Giroud out for 3 months?

The fact that we have not bought in a striker for the last 3 windows is a disgrace in itself.

Doesn't this giroud situation remind you of the times rvp was out and we all hoped wenger would strengthen but never did

Or would he sacrifice the season for a player?

Yes.

Like he's never done this before, has he?

Wenger's biggest strength is also his biggest weakness - great faith in players.

I know for a fact that at the RVP time we barely had two bob to rub together.

Its not the same situation. We do have money these days. Its all Wenger now and there are no excuses if he doesn't buy a striker now.

We've always had money Jenius, (adtmittedly not £40m+ money but enough to buy decent replacements) Wenger is behaving in more or less the same way as he did when everyone assumed we were in transition

Don't you think it was better to give RVP a chance rather than buy an inferior replacement?

Rvp wasn't away for a few weeks, it's 3-6 months he would normally be out for

The swiss roll blog or whatever never took into account that although sponorships (8 year long ones) were coming in, money had been borrowed against that and already spent. So although the P&L looked healthy, not £30m healthy as you say, but £10-£15m healthy was actually not true. Wenger admitted in 2008 to news of the world that he had to sell one player a season (£15m). Anything above that was allowed to be re spent on players. You will notice we sold, Hleb, Adebayor, Kolo, Eboue, Cesc, Nasri, Rvp, Clichy, Song. The entire team. So to suggest that Wenger could have gone out and spen more than what those players brought is nonsense.

Your "facts" jenius do not take into account that not only did he have money to spend that he actually did,just on duds that hardly played and on crazy high wages to losers,that could have been rejigged to have bought a good replacement for eg in a jan window when X was injured,one "fact" you are correct with he has no excuse now,the only problem is guys like you who gave everyone grief back then when he had no excuse but you gave him one......money,every sane person knew what was missing but he had a project and did it his way,that was the true problem not a lack of money

Read my post again.

Wenger had to make £15m per-season PROFIT in his transfer business till we signed the new sponsorships a couple of years ago. Thats the fact I was talking abt.

Do you accept that? If you do then every Wenger decision can be explained.
