But he's not, he's sniffing around in the lower league trying to get mediocre cover for defenders who aren't good enough in the first place.
He's already blown the deal to land a suitable replacement for Fabregas by penny pinching again. We've still got a kid in goal, a problem that's been ongoing for years, still unresolved. We have no plan B up top if RvP gets injured, we'll need to rely on the consistently useless Vela, bringing Theo in from the wing and hoping that works out, Hoping Gervinho acclimatises instantly to PL football and don't even get me started on that freebie piece of shit Chamakh. So Fabregas is gone and Nasri is following him out the door. £50mill (maybe) but at least £40mill, plus that damn £35mill the board have claimed we've had year after year and yet we still make a profit in the transfer windows. And who are we after? Scott Dann for £6mill. Some kid for less than 1Mill, and then another kid for £15mill, what the hell is going on? Kids all over the place as experience and talent walks out the door.
Fabregas going brings one saga to and end, but don't hold your breath waiting for some stability and progress at this club. We still have the RvP saga to come, and the Wilshere circus. What we've proved is that all it takes is an agent's whisper in a player's ear and that player is as good as gone, we don't have the collective balls anywhere in the club to hang on to our players and neither do we have any sort of a plan to move forward rather sink backwards, this making it even more likely our players will abandon ship.
This isn't ending, it's only the start and things will accelerate. Wenger's crackpot policies and the board's supreme greed and deceit are finally coming home to roost as the last few of our established players leave. And we'll be asking these incoming kids to try and prop us up just a bit longer, keep qualifying for that 4th place "trophy" so the money keeps rolling in.
I'll tell you what it is - vandalism. That's what Wenger and the board have done, they've vandalised the team and this is just the latest act. More of what's gone before and more of what's to come.
