    Tell me. How much did they cost their respective clubs. And which of those teams had a sugar daddy.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    No, you're just saying that we need billions to compete when that patently isn't the case.

    We have a few problems right now.

    1. Our Manager doesn't seem capable of rectifying some 'long term' issues in the Squad, namely the issues with Central Defence/Set Pieces. In addition to the Defence issues, we have a bloated squad now with a number of players who don't contribute anything to the team who are on over-inflated wages.

    2. We seemingly have a cultural/attitude problem amongst members of the Squad.

    3. Our Manager won't spend the necessary amount of money to bring in established quality.

    You state we need a Sugar Daddy to compete, do you think exclusively throwing money at the problems highlighted will solve our problems? In fact it's a mute point anyway because I'm pretty certain that if Wenger was given Millions to spend he would still refuse to spend it.

    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 do not require a sugar-daddy
    The season before last, we where beating all the lower league teams handily, and we where all complaining about not being able to beat our competitors. You've latched to a problem that's only really developed THIS season - and has come off the back of some SHOCKING individual performances from players WE ALL KNOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, but weren't replaced with the quality needed - or just weren't replaced at all.

    Mancini without yaya toure this season would have gotten sacked. These days, players of that quality (for example) just aren't interested in joining us.

    Spot on;

    Wenger has said that much. And his track record proves it too.

    And if we had an owner who didn't put up with that crap and demanded more, he's be gone. Why are you making this false argument, regurgitating GB's point about how this is all the managers fault?

    You claim that we have the money to spend. In relative terms, we really don't. 30mil? 50mill? Compared to the 90-120mill Chelsea and United are about to spend?
