A fallacy quashed?

It's a risk Wenger or another manager wouldn't have had to take with unlimited funds. Hell, Koscienly, Squid and our entire back line falls into that bracket. And with the point I made eariler is there was a time when we signed decent players, for the price we're now picking up dross. This transfer/wage inflation is another result of City and Chelsea spunking millions.

Managers have there strengths and weaknesses tbh. I along with everyone else admit failings in coaching defence and even attack - but it's clear that these weaknesses are only in comparison to rivals who also have structural advantages. And unless you believe Mancini or Avarm Grant are better managers than AW, it's clear that to a great extent lack of money/inability of buying a squad of ready made super stars > all of our other failings.
