Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

I actually don't think he's lied this time round.

He may have been incompetent, by failing to get Wenger to deliver, or fucking up negotiations (assuming we had any negotiations to make).

But Wenger is most at fault here. Not necessarily because he's an idiot or bad person, moreso that he has whimped out of spending money. He wants to work in football, yet he is too stubborn, too idealistic and too slow to work in todays market. A market where you get left behind very quickly, and a climate where you can't make a side on the cheap anymore.

But what really pins this on him, is the excuses he is making....no longer on behalf of the club, but on behalf of himself....and that is not something we should entertain. There is one thing defending his employer, but to make excuses to cover his own personal hesitant tendancies and moralistic crusade, shows a lack of class, IMO.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why we are left with a threadbare squad. The groundwork was done, and we battled to get to this position. Now we're going to be back where we started.

Spot on. I genuinely don't think he's comfortable having money to spend.

Rooney's coming home

i dont think he is either which is why he needs that Dein figure back. Dein used to ask wenger who he wanted, and then just sign them while wenger dithered anyway. he wouldnt listen to wengers idea about the price, he jsut signed him. wenger was a winner when he had someone doing that. and i still think he will be a winner if he has someone doing that again.

otherwise i cant really argue with what LDG said

[Ralpheroo72]

Bet wenger made him pay for lunch

The issue for me though is that he has become so powerful he won't accept a CEO coming in and telling himn what to do.

Its sad to see, as I've been a supporter of his even during the tough times. But I would be fully behind him not being offered a new contract and leaving next summer (he won't be sacked). We need change, and I don't think a new CEO would bring that whilst Wenger is still here.

I don't know what's wrong with some of you, I think some people are just never happy.

You wanted a new striker, he signed a new striker, you wanted rid of the deadwood, he got rid of the deadwood.

FFS you can't please some people.

the only person who could come in and control wenger is Dein. i believe they are still close friends. but Dein is no angel, superb in the transfer market but he did sell out too. its such a fuck up
