A fallacy quashed?

Old habits die hard.

Wenger & Gazidis always flex their muscles at Season ticket renewal time, given the 6% rise they are likely to do it more so than ever his summer.

I dunno...the cynic in me says that whilst Wenger has every intention of modifying his approach, when push comes to shove he'll go searching around Ligue One looking for those "Unpolished Gems".

Wenger doesn't take part in Todays market because he doesn't believe in it and the prices that go along with it. He will revert to type...im quite sure of that.

Well, that's where we got Adebayor, Sagna, Petit, Vieira etc etc. So it can work.

And I still think Koscielny will be a good buy. Squilacci was a risk, a bit like Silvestre....seeking only to plug a gap on the cheap...this is my only worry really. If he makes that kind of signing, i.e. "knock down price on the cheap but cos he's old makes him experienced" we're fucked.

But if rumour is true, we'll do a few of those rough diamonds, a few yongsters, and most importantly, a few experienced higher priced quality signings.

It can work when the balance of the team/squad is right, but more often than not it will not work when you are mixing developing players with players who have no experience of the league/CL.

I've nothing against Arsene buying from Ligue One or even youngsters, but he needs to do it in moderation and find the right balance in the team/squad.

Koscielny isn't a bad player..but he's a classic Wenger gamble, someone who was thrown in at the deep end. He's a developing player and one that was new to the League, he should have been eased into the team.

IMHO Last summer, Arsene should have bought Koscielny & a finished product type signing for Centre Back.

But anyway....I'll wait and see with Arsene in regards to his moves in the Market this summer but I'm not expecting anything significant.
