    Just stating the obvious, he's had it easy at Arsenal and never wanted to leave the comfort blanket of this club for a higher risk option, he's not a risk taker, was getting great money, could do as he pleased and didn't have to deliver trophies, why would he move?

    He's shown that success isn't a criteria high up on his list of priorities.

    No, you're just making up stuff about someone you don't know based on your little vendetta. Tiresome.

    Seems to me I'm not otherwise he would have moved and in the last 12 years tried harder to succeed.

    That's why when he uses that a sign of love for Arsenal you can't take it seriously, he's clearly risk averse, as highlighted by his transfer dealings where he prefer cheap buys that won't be a big deal if they don't work out.
    Spot on.

    Our problems are more deep rooted than players or the ability to attract them.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Even with CL football we rarely competed at the top table when it came to signing players. Until someone high up at the club raises the standards, we will continue to operate as we always have done.

    Yep, nail on head.

    Even when our profile was at it's highest post invincibles we still operated like the underdog in the market.

    It will take a change of ownership and manager in addition to winning the bigger prizes for us to begin to raise our profile and attract the elite players.

    I'll be honest I don't fully understand why we moved stadium to operate in the way we do....
