There is also the possibility he is a paid agent of the club. An agent provocateur to plant b.s.. it's the kind of worthwhile investment that Arsenal fc would deem good business. How many £s per week are you on Ollie. I could deputise for you if you made me an offer.

hey Ollie, can I please ask you a question...
If (hypothetical situation) we don't sign anyone of note this summer, but the club releases a statement implying that we will be active in the market during the January window, will you defend the board / Wenger until January?
Genuine question....
That is unfair mate.Originally Posted by fakeyank
If he was Wenger's son or daughter, he would have fucked off to supporting a Manchester club - or possibly Barcelona by now.
Maybe we will sign that Dung bloke from Vietnam
The thing is, we all moan, but there will still be 60,000 Mugs paying an average of £50 to get in!? I stopped my Red Membership three years ago because of this nonsense. I refuse to line the boards pockets!!
The only way to make a point is to stay away fom the Emirates.
I gave up my season ticket this year, not just because of the way the club is run although the level of football we're seeing is a factor. We're paying double what we were 10 years ago for a far inferior product. Thing is though, I'm sure someone will snap up my seats, the ground wasn't choc full last season but it was never half empty either. Until people leave en masse there's no reason the board will change policy.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
My red membership renewed automatically, bit annoyed about it as I would have thought they needed my consent for this. But I'm too lazy to do anything about it, and will probably end up going to 1 or 2 games anyway. But I would'nt even consider paying for a season ticket, crazy money.
As for AW's comments, it does appear to be just same old same old. We may well bring in a half decent player, but it will be right at the end of the window.. and it probably won't be enough. Damn this club is infuriating. They must realise this summer is a real watershed moment, as even the real die-hards will start turning if we don't significantly strengthen.
In 5 years time it'll just be NBN going to games.
Slightly weird take on this I know, but I think there's something in what he's saying "not enough players about".
I don't believe a word that comes out of that man's mouth for one second, and if you haven't learned to just ignore all of this by now then more fool you. That goes for all of them. Ivan, Wenget, Fox.....they're all serial bullshitters. They have a duty to the media and to the shareholders to be open. But you're mugs if you think they're gonna tell you what's "really" going on.
That said. From what I can see, the market is hyper-inflated, and there really aren't that many players about. I'm talking players of the calibre we sold (RVP, Cesc etc). There aren't, because they're already on more money than we can pay them at other super-rich clubs.
The concern for me, is that we are still basing our value of a player, on our own valuation. Moreover, Arsene Wenger's valuation. Which I'm afraid to say is out of sync with the rest of football. Whilst he's out of sync, I still believe he doesn't like spending money. I think it's a moral which id ingrained in him. Couple that with all of his infatuation with polishing turds, it's a cycle he's just never going to come out of.
It was always said that Wenger needed Dien to nudge him (more manhandle I'm sure) into buying the player he wanted. But with the ****s that run this club, happy to hold onto the cash, and with no desire to see the club do anything other than what it is currently doing (making money), there is nobody to kick the manager up the arse.
There was a lot of discussion yesterday about the top four trophy. I'll say it before, and I'll say it again. He's one of only a few managers who could have managed that feat year on year, not spending money. He's a fucking genius. And if he's only spend some money, he would push us into title winning form again I'm sure. He's a briliant football manager.
We have been handicapped, no doubt, but I'm now firmly of the belief that there has always been more money there, and that it is AW's choice not to use it.
He needs to go if he doesn't spend this summer. I feel sorry for him though. I understand his principles. I adore hime for all he has given, and I don't doubt for one second his loyalty, affection and desire to win.
But then again, these ****s that own the club can choose the next laccy.
What a fucking mess.
