(BTW Bergkamp was already at the club when Wenger arrived) but he didnt take it to the next level and eventually everyone caught up with his scouting methods, improved on them and starting signing the top talent in Europe. Wenger was far too much of a control freak , for me. He didnt adapt, he thought his methods were always the best and finally everybody worked him and his teams out.

Did Rioch sign Bergkamp? How did he manage to pull off a coup like that?
Well let's say that Wenger built his team around Bergkamp.
Sometimes it's just that one star signing that can make all the difference, I don't think Arsenal have signed that kind of player since Henry. And Wenger did try, because he signed Ozil, but it turned out he wasn't as good as expected.. I think the failure to keep hold of Fabragas didn't help, he was looking like the man to carry you.
