A Quote by Patrick Vieira

When I told Arsene Wenger I was leaving, he said to me, 'I have £25m to spend on a few players.' My answer was, 'Obviously, Mr. Wenger, you are not shopping in Harrods. That will only buy you one good player.' Now I have been proved right.

Arsenal needs Arsene Wenger, but also Arsene Wenger needs Arsenal. For me, he will die at Arsenal. He is like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After you think about Ferguson and United, you then think about Wenger and Arsenal.

Robert Pires

I have got a lot of respect for Arsene Wenger but, reluctantly, I am in the 'Wenger Out' campaign.

Ben Hardy

If you gave Arsene Wenger eleven players and told him to pick his team, this would be it.

Andy Gray

When you a buy a player like Ozil, you know his strengths and Arsene Wenger knows, I think, where he is at his best.

Michael Ballack

I think Arsene Wenger was good for me.

Nicolas Anelka

Arsene Wenger is a good coach. He has authority, and straight away, I can see he helps players with small things to make them better.

Lukas Podolski

Arsene Wenger was talking about comparisons with Johan Cruyff, a player who only comes around every 10 years and Thierry Henry is definitely one of those

Gordon Strachan

Arsene Wenger gave me the belief to keep working and competing. He was not talking to me every day, 'I believe in you,' but it was every now and again. The right amount.

Lukasz Fabianski

Wenger gave me the opportunity to be where I am today. He's a coach that helped me a lot, who gave me a chance, who's always been there for me in the bad moments. He called me, consoled me, gave me good advice, told me what I had to do to become a great player. I can only thank him.

Emmanuel Adebayor

I've got massive respect for Arsene Wenger for what he's done for the English game, and it would have been good to work under him, but that didn't happen.

Gareth Barry

Having not had a chance to review the tape and obviously not been in the tunnel, I will take the Wenger amendment on this one for now.

Phil Cornwell

Arsenal have a great manager in Arsene Wenger, top quality players and an attractive style of play. These were all important factors in me choosing to sign for Arsenal.
