#2 On Wenger\'s inabilty to sign a holding midfielder
There is no question as to whether Arsene Wenger is a fantastic manager. There is also no denying the fact that he’s managed to sign some fantastic players when they were still in the infancy of their playing careers.
While he may have attracted some criticism for the fact that he manages to let many of these young signings leave later on, his calibre as a scout was never under question. Until Gary Neville did so.
In another example of him seeing something nobody else could have, Neville manages to throw light on the fact that Wenger has consistently managed to elude signing a strong holding midfielder to sit at the heart of the Gunners’ midfield – even after recalling Francis Coquelin from loan.
He also then highlights how Wenger has then tried to compensate for it by making certain players play through the centre when they are actually naturally suited to paly on the wings.
This concerning trend for Arsenal would have gone under the radar had Neville not called it out and now leaves Arsenal fans all over the world gunning for a strong central figure in their midfield.
