Especially seeing as I don't have £50mill.

I would have loved us to have signed a Cavani or Benezema, but by all accounts we tried and actually offered serious money (well at least we did for Benezema), yet madrid didn't want to sell. Not much you can do about that but there is no doubting Wenger tried. Some strikers who moved this window, are not better then giroud, so there is no point wasting money just to have a signing.

Wenger has decided to place his faith again in his squad, but this time, it is a squad that has won 4 trophies in two seasons, that has produced some big performances unlike previous ones and actually looked like challenging. Its much easier to believe in a squad that has a world class player in every area (Cech, Koscienly, Ozil, Sanchez) with some fantastic players to compliment them (Ramsey,, Ox, Theo, Cazorla). I think this squad can challenge, possibly even win, we had an exceptional second half of the season last year, one which was helped massively by managing to keep players fit, which we couldn't in the first half. If that stays the same, and midfielders score more (which was a problem last year) then I think we really will challenge. This is a good squad, one which would have been helped by a world class striker, but that sadly couldn't happen, but not because of lack of trying.

However, this really is last chance saloon. Wenger has assembled a very good squad in my opinion, but they and he have to deliver this year.

Where do you start with a post like this? There's a host of better players we could have signed had we bothered to try.

As for Benzema, Cavani, if and it's a big if, we tried to sign them we should have maybe been more realistic, Real had barely a striker up front so why would they sell? Again PSG are loaded so why approach them in the last day or two when they can't replace him, they don't need to sell, it's a joke that we think we can go after players like this and allegedly chase them for months thinking that it's going to happen.

He's put his faith in the squad alright, they won't deliver though, the FA Cup is about their limit, leave the major trophies to the big boys who know what they're doing, just like last season, we'll just make up the numbers in the CL and do our usual collapse if we come within a sniff of 1st place, that's what we're good at, our limit is a CL spot we know this.

This squad is vastly overrated, yes we won an FA Cup or two, however in the past when clubs have won it, it's been laughed at as not that important so I don't see how it's suddenly a major trophy now we've won it, nice to win without a doubt but it's a secondary trophy behind the big prizes we never challenge for.

Sorry there's no excuses for the guy now, nowhere to hide, he's had all summer to find someone decent, every other club has managed to get players, if he can't do it he's not up to the job, you can't make excuses for him, not when he should have had his targets in mind (a list of them) and should have gone for them early on to get them signed or not signed allowing him to move on.

Sick of his BS, lies and nonsense, he needs to move on to a small club where his lack of ambition and unwillingness to spend fits in with the budget, not manage a club suppose to be one of the biggest in the world.

Can't find quality goal scoring CF? Then get a goal scoring wide forward, there are quite a few good ones in the market ex Grizmann, Reus etc. Feo and Ox are not consistent enough, to play week in and week out. :coffee:

Glad that Wenger didnt spend much this window. He wouldnt have achieved much anyway. His tactics are as bad as it gets and he cant motivate the team unless 4th place is in jeopardy. Thanks for leaving the cash for a real football manager in 2017.

Now please fuck off Arsene.. ktnxbye! :wave:

More importantly what would you do with him if you did have 50 million?.

Get him to mow the lawn on a Sunday, get him to pick the kids from school or engage in sexual congress with the wife if the previous nights drunken escapades have taken a detrimental effect on the libido?.

I like the fact you constantly belittle the manager for having no ambition, only settling for second best etc etc, and then call it a joke when he tries to sign world class strikers. I mean there is shifting the goalposts, and then theres that.

He's a joke end of.

Allegedly tried to sign, there's no proof, just press nonsense, even if he did, he went for players who really weren't realistic because he's as cheap as they come and those players were never going to be sold by these rich clubs for peanuts, even if they were available (Benzema clearly wasn't)

Walk away Ollie, walk away.

I'd stick him on the porch bench and get Ramsey to mow the lawn.
