The only way to stop that is to make sure wage caps are introduced and financial fair play is introduced. Outside of that there is not much Wenger or the board can do unless they follow suit...as much as we'd love that I'd rather not become another City/Chelsea and struggle when these rules come in.
The rules aren't going to make a blind bit of difference, as City have already demonstrated. What we really need is for much, much tighter control of agents. It's in the interests of these cunts to run around destabilising players and teams and fragmenting the game. That's hoe the slime skim their money.

Fabregas is better than anyone City have now or will ever have. We built him here. RvP could well be the best striker in Europe right now. Built at Arsenal. We've never needed City's billions, all we ever needed was a few million invested in experience at key moments. But those uber-cunts on the board wouldn't do it and they still won't. They are the problem. For all City's cash, with a couple of choice signings they'd still be on our coattails. Admittedly they have now spent such a stupidly huge amount getting 2-3 world class players per position they will be hard to beat simply because they won't suffer as much from injuries and suspensions. So yeah, the big money tells in the end but it was our refusal to spend a little rather than their determination to spend a lot that has made the difference over the last few seasons.

So there is something the board can do to correct this. They can kill themselves.
