What is the matter with this club? Whilst our opposition have started strengthening and with the promise from our CEO that this would be the busiest summer the club has had in the last few seasons with people heading in and out, all we have to show so far is a 19 year old from Charlton.
We should at least have one big signing by now as we have now in July and pre-season training has begun as the team prepare for the tour to the Far East. Hopefully something will happen before then as it’s better that a new signing starts pre-season with the squad rather than join halfway through.
The Board and Wenger need to get their skates on and get the chequebook out, give Nasri his £110k a week, he deserves it, as if Cesc goes, he’s our creative hub in the team. Diaby is on about £50-60k a week, does he deserve that??? Cesc looks like he’s off and good luck to him, we get £30-40 million for him and he'll be warming their bench. Also I would want somebody like Seydou Keita or Eric Abidal, not a "one for the future" youngster, we’ve got enough young players to get us into the next millennium.
If Barca want Cesc that badly, they will get him, but on our terms. It’s at times like these when you wish David Dein was still at the club helping out with the transfers as since he left we haven’t been able to attract that many quality players or negotiate better terms with current ones.
Wenger says he’s ready to change his philosophy a little bit but we’ve seen the same old sh*t so far. Does he really have an idea who to replace? Or is he going to wait and see who wants to be the first to leave like he usually does? The bottom line is that there are players in the current squad who are simply not good enough to wear the sacred shirt, physically, tactically and mentally.
Wenger needs to stop this childish stubbornness before the fans start to vote with their feet. If he had any sense then he would have seen by the end of season protests that something needed to be done quickly to appease the fans and what do the club do? Raise ticket prices and our chairman brands the fans "stupid". He should look in the mirror and he should have resigned the silly old fool.
It’s clear that it’s profits not prizes that the club wants and this has to stop otherwise we will be lucky to make the Europa League at best. And we don’t want to be in the same category as the Spuds or Fulham.
