Something else i dont understand as well, Wenger and the club always claim that if the right player becomes available we would sign him, we have a world class scouting network, academies and feeder teams all over the world and a manager who apparently knows something about every player there is.

We also get told that Wenger only likes certain players and that we wont buy a certain type of player under any circumstances, now i presume when we look at a player we judge them technically, physically and mentally as well as financially. If all that is the case how come we end up with players like Arshavin and Chamakh? Players of undoubted physical or technical ability but who have the mental application of a turnip? I watched Arshavin play in Russia and at the Euros and he was mindblowing, a bit of a cunt yes, but a great talent yet we barely see it. Chamakh was outstanding in France, a real danger yet here? Same goes for Reyes and Hleb and many others as well?

Also why do we end up with the Adebayor and Nasri types? Who are very good players but so easily swayed by their "advisors" they end up taking our money and running?
