Arsene 1 Gerrard 0

After Gerrard's well documented comments of late, Wenger responded in his press conference earlier.

As Gerrard claimed:

"Last summer when he was out in the cold and training on his own (following an earlier ban for biting) that's the conversation I had with him. I said: 'Don't go to Arsenal'," the Liverpool captain revealed.


"I would have been really sad and disappointed to see Luis go to Arsenal. With all due respect to them, I said to him that he was too good for Arsenal."


But Wenger, who instead signed Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil for a club-record fee, insists no player would deem themselves too good for his side.

"You're never too good for Arsenal and Steven Gerrard knows that," he said during his press conference ahead of this weekend's Emirates Cup.

"But I can understand completely that he asked him to stay because he wanted him (Suarez) to play with him and have a chance to win the Premier League. But it didn't happen, and anyway, Suarez left."

rounded off nicely indeed

The old man has his bite back. Ever since the his interview after the FA Cup a restored confidence has been glimpsed at with Arsene. Nice to see his beliefs in how big a club we are and strive to become .

Exciting season indeed.
