He is a very good player, a bit surprised they let him go half way through the season. Still needs a deeper, Paul Scholes type of play maker. Will be interesting to see how and where he plays.

spot on Den :tu: Success is even sweeter when more obstacles are put in front of you.

Obviously though some people have a problem whenever a manager or football gives any opinion at all. No wonder press conferences and post-match interviews are such boring affairs.

What is the players can't be found or don't fit into the squad? What if you buy a world class striker and he doesn't adapt to the Premier League? Transfers can lose you a title as well as win you one. It's especially risky when you need them to hit the ground running and more difficult when you consider that we're mid-season. Arsenal fans want Costa but he is at a team that are fighting at the top of the league, in the Champions League and for whom he is on form and looking for a World Cup spot.

Methinks Wenger has a pretty good understanding of football.

Because he has a history of selling top players to rivals as the picture I posted indicates.

So? He said he was surprised not that he hadn't done it himself.

Surprised that another manager had done something he himself has done numerous times in the past? Just sounds odd to me.

Surprised because the club is Chelsea and they weren't under any real obligation to sell. He is surprised for the same reason everyone else is surprised.

Not sure he was under any obligation to sell Ashley Cole...

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 
He's not gone yet...But he apparently wants to, so that's the only reason we'd sell him. Same as De Bruyne last week. If they want out it's pointless keeping them. In an ideal world it would have been better to sell him to a team in another country. Nobody else have made a bid it seems.

Well he wanted to go, there was the tiff with Chelsea over the alleged tapping up and Arsenal needed the money with the stadium arriving. Still, that was 10 years ago. Wenger was asked a question and answered it. That's all that happened. He wasn't even mean.
