The last one is it will put pressure on Stan but what pressure? They're his shares and he can sell when he wants. You can't force him to sell.
The 30% is just inside baseball, an obsession for people who need things to talk about.

forgot to mention Usmanov could actually do more to stir things up. his open letter was on point, the second release was though not needed at the time. apart from the second slip up he hasnt really done much to disrupt. Arsenal officials have done that all themselves.

i dont mean to sound like Wenger but it is about the quality not slower league etc.

If there is a great player out there in Ligue 1 then that's fine but it's a risker market as you'll be unsure of how they'll adapt. You either take a risk or buy expensive players. There are good players who don't cost a lot but they're much harder to find. After all if they were a sure thing then people would be willing to pay a lot more. Also I agree it's about picking the right quality - I don't think anyone disagrees with that. However players don't come with 'right quality' stamped on their foreheads. You have to find them. That's the hard part.

everythings a risk. again its about buying the right quality. there is quality in Ligue1. There is quality in other leagues. Its about buying that quality instead of flops. other clubs are buying the quality, why is Wenger opting for flops instead? there on pretty big wages too if you compare what other clubs have signed on what wages those players are on.
fans power. this decline.
