Wenger hits back at Bentley

Wenger hits back at Bentley

09 March 2008 - 10:43

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit back at Blackburn midfielder David Bentley, after the England international told Theo Walcott to leave the club if he stood any chance of progressing with his career.

  • Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Gravenberch starts
  • Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Nottm Forest, Sesko dropped

  • Wenger said: "Bentley is entitled to his opinion but it does not mean he is right.



    "I don't know why one player should incite another player to leave a club. It is not his job."



    "When you are in one of the biggest clubs in the world you have to accept competition.



    "If you accept it, it makes you better, if you move down you are down, not at the top.



    "I believe Theo can establish himself here. He is 18 and at that age to play in one of the biggest clubs in the world in a regular position is very difficult.



    "When he comes on he makes a big impact, he's not there completely yet when he starts a game."
