No Arsenal player can be bigger than Wenger

From Peter : Arsenal

Myles,

The speculation and fabrication goes on and on about Arsenal’s transfer ‘dealings’.

Wenger will sign no-one of the calibre of Suarez, Higuain, or Rooney.

Never. Why?

Simple: no-one at Arsenal would be allowed overshadow Wenger himself.

No one can be bigger than the Manager. End of story.

Myles agrees:

As Almunia said, Peter, the boss wants a team of nice guys who won’t shout at him or each other.

That’s a recipe for an enjoyable morning at the training ground.

And it’s a recipe that’s guaranteed failure for the last eight seasons

It’s a recipe that   manages expectations downwards in a very cunning way.
