You can't quote that and then ignore the point about him saying being in the competition isn't enough and that we are ambitious/want to strengthen.
Like i said, trophies will be a bonus. Nothing more. As long as we get CL qualification then he will always classify it a good season. Last season to anyone who isnt a half wit was a car crash of a season to go on the back of how we ended the 10/11 season yet he sees it as a great season.
Only reason we havent done well in the cups for the last 7 years is cos he has sacrificed them for getting a top 4 spot. If we tried winning a trophy, we might actually win one.
Yeah but you can look back at the last 7 years as evidence that he's doesn't put his money where his mouth is. I've lost count the number of times we've been clearly short going into the season and he's not done anything about it and that's ignoring the strengthening we needed in the January transfer window as well.
Actions speak louder than words, he talks a lot, a helluvah lot, doesn't ever deliver much, just empty promises
I agree, but I'm talking taking quotes out of context, using certain parts as evidence but blatantly ignoring things you don't agree with. It doesn't help your argument at all.
I see your points and agree, but it's hard to take Wenger words seriously on this subject because he never backs them up. If he said it and showed clear signs he was adressing the issues and really getting ready to challenge (let's be honest it would be obvious) but I haven't seen any signs so far.
Two signings, one German who is quality and on French guy who looks a good buy but is unproven, both will take time to settle. In return we're losing RVP our best player and a player who kept us from being middle table last season..........on the face of it we're not much stronger than last season if at all. Now sure there's still time, but it's beginning to look like all these players linked won't materialise (as is often the case) and we'll go in to the new season with very little change.
Been there, done that got the t-shirt (many times over) and we'll most likely seen another repeat of what we've seen for the past x years, a few decent games, a collapse and being knocked out of everything when it start to matter and 3rd/4th place a the end of the year
I don't know how anyway can seriously expect to win when they do so little to make it happen.
It's déjà vu. Something has to change. The board won't, Wenger won't...fans maybe need to wake up and take action. I have no confidence in this club what so ever!
To be honest, I have no idea how people can still believe this guy can deliver success, he's not been able to for a long time and shows no signs of adapting....what makes people believe in him so much?
I'd rather we tried our best and came 10th than didn't really try and got 3rd personally, sometimes you have to gamble, it's time we did on someone else who may be able to deliver where Wenger has failed.
I'd rather not come tenth because that would indicate that we are exceptionally shit, wasted the resources we do have and fuck knows how much moaning I'd have to read on here then.
