His comments about quality and so on are a cover to avoid answering questions which would force him to reveal the backroom issues. The idea some seem to have that he does not understand what is wrong with the team is ridiculous - he knows what we need, just that there is a reason he can't get what he wants. What the reason is can't be known for certain but I don't believe it is because he won't pay a specific price. That article today suggesting the board are balking at the wages that the top players command has such a ring of truth about it and matches their pitch on the Ashley Cole saga - seems to be the same issue again.
good post Coney and I do think that the whole situation is darker than just Wenger not realising or paying tofays going rate.
I refuse to believe that he is satified or even optimostic about the whole state of affairs but then O do wiestion he yeam choices Denilson, Diaby, Almunia et all
I mean if he had so little say then surely he has the right to take a stand, having the decency to not drag things out in public, I respect for biting your tongue must hurt, I am surprised he hasnt bit it clean off, then he eouldnt be able to speak at all. . . .which for some may be a blessing for both some fans and the board

Me I reckon the guy needs to grow a pair
