Of course, but the point is, I think, that Wenger has stopped doing it (at least, enough of it to win us the league) and further has mischievously cited money as the reason. The players are overpriced. Or they don't exist. Or Chelsea have signed them all. Or FFP. Or whatever. It was most informative that, when questioned about this the other week, He cited Leicester City's examples (of shrood signings), rather than His own.Originally Posted by Ash
They have at least shown this is/or at least can be shown to be, *******s. We all knew this, of course, but everyone humoured Wenger while He was winning; it's just become more contentious now He's not.
After all, *He's* the one who's obsessed with top, top players, not the supporters. Fair enough, we all love Mesut and Alexis & Co. But the point is, we'd be equally happy with a bunch of no-hopers like Ranieri's squad too, happy in the firm belief that a genius like Wenger would be able to get them to the top of the league as well.

No, no, no.
Simply, we could have played better football with the players we had. However, rather than do this, we made the discussion all about players we *didn't* have.
That is the issue that Leicester City's success this year begins to prove, and Wenger and many supporters continue to try to skirt around, this season and for the decade past.
This is our greatest ever manager we are talking about, a genius.

Both apply, really. Either we have a decent striker instead of Gircott, and they bang in enough of the 157 chances that Mezut created, or the other players play to their level rather than below it and get the goals from midfield. The fact that AW has been unable to get the midfield purring doesn't alter the fact that despte this, a decent striker would probably have been enough.
I agree. In fact, I think our lack of a top, top striker, (even a rubbish one from Fleetwood Town, say) actually absolves both Wenger and the team from censure for any failure to win the league. Personally, I reckon the thing to be nigh on impossible.
But that's just my views on football in general and *not* necessarily related to *our* team, even if it does happen to provide a fairly accurate illustration of the point. I think we do remarkably well, despite not having one.
It's possible I've made this point before

Harry Kane is a good example. He was *our* player as late as 2001. Nothing to do with money at all.
