in 2008 we was short of a player or two. instead of buying which we could of done, Wenger banged out mega contracts to upcomers which couldnt produce at the time or at all. just because clubs are throwing money around doesnt mean its the end of the world. we have the best league in the world. Arsenal is highly attractive, well was. Wenger insisted on not signing. his choice.

im well aware you attend games and are highly intelligent. i dont represent the fanbase. theres people who support blindly. i didnt say this season. it did happen though.

His dealings in the transfer window were as hit and miss as Wenger's has been. The best players in his team were there when he arrived.

Wenger has different methods to Pep. Methods of not taking crap is a big one having seen atleast half our squad fall off doing nothing but toy around getting paid huge amounts.

not entirely true. if we can grab 3rd like we did last season with half a squad dont you think having the other half of the squad raring to go would put us in the title race? remember the players that offered little to nothing are not on low wages.

would we be given a chance. jeez our own scouts were said to have reports after reports on players who Wenger didnt bother signing and instead persisted with his ways. not all players are good enough i know but its fact Wengers persisted with way too much crap where we could have signed players to offer something to the cause.
