The situation at Arsenal is not new and has been brewing for 5 years. Every year the club seemed to lose one or two of their big players and they have never been replaced. Yes, he has made a great deal of money out of the sales but the club has invested it in the new ground and the development of the old Highbury.Arsenal may be a very well run club financially but where is all the money going. The season ticket prices are the most expensive in the world.
Today was really the last straw as the team he put out was the weakest Arsenal side that I have ever seen. There is really no excuse for it and blaming games against Liverpool and the two CL games as an excuse is not really acceptable. The team was totally unprepared. The defence did not have a clue whether they were playing high up the pitch or not. The two centre backs did not evn understand that they were on the pitch. Wenger has got to take the blame for that.Half the team were unknowns and most of the others had passed their sell by dates.
The problems now for the club is the ability to attract big name players to a team that, based on the performances this season, be lucky to finish in the top half of the table. You cannot expect supporters to pay top dollar to watch a group of overpaid second raters perform. What the club has got to do is spend, try to survive this year and come out fighting next season. This will not be easy as they will not qualify for Europe next season.
Highlander you talk about getting players back. Wilshire, Vermalen,Gervenhio and Sagna are not going to turn the tide. In january he will lose 3 players to the African nations Cup. The answer being they buy a cheap South korean.
