CB is his weakest area in terms of finding talent. Toure and Koscielny are the only successfull CBs he's found. Also don't think we've had a young defender who's gone on to become top class
Strikers? Henry, Adebayor, Anelka, Van Persie
A mix between attack and midfield for me, can't really decide which.
Up until 2013, the defences he's put together have ranged from awful to average, and he's never really excelled with keepers either.
Wenger’s ability to spot a good goalkeeper is about as good as his ability to operate jackets with zips

Ashley Cole?
Seaman was the best keeper to play under Wenger
i think midfielders edge it over strikers, they roll off your tongue.

Seaman, Lehmann and Szcesny are all good keepers. The only one you can call terrible is Almunia. The rest are back up

Sprry I meant centre backs not defenders
Seaman?

Oh yeah, I forgot....Wenger bought him didn't he?
I think it's pretty fair to say Wenger's never bought a top, top keeper, no?
A top keeper is Wenger's weak point. He's put some right pillocks in goal. Poom, Mannone, Fabianski, Almunia. shocking.
Lehmann was Germany no 1. He was picked ahead of Kahn at times who is an all time great. He holds a champions league clean sheet record.
Viviano, Almunia, Poom, Fabianski, Mannone, Shaaban, Wright and so on. From average to shambolic.
Wenger has had one success, and even then Mad Jens was a nutter.
Szczesny is still unproven. Not a top keeper, imo.
I think midfield has to be Wenger's strongest just for finding Cesc Fabregas. That goes down as his best find. Unbelievable player.
Yeah:
Vieira, Petit (sort of), Overmars, Cesc, Nasri, RVP (who went on to be a striker). He even made Hleb, Song, Merida and Ozyakup look good. Plus we've still got Ramsey, Wilshere.

If you include RVP there as a former a midfielder then Kolo also is there as one perhaps
