I am sorry been little bit held up, hence the zero number of blogs of late.
Am back and this time round with some juicy news about Wenger's much talked about trip to Rome. well according to the Prof himself, he went to visit the Pope!
Wenger has come under much criticism after he opted to fly out on transfer deadline day. A day every football fan sits watching their TV sets awaiting last minute star acquisitions.
"Meeting the Pope was an experience I did not want to miss," Wenger told reporters, of a match that was supported by Pope Francis. "I am a Catholic, so it was an experience, and one I accepted a long time ago.
On top of that it was a game for peace and multi-religion understanding. I thought today where we are a bit in front of an international religious war [in Gaza], it was a very important game.
"He is a great person. He shows humility and is available to meet for everybody, has a word with everybody.
"He is also a football fan. He is a supporter of San Lorenzo in Argentina. You cannot be born in Argentina and not be a football fan. He spoke with many Argentinians, so I wanted to be discreet and say, 'It was nice to meet you and bye-bye.'"
When Le Prof was pressed about Welbeck's deal this is what he said:
"At first it was a loan deal, but when they said it was a permanent transfers I agreed," confirmed Wenger. "We would also have looked at loan deal with an option to buy.
"We are in 2014 and you can always be in touch with everybody even when you travel. The advantage of that day was I had to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning for my flight and I was available the whole day."
