Patrick Vieira Slams Former Boss Arsene Wenger

The latest reports suggest Valencia are now demanding a massive £50m for 24-year-old Mustafi, a figure Wenger and Arsenal are highly unlikely to pay. “As long as players don’t cost a huge amount of money, people don’t give them any qualities”, Wenger said.

The former midfielder said: “My generation had lots of physically strong players”. Now coaching the New York City Football Club, in the MLS, he also pointed out the dearth of ex-Gunners on the coaching staff of the London club.

Xhaka made his full debut in Saturday’s 0-0 Premier League draw at champions Leicester City, but the visiting supporters made their displeasure plain by chanting: “Spend some money!”

“It is good for the young players who could see a Thierry Henry, a Freddie Ljungberg, a Sol Campbell or a Martin Keown who have been at the club a good few years working in the academy, or working somewhere”.

Reds boss Klopp confessed he thought his team had actually seen more like 90% of the ball at Turf Moor on Saturday, but they failed to create a single noteworthy chance as first-half goals from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray earned Sean Dyche’s team their first points of the season.

The former captain believes that while the squad is still enjoyable to watch, there is a need for a much more physical presence in midfield so that the flair players can then show their skills without fear.

There is also a clamour for the Alsace-born supremo to be held more accountable for his palpable lack of league success as the stadium is now self-sustaining, and for many to stop prostrating themselves at his introducing revolutionary – at the time in 1996 – modernising habits and maximising the talents of hitherto unloved players.

“The fans expect Arsene to bring more players in but if the player’s not worth the valuation, he doesn’t want to spend the money”. He is one of a number of players we are looking at.

Drinkwater added: “We knew last weekend (against Hull) wasn’t good enough, everyone was disappointed, so it was getting back to where we left off”.

“I am an avid fan for the club and it is with great regret to inform you have I resigning from the job working for Arsenal Football Club”.

Spanish journalist and Sky Sports’ source Guillem Balague has revealed a big update concerning Arsenal’s efforts to sign Shkodran Mustafi.

“We looked a different team straight away”, Wenger said.
