Guest kingdawson Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If Arsenal were to sack Wenger, does anybody think whoever they brought in would do any better with their budget? I'd argue no. but they do have a decent amount of cash to spend. It's Wenger that decides not to spend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue no. but they do have a decent amount of cash to spend. It's Wenger that decides not to spend it. I don't think they do tbh. Not the kind of money to go out and buy a top class goalkeeper or defender. Heck they were priced out of a move for Jagielka ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 The Rooney thing seems to be a bit of a grey area. Obviously the ref saw that there was a foul, but I don't think he saw it properly, because he obviously missed the force and intent of the elbow throw. Can they still punish him? Probably. Will they? Probably not, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger has said himself he has the funds to buy the players he wants but he has faith in his team. Hell even the board put out a statement a few months back stating they're willing to back Wenger in any signing he wants to bring in. It's no one but Wenger's fault why they haven't got a decent cb OR gk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wenger is just the most important cog in the whole Arsenal machine, and they have a clear philosophy about building success sustainably and creating great players rather than buying them. There's an excellent interview with the chief exec, Ivan Gazidis on the BBC website right now. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/9408793.stm Don't know how anyone can argue with or criticise that. So they happen not to have won a trophy in a while, they're building a sustainable top football club for a generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking him out and putting in a Mourinho/Ancelotti/insert top class manager in his place and the whole thing falls like a pack of cards. He's naive in the transfer market but he's the best they can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Today was karma to Wenger and his foreign kid policy. If he'd produced a good English striker rather than going for the likes of Merida, Vela and Bendtner over the last however many years, then little Michael Owen mightn't have been in the England starting XI in the 2006 World Cup meaning he'd not have picked up the injury which forced Roeder to go out and spend £10m on Martins which resulted in the career path taken by Oba, culmanating in Arsenal having won nowt since that fateful day. Serves you right Arsene, serves you right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
