Whilst I appreciate you are being glib here, Pat, there is clearly an element of truth in your message.Originally Posted by Pat Vegas
No matter how much we spend nor who be buy this summer, when the first match starts and I see Aaron Ramsey in the team, no decent defensive midfielder and we look a shambles at the back, we'll all know how the season will end up.
At that point I expect I will start losing interest, again.
I mean it though.
We've been several squads since the invincible squad.
The same issues reoccur. It's not all down to 'not competing' with Chelsea, City etc. We should have easily won the league last year
and we should be doing a much better job this year and be in a title race. Of course people will always say what about Tottenham? Liverpool, United, City. Not doing great are they? That's not my concern.
We've made big signings now and spent a lot this past summer.
When the going gets tough he fall apart.
Oh, that's all undeniably true. I just thought your *billion* comment was slightly glib.
I could be convinced, though. If Wenger were to sell, as examples, Ramsey and Walcott this summer I might actually believe he understood what the problem was and that he was willing to address it.
He won't though. I think we all know that.
This is one of Wenger's weaknesses, He should be a bit more ruthless with experiments that do not work.
It's taken longer than 10 years and counting to see Walcott isn't going to be the superstar we all hoped.
Maybe I am being harsh on Wenger but he needs to be a bit more brave. And we have a lot of people on loans that we should just get rid of. Joel Campbell who I liked but if he doesn't see a place for him get rid.
None of it is really down to financially competing with other teams. At this moment in time (unfortunately, this has been the case for circa 8 years now), it is all down to what we do or do not do on a Saturday afternoon. Once we get that right, the rest might follow. It is as simple as that. Will Wenger change, can Wenger change or will it be the same old, same old?

Good post.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Nope.
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
This is a load of old *******s.

Walcott? to stay? Madness I tells yer.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
I think He might win the European Cup with it, but not the Premier League.

So the huge war-chest is basically the money we should be getting from selling our two star players and a few pennies extra.
