Arsene Wenger Watch

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has called for the transfer window to close before the season starts, claiming that it has a "destabilising" effect on clubs.

The window shuts for Premier League sides on September 2, by which time the Gunners will have played three league fixtures, including a north London derby and a Champions League play-off tie.

The Gunners have been involved in minimal transfer activity this summer, only signing Yaya Sanogo on a free transfer but, as exclusively revealed by lol, have launched a triple swoop for Yohan Cabaye, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Atsuto Uchida.

And, despite having not yet spent a penny, Wenger has called for the deadline to be brought forward so transfer business is concluded before the start of the season.

"I repeat many, many times that the transfer window should be over before the season starts because it is a little bit destabilising once the season has started – to be there talking about what is not really important in football," the French boss told reporters.

"What is important in football is to go out [on Wednesday] night and see a good game [against Fenerbahce].

"All that other stuff is good for the newspapers but it is not real football. What is real football is the quality of the game and, for me, that is always the most important thing."

Thats not what you want to hear from your fans after the first game.

Arsenal really need to fix it otherwise I think Spurs will overtake them.

Arsene Wenger admits he has placed so much importance in the FA Cup over the years that Arsenal's Champions League ambitions have suffered as a result. [..]

"It is important to us and we have always taken it seriously," said Wenger.

"We did not always manage to win it, but we have won it five times during my period here. Nobody has won it more in the last 18 years, so we have always taken it seriously.

"Sometimes so seriously that we suffered in the Champions League after. Many times a cup game was in front of a Champions League game - for instance this week we play in the cup and then next week in the Champions League.

"Many times we lost some players. I remember against Manchester United when we played against Chelsea in the Champions League three days later we lost some because we took the game seriously."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted sacrificing his side's FA Cup chances in previous seasons to boost their prospects of European glory.
"The FA Cup was badly positioned before the Champions League - you always had decisions to make," said Wenger.

"A player who was a bit on the edge - what do you sacrifice? It was always the FA Cup in the end."

He will return to France.

Having said that, Will be legit shocked if Arsenal dont fire him this time. It will be United-Moyesie level dithering from their board, may be even worse than that.
