Wenger has never had a plan, got lucky with the back 4 and keeper when he joined, hadn’t they set a clean sheet record the season before?
He got lucky that he knew the French market and no one else wanted any of the players from France, like PV4 from AC Milan, like Henry from Juventus, beating Real Madrid to Pires.
He then got even luckier that these players ignored his instructions and tactics and won the games on their own to go unbeaten for a full league season.
Then lucky that we have a board that know even less than him about football and so refused to sack him, in fact they could not sack him as lucky Wenger actually picks the board, he is their boss.
Now, then the really lucky part, he goes and cons people again by winning 3 FA Cups in 4 years, because no other club was interested in the FA Cup.
Let’s not forget his biggest piece of luck, the Arsenal fans! They supported him and the team to the hilt, and of course any that don’t are only doing it to make him change his ways and do things the right way, the lucky old senile French bastard.
But they do say , lucky arsenal.

Positively Arsenal 
Arsène Wenger said: “We are very happy to have Alexandre join our group. He has shown over a number of years that he can score goals and that he is a very efficient finisher. As well, he has very interesting technical qualities and a strong character. So he is a guy who is a great addition for us, and someone who will help us challenge at the top level this season.”

is it actually possible that Lacazette is to wear the number 00, the on line shop has him down as shirt number 00

Clearly my renewing Red membership today got the deal over the line. I sensed they needed a little help and stepped in.

“I love good flowing football where the whole team is engaged.”
‘What is your secret to good finishing?’
“First of all you need to have players behind you who pass the ball well, resulting in good goalscoring opportunities. Also every time I take a shot at goal it’s because I believe I can score. I don’t just shoot for the sake of it.
I always try to choose the best option, whether that is to pass or to shoot. I also try to keep as calm as possible.”

Lacazette last season:
1 goal vs Monaco (1st)
1 goal vs PSG (2nd)
2 goals vs Nice (3rd)
*Lyon 4th*
2 goals vs Marseille (5th)
but AFTV experts say he didn’t score against the top sides in France, – probably got their info from a false claim made by another WOB earlier in the week on twitter.

Looks like we could only sign Lacazette because he’s not a top class player. After all, if he was any good, why wasn’t any other top clubs after him? (I seem to recall this being said of Alexis when he arrived).

so with Kolasanic and Lacazette signed, a new contract man hired, a new fitness guru signed, and a new coach signed(and an invincible at that), I’m reliably informed that all Arsenal need to compete for the Title this coming season is
A new goalkeeper
another right back
one, maybe two central defenders
another left back – yeah this one completely baffled me
a defensive midfielder or a box to box midfielder – now I thought the another left back was odd, but how in Hell’s name could anyone think we need either a DM or a B2B, why would it be one or the other, it would be bad enough if they said we needed another one of each, but one or the other.
another forward
and oh yes, a like for like replacement if any of our contract rebels leave
and lets not forget we also need a Director of Football
Just looking at that list, its as clear as day follows night that Arsenal are in a right old mess.

It’s already obvious that Lacazette isn’t good enough.
But just think how good he would have been if we had failed to sign him.
