Is Diaby actually injured again? He could be the answer to our woeful lack of any strength in front

[Rich]

of the back four.

Bring a fit Diaby and weed out Monreal and replace with someone like Hummels or Rudiger in Jan and we should easily get into the top four imvho.

Then Arsene will chance it and go with the current squard. If we're still 6th he'll spend in order to clinch the 4th place trophy. Sound economics :bow:

[Rich]

so why bother spending to try and catch them. Let's get into the top four and then build for next season.

[Pokster]

what was the point in even trying

[Pokster]

had signed players in the positions that were plainly obvious we needed strengthening. If we had done that we would have stood more chance of winning the league

[Rich]

Arsene has already said that nobody can compete with them. What is the point investing monumental resources in January when the bloody thing will be as good as over by then?

If you think that we can win the league this season then you are delusional, I'm afraid.

[Rich]

do that, we don't know if Kroenke vetoed any further transfer moves, we don't know if players wanted to join us, we don't know if we had bids accepted but refused to pay the wages because they didn't represent value.

We have got to where we are by acting responsibly. Do you really think the board and manager would go against those principles. The fact of the matter is that they know a lot more than either of us but are ambitious and would have done the best they can for us. They are extremely intelligent people and I should imagine would be offended that someone with no experience in running a professional club on an online message board thinks that they know better.

[Pokster]

and playing ****e football

[Pokster]

we would have been in a much better position to try to win the league

[Rich]

We had to wait until the new year for most of our games against them last season.

[Pokster]

do), our reports ands accounts show we have money.

It was obvious last season we were short of defenders and yet he did nothing to change that, and in fact left us short of numbers with far less experinced players. The fact he has admitted we will look for defenders in Jan shows he knows we are short of players (and that he obviously lost the gamble).

So stop spouting crap that they will be offended, I haven't seen anyone who knows far more than you or me saying he hasn't messed up

[Pokster]

[Pokster]

so do please stop talking ****e
