Song was considered a flop written off by many until he turned good. Koscielny has absolutely panned early last season. Sagna as well. Sometimes the faith pays off and we get a good player. You need to gave them playing time.

This season he brought in Arteta who has been good, Mertesacker who has been good, Chamberlain and Jenkinson who have also been promising. His youth policy, i.e having faith, has seen Coquelin and Frimpong show promise as well. If Wenger has listened to all the complainers we would have Schwarzer in goal instead of Szczesny. Another incidence were Arsenal fans were spitting blood at Wenger's faith but one that was a brilliant decision.

miracles? have you seen the wage bill, some of the salaries flops are on? thats nothing sort of stupidity. as for signings, he has funds.. the board are not eating away all of it.. Wengers just trying to be too smart and its going to backfire big time soon, he's already had warnings.
The wage bill is around the 4th/5th biggest in the league and that is where we typically end up. However it's done with minimum transfer fees. That is an achievement. We have some money but nothing like that of United, City and Chelsea, Arsenal made a small profit last year.

this comment isn't from one season Damien, its gone on for a while now.
It's not going to change. We can no longer compete for the title, not until FFP comes in at the very least. Get used to it.
