Everton are better than us because they have been better in the transfer market than Wenger (again because everyone sees things in a dualistic perspective they can't see the argument that the money isn't there and that Wenger has blundered with what little he has had avaliable to him) . But even with Everton it's ephemeral because their two best players are on loan. It's up to you what you feel able to accept or not accept, doubtless this season hasn't been good enough I'm simply making the point that the money isn't there to consistently challenge and I'm not convinced we would have done miles better with someone else the last few years, maybe the odd FA cup but when we cànt spend the same amount as spurs or Liverpool let alone Chelsea or City it's rather futile.
