    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    To be fair, we have added 9 players to the first team squad in the last year (Alexis, Debuchy, Ospina, Chambers, Welbeck, Gabriel, Bellerin, Coquelin, Cech), so I do think there's any particular reluctance to invest or improve on the part of the manager or the club? There's just nothing moving out there in the one area that we're seriously looking at.

    Maybe you could argue that we're paying the price for not having sorted the striking problem out in previous windows, when there might have been movement, but I'm not really sure what else we could have done this summer, to make things happen? The kind of clubs we're looking at buying from aren't really going to be swayed by cash, or bullied financially - the only thing that's going to persuade them to sell is being able to find a shiny new star player as a replacement, and that's out of our hands. It really is just watch and wait stuff...

    Well I agree it would be hard for you or I or some bloke down the road to pull off the type of transfers we need. But we supposedly are a club competing at the forefront of the game, with a supposedly top manager who in turn has a whole staff of experienced people to solve our striker and midfield problem over a period of what was 2 months. Is it good enough to say it's difficult? Of course it is, their job is difficult. Are they saying they can't get the job done unless it is easy?

    You're right, we have brought in a lot of players. Most of them have been required following a long period of doing nothing significant in the market, in fact we were a selling club. But even with all the repair work that has been done we are still short in critical areas. This needs to be addressed or we can't challenge. Fair enough, if we don't intend to step up and join the top clubs (as promised when the stadium move was sold), then that's how it's going to be but we can't expect to hang on to the top players we have if we aren't prepared to add the final pieces. That's what I'm saying, we either press on and fulfil the stated goal of this stadium move or we stall and start falling backwards. With all the new TV money coming in Wenger won't be able to hold that cherished 4th spot forever, standing still isn't a realistic option.

    Whatever, they have 4 days to let us know their intentions. It is the club that has left itself with such a short window, so while it may be difficult they certainly haven't made it easier on themselves. If easy is what they are after.

    Wenget really is contemptuous with the fans sometimes, and quite simply insults our intelligence or lack thereof.
