Wenger never seems to find the right players anymore. Mane went to Liverpool, Sissoko will soon be snatched. They are good players and they don’t cost 100 million Pounds. Problem with Wenger is that he has a PhD in obstinacy. Wenger will not budge even when the obvious is right under his nose.

In the last three seasons, Arsenal has been denied major trophies because they lacked that extra push, leadership, signing, ( remember Luis Suarez?) to propel and keep them at the top. A little flexibility will help Wenger.

The EPL is an unforgiving league, without quality signings, Arsenal will struggle and the few quality players will depart next season in search of trophies. Then Wenger will correctly be remembered not as the Invincible but as Specialist In Failure- one who specializes in conjuring defeat from the brink of success.
