I hate this last day of the transfer window. A massive marketing ploy by Sky TV, building it up more than it ever needed to be. Like everything in life these days, its all over-hyped to hell.
No, I said it depends on how we do in the other competitions.
The last 10 years are increasingly irrelevant the further back you go, the last 2 years when the financial constraints came off and we started spending money (not this summer, it seem though) are more relevant. How I think we'll do - Cups, well you can never tell in those so I'll concentrate on the league. We'll definitely finish top 4, I'm hoping for a proper title challenge. I think we're good enough although we should have signed a striker this summer and if we don't and we don't challenge then on Wenger's head be it.
I think the last couple of years have bought him some time, this summer's business - or lack thereof - is disappointing and if we don't challenge because of it then he should be sacked.All in all, would you say the justification for retaining Wenger is wafer thin, if it exists at all? Or would you say he makes a good case for himself, looking back at the record and his current preparation for this season?
On the plus side, in 4 months time we can start a winter transfer speculation thread.
I admire you Letters (no homo). Your continual battle defending Wenger against NQ is admirable. As frustrated as I get with the old guy, he always seems to win me over, and this evening i will be pissed off that we have not signed a striker, I will soon forget it and get ready to secure 3-4th place. TBH its our place, City and Chavs are too rich, ManU too, so I just console myself that we are best of the rest.
