Why won't Wenger splash the cash?

Just what is the matter with him in particular and Arsenal FC in general?

Other EPL clubs identify their targets and go and buy them.

Arsenal have been in talks for Alvarez but pulled out because they thought the asking price a couple of million too much. Now the club is back in talks for him but since showing our interest his asking price has risen.

Same with Samba. Why not just pay the extra couple of million and land a defender we really need?

Why chase Gervinho? He ain't an Arsenal-style player and won't help the cause. Hazard would be a better bet.

There are many more examples I could bore you with but my overriding point is this: why is the club so slow, indecisive and sloppy in the transfer market?

=====================================
I agree. With Man United, they wanted Jones and Young. They put in a decent bid and landed them, easy.

Whereas we, scrimp and try and save as much money as possible. I think when Wenger hears that the player is valued over £10M he goes into a state of shock. He just can't comprehend a number that high!

Good point Lady.

Hadn't thought of it that way. Is it because M Wenger is French and they are notorious for being more than a little tight in the wallet area?

totally agree Sir Dennis...spot on

Why..do we move so slow, while our competitors go get the business done?...Man U is having a perfect transfer summer...we have bought no one that is going to resolve any of our problems....

We seem like an organization in paralysis.....I understand being frugal, and negotiating to get the best deal...but other clubs are moving much faster...it is discouraging as an avid Gunner to watch us crawl after the collpase we had this past spring...

c'mon Arsenal..get the business done...build us a back line that can compete for titles..resolve the Fab abd Nasri issue, and give us a midfield that wants to be at Emirates and can deliver....and also a top striker/forward to compliment and partner with VP...

c'mon...

I never take any notice of who we are supposed to be signing as i think Wenger is doing all the hard work behind the scenes and only getting little titbits of news from so called sources and we will have to wait until its on .com
