Our three best players leaving would totally fuck the club (no-one of similar class would join) which would ultimately result in Wenger getting the push
Firmly believe we need a few years of pain in order to get our club back so I'd welcome an exodus of our cream
In all seriousness I am to the point where I honestly think the ONLY Way things are going to change at Arsenal is if there is a fuckin' HUGE catastrophe....like RVP, Jack and Ramsey all put in transfer requests etc -we finish mid-table (if that)....Fans just stop attending home games...coz
As for wilshere,RVP etc surely like us they MUST be thinking what the feck is this fool wenger playing at...he is like one of them kamikazi pilots - he's done all his flying hours in dog fights got imself a rep for being clever and astute (The Prof) and now okay lets Crash and Burn !!!
The thing is as long as he manages (somehow) to keep us in the CL the board keep backing him...
Well no need to worry about the CL after this season, we'll have no interest in it from then on until The muppet in charge fucks off to PSG after royally shafting Arsenal. The board members will be oh so shocked at the dire state we are left in, and will wonder where it all went wrong whereas the majority of fans will know exactly what went wrong!
It could be that we have agreed deals to sell certain players - but haven't announced them for fear of escalating prices of their replacements ?
It could be that we have agreed deals to bring in quality players - but haven't announced them for some unknown reason. This would surely settle fans and players fears to some degree. ?
It could be that we are doing sweet fanny adams as usual while our rivals get their shopping done nice and early to get home in time to put their feet up, while we struggle through the crowds searching for bargains and the left overs that no-one else deems worthy.
Using our history in the transfer market to guide you, which one would you put your money on ??

I know stu I know....
Thing is Wenger is infamous for telling 'probable' signings not to say a word to anyone - He did it with greedywhore and I'll never forget the surprise of seeing him with Sol Campbell...and the day he got off the plane with Antonio reyes at his side....
I think this is why it gets so frustrating and exhausting...wI still keep that tiny grain of hope that he just might do something Significant......mind you I ain't holding my breath...and I'm getting my light sabre colour changed from blueygreen to a red one...Dark Side Here I Come

I am completing my presentation of facts that call what you suggest into very real question. But still you have yet to present one independently varifiable fact to suggest that more money will spent going forward under a new manager. And remember this Stan Kroenke has sat on the Arsenal Board since 2008, so you can't say with anycertainty he is any more eager to spend more money than the rest of them were or are since they are still there too.
You speak with such certainty of what you say that you must have some proof yet you present none at all. I presented mine - albeit not in one presentation - many times over. Present yours, because if you're actually right I will back you. But I don't think you or several othershave any real proof other than a desire to believe what you want.
Martin, wenger is a senile old *word censored* who thinks that diaby, almunia,bendtner,denilson,eboue,song etc are good enough to not alone play for The Arsenal but are also deserving of fat pay rises as well - dispute that if you can
So it seems that the Cahill deal has stalled because he values him at 13m and won't pay over that, how can any of us be upset by Barcelona taking the piss with their bids when we do exactly the same?
What makes it worse is that Chelsea are being tipped to sign him, again, hes dithered that much in deciding who was his target that another club will sign him and leave him complaining about financial doping.
The *word censored* needs a rocket up his arse, his reactionary methods in the market is as flawed his vanity project when you consider we can't pay silly wages, why must he take forever to seal the deal?

Agreed 100% with the first two points, especially the Barca one, as we do exactly the same thing in almost every transfer that we do.
The 'silly wages' though I'm not so sure about, as we do pay silly wages, just not at the top end, but more at the bottom end.
All our mediocre players have wages that are ( in my opinion ) far too high, and this policy has made the less good players feel safe in the comfort zone that we have made for them, while our best players have no incentive to go that bit extra for us, because of our top-end wage structure.
As someone pointed out, to call Wenger shrewd is laughable, he's crippled the club and saddled the club with debt in the sense that we are stuck with so many players that bring nothing to the table, we may aswell have half the squad but with more players on big wages with us in more debt.
Even if a new boss comes in and gets the same money as Wenger, it is as much how Wenger has spent his budget that worries rather than the size of that budget.

Easy - its completely inconsistent with 1998-2005, and even if it were true why would any responsible employer risk tens or even hundreds of millions of pounds simply out of respect to Arsene Wenger?
No its no coicidence that the moment he embraced these players we focused on Arsenal on non-footballing projects designed to create more profitable non-footballing revenue streams If you believe that its anything less than connected say a coincidence my guess is you still can't figure out where all Saddam Huessein's WMD's went right after we invaded Iraq
