Before we venture into why Arsene Wenger has regressed in the exchange market (next slide), we have to establish his genius and simply how much influence he wielded. Wenger at His Most readily useful A25 milliona'the inflated amount Barcelona forked out for a Marc Overmars [1] (from BBC Sport). A21.8 milliona'the revenue Arsene produced from Nicolas Anelka in 1999 [2], who had been merely a Gunner for two periods and a half. A11.5 milliona'the combined cost of Patrick Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Emmanuel Petit, Alex Track and Mathieu Flamini. A7 million, free transfer, A150,000 and school graduatea'how Wenger created the Invincibles' right back line (Lauren, Sol Campbell, Kolo Toure and Ashley Cole) [3]. Arsene's Calculated Challenges He made rejects like Vieira (AC Milan) and Cesc Fabregas (Barcelona) into world-class footballers. Did some left-field scouting by entering Sweden and pulling Freddie Ljungberg from Halmstads. Ignored a major red flag in Thierry Henry's Serie A failure [4] and proceeded not to only spend a significant amount in taking him to Highbury (A11 million; per BBC Sport), but changed the Frenchman in to a No. 9. Closed Robin van Persiea'branded uncoachable all through his spell with Feyenoord [5]a'for A2.75Amillion. Blind faith may be the term to spell it out Le Professeur waiting eons for RVP to eventually put one good time together. Then offered him to Manchester United for A24 million after the Dutchman converted into Judas (from BBC Sport). Ordered Emmanuel Adebayor for A3 million, when he'd scored four goals in 21 games for Monaco, and offered him for A25 million (to Manchester City) four times later. [1] Converted to around a40.6 million for a new player that did not make a single PFA Team of the Year in three Premier League seasons. Wenger bought poor old Joan Gaspart a bill of goods. [2] At the time, it had been second-most expensive transfer in basketball history (from AFP via New Straits Times). [3] A7.15 million for the Premier League's most readily useful defense. Birmingham United ordered Rio Ferdinand for A30 million (via BBC Sport). [4] In a meeting with FourFourTwo.com, Thierry stated his kind had nothing to complete with his exit from the Bianconeri. [5] Here are some outstanding prices of a young, bold, misunderstood and struggling van Persie (compiled by The Telegraph's Oliver Brown ): William van Persie; Robin's dad: "When my wife and I separated, he stumbled on stay with me until he was in his twenties. I'd difficulty controlling him, until he turned 12. But suddenly he made positive. Football was found by him as something to put his energy into." Rik van der Donk; activities teacher: "Robin was a rascal. He always made a statement [i.e. Van Persie 2 PSV 0!] when he came into the classrooma'teachers had difficulty with him." Carlo p Leeuw; worked with RVP at Feyenoord: "The coach [Bert van Marwijk] asked him to loosen up, but he replied, aNo, I donat need toa, or words compared to that effect. Then he was told to disappear completely. He was that kind of player. You had to keep him small, you know very well what I mean?" Martijn Krabbendam; football writer: "Van Hooijdonk [One of the world's most prolific forwards at the time] was not the kind to be overturned, and I watched Robin drive him away, thinking aWhat is he doing?a He struck the bar with the free-kick, so that you could say he was right. It revealed character." Krabbendam added: "He [Van Persie] was basically a neighborhood child conversing with the instructor [teammates, staff, media, etc.] like he was one of his true friends. He didnat always have the vocabulary to verbalise his feelings."
