i think a title charge is more than capable if resources are spent properly, the squad players are kept on their toes and formations suit.

i honestly cant believe youve been sucked into the crap.
Sucked into what crap? I don't think it's realistic to compete with clubs that have considerably more money than us. This isn't a novel realisation, it's evident when you look at the league table for the last 10 years. City and Chelsea did not, did not, get where they are because they were clever with purchases and formations. They spent a massive amount of money.

By all means we should try but we shouldn't expect to do it. It's a very hard thing to do. If it wasn't then we would see more clubs doing it. You can kind of do it to an extent, especially lower down the league, but at the top of the league it becomes harder.

Wenger doesnt want to buy crap? its his choice to buy and persist with crap.
Of couse it isn't. He wants to buy good players, sometimes he gets it wrong. That happens in football when you're buying untested players. I am aware every fan seems to know better than Wenger when it come to what players to buy, what tactics to use and so on. However we have to be aware it's much harder when you're the guy that has to make those decisions and you don't have the benefit of hindsight. I am sure Wenger wishes he done some of these things too but he doesn't want to buy crap and he isn't a fool.

I am tired of this same discussion each time now anyway. We're going around in circles like we do every time.

We're either forth or fifth, it depends on what Liverpool currently have as it's usually between us and them for that last spot there.

we're only behind Utd, Chelsea and City because our resources spent is not being maximized. we could be a lot closer outperforming and running a business so its peaking. true role model self subtainzzz.
We're really not. All of them produce substantially bigger incomes from their owners or business. We should manage the resources better of course but money talks.
