Think they tell him that every summer so not expecting anything much.
I'm not being conned into playing this summer. Every time the same, scanning the news for a hint of a rumour we may be on the verge of thinking about discussing the possibility of maybe signing someone worthwhile. Every other club buzzing with speculation, us lot sitting here unable to find a mention. Some 15 year old kid from Gabon signed early, rumours created by the club we are chasing Messi, Wenger saying he will be busy, a couple of months of nothing and the Wenger saying nobody is available. The only difference might be Alexis and Ozil leaving, if they can find a way to get out. Not playing along this time.
Für eure Sicherheit
Most likely leaked by the club to try and get some good PR going. I don't want Wenger to spend any money this summer, he needs to go.
Spot on, wait till we hear about the 150 million warchest Wenger has to spend on new players this summer
That's how I feel. Money pissed up the wall. For once Wenger is right about spending not being the answer.

Someone on here (I haven't checked the figures) said we had the 3rd highest net spend over the last 3 years.
It's certainly been high, compare and contrast with the 3 years before that when we actually made a net profit.
It's a complete myth that the new money hasn't made any difference to our transfer dealings.
I don’t think anyone is really arguing the difference in net spend. It’s the comparison to performance that most people have a problem with. And shouldn’t take record breaking net spending to win the FA Cup.
Also, it’s the fact that even though we’ve spent more, we’ve still been slow to address issues in the team. Striker situation is a clear example.
I know I have mentioned that before. It does show a change in attitude however league wise it really hasn't seen much change in end result.
however this happens every year about spending big up until about May when season ticket renewals go out and then things go quiet. The problem is the Euros this summer, we need to push for signings early as afterwards the players wont always get a chance to bed in and it could be a wasted opportunity. I don't think we even need much in the way of signings really, another centre back to replace Mert, maybe another central midfield to play alongside Elmo/Coq again with energy and more defensive in nature. And an goalscoring midfielder. I like Welbeck up front, he has the right attitude, right physique for what we want. He can be hit and miss but I think the more he plays the more he will hit. We don't have any other consistent goal scorers.
Granit Xhaka would be a GREAT signing. We can finally start 4 central midfielders and not need to play Coquelin. (squad player and thats all)
If we keep Ozil and can bring a center forward in to the team, we back! Of course Wenger would still be there.
