    I would say we have 5 worldies now (Cech, Kos, Cazorla, Ozil and Sanchez), with quite a few in that bracket below. We should on paper be good enough.

    In all seriousness, I think we can now forget about him going in 2017.....Wenger himself has said he has no plans to retire and Gazidis says he doesn't see any end in sight to his managerial reign.
    If we assume that he is with us as long as Ferguson was at United, than we could potentially looking at another ten years with him as boss.

    Over a longer period we spent less but with the stadium debts and our poor sponsorship deals, we were somewhat constrained in the transfer market.

    As for the question, I'm not sure. For two thirds of last season we matched Chelsea stride for stride, we stood up in some of the big games so there's the potential there. What we've never managed to do under Wenger, since the Invincible days, is to keep going for a whole season. I think we've finally got the squad to do that, and the mentality to too. My concern is a slight weakness up front, we haven't got an Aguero or a Suarez. It is harder to win the league than it was when Wenger joined, since we last won it the only people who have are the billionaire cheats and ManYoo under Fergie (I have no idea how he did that in his last season, was was definitely the GOAT, IMO).
    We won't win the league this season right now, with a real top striker we might although they don't grow on trees.

    We've got a chance. Mostly depends on players staying injury free and Ozil establishing himself as the best player in the league.

    We always have loads of injuries, I hope this changes but can't see it happening.

    If we can beat Chelsea in a game then we can win the league. I do think we need to beat Chelsea to really believe we can win the league.

    Chelsea won the league at a canter last year with one of the smallest squads in the league.
    They can do that because they doubled down on their fitness/medical staff and facilities. Turns out investing in your infrastructure is a smart move.

    Injuries are inevitable, but we could do more to mitigate the long lay-offs and endless complications.
    Fortunately it looks like this is also the sort of investment we are starting to make.

    The scouting should be next on the overhaul list by the sounds of it.

    He's already the best player in the league. Even the media has stopped shooting at his house and you know you have to be good to turn those fuckers around after you have signed for the wrong club. I suppose the Di Maria thing helped a bit. £20mill less than that useless fuck

    Sometimes joining the right club isn't what it's cracked out to be.

    To the OP, answer is No.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
