Mesol/Barry – Bore off, same old crap different day,I’ve said it before on here if you shout your gob off saying Wenger must go put your cock on the block and suggest a better manager.

Oh and ARSENAL 2 – Wops 1, champions league here we come.

Nice blog Keiron and you managed not to insult any other prem league managers – most disappointing.

Anyway, what is done is done. It’s been a disappointment as it certainly not what i was expecting at the start of summer. But hey, here we are. We still have a good manager, hopefully he still has all his marbles, we have a great fan base, plenty of money, and great foundations for us to build a long lasting future. There is still one week left in the transfer window as well so perhaps at least 1 player will come in.

It’l certainly give more opportunities to the likes of lansbury, conner henderson (when he’s back from injury), joel campbell, miquel, etc. Even with what we have left, although i think the title is out of our reach, we should be able to put in a strong fight for the top 4. Who knows, maybe we’ll pick up a cup. It’s all about the fight for that top4 this year though. it’s gonna be one hell of a scrap, but if we can do it, we’l be in great shape for future seasons. Yeah, i’m feeling good again.

I said it 3 weeks ago, Cesc wouldn’t be sold until the day before Udinese 1st leg, Nasri wouldn’t be sold until day before 2nd leg. Is it a coincidence? No. To get the best deals possible to get as much £ for new players. Would you like to know why Wenger has stalled on more big names? Because the board won’t sanction fees/wages for new players until we get £25 mill from CL qualification. Only then can we maximise the fees/wages. No Champions League guarantee, no new major signings. If we get through tonight, signing Samba or Cahill, Y’Vila, Marvin Martin, Hazard by the end of the transfer window will be certain as the deals will no longer be on hold because we’ll be able to use the £25 mill qualification revenue on top of £60 mill (Cesc, Nasri) to maximise the transfer fees & wages to meet the other club’s asking fee and the player’s wage demands. Tonight may just be the most important Italian Job in the club’s history. So for now for we can say is, COME ON YOU GOONERS!!!

@ barry:
I know something is happening in the background that we are not being told. I know Wenger is not a fool, i suspect this board of ours are behind our current crisis and it wouldn’t get any better even if we get a new coach.
I am sure this wage cap thing is affecting us in the transfer market.
That is why we lost Nasir, that is why no top player will come to our club, when you hear pple like etoo earning 60pounds/sec. why will you want to come to arsenal as a top player and earn less than 150k when taxes will take half of it ?
The first step to attracting any top player is qualifying for the group stages of the champions league today.
secondly, announce the lifting of that crazy wage cap.

On Daily Star…

“Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told skipper Robin van Persie he doesn’t need to buy.

The Daily Star says the manager revealed in a meeting with the Dutch striker yesterday that he may not be ready to make any major plunge in the transfer market, despite the team’s poor start to the season.

Sources in Holland say van Persie – made club captain following the £35m sale of Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona – was left stunned by Wenger’s attitude.

Van Persie is understood to have asked to see Wenger yesterday in the wake of the 2-0 home defeat by Liverpool, which left the Gunners with just a point and no goals from their first two league games.”

Good decision Wenger. Of course, you build the team for future!. Lets buy, young player or why not school player. Its good for many many years to come. Arsenal are champ in 2040 or in another century!
