Are you really naive enough
to believe that Wenger would bring anyone into this current locker room that is going
to be given a strong voice... have you not been watching, listening or reading about our
club for years... Lehman is a blind Wenger follower, which is the only reason he was even considered... just for a second think of all the strong personalities that have played for this
club that have never been seriously considered even though they have expressed legitimate interest
in participating
in the coaching process... even worse, think of all the
former greats who aren't even allowed on the same pitch as Wenger because they have offered their advice and / or criticism
to the infallible one... I dare you
to find a manager that has distanced himself from his
former players as much as this man... it's the very reason why only one player I can think of has ever
returned to play for Wenger and that was Flamini, which was hilarious considering we were desperately looking for a top quality defensive midfielder but Wenger could somehow find no one better than Flamini
in the whole wide world... let's face it this
club was simply trying
to appease it's disgruntled fans by declaring that Wenger would no longer be given Ca rte Blanche when it came

There is no doubt that Bale needs
to get the hell out of Real if he ever wants
to be the kind of player he once was... this isn't
to suggest that he his skills have diminished, he simply isn't the fiery, determined and aggressive player that struck fear
in the hearts of his opponents... the small fish
in a big pond just doesn't fit his profile... I can't even remember the last player I've seen who has become so invisible on the big stage (maybe Pogba last year)... maybe it's a case of culture shock or maybe he wasn't able
to handle the notoriety that invariably came with his big money signing, but regardless of how it happened this guy is a shadow of his
former self... although I doubt he would ever come
to a team
in such disarray, he could quite easily fill the shoes of Sanchez, who ironically was
in a similar predicament
in Barcelona, as Bale would
return to his favoured left side and would be given the same freedoms that have allowed Sanchez
to flourish... ultimately I think the cache of wearing a Real jersey and competing for the top trophies would be too difficult
to give up for a wannabe
club run by suits who care little about those kinds of accolades
