Does anyone have any soothing ointment? Because Arsene Wenger just got BURNED.
A couple of weeks ago, the Arsenal manager talked about yet another potential star he was looking at before a rival club went and snaffled them up – Man United’s French wonderkid Anthony Martial.
He explained that he had “known him since he was a kid”, but that in Wenger’s opinion at least “he’s more of a winger-type”, where Arsenal “have players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis Sánchez and Joel Campbell.”
Well it seems that those words haven’t gone down too well with Martial agent Philippe Lamboley, whose client has done a really good impression of a striker since arriving at Old Trafford.
“Anthony is a true modern centre-forward…” retorted Lamboley. “I am surprised by the analysis of Arsene Wenger, who has apparently been following him since he was a teenager.”
“If the analysis Arsene Wenger has made is in order to justify not having signed Anthony, I accept he is a winger.
“But in football, there are those who follow players and those who buy them.”
