Title chance
Title chance
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Puma Money
Just pay the money IMO, you've scouted him for so long, and now you have the perfect chance to stump up an extra £7m and get him.
His release clause is active in the summer = Everyone else will be interested. Want him in the summer ? Well it'll cost the same amount !
Best chance we're going to have to win the title in a long time IMO, next season Chavs will be stronger with Mourinho having had a full season to build his team and Man U should be improving their squad considerably (Liverpool too with a few additions won't be far away).
There's two major problems at this club, one is the injury problems which seem to be completely ignored by the management as if they don't exist, the 2nd is the handling of transfers, we always sign players as late as possible or drag transfers out over months leaving us with nothing at the end or little time to find alternatives, I really don't get it.
If we don't sign one or two players it will be a big mistake IMO.
Do not forget, we also have Bendtner and Sanogo who can play there.Originally Posted by Özim

He's always done this and it's a serious flaw. If he truly thinks this guy can make a difference to our title hopes then why wait? He should have a list of players that he knows will fit our style and his philosophy then do whatever it takes to get that player. That's what our rivals do. City and Chelsea spend stupid money on players but that's because they're making dead certain their bid is accepted over any other club and they pay silly wages to further compel the player because they know they're name doesn't ring the same sort of bells as the other top established clubs. If their manager says players A, B and C will win us the title, then they take no gambles. We need to get to that point. I don't want to see money wasted on players like Gervinho and Podolski who he'll lose faith in after a season or two.
Beginning to look like the same tight old arsenal, isn't it.
Just hope we scrimp and hard ball on Wenger's contract negotiation as much as we do on transfers - we are only interested in paying for super, super quality, after all.
This kid will end up going somewhere else and his agent will shop him around to someone else because he simply won't want to do business with us. I don't see how we can go so deep into negotiations for so many players and come out with nothing. Jovetic, Higuain, Suarez...we end up messing it up and half the time we have to pray that no other club wants the player.
I agree, if we leave it until the summer, we won't get him before the World Cup, if he has a good World Cup the top clubs will be swarming all over him and we'll miss out.
If what Ornstein is saying is true than to be honest fans need to go to the Crystal Palace match and protest, and demand that Wenger is not allowed to sign a new contract before the end of the season and that he should not be awarded one at all without silverware.
I don't care about the Champions League qualification, it's not a trophy......the league title, the european cup, the fa cup and the league cup are trophies....at the end of this season we will have gone without silverware for the longest time in our modern history and for that he should lose his job. I have never bought the argument about the Man City's and Chelsea's preventing us from winning things, if anyone believes we would have won something if not for those two clubs than they are deluding themselves.
lol
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
