Wenger is a mathematician

From Soccernet: He will sign a new contract yes. Cesc [recently] signed a [new] contract that was agreed before with his initial contract. 'The real new contract is now," Wenger noted. "Nineteen plus eight is 27. There are not many [longer contracts] - but when you are 19-years-old and are already a regular player in the team, I do not have a problem."

8 years?! Do you know what can happen in 8 years? For one thing he can end up being the dump of the season. Or he could write a book and end up being sold. Or he could start dating another Spice Girl and start crying at a World Cup. Just ask Marcus Stewart or Thomas Brolin or any young French player that played for Liverpool under Houllier's reign. I bet they thought they were hot shots too. But look what happened to them.

And what is it with football managers and their need to prove to us they can count all the time? Like we don't know what is 19 + 8, tsk. Wait a minute, what is 19 + 8?

.................................. oh, 27.

See I do know. Cause I may not be able to read but I can definitely count.
