Wenger regrets not signing Bale

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, regrets terribly that he didn’t sign Welsh hotshot Gareth Bale when he had a chance.

Wenger, who has been religiously following the movements of the winger ever since he was a young left-back at Southampton alongside future Gunner Theo Walcott, slipped up and let the Tottenham Hotspur steal him away from right under his nose.

“I must confess it was a huge mistake as he can play in midfield. He struggled at the start at Tottenham, then they moved him to midfield and he has done exceptionally well,” he said.

“The career of a player sometimes depends on playing in the right position.”

So while Walcott transferred to Arsenal, Bale headed straight to their north London rival, where he is now proving to be one of the best players in the country.

Wenger explained to the Sun media that they already had Ashley Cole and Gael Clichy and Bale would have been one left-back too many.
