I had long conversations with Wenger before I joined Real, and that's how I got to know about Arsenal and the way that they like to sign talented players who can move the ball well.

Mesut Ozil

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.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

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.

Patrick Vieira

I remember Arsene Wenger very well from our time in Japan. I like the way his teams play, with an offensive mentality - it is a philosophy I share. I think he gets the best out of the players he has, and this is the key to his success.

Zico

Every week Rangers have different former players come out at half-time. Spurs should have a couple a former players on the board, who know what the supporters want.

Graham Roberts

I would never say a bad word about Mr Wenger, because he is somebody that makes players better players.

Kolo Toure

For young players, classic games are brand new. For older players, they bring back memories and make you feel good.

Satoru Iwata

Older players who have experienced failure in the past can sometimes be held back by the fear of it happening again, young ones just want to go out and play.

Neil Warnock

I'd love to go back to school for philosophy. I love philosophy, so I'm always reading philosophy books, annoying my girlfriend with that type of stuff.

Parker Young

You sign your life away, basically, when you sign a record deal, and if you have a platinum album, then you go back in and renegotiate.

Trisha Yearwood

Tottenham tried to sign me but I held off and came to Arsenal because Arsene Wenger was here.

Emmanuel Petit

As I've gotten older and I've watched people in productions, I go to the theater when I go back to London and see friends in Broadway, I think maybe there might come a time here to get back up there and prove oneself. It's just an itch; it's a nagging itch to go back there.

Pierce Brosnan

In 2000 I was really close to sign for Real Madrid. I was in Belgium, playing the European Championship. I even took a picture with the Real Madrid shirt because all the parties thought that it was a done deal. But Wenger called me several times and convinced me to sign for Arsenal instead.

Robert Pires

I trust Mr. Wenger like no one else, so if he says that the best way to get my place in squad back would be go on loan, it means he's right.

Wojciech Szczesny

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

Ben Hardy

If you want to continue to be good and perform at a high level and be deep in all areas, you still have to hit on some undervalued players, too. You can't just go out and sign marquee free agents or trade for players when they're at the peak of their value. That's not a formula for long-term success.
