i think the message might just be in your signaturesure, if that's what you call stating facts and repeating them to those who keep ignoring them.
but i could be wrong
I've got signatures blocked anyway
what, so efficient means spending 30million on stop gaps for seriously deficient areas of the squad on 5 nobodies and paying them handsomely to deliver nothing?
over the last 5 seasons you are saying we couldn't have spent at least 25mil on a top striker or defender? And if we did that wouldn't be efficient?
‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
And the reason a growing number of folks don't want AW involved in the negotiations is because his record in the market over the past few seasons has been pretty shoddy.
In fact it's been reported we've missed out on a few let's say "higher profile" targets because of AW's absolute belief that a player is overpriced by a few million or whatever the price is.
Well yeah. By definition paying over the top for anything is a waste.
Not a total waste, but the more over the top, the more the waste.
I can't speak for TG but I'd be surprised in the sense of: "HOLY FUCK THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, DUDE!"
And surprised that he'd be willing to go anywhere else.
Let's be realistic: If Wenger were disentangled from the financial analysis of the cost/benefit of a particular player, he would become no better than us fans, who put forward the names of players we would love to see playing for Arsenal but who have absolutely no idea of the total cost (transfer fee, wages, legals fees, etc.) of said players, and how they will fit into the overall financial strategic plan of the club.
While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.
Not quite. He said that the valuation of players and what they were worth to us as well as other clubs required input from the manager and for a club to do that without involving the manager would not make sense, which is why we worked that way.
so you are saying some real block-heads do not see that then? And they keep repeating what they want to believe?
Oh, I forgot -- it's goonersweb.

Man United already have the quality in there squad, look at their trophy cabinet. They by in large don't need Hollywood buys because they already have top quality players in there squad.
We have much more of a pressing need to spend on Qulaity than them, that much is obvious.
