Magic Merse, Donaldo and the others are right - anyone can see that Spurs and just about every other team in the top half of the Premiership have outspent us and will continue to do so; and you are absolutely right about the loan being long-term , which means that the club can afford to take short ...

Has anyone else seen Arsene Wenger's comments today when talking about the Hleb/Flamini situation? Regarding Flamini, Wenger said that they offered Flamini the highest amount they could within the wage structure, but it was not enough. Next, Wenger denied that Hleb was leaving, saying that there was ...

Exactly, silverware shows you are winners, nothing else. If there is going to be a mass exodus, then I think we can forget silverware next season as well.

Maybe if half the squad leaves the Board will finally get the message and start spending. What is their problem? Do they really imagine that ...

Hi all, I think you've hit the nail on the head. No matter how determined Arsene Wenger is, if Hleb wants to follow Flamini's example, he'll go too. I just wonder how many Arsenal players will be left by the beginning of next season. I'm so sick of this parade of players leaving at the end of every ...

Yes, Green Gooner, I'm afraid you may be a little too optimistic. We certainly need to strengthen the squad, but not just by the odd player. We need cover in every area of the pitch in my opinion. Just look at the bench Chelsea has in every match - and Man United as well. Both clubs have strength in ...

It looks like Flamini will go and money is very likely part of it. The worrying thing is that, if we can't keep am important player like Flamini because of wage demands, then how we expect to attract top quality replacements? If Gilberto and Hlebb go as well as some people are suggesting, then we ...

Yes, Arsenal are still paying for the Emirates Stadium - but if we keep going season after season without a trophy might that not affect attendances and therefore delay the time when the loans are repaid? In the meantime Man Utd and Chelsea keep strengthening their squads and the distance between us ...

I think it's a combination of the Boro and Birmingham games and the fact that we just can't hold on to a lead that did for our season. We were leading at Old Trafford and we were leading at Stamford Bridge. If we had held on to those leads, we would be top now and almost home and dry - but yes, a ...

I think Avram Grant is a first rate manager. He may not have Jose Mourinho's volatile and charismatic character, but in his quiet way he has brought consistency to Chelsea and made them extremely hard to beat. I think it's only fair to say that Jose laid the foundations of the team Avram Grant ...

Yes, I agree Magic Hat, many of the players who left haven't done as well as they did at Arsenal - but that's not the point. Sure, they would have done better to stay, but they didn't - and that's the point. They followed the money and even if they haven't won many more medals, they are a lot richer ...

Selling Cesc Fabregas would be a total disaster, but that I fear is not the problem: keeping him at Arsenal is. If we don't win something next season Fabregas might well go of his own accord and if Barcelona make the right offer, it would be a hell of a temptation for him. Keeping players has been ...

Yes, I do agree that Arsene Wenger has done wonders with far less money than Man Utd, Chelsea or even Liverpool have had at their disposal and he has a superb eye for young talent. Also, of course, there is a strict wage structure at Arsenal, which is in my opinion, a good thing. However, all this ...

I know that this will be controversial - and I hate to criticise Arsene Wenger after all he has done for the club - but am I alone in thinking that he has made too many mistakes this season with regard to team selection, as well as a failure to strengthen the squad at all? His failure to field the ...
