you do not have to spends billions to compete. in our case its spending within means and also getting the most from spend. we have a huge wage bill. last season we finished 19pts behind Utd and City. Utds wage bill is 12% higher than ours i think? we finished 19pts behind utilising half a squad? not only that but we finished 19pts behind having a manager hell bent over his formation and some average players. what if Wenger was able to get the most out of the full squad or close to it, theres always a couple that dont pan out but half a squad not performing? ontop of that a formation that was too strong for our performers as we were and still are picked off.

its not in hindsight. previous seasons we needed a player or 2 extra. it wasnt done. we were crying out for it. may be not you but a vast amount of fans were. Wenger persisted. hes got himself in this because hes clearly in two places. at board level and pitched side. Wenger can be pitch side as well as aiding the boardroom and our forward motto but he cannot do it properly until he changes which he isnt going to do. i wish he would. Wenger himself is worth 100mil each window. if only he changed and dominated which he and we could.

we are not meeting expectations. minimum requirement which is qaulifying for the CL isnt expectations being met. a title charge is. getting the most out of the squad is. going to our rivals places and giving a good account of ourselves is. not being picked off like schoolboys is. not having blind faith in average crap. not buying average crap where theres other options. not buying to aid a flawed formation which in fact is played with average players that get caught out then the rest of the squad have to bear the chaos. not having stars leave because their fed up. etc. etc.

Wengers performing against his own crap. hes getting into the CL using half a squad and that star or two surrounded by average. he is not performing above expectations or above resources available.
