djvandyke Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I just can't understand the business sense in keeping the likes of Marouane Chamakh, Andrey Arshavin and Sebastien Squillaci on the wage bill for another season. How can we possibly justify continuing to pay their 50k+ wages whilst fail to renew Walcott’s contact over a petty 25k? Was it really impossible to offload the other overpaid flops that are now out on loan? We needed to cut our losses and let all this human waste go for nominal fees to free up finances for new blood. Wenger's mismanagement has got us into this ridiculous situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yeah, that kind of stuff is really weird. I can't believe Arshavin is there, didn't he leave (or you just mean 'in general'?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djvandyke Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Arshavin is still at Arsenal as far as I know but the point is a general one. Wenger simply does not do his best to improve the squad, is weak, too loyal, tolerates mediocrity and rewards failure. The defeatist attitude of his players is also a reflection of his own losing spirit. How can a man who makes annual claims that losing is winning bring success?

Bicycle Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Cazorla must be upset, especially after urging Wenger to spend some money. But I guess Wenger couldn't identify those top, top, top quality players that he's so keen on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopie54 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 well I doubt we will sign anyone, as it doesnt appear that there are any "top,top,top players" available. im sure by now sky sports news would have reported that some was seen going for a medical or something, and I cant see a deal being done this late by wenger now. gutted!! even swansea know to replace players within hours of selling one of their best players.

H.O.V.I Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 But we always seem to have money, but we never seem to spend it. Because they don't want to spend it, they have convinced themselves that coming 4th is achieving something and everything will be fine as long as that champions league money is coming in and they can still charge the highest prices in the league and get away with it even though the days of us playing the best football in the league are gone. It won't be until we are out of the champions league that things might change but when that happens it will be even harder to get back and fight for a title.

We're still very reliant on one player, but our squad is horribly unbalanced and our midfield is weaker. Chamberlain simply has to start in midfield ahead of Diaby.
