The waiting period.
Epic.
The "waiting period" is the new "lack a little bit of sharpness" and "spirit and togetherness"The waiting period.
Epic.
If I see any reports about us being 2% away from the end of the waiting period I'm going to swallow my own leg.

Great, now he's gone we can move to bring in another LB, preferably Baines but Enrique has good PL experience and is a decent player, rather them than Iziguerre or whatever from Celtic as Scotland is shit.
Sentimentally, it's a shame to see him go as he has always put the effort in and is a handy player for the way we play, not so sure he'll be as useful to City as they sit a little deeper (then again it means he'll be exposed less so) but he's definitely a step-up from what they already have. Footballistically, he's been making a fair few fuck-ups, playing people onside and the little brainfarts we all know and love so probably a good time for him to move on, good time for us to sell and a good time for City to get him, everyone's got a decent deal.
Clichy wants to win stuff, it clearly isn't just about money.
After 6 years of the same sh*t can you blame him or any other player for wanting to leave. Noone believes in Wenger's sh*t except Wenger, the board are only in it because of the money it brings in.
To be honest, I don't think Clichy is worth anymore than Ł7M, so although it would have been nice to receive more, I'm not surprised we didn't.
What's important is that we reinvest the transfer funds and sign a top quality replacement, however that's unlikely as Wenger's dogmatic commitment to his "youth project" demands that he sticks Gibbs into the first team, even if that has a detrimental effect on the team. This is the reason I call Wenger a free market fundamentalist. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, he will stick to his dogmatic belief in Project Youth™ despite its manifest failure. Margaret Thatcher was similar in her belief in Monetarism. Despite causing massive unemployment and failing to reduce Inflation as the policy was supposed to, she stuck to it, because she was ideologically commited to the policy despite its destructiveness.
I havn't seen any one write about Wenger on here like he is an idiot. Almost invariably most of the anti-wenger rants have been to the effect that he is a wan*ker -- not a bumbling idiot. And the reason for that is underlined in your post above.
And, if he is that stubborn, one won't be far from suggesting that he is suffering from a case of idiocy -- not a bumbling case, but idiocy nonetheless.
‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
LOL the waiting period is such a load of nonsense. I'd prefer it if Wenger was honest with us, instead of treating us like idiots.The "waiting period" is the new "lack a little bit of sharpness" and "spirit and togetherness"
so you belive if we had an offer accpeted for Aguero we could afford his wages? Clichy may want to win things, who forced him to stay at arsenal for 8 years why did he not leave after 3 if he did no think he could win more things at arsenal.
Its the wages that stops us getting big players.
