Arsène Wenger: I was angry when I found out Arsenal had let Harry Kane go

[spursram]

I suppose we will hear this shit every year. There are a few interesting bits, not least Arsenal's injury list.

On the subject of allowing players to play internationals(covered in the article) , I respect that Wenger is very careful to minimise the effect on Arse .
I hope Pochettino has a similar attitude .

Kane has a 'small problem' (Poch) which he is playing through currently .He had little close season due to the U21s and is playing flat out for us . Poch shouldn't allow himself to be pushed into releasing players who aren't at their best .

In the last international break , City and Pool players were allowed to leave early to rest them for the next Prem matches . All ours stayed of course.

There may be good reasons for this , but I hope it wasn't because the managers of those clubs were more forceful in the protection of their club's interests .

“I didn’t know, I read it in the papers,” Wenger said. “I found it quite funny, you know, and you are always a bit angry as well because I asked: ‘Why did he go?’ But at that age, boys can move here and there.”


Oh yes. So much anger. I really get a sense of his anger here. Fuming. Incredulous with rage.

He didn't know Kane played at Arsenal. He accepts kids move a lot at youth level. But, because Kane has gone on to become an international 13 years later, he's angry and that's what they pick up on.

I'd normally agree with you but Harry scored 2(?) goals in international duty and that will only have worked wonders for his confidence.

And I would imagine Poch has thought the same

Wenger has a point about players coming back from meaningless internationals crocked.

I know the players want to represent their countries, but I do get nervous when all our top players leave for the international breaks.

Over the years I'm sure it's cost us heavily.

Can't do anything much about it, but sounding off every now again might make the International manager think twice about running our players into the ground.

Fergie had it right, he'd get his players to pull out of internationals every now and then.

Wenger had plenty of young English talent to choose from when he took over at Woolwich.

He choose French.

Lots of young lads - and their Dad's regretted signing for Woolwich Youth.

The Guardian hates Spurs and is always stirring up muck. Wenger has no case over Ramsey's injury. He played a full game for the filth on his return from Wales and only got injured in the next game (at a point when the goons were well in front and Wenger could have pulled him off to rest him). Coleman has a limited time with his players and should be able to play any team he wants. Wenger did not pull Ramsey out of the squad or mention the 'injury' to Coleman. Once again this just proves Wenger is just a sad grumpy old man with no judgement or tact.

Swings and roundabouts...sure Bergkamp should have been a Spur.
