Window Cleaner Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 What is wrong with what he said? Nothing but most refuse to accept it as possible. The first team we had could have got us towards the top places last season, maybe 5th or 6th.If Boruc,Shaw,Fonte,Lovren,Clyne,Schneiderlin,Davis/Cork,Wanyama,Lallana,Lambert,Jrod had played every game we wouldn't have been far off, even closer with some solid contributions from Ossie and Gaston. It wasn't possible so we had to play garbage, KD,Gazzaniga,Fox,Gallagher. If we'd been able to keep the same base side this season and added the few missing links then our chances weren't too dusty at all. Didn't happen and now we'll have to see where we land.

badgerx16 Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Why not add Shearer and Channon for that matter ? ( At least they played when it was actually called the European Cup ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Nope, no chance. I very much doubt it would have won the Champions League but Wenger was obviously being tongue in cheek. Would have been one heck of a team, with Fonte, Cork, Rodriguez, S. Davis, Crouch and Chamberlain on the bench too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Why not add Shearer and Channon for that matter ? ( At least they played when it was actually called the European Cup ). Because they retired years ago. We're talking about players we've sold who are still playing, i.e. the team we could have had if nobody had left.

angelman Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 Again, he and the press fail to address why we haven't been able to keep them all. They can sit in their ivory towers and think that all is well in football, or rather they can ignore it, but for the rest of us, we have to face reality. I wonder what he would say to the introduction of a Europe/world wide wage cap of £10,000 a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 1 August, 2014 Share Posted 1 August, 2014 All thru the World Cup, working as a commentator, Wenger bigged up Saint and our player on many occasions.

redkeith Posted 2 August, 2014 Share Posted 2 August, 2014 He does sort of have a point though. Replace Steve Davis with Gareth Bale and you would add another 15 goals to thee side, plus more assists. Walcott for Osvaldo and Ox on the bench. Boruc Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw Schniederlin Wanyama Bale Llallana Rodriguez Lambert Subs Davies, Chambers, Cork, Ox , Walcott, Davis Plus JWP, Yoshida Ramirez Would have been good enough to finish above Spurs and Manu last year, perhaps even higher.

Window Cleaner Posted 2 August, 2014 Share Posted 2 August, 2014 Would have been good enough to finish above Spurs and Manu last year, perhaps even higher. just not playing Jos,KD and Gazzaniga would probably have been enough. No matter how good your starting XI is the real crux between winning and losing comes down to who you have in reserve because your starters aren't all going to play 38 PL matches in a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
