Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger is one of the most respected football managers in the world today. He has been at the helm for arsenal for the past 10 years. He is a firm believer of "beautiful football" that we get to hear these days. He thinks that he can make his team play like Barcelona.
His frustration was clearly seen when he accused Aston Villa for playing the long ball game. He thinks that only his side plays in a manner which is pleasing to any football lover.
For him, the manner in which they play is more important than winning. Yes I know sportsman spirit etc. is all there but what matters in this competitive world is the number of trophies you win and sadly Arsenal are not winning any.
One may argue that this is the same manager who has won many laurels for them in the past but one must also see the team he had at his disposal back then. The likes of Henry, Bergkamp, Ljunberg etc. they were masters. The current team is very young and inexperienced and they have only Cesc to rely upon since Van Persie is out injured.
Arsene needs to spend this summer if they have to compete with the big boys...
