Sure it may take a bit to achieve top four year in and year out, but SAF seems to do it with trophies to boot and we seem to do increasingly by the skin of our teeth. . , for me that is a sign that should be observed.
We may very well do it again this year and get third while we are at it. . .but is that Wengers doing. . .I hazard an answer and say of course in part but less in part than other years. I dont feel Wenger has the team where he wants them, more the team are stepping up, RvP has a fire that is roaring and the others around him are responding, maybe in an attempt to prove that they are the team he should consider sticking around with.
RvP too no doubt is thinking next year, and that more than every we need to build the squad, no doubt pleased with talk ofcearly arrivals, the fans do will be expecting that. There can be no excuse not to buy this summer, Jack coming back yes but plenty to replace. We cannot go into the new season with one striker and if we do, the signs of dissent were there, FY may get his wish of burning effergies and the like.
Am I saying does Wenger deserve another chance? Yes and no because he has done a lot for the club but those laurels have been rested on for too long now and what he seems to be doing now is more harm than good. If there is a chance he can change his stubborn ways then I will pass him the dice, buy now, buy quality and get rid of the dross, if he cant and doesnt see some of his ways are dated and have been sussed then it is time to move on.
