Top four? No chance!

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.

You are missing the point mate.

We are fucking Arsenal FC..not Spuds, 4th should never be good enough more so when we fans pay what we do to watch these guys.

I don't actually. Most seasons I say at the start that I'll be happy with fourth - very different statements.

Wilshere is not much better than Modric. It's amazing how much Jack's stock has risen since he's been out. I think people are in for a shock when he comes back, he's still inconsistent and is learning the game. He certainly won't be enough to get us fourth.

I've seen a fair bit of Spurs and they're a very good team, forget about them, they're out of sight - have you seen their upcoming fixtures??

We're in a straight fight with Chelsea. Do you think Chelsea will finish 5th? Chelsea?! I don't.

You've got to admit this year the task of finishing 4th is much different to what it's been in recent years though. We've always been where Spurs are now, on the periphery of the title race but comfortably in the top 4.

This year we're jostling for 1 position with 2 other clubs. I wouldn't be so confident just yet because it looks like going to the wire.

That's also why I think we'll buy this month.

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.

I don't disagree with a lot of your post - but I seem to remember a lot of 12th place finishes with the best of recent years prior to him joining being 5th. As for contract fuck ups the blame lies with the Club hierarchy. If Wenger is responsible for agreeing contracts with players, what is the point of Gazidis? If you're right about that - the Board are negligent.

If we dont bring in a permanent partner for RVP, we wont finish 4th. Theo is a talented sprinter and Gervinho is not an out and out striker. We needed a striker in the summer, and Wenger buys Park? Crazy.

[Kano]

given rvp's form, any 'big name' striker will look and realise he would be spending a lot of time on the bench.

if wenger can find a sub 10 mill striker ready to be patient, then go for it.

but this isn't football manager 2012 and it's not as easy as shopping in tescos.
