Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who endured nine years without a trophy before winning the FA Cup final in May has revealed his regrets in not signing Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Wenger speaking in a sponsor question and answer session:
"I would have loved to have managed Didier Drogba, for two reasons. One, I missed him when he played at Le Mans in France, not even in the top league. I knew there was a good player there and I missed him. And secondly, because he hurt us so much in big games that all this pain would not have happened."
When asked about his biggest near miss in the transfer market, Wenger said:
"My biggest regret, I was so close to signing Cristiano Ronaldo. And not only did I not get him, but he signed for Manchester United. That of course, still hurts today."
Even Wenger admits Drogba hurt Arsenal in his first spell at Arsenal.
