Wenger Wants To Add "1 or 2"

[Coney]

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.

AW buying players at the end of the season will be his new excuse for failure, 'players need 6 months to 1 year' to adapt to the Premiership! Well, you sly cock, if you wouldve bought them earlier and had them integrate with our training, playing style and the culture, it wouldnt a problem, would it?! Like so many posters have said, its becoming a patern and everyone bar the rose tinted glass supporters (Optimism Clique) can see it.

yeah, but we were in a 'waiting period' --- waiting to see who we can sell then balance the books with bargain signings to record a profit.

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?

And on the other end of the spectrum, you've got those that will defend him no matter what.

Love him or hate him...I don't care, but the point is, if you've watched our transfer dealings over the past few seasons, you should at least be able to spot the trends and patterns by now. The noise coming from the manager should set off a few alarm bells. The fact that it's taken us a couple of months to sign a small time player from A small French club should be a worry as well. If we're having trouble with this sort of deal, then I'm not holding my breath over a big name signing.

Optimistic Clit members are too defensive and just ignore blatant issues and that's what's annoying. We're not 1 or 2 players away from being championship material.

Right, but there aren't many of them, are there? Are there any on here at all?
