    Got to love the way he's used the kill the youngsters line and now half of them want out making him look like a lemon.

    He'll no doubt repeat the same with the next bunch of wannabe's.

    Once again -- WE DO NOT NEED THOSE KIND OF SUMS TO GET DECENT PLAYERS IN!!!

    We NEED a FUC*KING manager with a FUCKING CLUE.

    We DON'T NEED a SUGAR DADDY TO FUCKING TAKE SET-PIECES SERIOUSLY OR COCK-UP AGAINST BIRMING-FUCK*ING-HAM in a mickey-mouse cup final.

    LoL

    On one hand, decent players are cheap, freely available but invisible to all the other clubs and if we had a decent manager we'd be signing them.

    On the other hand, we'll never sign top class signings our rivals do always shopping bargain basement because wenger doesn't know there's loads of imaginary money to spend.

    And then there's my corner. Watching as were no longer able to attract, afford or hold on to stars, where money has just proven, can buy you success regardless of the quality of your manager. With a sustainable policy that isn't all that sustainable (asking fans to foot the bill for changes in the financial environment) surrounded by fans unable to take a balanced view and seeking a quick fix (new manager).

    The fundamental truth is, and I think you all know this, without city's and chelseas billions, we'd have won plenty over the last few years. It's insane to believe that wengers inability to compete in any meaningful way was within his control. Yes, he has his faults, tactical, idealism but honestly? Who doesn't?

    Bullshit.

    We don't sign those players because Wenger CHOOSES NOT TO!

    ‘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.’

    again, BULLSHIT!

    The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there.

    AW on the other hand thinks signing suchplayers will 'kill' his youngsters!

    No we won't have. We can't fucking beat birmingham in a carling cup final!

    What did chelsea win this season with all their billions?


    Oh, and what are the budgets for newcastle,fulham,stoke etc all of whom we gave up cheap points to last season.

    Who is the manager who has been handing out fat contracts to uproven and untested youngsters. Who is the manager prepared to pay 12mil for 18yr olds but then baulk at giving more than one year contracts to experienced pros who have served the club loyally for years?

    Samba came from the French league right? How much did Blackburn sign him for? Was he that good on the French league or was it good English coaching that turned him into the player we're now interested in?

    There are players out there that we could have possibly made good use of but they've gone to the lower league clubs. We don't use our scouts as much as we used to because we're heavily invested in this youth set up.

    Going round in circles. Plain to see your one of the gullible folk who believe were a top club financially. I think/hope your in the minority.

    And when we do for players like koscienly we get ridiculed.

    Sorry. Samba came from the German league and cost Blackburn just under half a million. You don't need to be rolling in it to make those sort of signings.

    PnG, the main reason were interested in him is because he has PL experience, yet strangely your critising him for not only doing exactly what he's being doing for the last few years (and let's not predent samba was or even is world class), but now that he's looking to get players with epl experience it's something to bash him over the head with.

    Mental.
