Summer spending expected
He did well i thought, he was open and relatively honest and he is clearly no fool when tryingt o be tricked into revealing coaching additions or transfer targets, also good news he has already spoken to the players we are after. As i said on another thread i think Wenger has already signed the playrs he wants but wont reveal anything until july 1st when the window opens so he can continue unabated.
If rumours are believed he is still in south america scouting and watching potential players so it looks like he will deliver what he has said.
Will have to wait to see if it makes a difference on the pitch though
Yeah but that only says it'll be a busy summer with comings and going, we're expecting quite a few players to leave, not expecting that many to come in.
Wenger has a tendency of selling players but not replacing them, he seems to ignore outgoings and consider new signings as additions, so even if we lost 5 and signed 3 he'd be happy with that.
Moreover it's coming up to season ticket renewal time, they always talk things up then.
I think it's a case of we believe it when we see it.
Fans on SSN said it was same old, same old but there was a suggestion we are after more established players at least, time will tell I guess.
There didn't appear to be much backing for Wenger as well apparently.

Yeah I meant from the fans in attendance, Ivan called it a minority when it clearly wasn't the case.
Well a) we won't know until the window closes (much as it might be frustrating, and ultimately, maybe, possibly dissapointing)
b) If we lost 5 and bought in three, I don't think that's a bad thing, provided the "three" are what we desperately need. Culling the deadwood is no bad thing, as we have a massive squad....it's just a bunch of them are fucking shite.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
a) Very true, but I'm not holding my breath we've been here before
b) Sure but it depends which 5 and whether Wenger recognises what we actually needs or whether he goes for the same old same old Wengeresque players again
I no longer trust him in the transfer market, he has to prove people wrong before anyone starts believing in him IMO.
