Surely you're not suggesting that he had no involvement in the early signings and is now delaying things?
It seems that you'll get on his case for delaying now but won't give him any credit for having got his main targets early. Not really a well balanced assessment is it.
I personally think that the couple he is looking at currently want some CL assurances before signing and yes, I do think we are trying to get them as cheap as possible. I believe any perceived delays, if they exist at all (assuming all the 'paper talk' about who we are chasing has a modicum of truth to it) are due to those issues.
Augie, I get it that you don't like Wenger any more, that's your perogative, but there comes a time when the continuous criticism actually weakens your argument. How long is it going to be before you blame him for the tube delays but credit transport for London when we win the CL?

You've hurt my itty,bitty feelings. Just for that I will accept your argument and come round to your way of thinking.
By the way if that 4 letter word was a question, then yes I do have one and the missus loves it,thanks for asking.
She'd only like it because she wouldn't need to take her tampon out to accommodate it
I'm not asking anyone to come round to my way of thinking. I'm just getting tired of the constant "Wenger's to blame for everything bad since the signing of the magna carta" bullshit.
I'm no AKB but some of what people put on here is total unfounded non-reasoned bollocks.
I assure you though I am definitely not an AKB.
What I do believe is that he does what he genuinly thinks is best for the club. I don't always agree with him though. I think he has made some real howlers and at times his tactics are non-existent. At times he infuriates me and I could easily put one on the end of his nose. That is in the heat of the moment though.

I could be wrong but I don't think anyone would question that he does what he thinks is right for the club. Anything else would be sabotage which would be completely insane.
But Wenger has more power at the club than any other manager at any other club that I can think of so I would assume most things that happen are because of him. I think what Augie is suggesting is that whilst Wenger may have been responsible for wanting the players we got early in the transfer window, the fact that he wasn't in the country when the finer details were being agreed may have actually simplified the process.
I have no idea if that is true, but I don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility. It was always said that when Dein was around he had to persuade Wenger to finalise deals and he was notoriously hesitant about committing to big signings so this theory would make sense. These things do tend to be over-hyped though and Wengers influence in capturing Ozil and Sanchez against similar sized clubs should also be remembered.

And that is the problem on here most of the time. People only remember what they want to.
I can remember plenty of fuck ups Wenger, Graham, Niell, Howe etc. have made, but I can also remember a lot of the good stuff. The doom and gloom merchants want spread the doom to all of us and the AKB's the same. I'm just wanting people to post a little more intelligently and take into account the good the bad and the DB10.
Here's my take on it all. Everyone has bought all the players they want, and have left the shop. Arsene is now the only customer who wants to buy any of the goodies that remain, and because the shopkeeper wants to sell his stock, he has to accept rock bottom prices. If Mr W sounded desperate, then the shopkeeper would think, "Ah, Monsieur W is tres desperate and I can hold out for top euro". But crafty Arsene is playing it cool, with remarks such as "Je ne need pas any more strikers", and "we can win trophies with the squad nous avons"....and so the likes of Falcao / Cavani / Cavalho will just drop into his lap come Monday night.

People will always use the evidence that supports their argument and be more dismissive of the remainder, that’s just a way of life.
I wish Wenger would be more hands off with the transfers (than he allegedly is), it sounds like he always wants to get involved in every stage. He should identify the targets and then step in if the player is undecided. He can/should even be involved in setting general wage structures at the club but it is not a good use of his time to be involved in the detail, particularly as he seems so opinionated about it and not in a good way.
It’s another example of him holding too much power in the club, Gazidis should be telling him what role he has to play and more importantly what part should be left to others.

I can't honestly be a***ed to argue with you,beyond saying,we are all very frustrated at the opportunity to really strengthen this team that's being wasted.
FYI rag week and the Beast with 2 backs should never mix. Ever.

When did we get him and what position does he play? Is he still at the club or is he yet another failed Wenger 'gamble'?
