Wenger will go down as a managerial great. So many players turned world-class under his watch - Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry, Pires, Ljunberg, Fabregas, Nasri. It is unfair to blame him for Arsenal's current fortunes. Arsenal just can't compete financially for the top players in the world. Even if they can afford the transfer fee it is hard for them to match the wage expectations that these players have nowadays. Fabregas was always going to go. It was just a matter of time. A player of his calibre should not be stopped from winning trophies and achieving his full potential. Wenger recognised that. However Nasri's attitude was disappointing and downright greedy. He let Wenger down. Regarding his signings I think Wenger did well under the circumstances. He brought in some interesting young talent such as Oxlade-Chamberlain, Miyaichi and Campbell and also bought some established players from abroad - Mertesacker, Park Chu-Young as well as players with proven ability in the Premier League - Arteta and Benayoun. Not great players and by no means like-for-life replacements for Fabregas and Nasri but good players who'll enable them to challenge for a CL place. Wenger will also rely on RVP and Wilshere - by far the two best players remaining - to step their game up by a few notches, supported by the likes of Walcott, Ramsey, Song and co.
