Usual "warchest" shenanigans

[IUFG]

I doubt Arsene would ever listen to advice from a softly spoken midget like Overmars.

We need a Roy Keane type who'd slap him silly

double team him with Graeme Souness.

[SWv2]

I would admit that, but this season aside, it's consistently placed as about our far bigger spending rivals.

Perhaps if they bring in Overmars as Director of Football he can have some influence over Wenger.

Who we talking about here Richard?

We have consistently placed above one or more of City/Chelsea/United/Liverpool.

Those who support Wenger staying are just happy with further commitment to the status quo. The idea that he will suddenly change and give up on the players that have been letting him down for years and shell out a wedge on new players is absurd.

A new contract for Wenger means more of Ramsey in the middle, Theo out wide, Ox wherever and the same defensive and mental shortcomings we've been watching for almost 10 years.

Surely even the most pro-Wenger crowd would admit that?

This is the point. It seems to suggest that spending and quality of player is the real problem. A few years ago most of us would have agreed but he has spent plenty in recent years, brought in at least three world class players, paid north of 30 million each for a couple of others and we have got worse.

It is impossible to ignore that management is at least part of the problem. Everything we know of Wenger tells us that these key aspects will not change as long as he is here.

As for the alternatives, I can cope with pretty much any horrible situation next season if it involves never having to watch Ramsey in a Wenger midfield again.

I've always said good things about you, Peter. Even during that rather embarrassing Almunia phase you went through.

It is hilarious that not one of you is prepared to admit just how right I was about that, even now. And how right I am always am on goalkeepers...always.

Either way, Ramsey is a useless ****, on that I would like to think we are all now agreed, surely?

Also Wilshere..... he can **** right off.

Out of the £200m can we just give £100m to him to leave and blow the other £100m on 1 superstar

[Pat Vegas]

Arsenal are now briefing media that Wenger will stay and will be given £200 million to spend on five players. This will be £100 million plus same amount from sale of various players.

But the players who would leave are then listed, and in my view their joint valuation is not very far off from £200 million. So we would lose 7 or 8 players, replace them with 5 and have had a net spend of nil.

But Mo these 'warchest' stories always come from the Daily Mirror and are always a load of old *******s.

If all the years we had a Warchest was added together. and our recent purchases deducted I'd say we'd probably have a billion pounds to spend according to gossip.
