Did you see what Wenger did? Very Brave

I think he wanted to go [in the summer] because he didn’t play, which you can understand and as well because he didn’t play at all,” he said. “Sometimes people want you to buy more and more players but after a while you have to look at your own players…

That was the boss on what the summer window was like for Joel Campbell. I’ve always liked the dude, only that the few times he’s come on, he was a bit underwhelming, which makes you wonder how he did so well for Costa Rica at the last World Cup.

I probably would have sold him, almost everyone who plays football manager or FIFA would have, but his performance on Saturday showed why the boss kept him:

“He had to wait, to be patient, to get a chance and he was always on the waiting list,” the manager told Arsenal Player. “He got through a few countries but he is still very young and I never let him go as I feel he is a good player and on top of that he is a team player.

“Today he scored one but he could have scored more so that is something very interesting. You see when he has good players around him he is a good player.”

Wenger’s patience/stubbornness paid off well and I can say, he did well to believe in the lad. We look forward to many more stellar performances from Joel, amen.
