Should Wenger go?

[Dennis Bendtner]

The difference between 4th and 12th is Robin Van Persie. I fully accept that we don't spend much relative to our sales. But quantity-wise, we have spent. And the Park, Diaby, Gibbs, Chamakh, Arshavin and quite a few others that never play are not sitting on their arses for free. This has been a severe mismanagement of funds and we're about to hand Djourou a new contract. It's ridiculous. If a new manager with some common sense can look at that from a fresh perspective - from the same perspective that Petit has - and also looks to sort out the injury problems we've been having (the no.1 problem at the club) then great. We've fucked Wilshere up (Arsene has admitted the setback was avoidable) and we've definitely fucked Rosicky over - which is why we'll keep handing him contracts out of guilt. The whole thing's a mess and needs new leadership...even if he can't spend much money.

It's a fair post and I can't refute much of the detail. I've felt throughout though that all managers make mistakes, and I'm quite sure a lot of them have made similar ones to Wenger. The difference being that they have the comfort blankets of expensive, good players to help mask them. Added to the security a lot of clubs have that their best talent won't be sold every summer. Do we?

I don't know how good this Hazard is. Hypothetically, with all other circumstances remaining the same, if we'd got him for £25m in the summer. If he's as good as the hype (and Wenger) suggests, would it not have improved our position? Just by virtue of having one better player in attack.

I don't disagree that Wenger's made errors. But my point was there is a lack of recognition of extremes. We are 20th (out of 20 current PL teams) in terms of net spend since 2006. How ridiculous is that?
