He was a right winger until wenger turned him into a striker. Wenger was a great manager when he first came in, the first thing he did was tell merson his Arsenal career was over. He made sure the team all had controlled diets and became more professional. Sounds weird now, but he was the first to do it.

I guess he knew pretty quickly who was going to buy into him and his methods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
