A Quote by Per Mertesacker

I was fortunate to play under Thomas Schaaf at Bremen. And I played for Arsene Wenger. So I always felt, let's say, more responsible than others towards the manager and his succession.

All that I can say is that, from my point of view, our manager Arsene Wenger is an unbelievable man off the pitch and as a manager.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Arsene Wenger was always the kind of manager whose belief in his team's qualities was steady as a rock and who approached matters with never-ending patience.

Per Mertesacker

It was a pleasure to play under Arsene Wenger. He was a great manager and I personally thank him for everything as he brought a new philosophy to the Premier League.

Robert Pires

I have been at Arsenal Football Club for seven years now, and I have always shown my full respect to the Club, Arsene Wenger, all the coaching staff, my team-mates, and the fans. I've always felt that I received great support from the manager and the fans, and I am fully focused on getting back to my best.

Wojciech Szczesny

Arsene Wenger is an ambitious manager, and he knows deep in his heart that he needs five world-class players to compete among the best in Europe.

Patrick Vieira

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

I played for Arsenal for more than three years, and I had fantastic moments. Maybe they made me one of the best strikers in the world, because under Arsene Wenger, I learned a lot of things - but you have to move on.

Emmanuel Adebayor

I don't see myself coaching because the intensity of that is massive, and the intensity as a manager, for example Arsene Wenger, is even more.

Per Mertesacker

Arsene Wenger is just an unbelievable manager. I think he's a tremendous person, and he is just as good as there is. You can't judge a manager on one game or on one stretch of games. You judge him over time.

Stan Kroenke

Arsene Wenger has not just brought success to Arsenal. He is a very creative manager, producing almost fantasy football.

Jupp Heynckes

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

Back home in Germany, football people think very highly of Arsene Wenger. They listen to what he has to say and admire his achievements.

Lukas Podolski

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

Ben Hardy

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

When Arsene Wenger called me to tell me that he would like me to come to his club, I don't think you imagine the satisfaction I felt just after hanging up the phone.
