Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

If you listen to Gazidis and what he did when the new sponsorship deals were announced, he put a lot of public pressure on Wenger to make a huge signing. He made it known that a player like Rooney and the ridiculous wages he was on wasn't an obstacle to us. I don't they're totally happy and the pressure was on for him to deliver silverware. Maybe after these FA Cup wins he feels some sort of vindication and has breathing space. I don't know.

But what are they supposed to do in this situation? They can't really tell him his team isn't good enough. They can't force a signing on him like so many other clubs do. They just have to make sure the support is there if he needs it, step back and let him walk to glory or off a cliff. I don't blame Wenger because he's not accountable. I blame him because he should know better than any exec on our Board and it's a disgrace if someone has to whisper in his ear to tell him this team isn't good enough. I don't want them involved on the playing side. I just hope they set a higher target for him. Something along the lines of 4th isn't good enough anymore. A domestic trophy and a solid, competitive Prem and CL run is the bear minimum. If we're out of the race by Christmas or out by the last 16 again, you're out of a job!

Well this is it, the proof will be in what we acheive this season and how the board react to this, if as I suspect they still offer Wenger a new contract despite not competing for meaningful silverware than there can be no doubt they are equally culpable.
I agree with you in the sense that Gazidis has tried to use the media to levy pressure on Wenger, but it's the major shareholder that doesn't want anything to change

United have spunked 80 million euros on Martial, including bonuses. Wenger will use this example for why he hasn't signed anyone.

How dumb is that? So if PSG can't bring in a replacement then why would they sell?

Perfect time to conduct business for Wenger though, when there's zero chance of getting anything done.

Well said. It's quite obvious Wenger's putting in bids now because there's no chance they'll be accepted. And then he can turn to the fans and say 'I tried'. And the fans will believe him. But not us two because we're smart innit.

I know this might sound negative but I don't think we are going to sign anymore players.

I bet we sign someone.......I am yet to be let down by the club

Don't know what you're talking about.

In the end, if he doesn't get something done today (and by "he" I mean him and that team he has that is supposedly working around the clock) what he's shown is he can't get things done in the market while every other club seems able, even Utd who appear to be the north's comedy equivalent.

This is meant to be a top operation striving for a place with the elite. Anyone can be sarcastic about the repetitive failures but the failures remain.

Anyway, you don't need to look past Sanogo. What was that all about? How can a man so misunderstood get things that badly wrong?

Agreed mate. Makes me so angry to think how much good that £200m could do to the slums in Africa and Luton. Could've adopted Berahino and given him a career. And instead Wenger prefers to keep it under his mattress while its value disappears. I'm fuming.

Same story every summer. Vinegar simple refuses to address key issues so he can prove people wrong.

When you've had a couple more PM me, I have a little job for you.
