Now you can officially start to panic...

As Ivan said at a AGM meeting, it makes sense for the manager to involved with the process. But you have to wonder how bad Wenger wants a striker this season. Will he blow the budget on one massive signing or have a gamble with Giroud?

Wells he bid for 30 million for Suarez so to me it looks like he does want a striker. You don't bid double your transfer record if you want to gamble with Giroud. So I think he does want one, wether he gets one is a different matter.

It does make sense for a manager to be involved but only to a point. If the board are saying we have the money don't worry, and he's worrying, that is not sensible. The board then need to tell him to leave it to them. He's identified a target, they will get him the target.

It's like with all things on Wenger's wishlist; The best at the cheapest price possible.

Until he realises that you can't always have a bargain, he will continue to keep ducking deals when the price goes too high, and the formular on his spreasheet says #value!

Not too worried about 4th, always seem to somehow get the rub of the green and end up there.

Nah. You don't finish 4th every year by luck.

Why not bid £30 for Higuain or just meet Real's asking price and be done with it?

Why not indeed? It doesn't help when you agree a 25 million deal then at the last second Madrid turn around amd go yeah actually we want 37 million. Adding 13 million on is huge and bound to make anyone take a second look amd see If there are others.

But you still haven't answered my question, what is stopping the board in turning around to wenger amd telling him to not worry about the price, we will sort it like dein did

[Kano]

when have madrid asked for 37m? in fact, when was the bar set at any price?

[Power n Glory]

good for him. i read the same last year too.

Really? He was that specific last year about the sort of player we could afford?
