All indications are of yet another piss poor summer by the Arsenal.

Not a chance in hell AFC acquire 3 top quality ballers by the end of the window.

Told you bro.
To be honest, betrayal or no betrayal, that was why I was never peeved with RVP. I knew if faced with spending resources to make a real push for a championship, this board will not hesitate to forgo the chance and implement the Kroenke plan.
Kroenke has no passion for a title. When an owner does not care about titles and sees the team purely from an investment viewpoint, the fan base is in trouble.

Well said.

In any field ambition starts from the top on down.

Felt it was all over when AW said "if we find a special player, we will do it". When Wenger says that, it means the end of our transfer activity for that summer, unless we find someone on loan who must be special because he can kick a football and won't cost money.

The day Dein and Fiszmen had their falling out was the beginning of the end of Arsenal being a club with genuine aspirations of winning trophies.

What makes me sick is the out right propaganda AFC continue to unleash year after year. When you have everyone at the club state time and again , "We have learned the lessons of last summer", that "Everything that has transpired this summer they have planned for"...taking the piss to say the least.

i must confess that i am in love with this thread. just so full of emotions. while the waffi camp on the one hand thinks anyone against wengerism is a traitor and a moron, the other camp, vehemently being led by mke are all out for the trophy. CIVIL WAR kind of situation. and the way coach punctuates it all with '8 years into the 5 year plan' thingy is so epic. always on point!
if trophylessness is what will always deliver this kind of entertainment every season, may it continue for a looong time.

divide and conquer!

It's deflating.

For quite some time one could genuinely state money was tight but today Arsenal are flush with cash. Queensland road cash, player sales, +New PL and CL TV deals...Arsenal are swimming in cash.

New merchandise deals is only a few seasons away, by end of Friday with sales of likes of Bendtner Arsenal could retain a summer surplus of 10-15 MP. a fookin surplus with the squad in it's current state..... JOKE!!!!!!!!!

And that guy was telling me to STFU! Lemme catch him "whine". Better realise they are using us to do scotched egg

When I was calling this thing from the jump, yall thought I was being funny or mean. Ambition starts from the very top and percolates down from the owner to the board to the manager all the way down to the water boy. If those at the top are not willing to do anything necessary to win, the players on the field will not win. Waffi can come here and tell us about players failing and not winning a trophy, but the problem is not on the field. It is the boardroom. Arsenal as a total entity has lost focus. Investing in Emirates stadium might end up being the wrong choice. A stadium as a symbol of "we have arrived" is a good decision if you have the money. It brings pride, etc. But as a business decision, it is very questionable. Yes we have a shiny new stadium but going forward, we still will not be able to compete. In the future, gate receipts will command an ever decreasing share of total revenues. Building your brand worldwide and your global footprint, not the size of your stadium, is the way to go. Nothing builds your brand better than champions league, winning and star players, two of which are antithetical to the current Arsenal. I weep for the nearsightedness of these bumbling idiots. They are well on their way to being left behind.

I have been saying this for years. As a brand, Arsenal is now Aldi's...cheap and efficient as well as profitable but lord knows everybody'd rather shop at Publix.

Millions (£) spent in the last 9 years - Chelsea £693m. Man City £572m. Liverpool £414m. Man United £352m. Spurs £350m Arsenal £214m. (BBC)

It's remarkable that we've been more consistent than those teams over that time period. However the Arsenal must understand at that point that people don't care about 3rd or 4th place finishes combined with UCL q/finals + 2nd round outings...sports is very ephemeral and people want instant gratification. The fans are not pocketing the money and as long as the club isn't going bankrupt then nobody cares... Those clubs have trophies to show for the money spent and that's the baseline in sports, it's not accounting trophies, it's real hardware folks want.
Arsenal has done a good job in terms of consistency but the club can almost not afford to prosecute cups with youth players anymore...Arsenal needs to win to assuage its fans.

And that guy was telling me to STFU! Lemme catch him "whine". Better realise they are using us to do scotched egg

"That Guy" doesn't know anything.....he's just an annoying lap dog, that's why I refuse to converse in any dialogue with him

I wonder who the guy is. Anyways whoever he is I am sure he is right when he said you guys are whiners...One would think before you knuckleheads start to trip without your luggage you will at least wait till the end of the window. That is what I will do so that i don't look foolish if something should happen before the close of the transfer window...

If something gets done, I will GLADLY eat humble pie and PROUDLY look stupid. Until then its all ifs and shoulds. So for now I will "whine" all I want! I won't be taking for no mug anynmore

This is the kind of thing that vexes me about some of you...just exactly what you have done here...
Why is it so bloody hard to be objective???? I understand that you're an emotional wreck and wish to slay the club, that's fine, do so. But be a man about it and be objective, be truthful, be honest, don't just pi$$ in the wind because you want to throw a tantrum.

What does him being a key player at Everton and now at Arsenal have to do with Arsenal being at Everton's level?? Kompany was a key player at Anderlecht, Hamburg and now City, does that mean City is at Hamburg's level? Tevez has been key everywhere, does that mean the clubs are all same level??
We got the guy who was Everton's best player and his quality in his position is helping us. He IS a good player, who is universally accepted has been unlucky to be in the era of Spanish gods...
What's wrong with him being a key player for us? You want Zidane? Let me know when you get him.
Be honest and open minded abeg, it makes these discussions much more palatable for all.

So Bendtner is in discussions with Milan, now Chamakh is also talking to Fiorentina...
