    6 million is peanuts to be honest in today's world, you'd be lucky to have anyone accept that, it's a lowball offer.

    His constant efforts to hype up 4th place also point to a man who is satified with his efforts getting 4th IMO.

    Koscielny is much better. So is the BFG.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    'We' haven't done anything, it's just the way football has gone and if you look at the money other clubs are chucking around to try and get in the top 4 you'll see it's not just us who value it and see how important it is in terms of finance and prestige. I agree it's a bit rubbish but you can't blame Arsenal or Wenger for it.

    Any quote from Wenger should be taken with a pinch of salt. We all know that, Zimm.

    Whilst we haven't, the club and manager have many times said how great an achievment it was etc etc. I agree from a financial point of view it does have a lot of meaning, prestige perhaps but being knocked at a predictable stage every season is doing nothing for it's credibility IMO, it's this that bothers me about the CL, we don't really even seem to have an outside chance because we're almost too predictable, our game doesn't seem to play the odds (Chelsea a few years back won it when they weren't the best teams, due to some lucky breaks, but their style of play and desire gave them that chance to "get lucky" IMO).

    Yes and no, he does talk a lot of rubbish, but there's things he says that are backed up on the pitch and in the transfer market as well.

    It's clear he values the CL, if there was no 3rd/4th place CL placings I'm pretty sure his approach would be different. It's not winning something but it's at least on a par for the club.

    Depending on which way you want to move the goalposts, presumably.
