Wenger seems to live in some future fantasy, I doubt he'll sign a practical player who could stop the blood loss because he doesn't see how that player will fit into his dream further down the line. It will kill one of his precious failures if we sign a crude Parker. If this latest result came on the back of just last season's fiasco you could say it was a downturn that could be corrected. But we've been going downhill for years and Wenger has always failed to act. Persisting with Denilson when Alsono was available. Buying Velas when Bellamy or Defoe could have been drafted in for instant results. We're not just a flawed team, we are snobbish about it. From the boardroom down to the pitch it seems we only want a certain type here. The fact these types consistently fail to be good enough is water off a duck's back. The spuds are chasing all the players that could do job for us and if they get them they'll finish above us in the table. But at least we'll be building this amazing vision for the future, as our depleted squad gets whipped 8-2.
