available, they just have a prize. Surely Mata is of more quality right now than those on the list. Same goes for G.Cahill or Jagz!. If he’s not going to buy players than he might as well come out and say it, no point giving us false hope.

Popeye

I’m giving up my I phone seriously I never wud look at the pc or laptop this much it’s the only way to keep my sanity .. Il end up as mad as wenger …

Jay

Not a die hard Wenger fan, but in his defence, he did say quality and “Availability”, and out of the players in the Premiership who have been linked to arsenal and fit those roles are Cahill and Samba, which are seeming to be hard bargain buys

The Gimp

This doesn’t bode well for further movement in the Transfer Market.

Boys Vs Men and a great bank balance, certainly not what i was hoping for but at the end of last season he said the thought he was doing right, whats changed since then, nothing

Boys Vs Men, you need experience to develope Quality

Witoldo

Any idea why he listed Miyaichi? We bought him last January (when, by the way, everyone knew we needed a centre back), not this transfer window.

Nope.

LANS

OzzieGun

What does “LANS” mean?

Goonerific

Like a new signing.

Paul Bryan

Arsene needs to understand that it’s comments like this that alientate the fan base and make it more difficult for us to sympathise with his plight. Now is not the time to be making claims that he can’t be held to account for until a couple of years down the line when we’ve had a chance to see what these kids are like. It just feels m ore and more like he’s trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I’m a loyal fan of his and I always try and see the glass as half full, but my patience… Read more »

Oz

Ahhhh, I think I’ve worked out what the problem is.
Wenger can’t count:
“We have lost some big players but numbers wise we should be capable to do well.”
And:
“I have shown in my 15 years here that I am capable of making the right decisions for the right players.”
No Arse, 15 minus the last shite 6 years = 9 years.
No wonder Arse can’t spend, he does know the difference between big numbers and small numbers.
Can you count how many fingers I’m holding up at you at the moment Arse?

Josh

The biggest crime Wenger is committing this summer is of killing the passion in the supporters. Ive never felt so detached from the club/players and so little faith in the manager to turn this around.

Witoldo

I think all of the complaining and message posting shows that the fans have plenty of passion. Lukewarm fans wouldn’t behave like that. The crime is that the passion is being directed against the team and the management instead of in support of it. I doubt that it’s only the fans who believe the club needs an infusion of quality–if you look at the players themselves, Wilshere, Arshavin, and most recently Walcott have all said publicly that the club needs to buy at least a couple of top notch players. If Wegner doesn’t buy, those players might consider leaving soon… Read more »

chris

I nomaly wouldn’t get involved in this, from an insaider point view, this getting alarming the way the fans are turning on the team this was one of the issues discued in our meeting held after the Newcastle match, Asene would not let the cat out of the bag trust me four new signing have are almost complite as we speak one of them a well talked about player by arsenal fans, I can confidently confirm this in the next days from tuesday you would see two new faces. Let’s support the team. and get our season started. Regards

Paul Bryan

I really hope yo’re right. I feel slightly better.

Witoldo

Mr. Insider who has trouble spelling, are these four new signings or four “like a new signings” when Wilshere, Gibbs, Djourou, and Rosicky come back next week?

Savage is a Dave

LOLZ!

Arsetroll

Did you mean “from an insane point of wiew”? 🙂

Raio

yh yh . . .

G4L

Wenger is a dick…is he serious right now??? Wtf is wrong with this old fuck..get him out please!

Chris

Arsene Wenger is running the club into the ground and no one is there to stop him because there is such a cult of personality surrounding him at the club. There will be no new players and Arsenal will struggle to finish 5th or 6th in the League. RvP is sure to leave and so will Theo. It is astounding that no one will step in and stop the descent. Its hard to tell at this point whether its arrogance or pure delusion. Regardless, make no mistake, Arsenal will not achieve again until Wenger is removed.

EddyG

This season was meant to be our worst for many years, but yet after such a horrible start, we’re third. You think we’ll be going backwards when the team is still developing and have stronger support? Why are Theo and RVP sure to leave? You are so pessimistic, sure you’re not a sp*rs fan? Fuck off

Andy Mack

What do you expect him to say?
Would you prefer;
‘We’re looking for quality players;
1) but they’re not for sale,
2) but they don’t want to move down south,
3) but their clubs want unrealistic money,
4) we’re talking to some but don’t want to say who because the chavs’ll be round offering silly money if we do.

Aran

We’re gonna win the league!!!!

Arsetroll

Yeah let`s fuck everything up!!

Victor

You guys are fucking nuts to go wenger bashing when transfer mkt is not over yet. Why worry?! Trust me, he will show hand on dateline day. Definitely we will get who we want when the offer given to the selling club is a take it or forget it.

Witoldo

Ya know? This is exactly what I was telling my fellow Gooners last Septebmer and last January. I won’t get fooled again.

