Wenger Wants To Add "1 or 2"

[budesonide]

His superior attitude towards the fans is disgusting. This is no way to treat supporters, many of whom travel 100s of miles to support the team away from home, and keep singing despite the team putting up an abject, cowardly performance. Can you imagine Fergie doing the same? Of course not, because there's a connection with the fans at Man Utd, unlike here where the board, Chief Exec and manager all act as if we're a burden on the club with our lofty expectations, and in an ideal world we would be replaced by compliant prawn sandwich eaters more interested in appearing trendy than supporting the team through thick and thin.

spot on!
this is what happens when you go corporate.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was a football club, the 'moany' fans would have been fired and replaced with brown-nosing scums whose main priority will be to say 'AW/the board knows' for the rest of eternity.
Fortunately we only have to deal with condescension from the board and the manager and put up with comments like 'people are impatient' in response to questions regarding the ambitions of the FOOTBALL club.
C'est la vie!

Our "like new signings" Gibbs and Verm will soon be injured and then when they're fit towards the end of the season "they'll be like new signings again".

Wenger's signed RVP 15 times.

I have lost count on how many times we have signed Diaby!

I did actually think he was going to make major changes this summer. However, looks like I will have to brew that massive dump. That letter box is gonna take one hell of a beating.

Keep the faith bro, he is unlikely to show his hand by statimng he needs 7 players as it gets everyones juices going and silly mopney comes out, plus it alerts the others to start following us around seing who we are trying to buy and makes agents start creating stories (like the downing one) We cant buy that many playerrs due to the squad restrictions admittedly but i think shipping out Almuinia and the hopeless Bendtner is a great start, hopefully denilson and Rosicky are next. Also JET, Eastmond and Lansbury having gone to the far east so they may walk as well.

its all good just wait longer

Come on, dude. I hear this sort of response all the time.

When has Wenger ever bluffed like this and actually delivered more than we actually expected? I can't recall him doing this in recent years. He's followed the same pattern for at least the last three or four seasons now. He never bluffs the market and if he's tried to, it never works.

We can wait until the window closes, he may surprise us, but past behaviour suggests otherwise.

Wenger said at the end of the season that things had not worked out and that he would have to make changes. Gazidis said the same at the AST - that he and Wenger knew that they needed to change the approach, so past behaviour is not an issue unless you think Wenger is lying. Of course, if you DO think he is lying, why are you accepting it is a literal truth when he says '1 or 2'?

What I see all the time is posters accepting any number of rumours about us selling Cesc to Barca and Citeh for various sums, Nasri to Citeh, manu and others for a pittance and so on - that Wenger is wrong to let them go, etc. etc. but when Wenger says specifically that he does not want Cesc and Nasri to go and is working hard to make them say, these direct comments are ignored by the same posters.

Which way do people want it? Or do they just want to lay into Wenger no matter what he does?

Regardless of whether you want to suck Wenger's cock, hate him with the fire of a thousand suns, or something inbetween, the simple fact is, he needs to sort out our shit quickly. We saw from the busi ness end of last season, we haven't got what it takes to compete and win things. There appears to have been an initial acknowledgement of the need to make material change this season. If that is indeed the view held within the Club, we need to act now to give us a chance of bedding in new players. United have done this and we will be facing them, Liverpool and a couple of CL qualifiers, all before the transfer window shuts.

Carrying out our business towards the arse end of the transfer window just won't do if we don't want to be facing a season that is on its way to being over before it starts.

Believe what you want to believe, but it's been shown many times before he never does the necessary. 1 or 2 is exactly that, we've heard it many times before even when we've sold players, it's not about what he says it's about what he's done for going on 6 years that's plenty of proof for me.

As for saying he's not selling players, said exactly the same about Anelka, Petit and Overmars so it's doesn't mean a lot. His comments just exasperate a situation that the fans already expect, we know what will happen because nothing ever changes with Wenger....and if you look at his words recently about being so close you can see the same pattern again.

As I've said before everytime a timeline is set, posters change it when nothing happens....whether it be let's see what happens by the end of the summer, at Xmas, after the season, on the 1st of July or at the end of July or whenever else.

Nothing's gonna change.

No he hasn't.

Wenger says he's got money, the only thing remaining is finding the real 'top quality' players we need to add to the squad. It appears he can never find, quickly enough, any better players than the bunch of bottlers we have turning up in our kit the past 5 years! --- what more, it seems it is taking him forever to address obvious and admitted flaws in the team.

Have we seen this pattern before? YES!

He has already come out with the 'Vermaelen is like a new addition' line. Soon -- and I hope I am wrong -- he will come out with the 'the squad is strong, it doesn't need any major surgery; if we can find one or two of real players of quality we will look to add them'.

Oh wait; he's already spouted that.

I guess we now have to pray that the dreaded reeling out of stats regarding our performance last season to justify not having to make any major signings come the end of the window doesn't happen!

Do you see a pattern?
