Campbell, Wiltord, Edu, Pires, Flamini. Flamini should have at least been resigned so they could have sold him in a year or two. he also needs to put more trust in older players. especially goal scorers and creative ones. he was lucky Bergkamp, who was an important part of the last 2 league championships, was so loyal to Arsenal and put up with the 1-year contract offers. look at who put ManU in the CL final - old Scholes who probably isn't on a 1-year contract.

Wenger seems to share similar traits with Montreal Canadiens manager Bob Gainey. Hm. Wenger seems to share similar traits with Montreal Canadiens manager Bob Gainey.

I agree whole-heartedly that Flamini's departure to Milan was Wenger's own doing. Instead of buying players to strengthen the time, Arsenal now find themselves in a torrid position of trying to keep the squad together. Great anaysis.
