i been telling people that wenger is overrated for years, arsenal have done bugger all for the last 4 seasons, yet the media still love him, beats me, mourinho did almost as much for chelsea in 3 years as wengers done for arsenal in 11 years |
I don't think he's overrated, it's quite commendable that he's able to reach semifinals (and in 2006, final) of the UCL without what you'd say is a top quality team. I mean, Arsenal sure has its share of great players (Fàbregas, Adebayor, Arshavin, Van Persie, Touré), but they also have a lot of very young players (Walcott, Song, Bendtner) and even some scraps of other teams (Gallas, Silvestre). If you compare player by player Arsenal to other teams, like Man U, Chelsea or Liverpool, Arsenal has much less quality. That they somehow manage to fight head-to-head is commendable.
Now, if you said that he still had the fantastic team Arsenal had back then (Henry, Ljungberg, Bergkamp, Wiltord, Gilberto, Campbell, Pirés, Vieira, Ashley Cole) you'd have a case.
