    thats not true.

    The club was always looking for a CB because Chambers was supposed to go on loan and they wanted to get a Per replacement this season. Thats where the Koulibaly stories came from in June (sign him over Mustafi, ffs). We were linked with a lot of centerbacks in May and June like Manolas from Roma.

    I think NQ put forward a very very good case to show that he is incompetent, and for that I have shown my appreciation.

    Do I personally believe he is incompetent? I dont think so. This man has an MBA and brought 'new' methods to the English Premier League. He fought toe to toe against SAF, and actually had a better head to head record till a decade ago. I just dont believe he went senile all of a sudden. Greed of the money outgrew his passion for football. Sure he is stubborn, but he is also the devils advocate.. and I think being a devil's advocate is worse than being the devil.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    From my understanding Holding was always the intended centre back to bring in to allow Chambers to go on loan

    Yeah, but we needed someone to partner Kos since there was no faith in Per any more and Gabriel was a dumpster fire.

    I think the club was always looking for a CB but it got desperate once Per got injured.

    Three 'good posts' and a 'loveblush' for a post you disagree with? Wow...
    I don't agree with you but I do now understand your attitude towards Wenger if you think he's in collusion with the board (I don't think he is, and I think they deserve more of the scorn than they get)
    I don't think he's gone senile either, I just think he's slowly taken over areas of responsibility which shouldn't be his job and he isn't very good at, like transfer negotiations. Also, the game has moved on and he hasn't moved with it. If he thinks that the whole transfer market is crazy then he's right, obviously, but so are house prices in London but that doesn't mean you make yourself homeless as a protest against it.
    I've been losing interest in football for years and The Olympics were another timely reminder of what sport should be about.

    Yeah, giving judges who robbed you the finger, vandalising a gas station and falsely reporting you were robbed at gunpoint is what it's all about.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    They do but they shouldn't. And most of the preening prima-donnas don't play but I don't really follow it at The Olympics.

    We needed a centre back, isn't the same as Wenger thinking he needed a centre back is what I'm saying
