Wenger's previously said, on many occasions that its time to spend on a couple good players and not done so, I basically won't ever believe a word he says. I'm not too fussed about that, a manager shouldn't be showing all his cards on a daily basis. If you're negotiating for a £20mil player, and they want £25mil, saying every day he's your only target is the single worst thing you can do, saying you've got a few targets with on going negotiations makes the other guys think there are alternatives.
Wengers too worried about a failing player, he already sticks with failed transfer for far too long, I'm sure its been confirmed now we had an offer accepted and agreed terms with that Ruski keeper, then pulled out last minute for whatever reason, considered they agreed a fee means our board agreed to spend it, Wenger chickend out. The French guy, if he was telling the truth ISN'T the secret deal because he said he had a surprise lined up when that deal was 98% done and public knowledge.
Benayoun saying in the press today he decided to leave ages ago because Benitez is a real a-hole. The general trend from lots of promising players(and not so promising ones) who have left due to Benitez is he's a complete ****, tells them they suck, and the theme seems to be unless you play to Benitez's exact instructions all game every game, he'll try and break you till you do only as he says. Considering its often the players doing what they want and showing a little creativity like Benny, who get screwed, well, everyone seems unhappy at Benitez.
Torres after he was gone almost straight away said it was whats best for the club, while Benitez was there it was "if he goes I go" basically. What people say about managers, while they play under a manager means nothing, what people say about a manager after they've left, is pretty much the only things you can believe. Some managers, Wenger, players still say he's great, some like Benitez, are widely criticised by ex players.
