When you consider who will be involved in contract negotiations and also has control of the chequebook in the transfer windows, maybe panic is the most suitable response.Originally Posted by I am invisible
Sigh. We've said it so many times but this summer we need to see proper, top tier reinforcements arrive or we can forget about existing top tier players hanging around. Plenty of clubs out there that can genuinely compete and will pay a lot more. For the modern player football is a job, there's no loyalty or cultural association. Pep will have unlimited funds in the summer, so will cunt bag over at Utd. You have to assume the chavs will be kicking in a pile of cash too. Love it or loathe it these are the big clubs in action. So are we part of that group or a tier below? It might upset the delicate sensibilities of the misers in our boardroom, it may well be vulgarity that causes manager to wretch, but we're either in this to win it or we chuck the towel in and assume our place with the also-rans. I guess if the latter occurs (99.99% chance) at least we have a nice stadium and a strong share price.
The alternative, of course, would be to get a proper manager in. We've seen how a proper manager can close that gap without having to spend a fortune. Unfortunately the guy we have has demonstrated time after time he doesn't have the know-how so if he's staying it will have to be the money route.
£100mill in the summer window and Simeone or the like brought in and we are looking at a whole new Arsenal with a whole bunch of possibilities. Minimum spend and the stubborn old bloke signed up until 2019 and we're fucked. I really don't know how there's anybody left who can't see that.
