To me its just funny how some of fans believe the potential signing of M'vila will disrupt the progress of Coquelin.
These fans need to realise that we have been trophyless for 8 seasons now and in order to rectify that we need to buy proven talent and not potentials. We have been put in this precarious position due to wengers blind faith on kids/potentials (thank God he's finally woken up).
Imo the main reason why our players have been so poor in recent weeks is due to lack of good competition for places. Song has been careless in the last couple of matches cos he knows Wenger wont bench him for Coquelin no matter what. Same applies to Ramsey and Szescny(admit Flappyhands and Almunia couldnt dislodge him even if he conceded 20 goals in a match)
No true fan can say not winning trophies or at least contesting for titles (esp EPL) doesnt bother him/her.
For that reason we should all be happy when we hear stories of quality players coming to the club...if our potentials like Coquelin and Ramsey are good enough to play for us then they should prove it and perform on the pitch.
Competition is good in our team

I genuinely believe wenger hasnt bought proven players because there has been no money. we jnow hws had to make a profit for years but now it appears Stan is bankrolking some decent signings.
coquelin is not just a potential talent though, he is a very good tlent who will go far, we do need to make sure it is for us and not against us.

Not winning trophies does not bother me. I would rather win trophies, but I don't lose sleep over it when we don't. We do contest the EPL, that's what the 38 played column means in the table at the end of the season.
Guess I'm not a 'true fan'. Ah well, I can live with that.

Exactly... winning trophies is nice, but not winning them does not bother me.

Hanz,
That's kind of why they play isn't it! Sounds like you don't see any new trophies in the near future?
By the way, if the Gunners don't win this week-end then should Arsene be fired?

Yes. Of course it is, and?
"Sounds like you don't see any new trophies in the near future?"
How does it sound like that?
"if the Gunners don't win this week-end then should Arsene be fired?"
On what grounds? If ManU fail to win the league, they would have exited every other competition ahead of Arsenal, should SAF be fired? No, of course not. Stupid question.

Henrys,
The only thing "stupid" is your attempt to equate the success of Man. U and Arsenal in recent years! However, like some others on this medium, you feel uncomfortable with FACTS and often resort to rudeness or personal attack!
Do a little research before you respond to other people's comments. In this case I believe that you will find that, unlike Man. U, Arsenal's recent "trophy success" has been dismal, and I say this as a Gunner fan!
Again, I apologise for introducing FACTS into the issue and perhaps causing you confusion. If anything is "stupid", I believe that trying to equate the recent records of Fergie and Arsene would qualify. GOOD-BYE!

Personal attacks? What are you on about? I was referring to my own question on SAF's sacking being stupid - you want to look at your self for pretty much every criticism in your post.
You asked a simple question, I answered it, and gave good reason in terms you, as a ManU fan, would understand. Jeez, what a berk.

Hang on, maybe you're not a ManU fan - the rest is fine though.

Anyway, you didn't answer any of my questions - just went off on one for seemingly no reason. How's about it then? Why not answer my post rather than go out of your way to be offended by it.

Ah, just seen some more of your comments, it would seem this is what you do to get your kicks - patronise everyone and act all indignant when someone questions your view. Fine, whatever gets you through the day.
