Everyday or so I check into the sky sports app and recently I've noticed a lot of articles about Wenger commenting on Man Utd.

One day he's complaining about our transfer policy, another day he's moaning about us possibly breaking the transfer record for Pogba, another time he comments on Jose and just now I've seen an article of him talking about Zlatan.

Pretty embarrassing to be honest from an Arsenal fan perspective.

Yeah but but but.. jose has an obsession with Wenger

The Express saying Galatasary want Valencia for £1.3 million. I hope that's a misprint on the Sky App seeing as Chelsea are selling teenagers for multiples of that.

Remember the day someone said Valencia was a 31million target or something ridiculous like that

Monsieur Wenger thinks Zlatan's age will go against him in the Premier League..

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/10525817/arsene-wenger-says-age-may-count-against-zlatan-ibrahimovic-in-premier-league

You'd think he'd focus on worrying about his own team/transfers instead of worrying about other teams..

Rayne Wooney

I stopped worrying about Wenger's opinion 10 years ago, it means nothing, even though I like the man, he has completely lost the edge.

There is nothing on their website about that so dunno where Sky are getting it from.

Yes i checked


Oh and it seems Jose won't be posting on instagram throughout the season, he basically said see ye all at christmas

Does anyone for a second think Wenger brought this up by himself out of nowhere? He was almost certainly asked what he thought and gave his opinion. Honestly, the faux-outrage is way OTT.

Personally haven't seen any outrage that you're calling over the top.

Just a few posts about his comments and then some jokes or digs at his expense. I don't know what else you expect in the football world. When a rival manager makes comments about another teams players even when asked of course some fans are going to make remarks about the manager and whether they respect the persons opinion. Don't see anyone being outraged at all.

Also he had a lot of praise for Zlatan in that statement.

1.3mn for Valencia?

Bite their f***ing hands off please! I'd rather see if Januzaj or Depay can make something of themselves, plus we've got MkhitrwenfwEGHIAOP\#\SODFDSAOIXpksionoin there to start, and Rashford or Martial can likely play on the right if needed. Just get his €100,000+ off the books, please!

Of course he was asked what he thought, and instead of saying it isn't his place to comment on other teams players he gave them a soundbite. Thats the way it works, thats how it always works.

Jose sees Valencia as a RB.. that much is evident from pre season..

Disagree entirely, Valencia is worth way more than 1.3 million. Granted he can be a pain at times but he's not as terrible as we some times like to make him out. He's a good squad utility player (rb/rw cover) and in bigger games I could see Jose using him as a conservative winger.

If we are gonna sell him he's worth more than that paltry sum.

Nice few soundbites from Jose here about the league, has a lovely pop back at Bayern.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/05/jose-mourinho-manchester-united-leicester-city-community-shield

Asked whether Leicester’s title triumph had changed English football, Mourinho replied: “Maybe English football has changed them. This is the only country where everyone wants this to happen. This is the only country where the football structures allow this to happen. In the other countries the powerful clubs don’t want this to happen. In the other countries they do not want to have to share the money. They don’t want to share TV rights. “In the other countries they want to be comfortable and know they will always be the top dogs in the Champions League. They want it to be a competition of two, three or four and if possible a competition of just one. So this is a special country. “You have, around Europe, people who when you listen to them it looks like they are the Mother Teresa of football but they are not. You go to many countries and clearly they are happy the way they are. It is not just about them being powerful. It is also to go to the clubs that can be direct competition and every season steal their best players so they don’t want a league. In this country we want a league. Everybody wants a league. An amazing story like Leicester brings even more credibility to the Premier League and that’s why the Premier League is the Premier League.”

If you actually read what the quotes and not the sensationalist headlines you will see that it's all blown out of proportion. I seem to remember a few weeks ago when Mourinho said something arbitrary and yet the media claimed it was a dig at Wenger. Can't wait till the transfer window ends and the actual football starts, instead of all the sky sports bull**** and mind games.

I'm in the middle of both opinions. Yes I agree £1.3 million is hugely undervaluing the player but, he really isn't a good squad utility player. He's poor and doesn't belong anywhere near the first team. He's been poor, really poor for at least the last four seasons. His form as a winger plummeted and so he was made into a make shift right back. He is never a right back. He has pace and physicality about him along with good commitment but he can't defend properly when playing at the back. He will cost us goals if played there.

We have Jose Mourhino in charge now. The club has spent a fortune in the last couple of seasons. We need "specialist" players, to quote Mourhino. Defenders playing as defenders. CBs playing as CBs. Midfielders playing as midfielders. The days of Valencia as an option at RB, Blind as an option as CB, Rooney as an option in midfield should be well and truly behind us.

I'm astonished that Valencia is still at the club. To think of the players that have left in the last couple of years and yet he is still st the club and getting selected is mind boggling.

Valencia will be first choice right back this season, I'm happy enough with that better than anyone else we currently have including Darmian.

Seeing a lot of papers running the story that Pogba has gotten a "secret" flight to Manchester and is currently going to a "top secret" location to undergo the medical.

Paints the picture of him crouched down hiding in the back of a car while Woodward speeds down the motorway from the airport. :pac:

Never understand why gunner fans come into Manchester threads waiting on a wenger comment

Last 2 seasons posted less and less in them and thankfully it's more enjoyable

1.3 is a complete joke!! For some reason, we value so much of our players around the 10-15 million bracket. In today's market we should be pushing clubs to give us 20-30 imo.
