Also we failed to sign anyone else apart from Gael Clichy and largely the unbeaten team was built around those we already had at the club.
Also I think we went unbeaten despite Lehmann, I think people have rose tinted spectacles as to what a liability he was....don't get me wrong he was a very good goalkeeper but he also was extremely rash (off the top of my head, winning the title at White hart lane with a 2-2 draw that should have been a 2-1 victory if not for Lehmann being a twat and then the Champions League final he had a moment of insanity after performing fantastically en route to the final).

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah, Jens had a very high ceiling which he reached from time to time but he was very capable of undermining that with a moment of madness.

He's certainly a cult hero though because he was a great WUM.

[AFC Leveller]

Mad Jens had his moments i agree but he was solid, professional and good at his job.

[Fist of Lehmann]

Supposedly we've cooled our non-interest in Vidal and are now officially not interested. We're also uninterested in Schneiderlin and if this article is true then the board isn't interested in spending any significant money. Budget is £50mill including wages, apparently, allegedly. So £10mill has gone on Cech, with a further £5mill in wages. That leaves £35mill, which would be £25-£30mill to sign one player and then his wages. Only two conclusions can be drawn from this. Firstly we aren't signing Messi. Secondly these figures are probably made up.

Telegraph trying to hide the fact they perform zero due diligence and run with any old shit they find on the internet.
Grabbed the Vidal story from a fake twitter account, then try to tell everyone Arsenal have ENDED their fake interest.

Telegraph, it's just a broadsheet Metro.

According to Philippe Auclair Schneiderlin prefers Arsenal but there is some problem between his agent and the club.
Probably demanding some ridiculous kickback, so I doubt we'll deal.

Agents should be killed.

Agents should be killed.

Excellent point.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Excellent point.

Burned in a wicker man?

If Schneiderlin wanted Arsenal, why would he let his agent block the move? More likely is Arsenal were never really interested in a midfielder - which Wenger has told us about 50 times already. He's happy with what he has there. I would've liked Schneiderlin but I think if Wenger wanted him he would've got it done last season.
