No. I don't blindly support Wenger. That is a aspersion you have made that is unfair and unwarranted. I have criticised the handling of the last transfer window both in my last post and previously on this forum. However I think his record of 15 consecutive Champions League finishes is impressive, only United and Real Madrid have done the same, and he has done it with fewer resources than those clubs - even if you take into account the money that is there that he has yet to spend. It's even more impressive when you consider that money has only recently come available so from 2002 to, say, 2010 he did so without that £50 million being there.
The current squad isn't great. This is largely a result of Fabregas and Nasri leaving in the same summer and Wilshere being out. This year we went into the season with three of our best players from last year gone. We should use this window to improve.
All I do is blindly support Wenger? I'm sorry but you need to back up your arguments rather than question my motivations.

you think just because City and Chelsea offer huge figures we're somehow brushed aside. theres loads of players out there. we have a network that has many names down as possible incomers. what you say is we can't do anything, you make it sounds as if its impossible. theres ways around not spending big. its been Wenger whos mismanaged.

No. I am saying we adjust our expectations. Wenger shouldn't be judged on his ability to win the Premier League because of the resources he is up against. There are ways around that but the richest team won the title this year and Chelsea dominated when they had massive investment in the first team.
