Having said all that, the thing is, one cannot recite the list of hidden gems Arsene found, and then in the same breath complain about Arsene being rubbish at signing the obvious top midfielder. If he can spot the near invisible, surely he can spot whats right in front of him. He said he’s interested…and we have money…therefore the only problem is NOT Arsene sitting on his arse about buying a top defensive midfield player, but that there are NONE available. Thats a logical conclusion, is it not? That makes sense to me.

But, no. Thats not good enough. Now…all of a sudden…everyone knows more than Arsene: Its obvious; its right in front of him; he’s just being stingy. So…I say, OK. Maybe Arsene really is going senile. Maybe there is a player available at even 30M that we could use and worth every penny his club is asking for. I dont know him, and baring some 11th hour swoop, Arsene doesnt know him. So…I’d like to know who this boy wonder that Arsene cant see is? Please, lets at least get one name on offer. Can anyone offer anything?

I didnt think so. Another thing to consider is that during the Wenger years, Arsenal have enjoyed a wonderful era of success, but its been spotted. I mean that we have not been able to win the back-to-back titles or a treble. Almost without exception it has been a case of building up to a great season where we win a title and then an off season where we do well, but not enough to win the title. Last season, we had what it took to win the title. The cruel hand of fate is the only thing that kept us from the top prize. I know its depressing to hear but ordinarily, this should be an “off” season for rebuilding. Until we finish paying for the Emirates and start reaping financial rewards from it, thats how it will be.

You can’t have both ways you dolts. Arsenal football - stylish, ambitious, original, young, unpredictable and acknowledged everywhere as the most exciting football in europe. And you reckon any old manager can do that, well good for you, it would be great to know which manager exactly.

Arsenal is the most ambitious club in Europe already, striving for a level of football - the fast passing game - that other teams look on with envy and their fans look on with hatred, cause they cannot do it.

The same goes for players. The way you guys get on Eboue’s case is sickening. Fans like that are idiots and know next to nothing about Wenger, Arsenal philosophy, what this team has already achieved in terms of football, and that includes Eboue.

Arsenal may or may not win trophies this season, but what other team knows that it will be probably be the most exciting in the league and cause shock waves.

In time Wenger will produce the team to dominate Europe, precisely by working with youngsters. And all you fair weather fans will shout hooray.

Get behind your team in the long term or piss off to Chelsea and go ra-ra-ra for Michael Ballack, sounds like that’s where you belong.

This is Arsenal and we do things our way, the way nobody else has the guts to even try. Yes there are set-backs, boo-hoo, mistakes, problems and issues, and you fuckin know when Arsenal get into gear, and they will, no team on earth can match them.

There-there, you go for little lie down little fella, poor chap.

Why have a scouting system in place at the club if we can’t even get some decent players in? After all, didn’t Wenger and his staff bring in Vieira, Henry, Pires, Ljungberg, Kanu, Clichy, Lauren, Campbell, Toure, Edu, Gilberto, Fabregas, Overmars, Anelka, Adebayor, Van Persie, Walcott. Do you want me to go on?

We’ve brought in tons of quality over the years for decent money so don’t tell me there’s none out there!

Arsenal fans in general are the most understanding in the league. We’re not like United, Spurs or Chelsea fans for God’s sake. But when things are bad then we have a right to complain. Who in their right mind would accept Eboue in central midfield? Nevermind he’s not even our first choice right back or right winger!

Good plan Hanibal
