For the past 8 or so years, I alway thought wenger had a plan to make us the best

[o2be a gooner]

Team, will the development of the young players like cesc, nasri etc.

Does he have a plan now? Does he even have the ambition to make us the best? Or is he happy with 4th?

[Classic Jorge]

He worked miracles to get us to finish third last season, I dont understand all the ire being heaped on him.

toad who doesn't like "soccer" taking advantage of the fan-base and the new stadium to get credit for something he never did and pretend we are moving forward according to some esoteric plan which he never devised and does not exist. Wenger is the patsy whose dream has been shattered and maintains the club's respectability through his wisdom and efforts.

What you want is a load of big name players to be thrown in and instantly start playing well together, unfortunately we're not playing FIFA so it won't happen. Look at Chelsea all of a sudden, not exactly 'flowing' as they were early on. Unsurprisingly Utd who have largely the same core of players over the last few seasons are on top.

What makes u think kronke is so much better?

paid Lord Toffler enough to change his tune.

Yes it clearly played a part as City won the league, on goal difference. Hardly complete dominance was it. I don't really understand what your point is in regards to getting Usmanov so that he 'brings in more money'. That won't change the mentality or fluidity of our team.

plans have been disrupted every summer for the past six years or so by unwanted departures often at the last minute. That is why we haven't won a trophy. The stability you say has been denied us through lack of investment and a shoddy wages policy.

why it's stuff like that which has got the world into the mess it's in today

no one thinks of where Abramovich and the Abu Dhabi boys got their cash when their teams win trophies. You want high morals? Go support the Amnesty International XI

[Jake]

I think you're confusing discontent with financial desire. Money played a part in those players leaving, but aside from Cole it was largely because they didn't want to play at our club anymore because they didn't feel the club was making progress.

paid more than others thats f**ked us. Socialism doesn't work in running a football team.

the Speed case, so i won't hold my breath.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

trophies because we were losing our best players because they were being paid more elsewhere, It's a chain.

[Classic Jorge]

You really are spouting some advanced level pathetic windup bull**** now, bunnel

[Mo Britain less Europe]

but believe me thats not what people want to watch on a football pitch. Almunia was not worth the same salary as Van Persie, yet he was almost on a par. Result? Didn't offer Van Persie a better deal when he might have taken it and so he went.

of course there's something that the family want to keep private, but the way it was portrayed originally was really shocking, appearing as if it was something totally out of the blue.

Fcuked if I'm going to Uzbekistan or anywhere in that region, dangerous place!

...and learn how they
- never win trophies,
- trade away franchise players
- keep payroll low,

and basically how Kroenke uses them for as vehicle to acquire tv rights.

[Ray Parlour Fire Extinguisher]

When you don't have any aspirations other than finishing 4th that also makes players want to leave.

[Ray Parlour Fire Extinguisher]

Because the only reason the Eton boy doesn't accept Usmanov is because of his petty squabble with DD.... and he'll get arsed the moment Usmanov takes over, DD will become chairman and the club will start winning trophies again.
