I think we are beign a bit harsh on our team. Ebven in the glory years AW tended to sign more Podolski type players than Hazard/Neymar type ones - After Bergkamp, we were never linked to the over-hyped so-called superstars. I don't think that much has changed in this regard.
I think we can all accept that AW probably over-reached himself with his youth project about 3 or so years ago, and that he paid too much for a batch of players who didn't work out and who are now dead wood. But he has also unearthed some very good players - and it would be interesting to see how many more illustrious signings have failed at our competitors' teams.
Clearly, the likes of Citeh and the Chavs will have a better success hit rate, because they are able to pay more for players in the first place - but even at those teams there have been some spectacular failures. To suggest that we should be in the running with them for the likes of Hazard is ridiculous, as clearly we can compete. And as some have said, I think we should avoid this type of hyped player like the plague. Remember that the season just past is the first time that we have not suffered the corrosive effect of players who think they are too good for arsenal, and it has showed.
I wonder whether the real issue is not the lack of ''ambition" that failure to sign the superstars represents, but rather the inherent conservatism/stubbornness that seems to prevent us from signing the 2 or 3 quality players needed to push on. I have a lot more sympathy with this argument. Its ridiculous that we gambled on RVP staying fit this season; that the manager continues to look on Diaby as a useful contributer to our team; that we have no first call back up for holding midfielder - all of which contributed to the points gap between us and the Mancs this season. Lets hope that wenger's learnt his lesson.
But even if he has, I think its pointless to wish for a £30M player signing for us this Summer, and would most probably be a mistake to do so.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
I would like a Falco, Aguero or Yaya Toure because they are exactly the type and quality of players we really need. Not because of there price tag.
And quite honestly, until the club charge reasonable ticket prices I'm not prepared to accept anything less
My predictions:
RVP leaves
Guroid comes in
Hulk goes to chavs
City have a quiet summer replacing one or two of their strikers
United rebuild their midfield
Liverpool end up with a pub teamer for manager.
We fail to shift most of the shit until the final day of the tranfser window doing another 1 step forward 2 steps back.
Will much rather have Giroud than Hulk, really don't see what is great about him.

I agree completely. I'd just hoped you would have seen the joke.
Win some, lose some. We beat them to Ramsey.
