Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
yeah, we'll never win a trophy under him again...
Sorry I didnt clearly mention title = Premier League, but I am sure you understood what I meant.

I did. But you were probably (correct me if I'm wrong) one of the people saying we'd never win any trophies under Wenger again.
After the Birmingham debacle I thought the same.
Wenger's already shown he can win the title, he's done it 3 times. The only difference now is you've got 2 billionaire-cheat sides making it far more difficult.
Right now though we've got a squad which is very close to being able to win it, one or two signings and we'd have a great chance.
He won the title over a decade ago, that's a long time in football, he doesn't show any signs of being able to win another title there are glaring holes in his management methods which give us little chance.
You say one or two signings, but that's one of the problems, he's highly unlikely to make those signings, he always seems satisfied with what he has, even the managers who have won the league or CL the year before aren't.
Yes, and we've had a decade of stadium repayments while the billionaires run amok. Those financial constraints are now lifted, Wenger has started spending money and the difference has been obvious. 2 trophies in 2 years after years of nothing.
Any 'glaring holes' in his management methods were there a decade ago when he was winning titles.
Wenger has shown he can still win us trophies (something most of us had started to doubt) and we've shown as a squad we can stand up in the big games.
For two thirds of last season we matched Chelsea stride for stride, we've yet to do it for a whole season but we're good enough, IMO.
If we had a proper, top striker we'd have a very good chance. Even as it is we've got the squad to compete.
I don't know about 15 points, but Cech will make a difference IMO, there's no reason to think we won't go very close this year.
Do you have this argument copied and pasted somewhere? We've got £200m sitting in the bank and if we're a player away from being favorites to win the title, it's time to stop making excuses.
Do you have yours?
For the sake of argument what striker would you buy, the problem for me is that there isn't anything that is a vast improvement on what we have. It's not that I rate Giroud, I just really don't rate Benzema or Cavani and Aubemeyang probably would play on the behind the striker and we already have people that can do that (Sanchez for example).
Lacazette? Impressive goal scoring stats last season but we bought Giroud on the basis of one good season so I'm naturally skeptical.
Don't get me wrong we should definitely be going in hard to buy a striker, just off the top of my head I don't know who that top quality striker is because the three best ones in world football are all owned by one club.
Muller? Look at his goal scoring stats and not so impressive
Reus? Not really a striker, but I don't know maybe could play in that position...might be asking a lot of a player his age
In Giroud we have a wiltord, the task is to find our Thierry Henry
