Arsene Wenger is one of the most esteemed managers in Premier League history. He was, for the most part, very successful during his time at Arsenal, although he may not have been at the North London-based side for as long as he was.
In an interview with BeIN Sports (via Sport), Wenger revealed that while he was in charge at Arsenal, both sides of the Clasico divide tried to hire him as their manager. However, he would turn them down on every occasion.
“During the whole time I was there (at Arsenal), Real Madrid tried to sign me two or three times. Barcelona also did it once too.”
At the peak of his powers, Wenger would have been an excellent manager for either Real Madrid or Barcelona, probably hence why their respective boards tried to bring in the Frenchman. However, it was clear to see that he was very devoted to Arsenal during his time there.

Bro i understand it. But you asked me if they signed a star player after the stadium. But they didn't do it before it also. This difference is exactly my point why Wenger was not good enough for either Barca or Real. At Arsenal he was a manager - coach and head of transfers, so their policy was his own policy especially after his 10th season. Don't get me wrong i like the conversation with you. Have a nice day
....one ❤️ bro. Hala Madrid!

You don't get the point. Our board is different from the Arsenal board in terms of signing players. If u still don't get it forget it bro.

Tell me one player he signed before the stadium that was a Big star? Even when they signed Henry he wasn't the big star, no he was sold by Juventus bcos he fcked up there and was not on their level. That's what i am telling you before or after the stadium they never bought big stars. This was Wenger's politics. He wanted to make stars himself. But after they rise and they left for other clubs. What Henry said when he left for Barcelona? I am going there because i want to win CL. Why Van Persie went to United? It wasn't for the money. It was for the titles he was missing. Look now Arsenal's new stadium cost 390£ milions. They sold their old stadium Highbury for 130mil and signed 100£m 10year deal with Emirates for the name of the stadium. You feeling me. On the other hand Tottenham 's new stadium costed 1bn£ almost 3 times more then Arsenal. Did you hear them ? They even raised their level and they still paying for that stadium.

I still maintain the players u mentioned left because they knew Arsenal couldn't increase their wage to a certain level and ofcourse sign world class players to compete for trophies. Back up your debate by naming just ONE big player, just ONE big player Arsenal signed when they were paying mortgage for their stadium...I am waiting.

...having said that. Arsenal board is not Real Madrid board. The way Arsenal makes decisions is completely different from how Real Madrid makes decisions. We sign players we can market and raise revenue too. Wenger then was among the top 3 coaches in europe and would have (arguably) succeeded in Real Madrid. I used arguably bcos I am not God. I can only analyze. Hala Madrid.

Many clubs has build a stadium by this time since. Arsenal was competing with United for the most wealthy English clubs and top 5 the best earning clubs in the world. Their tickets are still the most expensive in EPL. Their best players were not sold in order to raise money. They run away in order to win trophies like Henry, Van Persi, Ashly Cole, Vieira , Nasri and many more. You her all those stories from Wenger over the years that Arsenal were close but missed to sign Ibrahimovic , C.Ronaldo many many other stars. Guess who's fcked up were all those. Wenger had some zealous ideal of building a very young team from players he had found and raised, but in the moment one of those players had raised to a high level they ran away in search of trophies. Even when his biggest competitor and nightmare Sir Alex had retired, Wenger couldn't win the EPL or build a winning team at all.... This is why i think that Wenger was not on the level of either Barcelona or Madrid.

Good analysis, but Arsenal regressed not bcos of Arsene Wenger but bcos they had to sell players to raise money to build a stadium, which wouldn't be the case if he had signed for Real Madrid.

at '98 . He rejected Madrid witch i find a good thing till today. For 22 years at Arsenal he won 3 premier leagues and reached one CL final where he was beaten by Barcelona. Clearly not on the level of either ot the teams. Yes there was a buzz around him in the 04-06 period but after that he clearly showed he ain't capable enough. Barcelona and Madrid are winning teams not almost winning teams...

Who told you that? He was backed heavily by the club every transfer window, but he will refused to buy quality players, claiming they are way costly than their values and that was the reason of our missing out on all the big stars..........this is why he was nicknamed stingy Wenger........the reason for him being stingy was that he was holding shares in the club and never wanted the club in incurred loses so that he doesn't share in the loses.......a bad thinking from a bad manager that get us going years upon years and winning nothing. How on Earth a manager of a club as big as Arsenal will go 9 years without winning a single trophy, but yet had his job. That was a disgrace. Look at his achievements in 22years as coach of Arsenal and compare that with other coaches..........Wenger was a real failure at Arsenal.
U clearly know nth abt the finances of the club so why yabber on
