Nacho and Santi were both great business but you have to remember we are poaching talent from a club who is desperate for money. All Malaga have left that we could do with is Isco and unlike Nacho and Santi, he is still very young and therefor there will be a lot of other clubs competing with us for his signature.

They are all bust in Spain apart from Barca and Madrid who take all the TV money. They are all broke in Italy. Thats why Juve sign players on frees rather than paying fees.

Whatsmore players want to leave Spain because of the new player tax increases. This is why Messi has just signed a new contract. Madrid don't have the money to give all their Glacticos pay rises to keep him happy.

EU is broke. Even Germany's economy is contacting and France is about to introduce a 75% wealth tax.

When new money is coming in the prem TV deal. Thats why its so important to keep our CL position this year. I don't give a toss about the FA Cup this season.

If Wengers can't to blame for a team of experienced internationals losing how can he be given credit for a team of experienced internationals winning?

Thats why Mourinho is not given equivalent credit of a Pep. Mourinho buys all top players.

Wenger collected a lot of poor quality players. I think even Wenger realises that. I have named them.

But who is at fault for that. My opinion is that its the Kroenke. We have sold too many great players over the last 3 years and replaced them with rubbish. And I have feared this was coming ever since we sold Cesc and Nasri.

I'm talking about when we were winning trophies, how can he be giving for winning trophies with experienced internationals but not losing with experienced internationals?

I understood your point. The fact is that managers are responsible for how their experienced or inexperienced players perform. And I stated above that the reason why those players performed poorly is because they are not very good.

So looking a bit more deeply. Do you blame Arsene for buying bad. or Do you blame Kroenke for forcing Arsene to buy players in a price range where you can't expect anything else?

You get what you pay for. The group of players we have exl the English players who have developed and a couple of others like Cazorla we have group who are not very professional and so took the Blackburn game too easily which cost us.

We could of signed Vidal, Pirlo and Michu for what he paid for Ox, there's value out there Wenger either needs better scouts or judgment. How many times have we struggled against lower league opposition in recent years with different players?

I gave a reason for that in one of my previous comments above. Its very much to do with the hangers-on we can't get rid off. We have to give them an occasional game for when we need them when things get dire through injuries. They always tend to lose. If we had more money we could get rid of them as quickly as Chelsea, utd or City do.

However in my opinion, that was not the case yesterday. I think that team was quite strong. And far closer to our first team. That actually makes me more sad because it was obvious in the summer and in Jan that many of the players were not good enough. Especially those trying to replace RVP and Song. Did Wenger have the money available to rectify it in Jan? I feel the fact we didn't get better players in the money available is down to terrible scouting, especially in France.

Doesn't Wenger appoint the scouts?

Think Steve Rowley did. But then Rowley moved so who knows now? And thats the point. We haven't had a Dein figure for 5 years now. From a fans perspective the whole setup has started to look quite mediocre now.

I was right and all you silly AKBs were wrong. Especially the fickle clown passion power who only posts negative bullshít these days.
