No it wouldn't, it would add fuel to the scumbag fan narrative and give Wenger sympathy he doesn't deserve
I love how the media paints gooners as ungrateful brats for our 'impatience' with Wenger even though they are the ones who lay into him most.
I doubt there are many who would want to lose to Lincoln though, but there are a lot who have gone past caring.
"This is not going to be free!" is that all it takes to scare us away, no wonder we never sign anyone top notch if that's the case. I'm wondering whether Wenger just makes these things up, what a ridiculous story, if it's true we look incompetent, if it's a lie it's a pretty poor effort.
Funny how Wenger almost signs all of these top notch players but then manages to sign these not so great players all the time.
I do wonder how you simultaneously hold in your head the two thoughts that Wenger is cheap and won't spend money and Wenger spends far too much on players who aren't worth it.
Easily
a) He generally won't sign established players as they cost too much
b) He signs players for 10-15 million (because they are relatively cheap who aren't good enough) and basically when they don't work out it's wasted money we could have put towards quality players, we also pay kids way too much.
He's cheap in a sense that he won't pay market rate, he's happy to stock up sub standard players that cost 10-15 million though
He's signed plenty of players for far more than that and he pays very high wages to players who I think we all agree dont deserve it. So how is he 'cheap'? You can more reasonably accuse him of spending money unwisely but you can't have it both ways and simultaneously accuse him of spending too much and being "cheap"
