Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has compared the past months to being in hell as his side prepare to host Swansea on Saturday.
One of the Gunners' most turbulent summers in living memory saw them lose key players Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy to other clubs, with an 8-2 defeat at Manchester United adding extra embarrassment. Wenger managed to salvage something with a flurry of deadline-day signings, though, and will task his new players with restoring the club's title credentials.
He admits, however, that the past weeks have been a struggle. "In my job, you expect to suffer. So that's why when I go to hell one day, it will be less painful for me than you, because I'm used to suffering," he told a number of national newspapers. "I could write a book about the summer. It was the most disturbed we have had since I have been here."The book would be quite an interesting read. Not because of me, but because of all that happened. It was unbelievable."
