AW buying players at the end of the season will be his new excuse for failure, 'players need 6 months to 1 year' to adapt to the Premiership! Well, you sly cock, if you wouldve bought them earlier and had them integrate with our training, playing style and the culture, it wouldnt a problem, would it?! Like so many posters have said, its becoming a patern and everyone bar the rose tinted glass supporters (Optimism Clique) can see it.
‘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!
And on the other end of the spectrum, you've got those that will defend him no matter what.
Love him or hate him...I don't care, but the point is, if you've watched our transfer dealings over the past few seasons, you should at least be able to spot the trends and patterns by now. The noise coming from the manager should set off a few alarm bells. The fact that it's taken us a couple of months to sign a small time player from A small French club should be a worry as well. If we're having trouble with this sort of deal, then I'm not holding my breath over a big name signing.
Optimistic Clit members are too defensive and just ignore blatant issues and that's what's annoying. We're not 1 or 2 players away from being championship material.
Well, the same can be said for the othe side of the spectrum. It's a minority. People are only commenting on Wenger's one or two signing comments and it's raised eyebrows on here and other blogs I've read from Arseblog to Le Grove. The fact is, most Gooners who've been paying attention over the years get a horrible whiff of deja vu when Wenger starts talking like this.
