NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
I liked the account he gave of himself when he was here....but not enough to be gutted we don't have him now, or think we need to be making a special effort to make him a part of future plans.
It was one in a long list of weird Wenger signings made in recent years.
i got the impression Gazidis told Wenger to sign Perez because we were really short of strikers at the time, and that's why he was mostly ignored by Mr W...
i thought he showed real attacking promise and a desire to take on defenders, plus he could hit the target - i'd swap him for both Welbeck and Iwobi - in the same deal...
Perez was good. He was a real threat when he played and looked decent.
Wenger
When he played for us, he looked good. He simply wasn’t given a real chance. Contrast that with the chances provide to Sanogoals and it doesn’t make sense at all.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
When I say 'weird' I somewhat mean half arsed. Same category as Welbeck. There was never a strong chance of them being a world beater so it's kind of one part hoping to be a world beater to 9 parts squad filling.....but it's the amount of these kind of signings we've made that have annoyed me. If you bring in 2/3 you've suddenly wasted enough to have just bought a worldie to begin with and make a real signing of conviction.
I don't mind if the flaming player costs a fiver......just show some conviction and be sure of what you believe the player can be......rather than the halfway house punts.
Perez was a lively striker in the small cameo's we got of him, it's a shame he wasn't given more chances and had to feed off scraps.
As Quince said, just another weird Wenger signing that makes you question whether he was even a Wenger signing at all. Just a waste of time and money.
Agreed. He was direct, seemed to know how to do clever shit like pass and cross, knew which goal we were attacking (unlike half our squad) and had a shot on him. An industrial player, functional, ill suited to our Bambi on ice routine that was very much favoured at the time.

According to Cadena SER reporter, Bruno Alemany, we're in ‘advanced negotiations’ to sell Hector Bellerin to Juventus, with the figure to be around €50m.
