Wenger faced media today ahead of the match versus Manchester City at the Etihad. And yeah it was an interesting one. He was mainly talking about the transfers, injuries and the Sanchez-Agüero debate of who is the better player!
As always, he started with the team news, which we already knew beforehand. Updates are that Gibbs was supposed to have a test today, Chambers is back from illness and available for selection but Welbeck was ruled out for another 2 weeks. Anyways they all were not a part of starting XI against the potters, and I don't think Wenger is going to make any change in that winning combination. Talking of Debuchy, he said that the player is completely destroyed by 2 big injuries in first season with the team and he thinks that the push by Arnautovic was not needed and refused to comment further on the matter stating that he is not a specialist. So that's it on this front.
Moving on, Arsene also confirmed Bielik's arrival saying that he'll be having medical today. On talking with the media elsewhere, Bielik told that he'll be signing the contract on Monday. He went on and added that he is not ready for first team football yet. And also touched upon the interest from Hamburg, whom he rejected for a chance to work with Wenger. And yes, he dismissed the rumours of Move for Gundogan by saying that he is not a defender. In Wenger terms, it means we are only in market for defenders. No more DMs for now!
Finally coming to Sanchez-Agüero debate. Yesterday pellegrini declared Sanchez as the best in the league ahead of his own player Agüero. Wenger also did the same and in the process hailed Alexis for his Work rate, fighting attitude and 'infectious' enthusiasm. He stated that both the players are the best in the league thus acknowledging the class of the Argentine.
Will be back tomorrow.
