Sad but true, I've long mentioned our lack of ambition as an issue, ambition involves sometimes taking a risk....Wenger did with Overmars in his hay day and look how tha worked out, Bergkamp was another gamble (albeit not by Wenger)......nowadays when top players become available (even at decent prices like Parker and Van der Vaart) we're always at back of the queue or worst still not in the queue at all.
These bargain signings need to stop if we're going to improve, every top team needs a few special players to make the difference...other than maybe the often injury prone RVP we seem to lack that.
Like i have said we shall see the clubs's ambiton in this window, but with Gazidaz saying they don't need the cl next season it seems they could be happy for 5th this season. All the board shee is the how much money they can make. This is why they were happy with the american he suited their agenda where as the russian would have made sure we spent our profits even if it hit them in the pocket a lil bit.
im sure Wenger wants to win things but now is the time to be ambtious about it.

5th place will soon become a trophy.
We're still in the waiting period
January is a little different because it makes less sense for the top players to move around. But if the chequebook doesn't come out in major style this summer we have all our answers about Kroenke. The evidence is already in on the cunts that went before him. We now know the stadium move and all the crap that surrounded it was to facilitate the cash grab and sell-on. The worry is, Kroenke has said he approves of this model and won't be changing it. As a businessman it makes perfect sense for him, I suppose. But we'll see. You'd have to hope the fans won't let this happen twice in succession.

We have an awful board and an even worse manager.
Not a good combo
Time for the Russian?
The idea previously (and fuck knows how we were so naive) was the present bunch of silver spoon twats were somehow more honourable than your average Russian gangster. Now that myth has been laid to rest (everywhere bar the media), perhaps we're better of with a crook that's not trying to pretend he's something else.
