There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Can't exactly blame him if he does sign for Napoli. Arsenal have dragged this on and on.

They will never compete for top players because they are to bothered about penny pinching.. Other top clubs just find a target and get it done. Not Arsenal though.
They were never even in for him, according to Real Mardid. Same old lies from the club.

They keep saying they have masses to spend though, more than say insist, that every summer Wenger has a massive budget that goes unspent.

Why would they say that if it wasn't true?

Because if they put it about that they're skint they'll get offered next to nowt for their players.
Just Wenger mind tricks. These are not the Walcotts you're looking for.

There are two billionaires fighting over control of the club; they aren't skint. They've clung to this 'business savvy' bullshit for years whilst saying they're paying for the ground. Now they say it's paid for, there aren't any excuses. I'll be astonished if they don't spend big this summer. I won't be astonished if they spunk it away on shit. Suarez would be massive for them. Not that I think it'll happen. There's an in-built conservatism now that means they'll probably buy 7 or 8 £10m players rather than the two or three big ones they need.

Said it before and I'll say it again. If Wenger spends big and doesn't deliver. He becomes accountable. He won't put himself in that position. He's happy to hide behind the 'nice football for a relative pittance' tag whilst other clubs in their 'league' lift the trophies

I don't disagree that he enjoys hiding, but I don't see how he can carry on doing. The fans are f*cked off with it, and the board are no longer saying we're paying off the stadium, but that there's cash to spend. I can't see how he can justify not doing anymore.

It's tough ;)

We've just got rid of many of the dead wood players of that description wengers bought over the past few seasons in the last few weeks actually. Ie - Good - but not good enough. Farewell Santos, Djourou, Mannoune, Squillaci, Arshavin, Coquelin, Denilson etc etc... Just need to bin off bendtner, chamakh and Park now and buy a couple of proper super stars in their places. I'm not holding my breath...

Today's Sun that a browsed in the campsite shop says that Real Madrid are offering Liverpool several million pounds (20?) PLUS Higuain in return for Suarez...

Not long ago you positively bristled and scoffed at me saying that I should know full well that Higuain was pretty much done and dusted...

If not Higuain or Suarez or Rooney - who are these big signings? You don't mean sniffing after Fibreglass again do you? He was very much a big cog in the long lean years...