Raio

look at how many players arsene wenger has bought on the deadline, and look at how many of them are shite. I’ll let you do the research yourself, you shall be surprised.

EddyG

who’s shite? Arteta? Mertesacker? Benayoun? Santos?
neither of them have been horrible. Park hasn’t made an impact, he’s one I’m willing to accept as being shite, but the others are good players. Benayoun was always going to be a squad player, and it’s hard to come in and only play from the bench and a few starts. Unfortunately Santos and Mertesacker have been injured. Arteta’s been a vital part of the Arsenal team this season

Den15

Arsene Wenger couldn’t be more out of touch with the supporters if he lived on Mars and teleported back and forth to training every day… It is ridiculous to suggest nobody good enough is available. Everyone is available…. For the right price. Nobody will give you their best players for bargain prices Arsene, get with the times or fuck off!

Highbury_Squirrel

I just don’t get it. Why is he so reluctant to spend? It’s maddening. Does he really think there arent players out there better than squillaci? No better midfield options than Rosicky? No strikers better than Bendtner? There are loads of players out there better than what we have but so far he seems incapable of signing them. I want to support you Wenger I really do but you make it bloody hard!

indian gooner

Delusions of grandeur by monsieur wenger. He thinks most of us are dumb idiots who know nothing about football.Quality players like chamakh,squillaci,almunia,diaby,rosicky will win us the quadruple. I think hell get the sack soon.More and more people will turn on him making the emirates an unbearable place to be on matchday.

signings or sign off.

The irony of this comment is beyond belief. Who do you think we are man utd,real,barca etc. Just 7 yrs ago we were @ highbury with a 38 thousand seater stadium. Delusions of granduer indeed.

Fed up with all these moaning bitches – man up aand stop acting like you got viginas.

είσαι μαλακας

fuck you , your fuckin family of fuckin mother fuckin retards and all those cunts who continue to support the fuckin cunt who s trying to fuck with our intelligence and our money. I seriously will pray every single day that you and every one you love die a horrible painful death and your bones fuckin rot cause that s what every akb cunt like you deserves.

EddyG

lol, είσαι μαλακας thinks he’s got intelligence. chill out

“In Arsene we are lost!!!!!!!”

tagar

He will surely sign. I am confident of that !!

Popeye

Tears rolling down face.. Some of these speeches are churchillian !!

Good-Bloke

I’m with you Arsene…

…can’t really say why…

…but fuck it I’m in!

I would still like to see at least one midfielder added.

COME ON ARSENAL, LET’S ROUT THE SCOUSE MONKEYS!!!!!!

Ebd

What are you guys bitching about? He has built a team that can compete for the title! Only problem is it’s Ligue 1. Emirates is going to be a nasty place this season, this has really become a joke now, he’s blatantly taking the piss to the fans.

Tripp Page

So for the past 15 years I have been fantastic at taking a shit. We are talking A+ stuff here. There was a time only 6 years ago, I would be in and out and not even need a piece of toilet paper. Today however I am receiving a lot of pressure from my girlfriend that my shitting methods have gone from tip top to pure crap. She says it started when I began shitting in the kitchen sink and using DVDS to wipe my ass. I keep telling her that she needs to trust my judgement, I’ve been doing… Read more »

Begeegs

After reading this, your girlfriend isn’t the only one who thinks this….

tsiptsip

That’s fucking brilliant mate.

Chris

He’s settin the club back years. It could take 5-6 years to recover. Wait till RvP leaves. And if any of you think that Wilshere is going to stick out not being surrounded with quality, you’re crazy. He’ll lead as soon as he can too.

Vinnie

He doesn’t help himself though really. Some things are just better left unsaid, even if he passionately believes this. Still think he’ll pull one out the bag. one

Arsenal Whinger

I want to judge him at the end of the transfer window, but other clubs strengthened their squads before their pre-seasons even started. We’ve just been dicking about. My faith in Arsene and the current board is getting seriously tested. Seriously, WTF is going on at Arsenal? The players we need must be out there, Arsene just doesn’t like paying the RRP. Just pay the money FFS, we’ll end up losing more if we don’t qualify for this year’s Champs League, let alone top 4 this season. All the club have done in this transfer period is divide the fans,… Read more »

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Imdeed.

John B.

I’m an insider (I clean the toilets at the Emirates), and I can say with confidence that Wenger is suffering from early onset dementia.

NorthernGoon

I have my opinions on this and to be honest I’m struggling to compose a constructive response. What I would like to hear on this is mr blogs opinion. I’m hoping you’ll have more success than me mate.

Arsenal Bystander

This is seriously a joke.

Stephen

I really don’t know what to say. Buying League One players whose experience is playing teams 40+places below us is not top quality. They maybe good but they are not top quality. I have a sick feeling in my stomach.

This is getting stupid now
