The problem is with ur stubborn attitude.Thing is you think you can win the premiership on the cheap, but you cant cause you can't motivate the players ffs.Leicester winning the premiership will give you one more reason to say see i told you we don't need to

spending any
money on outfield player in the
summer.
my problem with AW is that for years he resisted to buy good players because of a million or two difference from asking price today's market those players are worth triple, we could of had a great team with possibly wining the EPL twice and possibly semis or final of CL, if he had just
spent the
money in the bank, Chelsea are in dept around 850 Million pounds (possible the bulk to Abromovich) and same for Man - United and few more, we are the only club that is cash rich with funds available around hidden 350 million and more accumulating every season, how i know this because i look at their end of year accounts outgoings and income there is around 100 to 120 million less outgoings then income, we can easily
spend 700 Million in the
summer and we will be well in with FFP rules and only have 350m to pay in two years which we can with
bigger and higher sponsorship coming any day now

If the team lacks something, they will go all out and
spend neccessary
big money on filling the voids, Wenger just doesn't do that and never will, every season after a transfer window we say, «Oh if only we brought this player in that position or that player in this position, oh well maybe Wenger will do it next
summer» but Wenger just always leaves a weakness that just never gets filled, he could have got Khedira, made a bid for Vidal or Carvalho, but no... Instead he puts his faith in a 32 - 33 year old slow Spaniard who only knows how to pass and nothing else and a 30 year old Frenchman named Flamini who only knows how to foul.
