Is this a joke article?
Cesc been probably 1 of the best players in the league which is why Chelsea are top of the league.
In terms of signing players in more important positions first, then yes, in prioritising them Wenger was right. But how you can argue that Cesc has been anything but excellent astounds me. Easily in the top 3 centre mids in the league.
Nah Cesc is a fat lazy player who makes deals with agents to play for a couple off weeks then loses interest and rests for months under injuries status, Cfc have made a bed they cannot lay in
A deluded load of nonsense from start to finish.
We were not light in his position at the time, but then the injuries came.
AW stated he turned Cesc down in view the midfield options he had, and would have had to sell to accommodate him. IMO Cesc is better than any of the options we currently have, and would have fundamentally improved the (or any side for that matter) team.
That said, he doesn’t play for Arsenal any more, and as the AW pastiche video stated “Let it Go!!”

Mr Chelsea you may dismiss it but he has raked up a lot of nothing assists this season. He's nowhere near the player he was at Arsenal and as the norm he has gone missing since Christmas.
You will see for yourself come end of the season

Hows he gone missing? didnt he just produce 3 assists in chelsea last PL game against swansea?

And got humilated by Tottenham and Bradford. Chelsea were overrun in midfield because of him. Arsenal fans need to get over it pathetic anyone would think he didnt go on strike. How many goals has Cesc got this season? Most assists have come from set pieces. Every season at Arsenal and Barcelona he disappeared 2nd half of the season. He's doing it again if you cant see that I feel sorry for you.
He didnt even start against Bradford and he still managed to get an assist in that freak game against Spurs.
"Was Wenger really wrong in not signing Cesc"
To be honest...I didnt read your article. the answer to your question is "yes".
The decision not to sign him was complelty understandable and I enjoyed the fact that we had gone from a club who had all their best players poached off them, to a club who would stick two fingers up at one of these players when he came crawling back
That being said, he has been an outstanding signing for Chelsea, there is no denying that. He is exactly the player they have been crying out for and with prem experience unde his belt he was a no brainer, for them.
The only real reason for signing him would have been to prevent Chelsea from getting him, which of course is not a real reason seeing as they could have just splashed out on another creative midfieldfer instead. He would not have improved us a great deal, to be fair i dont think his lack of dynamism would suit our style these days. The best we could have done for him would be to mould him into the Arteta carrrier role, but dont think hes discplined enough for that yet
.
He's defintely not as good as he was at Arsenal though
IMO somewhat premature to be making any comparisions between his time at Arsenal and his Chelsea performances.
He has yet to complete a full season for Chelsea and, (as things stand) could end up in his maiden season winning the League Cup, the PL and also break TH14’s record for assists.
He didnt even start against Bradford and he still managed to get an assist in that freak game against Spurs.
-------------------------------
you are one of those árseholes that keep calling that result a freak game.Chelsea was overun by liverpool in the 2 legs of the carling cup but Liverpool cant score hence they went through.
why dont you just go support Chelsea you fat fućk
I think somebody needs a hug...
We have spent about 90 million this year. Assuming this is the limit of what we had to spend and considering purchases of the likes of Debuchy, Chambers Welbeck were actual crucial signings as we would have had no one else to play in their positions at times this season. I guess the real question is would you have prefered Sanchez or Fabregas? We could not have afforded to get both most likely as we had many other issues to sort out.
The Godfather
The club barely scraped the surface of the cash reserves, and finances were negligible in the decision not to sign Cesc.
At the time I understood it because we had just bought Ozil the season before. I thought that his refusal to buy Cesc meant that he would deploy Ozil as a number 10. Wenger still shunted him out wide. I know Ozil has played out wide before, but let's be honest, he has looked so much better in a free central role. So it didn't make any sense given that Ozil was still being deployed in a position where he has been least effective.
With that being said, Cesc wasn't a priority and we needed a defensive midfielder, a centre back & a striker. Welbeck simply doesn't cut it for me, so I still think we need one (although given the quantity of strikers we have, it is unlikely). We have a centre half which is good and I think we still need a DM. Coquelin has done well but Arteta and Flamini will be leaving soon so there will definitely be space for a DM.
Could we say he was wrong? Possibly but I can fathom why we didn't go for Cesc at the time. In hindsight it hasn't turned out to be the best decision he's made.
Not signing Cesc is the reason we dont compete for the Premier League title this season. We wouldnt even noticed that we miss Özil due to his injury.

Somewhere in there im sure they talk about our cash reserves and the fact they are not just there for transfers but there as a buffer too. Im pretty sure we couldnt have spent much more than we did this season
That being said, even if we had another 30 million left would you or a single person on here say they would want to spend it on a deep lying playmaker? Pretty certain not a single person would prioritise that position so why are you getting all sentimental about Cesc? Why did you not clamour for us to get another deep lying playmaker when it was obvoius we were passing up on cesc?
Cesc wasnt needed but to allow him to go to Chelsea and Mourinho was unforgiveable. This faking clown would even give us Demba Ba on Loan and hates everything about Wenger and Arsenal.
If i was Wenger i would have said no your not having him u fool and signed him.
If he went anywhere else i think 90% of the people on here would have been happy. They fact that he went to Chelsea is what pees most people off.

They were winning the game when he came on agaainst Bradford and again Spurs cut through Chelsea midfield with ease because Cesc doesnt have the discipline or positional sense to play a deep role in midfield. Its why he failed at Barca and why he is a liability when played in that position. AND ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING TO TELL ME HE PLAYED WELL IN THAT GAME? learn football before debating with me.
He has also been crap against Liverpool both legs, Southampton away so yeah I say he has disappeared again after Christmas.

It doesnt make sense to you because you dont understand football. And it was a new system Wenger had it was going to take time to click but injuries put paid to that system. Germany deployed Ozil out wide and won the world cup.

It was the right decision to make to not go for him. We didnt have the budget to sign him as a luxury and he choose to go to Chelsea. You still dont understand what a rat Cesc is. Yet again you turn this into bashing Wenger but then again your opinion is void because you think Brenden Rodgers is a better manager than him.
