Top four? No chance!

[Grebbo]

We need to sign three world class players to finish fourth.

Will Wenger take the easy option and do nothing?

The easy, and most likely, option for Wenger is to do nothing of note in this window. It's far more comfortable for him to sit back at the end of the season and say "we missed out on fourth by a couple of points but we only spent £2.50 and Chelsea spunked £50m to get fourth".

That's been Arsene's rhetoric for several years now. It makes sense. He's scared to spend because the safety blanket of his transfer budget surplus will make him look much less of a manager.

Now is the time for Wenger to be brave and TAKE A RISK. Do nothing and we won't finish fourth, do something and at least he's tried (and done his job). It's not as if we don't have any money to spend.

After all, it's only a risk if you don't know what you're doing.

Doesnt take a genius to work it out.

We wont bring in quality this month.

Chelsea will

They will get 4th if not higher, Spuds will be the other team.

Sad thing is the Spuds will probably invest in quality too just to make sure they cement top 4. It makes me sick to the stomach that we just sit there and watch all the teams around us buy quality whilst we go and raid the bargain bucket for the cast offs that nobody else wants.

Why on earth did we move to this state of the art stadium if we refuse to strengthen the team?

The million dollar question and a question that should be put to Wenger.

Whilst the stadium was being built, all we heard was that when its done, we can compete with the best in the world in terms of signing players.

We've done f all. We have been lied to season in and out and sooner manager and board are out of here and the Russian takes over the better

[Marc Overmars]

We will buy IMO. We have a month to do it, lets not write this window off just yet.

Why, Its a no brainer Stay at highbury and be left even further behind. I doubt this was wengers vision when he heard we were moving.

as for the russian coming in never going to happen the suppoters trust will never allow it.

Same question as always. Who has benefited from this move, who has lost out? There are several hundred million pieces of evidence to explain very clearly why we now struggle for 4th PLUS struggle to compete financially. However, everything that was required to prepare the club for sale (at a huge - massive - profit for those concerned) was carefully executed even when it hurt the club.

The irony is Spurs' piddly little stadium and wage bill has produced a team that will finish above us this season. Our massive stadium and wage bill hasn't really produced much.

A couple of gems, whilst ugly, have really propelled them to the next level. Bale (we got Walcott) and Modric (Wasn't he supposed to be too small for the Prem Wenger?).

We are severely lacking star quality.

[gunnerrrrr]

people can talk about our move etc as much as they want.
the failings we show are now down to one person - Wenger

Under his stewardship we went from constantly competing for a top 2 position, and make no mistake about it, there were some outstanding teams in the prem during that time, to now struggling to make top 4.

Who is to blame for the contract fuck ups time after time...Edu, Flamini, Nasri and now RVP to name but a few.

Who sold Viera for good money and never replaced him, who sold Henry, Cesc, Nasri, Hleb etc and never bought in similar quality players.

Who thought signing Park, Squilachi, Chamack etc would improve this squad.

Who keeps players like Diaby, Rosicky, Asharvin etc etc etc on the payroll.

No we cannot compete with the top top bracket players, but i think as a football coach Wenger is one of the best in the world, if not the best so surley he can bring in the quality of player a tier below the world class and workd with them.

I am talking about the Podolskis of this world.

When Spuds signed Bale, Modric we were in for both of them but Wenger had youngsters who had proven nothing coming through so he did not pursue and look at what they are now doing.

We now only have ONE world class footballer in our squad in RVP, you look at the very best in Europe, the benchmark Barca and they have 8?9?10?.

The biggest issue is and will be Wengers stubbornness and pride. He will not accept he was wrong even if it is too our detriment, hence the reason we keep seeing Chamack, Asharvin, Roskicy, Squalichi in the squad and Oxo left out. Everyone knows Oxo is going to be class so Wenger can take his time, but the other useless fucks Wenger wants to show everyone he was right and they were wrong so he will keep giving them chances.

In summary its a fucking joke.

Grebbo, you say this shit every year. And every year we finish at least 4th. This year will be no different. But I agree that the club won't spend to buy anybody of note. But we've got a decent team. wilshere will probably provide a boost and he's much better than modric.
