I dont think R AND W will get control of Arsenal now. Something has gone on behind the scenes that could well explain the lack of spending in the transfer market.
I think the board are finally realising that they need further investment.
Dien has f*cked off!
God did i write that? thats horrendous grammar and ive got a degree in englishQuartzGooner wrote:cobra kai wrote: id like to know if he still thinks we desperately need investment because if the news is to be believed Wenger doesnt think we do whereas dein thinks we do...i dont think he'll come back tho, i cant see the board allowing it.

i think the only investment we need should be spent on wages. i think if wed had the money hleb and flamini would have stayed. i think players WANT to play for Arsenal but thn they see the wages and think im better off elsewhere. and loyalty is hard to find in football these days. im amazed weve kept players like clichy,vpersie,sagna,fabregas when they cud get a lot more at other clubs and not just in england in europe.

That's a fair point Cobra, but when will players learn that it's not all about money, as long as the best players at the club are rewarded with the highest wages at the club then that should be enough, and altho Arsenal as a club are not the top payers we are nowhere near the worst with a wage bill reportedly similar to ManUre's, so if players wanna fuck off for contracts that'll have them retiring worth 45M instead of the measly 35M if they stayed with us then let them, but of this there is no doubt that while they can certainly earn that extra 20 - 25% they will never find the same quality of life that a player enjoys at Arsenal, I mean of all the great players we've had at the club every one of them speaks genuinely about their fondness for their time at THOF especially under AW, and who can forget Paddy goin to pieces on his return with Juve and 100% deliberately gettin booked to avoid the return fixture, same with that thread last nite on Manu Petit, sez he couldn't wait to get out of Camp Nou from the moment he arrived, and Italy's s'posed to be worse, and that's not even considerin the ever-present racism in both leagues!cobra kai wrote:i think the only investment we need should be spent on wages. i think if wed had the money hleb and flamini would have stayed. i think players WANT to play for Arsenal but thn they see the wages and think im better off elsewhere. and loyalty is hard to find in football these days. im amazed weve kept players like clichy,vpersie,sagna,fabregas when they cud get a lot more at other clubs and not just in england in europe.
Oh Cobra! The grammar wasn't any better second time around.... And that's coming from someone who took three attempts to get English Language O'level!cobra kai wrote:God did i write that? thats horrendous grammar and ive got a degree in english
And why are you surprised that RVP is still here? He's been injured for most of the last two years! Who else would have him....?
