    We dont need players. We have enough of those. We need quality players and that we have hardly any of and that unfortunately costs money.

    Keep buying midtable players for cheap and we eventually become a mid table side.
    Okay, who and when was the last top level player that Man U bought?
    Smalling
    Lindegaard
    Bebe
    Hernandez
    Obertan
    Diouf

    Valencia
    Owen
    While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.

    Man United already have the quality in there squad, look at their trophy cabinet. They by in large don't need Hollywood buys because they already have top quality players in there squad.

    We have much more of a pressing need to spend on Qulaity than them, that much is obvious.

    No idea nor do i really care cos i dont support them.

    Point is though, they have splashed out big for players ie Rooney, Rio, Berbatov etc and then filled in the gaps around them with the other not as good players but all have a tremendous work rate.

    The spine of their team cost big money. The rest, not so much.

    Thats what i want for Arsenal. Have a quality spine (GK, CB, CM and CF) and then fill in the 7 other places with as many french/african nobodies as he wants. Decent ones obviously.

    The fact we already have a world class Cesc and RVP means half the job is done already. Make sure Cescs head is at Arsenal and not Barca and hopefully RVPs injuries are behind him.

    All Wenger needs to do now is to spend big on a qualty CB and get a keeper. A world class one. If Bendtner goes then another striker is needed.

    ‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’

    The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!

    7 months of pent up frustrations does that.

    Is it pent or vent?
