I fail to believe any manager is going to come in and just say 'ah ok this is the squad I have and it won't change'. Deadwood isn't just going to 'fuck off', it needs the manager to tell them they are no longer required. Why are you even mentioning Goetze or Hazard? I'd love us to sign one of those two players of course but that's something you should do once you have the basics sorted - Wenger isn't even coming close to doing that at the moment. We didn't get 4-4 at the Barcodes because of not signing Goetze or Hazard, we didn't lose to Birmingham in the Carling Cup final because of not signing Goetze or Hazard, we didn't lose 8-2...because of not getting Goetze or Hazard. We're not seventh because of not signing Goetze or Hazard.
