Spend some fucking money!

i think you need to get out of the mindset of its only a good signing if we spend 30 million on him. judge a player by what he is, not his price tag. cazorla was only 12 million yet he was one of the best players in hte league. so if wenger went out and signed another 3 cazorlas at 12 million each, id be delighted.

however the issue is not spending big, its the haggling over small amounts. dont look at the price tag, look at the player. price tags lie, ie torres

You're not going to find a top striker at bargain basement prices, strikers if anything are the most expensive of players due to their value to the team in terms of goals.

We only got Cazorla cut price due to Malaga's money trouble's anyhow.

im not saying sign players at bargin prices. what im saying is stop thinking he cant be a world class player unless he costs 30 million

with van persie, we competed for the top four, nothing else. so how is just replacing him with like for like going to make us win stuff with a squad that hasnt improved or competed past february before he left?

So selling him and buying two inferior squad players makes sense? I've already said that the main difference this year was our defence and being able to hold on to a lead for once. That's down to Wenger and Bould tinkering making sure we are more organised.

What's happened to your argument about not having the money? So it's not financial issue now and more to do with what we needed as squad?

Absolutely. The squad needed quality all over, blowing your load on one player would have been dumb as shit.

I really cant see Man U selling to Chelsea to be honest. I think with Mour****face back in the hot seat Man U will see Chelsea as their biggest rivals. Regardless of what people say on here I would love to see Rooney in an Arsenal shirt - he is a world class player and I think if he were to move to a team where he is the main man and focal point of the team he would be dynamite. He would definitely get this at Arsenal and I am not sure where else he would get this so essentially it would be a good move for both parties. I think Man U would also be more willing to sell to Arsenal too after RVP. It will never happen as despite what Ivan has said I can not imagine us paying his wages

You guys are on one. Don't talk as if this was a long term plan because if it was we wouldn't have frozen out Chamakh, Santos, Gervinho and Park so quickly. One season and they're out.
