Arsenal: 8 Incredible Urban Legends You Didn't Know About

2. Arsene Wenger Owned Patrick Viera

There are many who complain that Arsene Wenger doesn't buy world class talent, and there are also those who claim that Arsene Wenger doesn't develop young players now that he is signing the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. Make your minds up. The Frenchman can't catch a break when it comes to the opinions of people: the same people who said Aaron Ramsey wasn't good enough to be in the squad before his revival; that Wenger should be fired and that Gazidis should step down and that the money grabbing Usmanov should take over and that we should become the new Man City. One of his biggest critics appeared from an unlikely corner. Step forward Patrick Vieira, who publicly announced that Wenger doesn't sign enough world class players. In Wenger's trusted fashion, he responded calmly, "I didn't sign Vieira when he was world class." Owned. So Is It True? It is. Vieira ran to the press, threatening to quit Arsenal because Wenger didn't sign enough world class players. Arsene simply reminded the French star that he wasn't a star when Wenger signed him.
