I can understand that people say ‘you have money, just go out and buy’. But it’s not only that, we want to find the quality we need.

‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
if only there was a thread about that...
wont stop you trolling though ...

Shut up Arsene.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Unless he just stops giving press conferences people will always pick at what he says right now.
And if he did that I'm sure they'd pick him up for saying nothing.
He does come out with some crap sometimes but not sure he's really said anything of note here really.
Not wanting to improve the defence isnt anything of note?
Where did he say that? End of last season he was very clear that defence was a problem.
Whether he'll actually DO a anything about it this summer remains to be seen and I'm skeptical (it's not the first time he's cited it as a problem and failed to address it) but I wouldn't expect him to suddenly change our set up to be defensive nor would I want him to.
Yeah trouble is he says one thing then backtracks at a later date, I've noticed this over many years. He'll say one thing a a few weeks later everything is suddenly OK.
You just know he's not going to bother directly addressing the problem areas, his comments about the offensive game kinda insinuate that. He's always been more interested in attack than defence, thing is once upon a time he had quality at the back that could organise itself, in recent years he's bought cheap and never found any organisers/leaders.
I'm amazed you don't want him to change the setup though, you must be happy with giving away 4 goal leads and never looking safer even when 2-3 goals ahead.
You'll never win a thing without a decent defence.
