After having seen Arsene's rant about Newcastle's French signings does anyone think that this old man has finally come to the end of his career?
The unbelievable amount of lies he comes out these days is surprising. Before the transfer window opened he said Arsenal were definitely making new signing's and now he comes out with his "no value in the market" nonsense. Granted our manager used to lecture the same but at least he went out and got RVP.
Arsene refuses to change his philosophy, his formation which suit very few of their players and which was based on Cesc. Recently I have heard that his substitutions are pre-planned.
All this while Arsenal have cash in their reserves yet he relies on panic buying and coming out with nonsense rumblings about "value" which inevitably leads me to the conclusion that Wenger has lost the plot completely. Top4 looks even more difficult for them this year with Spurs looking stronger with a manager with greater tactical nous than Harry.
All this while not considering that he hasn't won a trophy for god knows how many seasons now.
So do you think Wenger has lost the plot or do you think he still has it?
Wenger = Finally losing it?

Wayne and Robin
Maybe because it isn't usual over here. Go and check the last time a transfer happened between United and Liverpool. Or United and City (not including Tevez as we didn't actually own him).

Wenger lost it years ago
All he does now is set arsenal up to fail and does it brilliantly.

The longer stays there the better. I hope we nick that Wilshire from them. Our squad will be complete then.

Arsenal has now become Wenger's vanity project. He has all the weapons at his disposal to buy and nurture a great team with a fantastic stadium, however his stubbornness is getting in the way.
I have always said the big difference between Ferguson and Wenger is that although both are great at nurturing youth and finding bargains, it's only Ferguson who is capable of combining those players with the odd big signing when he needs to. Maybe Wenger is scared to spend big, whenever he has spent relatively big it hasn't really worked, Arshavin, Jefferies, Wiltord and Reyes come to mind.
Wenger is/was an incredible manager who revolutionised the PL, however recently he seems to have lost his edge. The Arsenal of today don't even really play the beautiful free flowing passing game that they were so well known for only a few years back, they're full of too many B or C class players.

i think selling his best striker since Henry to their major rivals over the last ten years was proof that Wenger is mental.

To be fair to Arsene though, exactly how much of a choice in the matter did he have? A player in the last year of not signing his contract, who wants away simply because he is coming to the peak of his career and wants it to mean something when he hangs up his boots. Manchester United was the best deal for Arsenal and Van Persie. For me, he showed the player some loyalty and sent it to a club that can meet his ambitions. Sometimes you need to put rivalry to aside.
We did it for Ronaldo, Arsene did it for Fabregas and so forth.

Arsenal have been downgrading for the last 3 to 4 years
I think the moment I realised that I felt they weren't a major force anymore was the summer when they lost Diarra, Gilberto and Flamini and didnt replace them.
The final nail in the coffin was Summer 2011 when they sold Nasri and Fabregas and bought Gervinho. They never really recovered from that and the 8-2 at OT was the end of an era. Still Arsene is happy with his 4th place trophy as it keeps the cash rolling in for Uncle Stan and his own extortionate salary.
So yeah, Arsene has lost it.

What has he said about NUFC's French players?
