Not saying this is true, but who is the last player that truly improved under Wenger?
Seriously the only one who really improved was Adebayor. Wenger made him into a proper striker when people were laughing at him for buying Adebayor.

We have a pretty terrible record with Brazilian players to be fair. Gilberto......
Paulinho was a good player who arrived when we had a clueless manager. And by the time Poch arrived his confidence was shot to pieces.Paulinho.....
Yep. Paulinho gets such a bad rep by many, however he's an excellent player who was so influential in helping Corinthians win the Copa Libertadores and then the World Club Championship. It was obvious that the whole situation around our club affected him greatly and he had to go away and build up his confidence again. Malcom is an entirely different situation.Paulinho was a good player who arrived when we had a clueless manager. And by the time Poch arrived his confidence was shot to pieces.
Mailsport reporting we've dropped our interest due to 45 million valuation.
Could understand that. He'd be a HUGE gamble at that price.

The club was a mess lots of players under performed in that periodDisagree - confidence affecting ability is one thing. What I saw was a complete lack of effort a lot of the time - no excuses for that.

But that last season he barely managed to string two anythings together. Whether he was good enough or not being sold to China and not really wanted by anyone else inspired him to at least give a darn again and get himself back into the Brazil squad and make an impact and earn another move. Whether he would have come to that same place here is anyone's guess.Paulinho was actually decent in his first season we basically let him go too cheaply to China.
Much less of a gamble.We didn't walk away from Sanchez at 42m
Had a whole year under Poch. Basically he was rubbish for us. Lazy b######.Paulinho was a good player who arrived when we had a clueless manager. And by the time Poch arrived his confidence was shot to pieces.
Malcom is much better than both N'Jie and N'koudou. I wouldn't be so sure about them being on for a shock. Having said that, Wenger isn't the right manager for him.Yeah lets be fair about this. Malcom looks a talent but honestly, so did N'Koudou and N'Jie in Ligue 1 the seasons before they came to Spurs and we paid a damn sight less on both of them.
The market is obviously different now and 45 million isn't necessarily a huge sum to a lot of big clubs but to us, at this point, it's still significant.
As I say, he looks great but if Arsenal replace Alexis with Malcom then I think they could be in for a shock.
