Frank McLintock is a moaning old girl. I remember watching him when he was on Soccer Saturday and he was moaning back then about Petit and Vieira. PETIT & VIEIRA!!
The bottom line is we've lost two world class players in RVP and Cesc and a very good player in Nasri. The rest of them were not good enough to win things IMO.
No way we'd be better off staying at Highbury we'd be spending even less then we fo now on transfers. The move was not the problem the planning was.Quote:

TBF to him he just wants to see Arsenal win a trophy and more importantly win the league and feels hurt by the way things are going. He is diffrent to the younger legends like Parlour/Winterburn who seem more calmer.Quote:

Stewart Robson believes Arsenal should cash in on Theo Walcott as he’s simply too inconsistent.
The England international looks set for a surprise move away from the Emirates after talks over a new deal at the club became deadlocked.
And ex-Gunners star Robson claims Arsene Wenger should get rid of the former Southampton man.
He told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: “If you’re spending £75,000 a week on a player then you need him to be consistent, he needs to be one of your main players. I’m not sure Theo Walcott is that player.
“He’s been too inconsistent during his time at Arsenal. Is he getting better? Is he going to be a top class player? I’m not so sure.
“He’s at his best when the game is stretched and he can come on as an impact player, but you can’t pay an impact player £75,000 a week."
Manchester City and Liverpool have been linked with the 23-year-old and Robson believes the Gunners can cope should Walcott leave the club before the end of the transfer window.
“Arsenal could get a bit of money for him now,” he added. “I don’t think Walcott will be missed if he leaves.
“If I was the manager or on the board, I’d be looking to sell him anyway because I don’t think he’s improved during the time he’s been at Arsenal."

Former Arsenal midfielder Robert Pires is confident that all of the club's new signings will prove to be successful, and feels that Olivier Giroud can fill the void left by Robin van Persie.
With the Dutch striker now at Manchester United, the pressure is on attacking summer recruits Giroud, Lukas Podolski and midfielder Santi Cazorla to bring goals to the side.
The Gunners have so far drawn both of their opening two Premier League fixtures 0-0 against Sunderland and Stoke, but Pires is confident that with time and patience, Arsene Wenger's new additions will come good.
"It takes time to adapt, and it is especially hard for attacking players, but I am optimistic that both Giroud and Podolski can be a success," he told the Sunday Mirror.
"I have seen Giroud playing in France and he has the qualities you need in England. He is strong and he has a good touch. He can be like Van Persie in my opinion.
"Podolski is very mobile around the pitch and he is a Germany international with many caps. They will adapt. Santi Cazorla is someone I know well. He has adjusted to England very quickly and the fans will love him."
Arsenal have once again lost some of their biggest stars with both Van Persie and Alex Song moving on, but Pires believes that the past few seasons have shown that they know how to adapt to losing key players.
He added: "This is a difficult time for Arsene Wenger. He has lost important players in the last year like Gael Clichy, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie and Song.
"But he has lost players in the past and replaced them and I am sure he will do it again."
Pires missing the point
I completely agree with Robson. I've said it for ages, Theo isn't good enough at this level and we should have cut our losses on him years ago. He's deluded if he thinks he deserves £75k a week. Good luck to the mugs that are willing to pay him that.
