There are some things which he shouldn't be defended from. He didn't sign a striker this summer. It seems like he tried, but he failed. If that costs us then he should be criticised. I do think he was right not to sign another 'Welbeck', either get someone who can properly push us on or don't bother. I agree with that. But we needed someone to push us on.

But "he doesn't like to spend money", "he doesn't want to win", "he's happy with top 4 and doesn't want to do better".

Please. Spare me that balls.
A handful of journos come out for Wenger over the weekend with their 'no to average players' and 'Wenger did the best in the transfer window' guff. By Monday the sheeple are regurgitating. It may be true that Wenger couldn't find anyone - actually it's not true at all but let's pretend. So let's take the wise journo fashion statements and ask a simple question.

Why did we sign the first 'average Welbeck'?

Why did we sign Giroud?

Flamini?

Sanogo?

Park?

The guy with broken back?

And the rest.

So let's not sack him for this window - let's sack him for all the other ones.
