The Bike is a necessity I assume?

The Jan Window isn't.
Wenger doesn't have to buy in Jan. I assume he won't, even though they apparently want a striker.

Wasn't everyone saying we HAVE to buy a striker in January? That our depth is thin and if we want to win the league/maintain our top position, that buying in January was crucial?

Do you have any alternative, though?

Wenger does, however, and if he doesn't like what the January window brings about then he should stop being a hypocrite and quit using it himself! He can conduct all his business in the summer, unlike the situation with your bike. Otherwise he's just spreading the "evil" too.

Everyone and their pet gerbils

Well, everyone isn't Wenger and they don't know the team like Wenger.

I'm pretty sure he knows what his team needs and if he buys in Jan, it may help him win the league or not.

But it isn't unfair.
The schedule is the schedule.

Yeah, he could walk. But how much of a pain in the ass would that be?

Then his co-workers would get to work refreshed and on time while Lex lags behind because of his unwillingness to play by the rules that he can't change individually.

Where have I seen this pattern before..? hmm

Point is, sometimes you have to do what's necessary, even though you might not agree with it

Fair enough, but it doesn't make it unfair.

I am sure half the people started commenting without watching the video and only reading the thread title. Nothing wrong with what he said at all. He does have a point.

I read through the entire thread this morning. It's sad, how gullible people are to sensationalism.

For anyone who cares, here is a transcript of the interview from arsenal.com (http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-i-m-surprised-at-mata-transfer):

Arsène Wenger is surprised at the proposed sale of Juan Mata from Chelsea to Manchester United - because it would strengthen one of the Blues' biggest rivals.

According to reports, the Spanish playmaker will complete his move to Old Trafford this week after Chelsea accepted a bid from United. Wenger admires Mata and says the imminent deal poses questions about the January transfer window.

"I am surprised because Juan Mata is a great player and Chelsea sell a great player to a direct opponent," said the Arsenal manager.
Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others not. I think if you want to respect the fairness for everybody exactly the same, that should not happen

"It opens again a little bit the opportunity of this transfer market because Chelsea had already played twice against Man United so they don't play again.

"They could have sold him last week but it opens at least the opportunity [to question] the dates of this transfer window. Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others not. I think if you want to respect the fairness for everybody exactly the same, that should not happen.
"I just think you would want that everybody is on the same level. Chelsea do not make the rules but maybe the rules should be a bit more adapted to more fairness."

I see nothing wrong with that. He's not whining, as half the people here are implying. How about actually watch the entire video before jumping on to some view? :facepalm:

Why the fk would we need the transcript when the entire video is right here in the thread? Does it change anything seeing it in writing?

by Highburied Fri Jan 24, 2014 9:09 am

Chelsea fans should stop worrying about Wenger but their weirdo manager who unecessary sells a star player. You should ask, whats next?

I think he posted it because people might be too lazy to watch the video but they might read the text (at least that's how I roll Proud

).

No one is "worrying about Wenger" mate. He's speaking on something that concerns Chelsea. How's that "worrying" to have an opinion about it as a Chelsea fan? God...

He's not dissing Chelsea, he's talking about a system being flawed.

He's also spoken many times about winding up the transfer window before the season starts in the summer. People concluded he was just being a sore loser because we hadn't signed anyone and lost to Aston Villa. Then he bought Özil.

If every team played 1 game against each of the other 19 teams, then there was a winter break + transfer period, followed by the second half of the season, it would be a little more fair. Although idealists can always argue the share of home/away games played among those 19 games.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in point out a flaw in a system or calling for it to be improved for the greater good of the sport. Corporates spend billions of dollars every year for fair play measures. Is it wrong to ask for a sport to be more fair to all parties involved?

He does raise a legit point here though tbf to him.

Would laugh my arse off if Mata scores the winner at the Emirates eco smile

It really doesn't Mata Razz

At the end of the day, there is a system in place and one is going to gain anything by abstaining from it in protest.

If Mata scores a winner, then props to Mourinho for achieving a bonus in the grander scheme of things.

Spewing the same boring lullaby that has been repeated over and over in this thread lol. Sigh I should leave this topic.

by Sri Fri Jan 24, 2014 10:21 am

It wouldn't have to be spewn if people got it the first time. Would save everyone some time and effort. Keep hatin' :coffee:

by Blue Barrett Fri Jan 24, 2014 10:24 am

FFS for the umpteenth time, no one is fkin hating on Wenger. He's mentioned a hypocritical one-sided piece of junk and is being called out for it, especially since the original topic was the Mata to United deal.

Anyway, I'm done with this.
