Seeing how quality players are moving in this transfer window am a very sad sad sad man.The other big clubs have confirmed they will spend big but
for Wenger he said we have enough depth in the squad but if special player is available we can buy, now special players are not available without a bid.We have only one Arsene but we cant win major trophies with wenger he used to win them when it was a two horse race, only utd were a threat but now he cant repeat the invincible era or win epl 10 yrs can evidence there is competition and we are not in it.Clubs like chelsea are in
debts cuz of buying wc players to win trophies, We put club into
debt b4 to build
stadium so he can generate more revenue
for club owners and share holders

stadium debt is comfortable, l as long as wenger get the players we need (big benz).
We had
stadium debt... Prior to Arshavin deal, Wenger wanted Nasri, Nasri signed a new contract to help his old club get more in a transfer

stadium debt could be used only
for so long.The fact is arsenal cant match the financial strength of big clubs.One good signing every year just doesn't cut it as rest of the teams are buying 3 or 4 players that too top top player which he describes so often.Just do nt raise peoples expectations and not deliver at the end.I do beleive he is arrogant in the fact that he won't buy a cdm in mould of Vieira or toure bcoz he wants to prove that he can win it with smaller creative playes.Coquelin is good but no big club depends on a single player to carry them, there needs to be a backup always.
