Arséne Wenger: “What matters to me is when you have a club with 600 employees you have the money to pay them at the end of the month”.

“My decision for leaving is due to Mr. Arsene Wenger’s comments about staff after the recent draw against Leicester City”.
“Disappointing” Arsenal lacks physical presence, feels Vieira was posted in Sports of TheNews International – https://www.thenews.com.pk on August 22, 2016 and was last updated on August 22, 2016. “Every game we play we want to win the game” said Koscielny.
Arsenal lost 3-4 against Liverpool in their opening game and could only manage a goalless draw against the Foxes.
The Swiss star had an 80% success rate when it came to passing and that is certainly not good enough to play in the Arsenal side, though Granit does have a habit of losing possession as he tries to ping the ball to the furthest teammates. He’s being really fearless not bringing in players who don’t fit the system he wants to play or aren’t of the value he seeks.
“Now when I watch Arsenal, yes they play good football but I just have a feeling they are missing something – the physical presence, the personality, this is what they’re missing”.
“In the last five or six years, Arsenal went with more of this type of technical players”.
“Bergkamp, who had the flair; Thierry Henry who could finish and had so much power; athletic players with the physical aspect like Sol Campbell; and some really strong personalities with [Jens] Lehmann or the back four”, he told.
Although I agree in principle that being a collective team is better than throwing a bunch of players together in hope they can win something, most teams have quite simply integrated a few players into an already strong side.
“I think he’s a fantastic player, no doubt about it, but I also believe the Premier League is different, and there will be a lot of pressure on his shoulders because of the price tag and expectation”, Vieira said.
The 32-year-old won the European Championships with Portugal this summer and has been a reported target for both Arsenal and Manchester United, with Wenger revealing his recruitment hunt will not be restricted by how old a player is.
He also expressed sorrow at the lack of opportunities for former players.
