We can wait until the window closes, he may surprise us, but past behaviour suggests otherwise.
Wenger said at the end of the season that things had not worked out and that he would have to make changes. Gazidis said the same at the AST - that he and Wenger knew that they needed to change the approach, so past behaviour is not an issue unless you think Wenger is lying. Of course, if you DO think he is lying, why are you accepting it is a literal truth when he says '1 or 2'?

What I see all the time is posters accepting any number of rumours about us selling Cesc to Barca and Citeh for various sums, Nasri to Citeh, manu and others for a pittance and so on - that Wenger is wrong to let them go, etc. etc. but when Wenger says specifically that he does not want Cesc and Nasri to go and is working hard to make them say, these direct comments are ignored by the same posters.

Which way do people want it? Or do they just want to lay into Wenger no matter what he does?
