Who Will Win The League - 2

[Marc Overmars]

By "go mental" do you mean not being the only manager in Europe who didn't sign an outfield player because in his crazy little mind he thought this squad was already good enough?

Why is it always pushed to the extreme? We spend nothing because the only alternative would be spending like the chavs and the gypos? Nothing in between? Like a decent midfielder or striker? Would it have been "mental" to go into this season properly prepared to make a serious challenge? And it's not just this season, it's every bloody season. Again, a massive convenience. Coincidental of course.

Yep. I've never heard any Arsenal fan advocate spending a truck load on whoever the hell is available, that's what City and Chelsea have done in the past and they've left a trail of waste behind. All we've ever wanted is to see is our resources maximised and problem areas in the team addressed before it's too late. Is there a difference between buying no one and buying everyone? Both to me represent incompetence. Though at least with the latter your assets are on the field where they might be able to make a difference, sod all is going to happen if money is sitting in the bank.

Wenger could easily have spent more last summer and in summers gone by, the trouble is he does the work of a Director of Football and a CEO as well. He should not be setting his own criteria on what represents value for money.
