He buys world class players only when the pressure is on and the coterie of average joes fail repeatedly. But never enough of the world class to make up for the dross. In many instances the better players will be watching the clunkers from the bench while Wenger weaves his magic with them.

If the manager is not hungry for titles and neither is the owner, then only the fans rarely can tip the balance.
In truth we have never been short of money only the will to spend it and the only person who kept on making the case that others spending hindered us was Wenger, which Leicester are about to prove conclusively, is not true.
If you think the stadium has had no impact on our finances, than i think all i can do is suggest you wait and see what Spurs end up spending over the next five-ten seasons, and how many of their current squad they will end up selling to other clubs.
Again not to immunise Wenger from criticism because there are at least two or three seasons where we had a squad good enough to win the title since moving to the Emirates and Wenger botched it.
