And if that's what you want, then the next Football Manager or FIFA games would be recommended.
I bet it would be hard to find any established poster on here that has advocated massive expenditure in an attempt to buy the league. You'll find a lot of posters who are sick to death of Wenger's penny pinching though, his refusal to spend just a fraction of what our rivals spend to shore up the team and give us that little bit extra we've lacked for so many years. On occasions the margin has been as slim as £2mill and Wenger wouldn't spend it.

It's a bit of a tiresome argument coming out of Arsenal and from some of the Wenger faithful. Those who complain about lacking the ambition to do more than secure a CL spot are accused of pretending the club has been relegated. Those that want to spend a few quid buying a desperately needed GK or CB are accused of wanting to be Man City. Silly really and shows how weak the Wenger argument is and how shallow the apologies some offer up for his failure.
