I'm sure this point has been made before but why does Wenger always talk about the great players he didn't sign? Does he think it's an example of how good the scouting department is cos I'm pretty sure both fans and players aren't happy that every other week he's saying that he almost signed Ronaldo before he went to United.
If I were you Wenger I'd start reminding people about how you didn't sign Kevin Doyle...
Am a little bit confused why Wenger still likes talking about the players he almost sign .When it comes to talking about players he almost signed, nobody beats Wenger. A man whose catchphrase has practically become "We tried to sign him when he was 18 or 25 ", usually following a defeat in which the player in question has had a particularly good game for the opposition.
A quick Google search reveals Wenger 'almost' signed Eden Hazard,Cristiano Ronaldo, Kun Aguero, Luis Suarez, Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez, David Beckham...and Phil Jones, and, um...James Forrest. No doubt that's just a small sample of the players he's mentioned over the years.
"Yeah, Messi? He's a good lad. We tried to sign him when I was at Monaco"
"Maradona? We had him on trial, but his agent wasn't interested"
"Elvis Presley? Yeah, we tried to sign him, but it turned out he couldn't play right back and he'd been dead for more than 30 years"


Rumour has it Arsene Wenger is going to have a press conference tomorrow to discuss what might have been if his Auntie had testicles.
