The Walcott saga,

[Redflag]

is being used by Ivan, on part of his master Stan,to divert attention away from the lack of spending on new players that are obviously required. Walcott could sign a new contract and still be sold in the summer, it really is all much a contrived do about nothing.
The claims that Stan is not taking anything financially from AFC are ludicrous . He's sold four top players since becoming the major shareholder without replacing them.
The personal debt that he owes, regarding the money that he borrowed to buy Fiszman's shares with, is unlikely to be repaid out of his own pocket.
He's with to show a profit on that money and sooner or later he will do so. Probably starting with paying himself a dividend.

Even Monty has managed to play the ball there, and not the man.

The money was already there before the 3 new boys were signed. To start with Poldolski was signed BEFORE ,RVP was sold. And so was Giroud,and both said that they thought Persie was staying :-) Anyway,those two and Santi will not score the same amount of goals and make the number of assists between them that RVP did.

...so he will have to think of something else for the remainder of January, if indeed you are right. I'm no fan of Stan or Ivan, but I disagree with that analysis. The question remains about their ambition for the club, which is questionable at best.

The combined spend on Pod, Gir and Santi is more than that received for VP. What other money was available is irrelevant to the argument you made. If Giroud and Podolski thought VP was staying, they must be very dim.

I would acknowledge that we didn't replace Nasri (Chamberlain was the closest thing) but I don't understand how you can claim we didn't replace Van Persie when we bought two accomplished strikers in the same summer we sold RVP.

[Ashberto]

Can't we all just get along?

Hence my annoying posts on this thread.

We don't what Wenger told them the regarding the RVP sale. He was only sold prior to the season .

If you think we have replaced RVP with Poldolski and Giroud then you really are rather dim. Wenger would have done better signing a player like Ba,with established Prem experience,and one who can play 90minutes.

[Luis Anaconda]

Come back when you can have a grown up argument based on facts and you won't be treated as a moron

[Monty91]

They could, potentially, both push 20 goals each this season. Not too shabby, surely?

[Luis Anaconda]

:cry: So they won't get another 11 goals between them this season - how **** is that

[Redflag]

by paying huge wages and bonuses to c**ts like Ivan and co,this money would be better spent elsewhere. The dividends are on their way .

[Curly]

If Giroud,Poldi and Walcott each score 20+ (whic is probable/highly probable) it won't replace Robin's 37 goals

[Redflag]

[Redflag]

and we won't be in the CL or FAC long enough to worry about what they score in those comps.

Paying Ivan is not him taking money out of the club.

[Redflag]

[Luis Anaconda]

That is practically stealing money. Jesus wept

[Curly]

[Pokster]

[Monty91]

or has he not thought that far ahead?

[Nicosia Gooner]

So instead he simply states (with no evidence) that he WILL pay himself dividends at some completely unspecified time in the future - and then uses this completely made up piece of conjecture to slag him off.

It's textbook strawman tactics

[Camp Freddie]

[Hillary]

That this in incorrect has been pointed out to you. Whether you rate Podolski and Girou is entirely besides the point. Money HAS been spent to replace RvP.

[Luis Anaconda]

right out of our pockets. He also stole food out of a baby's mouth the other day - scum

[Redflag]

... most people thought that it was likely. Hindsight though is a wonderful thing :-)

[Hillary]

[Redflag]

. If everything goes wrong he can always sell his shares for a profit. So no big risks involved ,heads he wins,tails he wins. Not trophy wise though of course.

[Monty91]

Ahh well, at least it sounds like both Wenger and the board are on the same page in WANTING to remain in the Champions League. At least it means we're not being taken for a TOTAL ride.

This is the first time you mentioned that they would not score as many goals - no mention of league goals, liar

Try sticking to the question before you reply to it please.
I realize that things are not going well with us sliding toward mid-table and a dodgy future in the CL awaiting, but trying to rewrite history will not help matters.

[Redflag]

RVP as far as I can recall did not play in the League Cup last season. And our FAC campaign was a short one . Desperation stuff this from you and it's not doing your argument any favors either.
