Not framed but I didn't think anyone would be of that opinion.
In the other poll there was no point in putting a 'both' option because there is no reason not to pick that, in this case I didn't put 'neither' for the opposite reason.

In brief: Ahhhh, shadduppaya face :tiphat:

Wenger has so much power over so many aspects of this club that the fall put from his departure concerns me.

I'm not sure about that to be honest, i bet you find if Wenger goes that they probably will have measures in place to quickly bring in a replacement.
We can accuse the club of moving slowly in the transfer window, but i think that's more likely the manager prevaricating than anything else.

Maybe I didn't explain myself properly but when I mean spend, I am being quite broad. I mean, buying the sufficient quality in the areas of weakness in the squad, adding quality backup, that kind of thing really.

Wenger still comes across as too much of a opportunist to me. Take the summer for example, he was after a quality defensive minded midfielder, put in bids for Bender and Gustavo yet we end up with Flamini. I don't mind Flamini, I think he has done OK...but Wenger compromised cost over quality there. He does that a lot IMHO.

interesting that we are being linked with Luis Gustavo again.

I don't think you can link flamini in with luis gustavo, flamini only came in because arteta was injured otherwise we would have signed no-one and that's even more scary.
