Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

erm

“It (our philosophy) won’t change. It doesn’t mean we will not spend money. I am always painted like a guy who refuses to spend money, but I just think I act like a responsible manager because we went through a period where we had restricted funds and I acted in a responsible way.

philosophy has been to penny pinch and save.

philosophy wont change = will continue not spending.

honestly this is like talking to a kid. your drive to defend wenger makes you overlook the obvious.

what do you want clarification on next? what day it is?

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm not defending Wenger at all, but your hyper response and Soviet Pravda(esque) analysis provides more insight on your thought processes and state of mind than anything in that article or Letters tbh.

[Letters]

You're picking and choosing quotes to suit your headline like a good tabloid journalist.
Elsewhere he says he's willing to spend money.

I'd say his words clearly point to a guy who is going to stick to the same policies he has over the last 7 years, the fact he constantly refers to this subject about money suggests to me he has a real problem with spending.

He's always saying sh*t like "in England everyone thinks money isn't the answer" etc he puts so much emphasis on this it's hard to believe he doesn't have a real problem with it, this line in the article is a joke though "“We want to be the best. But the best is not only about buying players. We need to continue with what has made our strength until now."....is he serious? We've be f*cking awful so what strength is he talking about, is this the strength that has seen us bottle everything in sight since 2005?

Any manager can see we need some serious investment now, everyone about from the one guy that matters of course, he's in total denial thinking he can magic his way out of this situation using some sort of mythical values and traits his team possesses. he clearly hasn't been watching properly for a while now.

Well yes but it's really half arsed to be honest, it's not a convincing statement at all, he'll spend money on his terms.....i.e if they're cheap and what he considers super super quality (which must be another term for average), he won't splash out on players we actually need at this stage.

It never ceases to amaze me he doesn't accept his policy hasn't worked, he's still harping on about the same stuff never acknowledging that maybe we need a change of direction.

[Özim]

Yep. Where in the article does he say he won't spend it?
He actually says the opposite, but don't let the that get in the way of the headline.

When has he ever really spent money, we've had a positive transfer balance for years now. Not sure why that would change, he's still discussing the issue of money in much the same way he has since he last won something i.e spend but spend cautiously.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

of course he says he's willing to spend money.

he's been spouting the same shit for 7 years to please fans and media.

i choose to look at action rather than words.

a man who says one thing but does another.

he's shot.

[Özim]

I'm not sure how people can defend him anymore when he has a proven record of underspending and neglecting the team in favour of the bank balance.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

they'll defend him even if he takes us into liverpool-esque mediocrity.

they'll stand by his side and pray he'll turn it around.

in the space of 7 years he's downgraded fan expectation from champions to top 4 stagnation.

only a genius can do that and still sit on a throne with an army of supporters.

a genius in being a fucking wanker.

[Özim]

I don't see what there is to defend anymore to be honest, you can ignore any articles and just look at the pattern of the last 7 years, the article really simply supports what has happened before (over and over and over again(#), it's just another sign of a stubborn man who won't change his ways for anyone or anything even when they have proven to be a total failure....something he seems to totally deny, in fact more often than not he seems to hail this period as a success and a time when we've shown great strength and quality.


Mystifying how this guy just doesn't wake up from the pipe dream.
