We need a sugar daddy to compete.

Pretty much all i've heard from you is:


*Shrugs*

If you believe SAF coming here with our squad would win us the league, then AW should be given a huge amount of credit for putting together a champion winning size on an 8th the budget of everyone else (similar to the way Roiche and Bould are eulogised on here) - I don't think some of the players are good enough personality, and a manager in a club with high aspirations and resources wouldn't have put up with it for as long as we have.

yes a more tactically aware manager could finish higher up the league than Wenger currently and yes Wenger deserves all the credit for putting together this squad on bugger all money while getting a brand new stadium and brand new training facilities and raisng our rep, improving scouting, diet, fitness and everything else he has done.

Could be better in the here and now but people are too quick to forget everything he has done because we died on our arse this past 2 years.

I'm pretty sure SAF wouldn't put up with the rubbish Arsene does. Arsene is too passive, he's too wrapped up in his stupid failing project to see the wood through the trees.

SAF would be a lot more pragmatic & ruthless IMHO. I'm not saying SAF would win us the league with this squad but he would most definitely get more out of them.

He definitely would have won the league this year with our squad.

The team is packed with talent.

But he wouldn't have stood for all the nonsence we've seen from our lot this year. There would have been rockets so far up arses, they wouldn't have had time to think about shipping four goals having been four up.

Therefore I don't see what your argument is about....why do we need a sugar daddy if we have money to spend??

Are people thick or something?


I'll be proved right at the end of the summer me thinks. Either way, I'm not absolving Wenger from blame, but do you think Mancini would have won anything with our squad or budget? I guess if you do then there's no hope for any of us.

Agreed. And you are spot on with your original analysis too.

If Wenger buys experience this Summer, and lands a player with the stature, authority and leadership to address the attitude problem in the team then that may make a temporary difference, but I'm afraid that our manager ain't going to change his mentality or character now, and I fear that whatever purchases are made, the end result will be the same over time. The culture that has led to our players not playing to their full potential will only change with the manager.

I dont understand how you will be "right" at the end of the summer? Mancini will spend silly money on silly players and we wont, how does that prove we need a sugar daddy? Wenger has money he just chooses to spend it when and where he wants, having a billionaire bankroller wont change that.

I don't think he would, no. But I think that a SAF or a Mourinho or a Hiddink would. But that is an issue to do with the manager, not the amount of money we do/don't have to spend.

Eh?

Answer my question nobby. If we already have money to spend (got that part??), why do we need a sugar daddy??

[Cripps_orig]

Spending money would help obviously.

aving a manager who isnt a cunt and knows what hes doing would help even more

Oh, so your one of those who think 30mill in the bank is "money to spend" - With signing on fees, first year of wages as well as agent and transfer fees it's precisely fuck all in this market. He's probably already spent 10 mill of that with the youngsters and he probably spent a similar amount all together on transfers last season.

Yes; if mancini or any manager came in and decided he was not going to make excuses for poor performance and address the deficiencies in the team , then yes we coulfd have won the carling cup.

If the manager who comes in is going to take issue with players like bendtner,denilson,diably,eboue, etc all on huge salaries for nothing and invest the money in proven or experienced players, then we can win something or be able to beat teams like fulham.

If the manager who comes in decides to take set-pieces seriously so that we can score from corners as well and defend them too -- then yes our squad can win things.

That is the argument GB,LDG,myself and others have been making.

So you see, all those things do not require a sugar-daddy
