Now you can officially start to panic...

Jesus. You lot spent all night on this?

Is the market to blame if we don't buy anyone? Is that where this debate is heading since we now have money and can't blame the Board?

I think you can blame the board for not spending this summer as well as wenger. Everyone's complained that wenger is in charge of the finances too much, yet let the board off for not stepping in amd dealing with finances themselves and telling wenger to just worry about the football.

Don't know much about the Italian league tbh. Though it seems they have a better reputation and a bigger desire to spend than even we do after selling there star striker.

We're not spending 40mill on higs. Ivan said that we use algorithms and spread sheets to determine the value of players. Objective risk analysis crap neither Ivan or wenger really interferes with.... Barring some deadline day trolly dash.

I can just imagine Dale Winton sending Wenget dashing off down the aisle!

There is no point in whinging about the market. Other clubs make do so why can't we? No point in complaining about the lack of quality players if we're not prepared to pay the price for them.

If we take that 40 million and get Suarez, Madrid miss out on 40 million and/or a player they want. We get a world class striker, they are left with one who doesn't want to play for them and they seemingly don't want.

I think they can sleep easy on that one

If he doesn't want to spend he doesn't want to spend, the board don't mind he's the manager and they're only interested in profits.

and those two plastic bags is all we're getting this summer. Trust Wenfer to go Aldi and come out with just that amount of purchases

Do you blame the board at all for lack of spending or do you solely blame wenger?
