Problem is we can't really keep Bendtner or Denilson because they both have said they want to leave, like fab so really we'd have 3 players who only play half hearted if we kept them.Originally Posted by server too busy!
Things need to be done and done properly. No point in panicking now we have a month left to do business, lets hope we do it and are not just talking trash.
You'd hate for Gazids too look like a phoney
But are they the players that the club wants or are they players that you want?
We can still attract good players, but people cant be moaning just because Eto'o, Messi, Drogba, etc might not want to play for us
1 step at a time. We have to become a stronger, winning team before that will happen again. Were not there yet unfortunately.

from BBC:
Ok Wenger, cheeky bid time1300 GMT: AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has ruled out a move for Chelsea striker Didier Drogba over the summer. "We are covered in attack and hence, Drogba will not arrive," said Galliani. (Corriere dello Sport)
We're waiting for the big boys to finish there business so that the clubs currently holding out for bigger fee's can get back to reality. Problem is, pre-season is 2 weeks away, clubs actually don't really want or need to sell, especially with FFP coming next year (where they technically hold more power), and leaving it late only exacerbates the problem. Seen it every single season and for some reason the club thinks it'll be different this time
Its still June, its not late yet.
Reminds me off, It's still April... The seasons not over yet.
I'm not going to expect anything different until the clubs behaviour changes, until then spare me from the "be patient" remarks.
In other news...
http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/...fer-spend-2004Since sacking Claudio Ranieri in June 2004 to appointing Andre Villas-Boas in June 2011, Roman Abramovich has reportedly coughed up over £69m in various compensation pay-outs to managers and clubs (including the hiring of director of football Frank Arnesen). During the same time, London rivals Arsenal have kept faith with Arsene Wenger and made a profit of £20.56m on transfer fees.
It should also be pointed out that, during this period, Arsenal have won a single FA Cup, while Chelsea have won three Premier League titles, three FA Cups and two League Cups. Both clubs have also lost a Champions League final.

Moral superiority cup yay!
Sadly no, I'm realistic. But you do start to wonder when we hear, Arsenal could have signed Samba or Cahill or (insert name) but they didn't value the player as much as it would have cost.But are they the players that the club wants or are they players that you want?
We can still attract good players, but people cant be moaning just because Eto'o, Messi, Drogba, etc might not want to play for us

I reckon we could attract a lot more players if we pushed the wage structure out a bit for these special talents.
let them fight the draw of Wengerball and the ability to not defend corners will avail.20110622.
Kean to fight for Samba stay
....Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has insisted he is under no pressure to sell in-demand defender Christopher Samba.
going gaga about this bloke over here nd the funny thing is that he's only played at high school level here........saying that the best high school teams are better thn the J-League
