"Arsene Wenger’s statue is soon to be unveiled at The Emirates.

Arsenal have been working on the specially commissioned bronze statue for some time with a view to having it in place to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Invincible season."

This one, but large enough that a regular-sized human can comfortably stand between the legs.

The top third of him looming over the side of the stadium to peer within.

Upon reflection, I would be all for this, as long as it’s big enough for him to peer over the top of the roof, and look at the pitch. Colossus of Rhodes style.

It should be Beach Arsene but it’ll almost definitely be the first. I would also appreciate a water bottle being placed somewhere.

I reckon it will be one of the stadium ones, maybe the one with the ball at his feet.

Whenever people discuss statue designs, my brains always jumps to possible vandalism or inappropriate photo ops. That first one offers more than one unfortunate opportunity. 🙈

Is it me or a statue just isn’t enough for Wenger? This man is responsible for the grounds we play in, stayed with us during the financial issues while rebuffing offers from top clubs like Real Madrid. I know sponsorships are important but I wouldn’t mind some way to include it in the name of the stadium (Arsene Stadium? Wengerdome?).

He worked hard toward and sacrificed sporting success for half his time at Arsenal to ensure the financial stability that things like the stadium sponsorship provide, I’m sure he’s happy to see that continue rather than name the stadium awkwardly after him. He really doesn’t seem like much of a sentimentalist.
