I don’t understand that. Have I done well, yes?

Wenger also hit back at long-standing criticism that he is unwilling to spend the money Arsenal have in reserve.
Arsene Wenger’s transfer activity has been recently lambasted with the Frenchman once again forced into a staunch defence of his actions on Saturday after calls from supporters to spend money after the 0-0 stalemate at Leicester. We are ready to do that.
Mustafi (24) is one of the few “available” top class defenders on the market and Valencia admitted last week that they could be forced into selling one of their important players to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
“It is a bit surprising that we come out of a football match and we do not speak about the football, we speak about money. You should be happy because he’s English, 20 years old – but I’m sorry he didn’t cost £55m, so he can’t be good”.
“I quite admire that, in the world where some clubs have so much money, they go and buy players who are £40 million (Dh193m) and are worth £10m”, said Vieira, who captained Wenger’s last title-winning team in 2004. “The flawless example is Ajax when you see all the old players working for the club”.
The draw means the club has gained only one point from the first six available, following their 4-3 Emirates reverse against Liverpool on Sunday.
The 66-year-old spent £35 million to bring Granit Xhaka to the North London club and £2 million on Rob Holding.
“That is for me the most disappointing (thing)”. Anything else than football. On that front, I believe when you conceded four goals last week we have shown a great defensive performance.
Wenger said Ramsey “should be back after the global break”, ruling him out of league matches at Leicester on Saturday and Watford on 27 August and making him doubtful for Wales’ opening World Cup qualifier with Moldova on 5 September. “That’s part of the process today. We analyse everything then make the right signings”. “It’s as simple as that”.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has stated that he is hopeful that Mesut Ozil will feature for the Gunners’ encounter with Watford FC this weekend.

Leicester felt they should have been awarded two penalties and Wenger added: “It’s very hard to know”.
